I do not watch Fox news. I consider myself smart enough to recognize a bunch of stupid racist and enough of a decent person to be angered and offended by it.That coupled with my high blood pressure and bipolar makes this shitty pile of asshole bad for my health. They make any kind of distancing easy. To close and I might do something they would regret.

The result is that, rather than getting an uncensored, unadulterated, factual briefing from only the medical professionals, without the filler that Pence and the rest have pushed, then using the most effective time to fact-check Trump... right after he runs his mouth, they must instead fully participate in promoting the propaganda shitshow. It’s designed to be run that way so as to control viewers based on their attention spans, and unwillingness to push past their shock-fatigue and get to the facts. If the format gets tampered with, then it’s less impactful, and that includes the parts with Pence and his messaging task force.

A large portion of this is access to preventative healthcare. This is an ongoing inequality when the "primary" heath insurance and access is through employers. The rules can be skirted so that a "full time" employee isn't actually full time, and therefore exempt from the insurance requirement. See "39 hour weeks" for examples.

I had it in the 80's, but that was because it was old and what was in the apartment I rented. I would not have chosen it.

I did my taxes back in 2/28, and I'm still waiting for my refund, let alone my stimulus.

Fucking cretins. Joe Biden is the official Democratic nominee for a few hours... "Well it's time to start attacking him relentlessly!! We have to reelect President Koresh! Err, I mean President Trump!"

Tucker Carlson and Chris Cilizza should co-host a show. With frequent guest appearances by Lou Dobbs, Bill O'Reilly, and, uh, that albino Mormon dude who used to do all of the conspiracy blackboards. Set up a basement studio somewhere, never come out again.
