Don't drink the koolaid, pt. 2

-
The level of koolaid drinking has reached an absolutely ridiculous level. I will forewarn the readers, this is a shit on CNN blog. This article was posted yesterday. It includes several statements portrayed as facts that are not facts. The opening paragraph is great. "Reports that the Russians bribed the Taliban with bounties for killing US service members were stunning -- and not just because of the alleged targeting of American soldiers, but because the Trump administration apparently did nothing to retaliate against Russia." Did anyone with half a brain read this before they hit publish? John Bolton says it is unverified intelligence. There is not a single person in Washington willing to go on record saying that Russia offered bounties on US troops. It is an unverified, uncorroborated, report that the New York Times ran as fact. The actual fact that no one is confirming that this happened is apparently lost on CNN. Instead, they use a completely unverified, unsourced story to somehow justify needing to see the President's tax records? What happened to standards in reporting? What happened to reporting facts? I will tell you what happened. Everyone at CNN drank the koolaid and is now willing to completely disregard any appearance of ethical, factual reporting if it means they can shit on Trump. It is almost sickening to watch. Go ahead CNN, continue to contribute to the dumbing down of America and watch Trump get reelected. People are not dumb. This article will do more to help get Trump reelected than hurt. 20% of the country believes Trump is the devil, 20% believes he is the messiah. Drinking the koolaid caters to the 20% and does nothing to appeal to the 80% of us wondering why y'all are stupid. Be smarter. Be better. The American people deserve better.

The Cubs are coming!

-
The Cubs schedule dropped today and it looks awesome. 60 games in 65ish days. (I don't know how calendars work). Let's see how the season will shake out. July 24 – Brewers July 25 – Brewers July 26 – Brewers Cubs sweep 3-0. Rizzo is fired up. Rossi is on a mission. The ivy is green. July 27 – at Reds July 28 – at Reds July 29 – at Reds July 30 – at Reds Cubs take series 3-1. The Reds get one due to home field. We are now 6-1. July 31 – Pirates Aug. 1 – Pirates Aug. 2 – Pirates Cubs sweep. The Pirates aren't good and they know it. Rossi has the fans ready to run through brick walls and the players ready to run through buildings. El Mago is doing magic shit and Contreras has 5 pick offs at first minimum. 9-1 record. Aug. 3 – Royals Aug. 4 – Royals Aug. 5 – at Royals Aug. 6 – at Royals At this point a division of Abrams tanks could be placed in front of the Cubs roster and it wouldn't stop these guys. Rossi points and Rizzo and Bryant go. 1...

No one knows shit about fuck. Pt. 6

-
So after several heavy, data intensive blogs, we are back to a more light hearted topic. The rona. The semi forgotten pandemic has came roaring back into the headlines with  this awesome story . Great news!!!! It's "rare" for asymptomatic people to spread the virus. Awesome, we can go back to stay home if your sick right? Well, maybe not. If you take the time to read the story a not so clear picture emerges. Here's some quotes. In its recent  updated guidance on mask-wearing,  the WHO said that studies of asymptomatic transmission to date are small, but that virus spread via fomites (objects and surfaces) in those cases cannot be ruled out. So... it doesn't happen unless it does? I'm not a doctor or a nurse or even a CNA but I'm pretty sure that line is self contradictory. So asymptomatic transmission is small unless they touch stuff and you touch it?  This story  contains the following quote "The new coronavirus "does not spread easily" fro...

$1200 for 10 weeks

-
I think the entire package provides economic relief overall for about 10 weeks," Mnuchin told CBS's "Face the Nation." "Hopefully we will kill this virus quicker and we won't need it, but we have liquidity to put into the American economy to support American workers and American business." So, ol' Steve is getting murdered online for this quote. Secretary Mnuchin say $1200 dollars will last 10 weeks. This is popping up all over twitter, facebook, and my news feed. Wake the fuck up people. He isn't referring to the stimulus check. He is referring to the 2.2 trillion (best guess because the people who wrote it don't know the price tag) package. The whole fucking thing. The one where you are a guaranteed to qualify for unemployment if you lost your job due to coronavirus. The one that gives small business loans. The one that gives any waitress making $300 a week roughly $800 a week in unemployment benefits. This is why the news sucks. CNN, MSNB...
