a guy in a stall discovered he was out of tRump paper, so he hollered to the next stall to see if that guy had any. Nope. "Got any newspaper?" "Nope."
Pause. "Got change for a twenty?"

In another month at the current rate, we won't be asking for change........

The last time they held the White House it took almost eight full years to trash the economy and reduce the nation to absolute chaos.

This time around they've managed it in less than four.

It's true what they say: practice makes perfect.

anyone listening to past executives in charge of infectious diseases would have told you 20 years ago this wasn't a matter of "IF" but "WHEN" - so we had protocols and resources in place to deal with this and the asshole in the white house has been dismantling it since he attained access to the white house. Fairness has been out the window for a long time.

We should not be relieved because Billy got a "D" on his test too.

We had the book.

We had the notes.

I intend to fight as DIRTY as I have to be to bludgeon him and his crime syndicate into oblivion. I want to obliterate his dim consciousness from the face of the earth, so that it never again afflicts mankind with its malevolent strains.

"Fair" isn't in the playbook, starting yesterday, or a couple months ago, whichever comes first.

...that if we really thought Trump was trying to get the right people and resources together to address the Covid-19 pandemic, we'd applaud his efforts. But it's as if he is trying to screw things up even more, TRYING to make it harder to flatten the curve, focusing on profiteering and frustrating the efforts of his political rivals who are trying to save lives. Maybe it's true that Trump just doesn't know what to do, but I sincerely doubt anyone here believes he's doing what he can to make things better for the American people. He. Is. Not.

I've decided that he lives for that, feeds on it, is energized to do more of it.

I'm an atheist, but seeing such a black abyss in human form makes me say he's the devil.

fabricated evidence of weapons of mass destruction, involved the U.S. in two-decades of military conflict in the Middle East--costing the U.S. trillions of dollars, ignored Katrina, and then dragged the U.S. economy into the Great Recession.

..and then Donald Trump said: "Hold My Beer! I can do worse than that!"

I know America has people who are the best at what they do, global experts who are trained to handle this crisis and a great many others -- so it's clear Trump has surrounded himself with exactly zero of them.

Another fucking Trump lie that SHOULD be obvious to the marks who believed his con.

Installed a bidet on every toilet in the house a few years ago. They are cheap, easy to install and pay for themselves over time. Probably more clean and easier on the home plumbing as well.

I am very curious what spurred this run on TP! Why TP and not oatmeal, or can food, rice or something else? Water perhaps? Our local grocier is pretty well stocked but the damn TP

To fall so low in the eyes of humanity!

I noticed rolls of paper towel are about double the width of pooper paper. (*)

A quick slice with an electric saw, 1 roll of paper towel = 2 rolls of pooper paper?

You will need a different plan for disposing of them unless you want major plumbing repair. Kleenix and napkins also plug up the sewer system. Just saying.
