...Geraldo Rivera?

Shonda, read all of sandman rn and maybe we can be friends

[Tripon]

Somebody is going to tell Shosta seriously to read Garth Ennis, and the first thing he's going to find is Crossed. 

[Rufus]

Crossed is so bleak it loops around to being hilarous. Better than Walking Dead though.

someone just gave me Okami HD as a gift so it's not like I have infinite time, guys

You have negative time if you want to finish it.

Going to lose one of the only good senators for uggo ginger Kennedy because Dem voters have golden retriever brains 

[curly]

It must be all those disaffected Republicans coming over. Welcome aboard, new democrats!

Jennifer Rubin is a Democrat, just like AOC, Bernie Sanders, Mandark, and Mitt Romney

[Phoenix Dark]

He can just get his seat back when Warren becomes vice president 

but really tho, what's the rush for Kennedy to elbow into the senate? Even in a scenario where Warren doesn't become VP, Markey likely isn't going to be a senator for much longer anyway so...why piss people off, look like an entitled jerk, etc. It's not like he's gonna become president so...?

[curly]

Is there a more overrated political dynasty than the Kennedys? JFK wasn't even that hot tbh.

[curly]

As far as I can tell the appeal of JFK is that he would have started doing good things if he hadn't died, but if he was smart he would have done good things when he was still alive

[OnlyRegret]

assassination by the deep state guarantees martyrdom

[Nintex]

Kennedy was basically Trump.

Rich popular guy that his political adversaries hated, cheated on his wife and he even failed at invading a communist state but was friendly with the Russian leader at the time 

[Nintex]

There's a debate between Amash and Vermin going on right now

[CatsCatsCats]

Sell me on it? Wrath told me half-seriously to read Watchmen and to his surprise I did it in a few days.

It’s widely regarded as one of the best and I’ll be nice to you, it’s all in the pitch

[D3RANG3D]

[Phoenix Dark]

I'm still not sure who would be a "good" VP but I swear to god Amy K would be a terrible choice. Doubling down on non-charismatic moderates would be such a weird decision. She wasn't bad in the debates but jeez...no.

[TakingBackSunday]

I personally think Abrams is the best choice but I’m sure there are reasonable arguments against it.

[curly]

Friendly with Bloomberg, wholeheartedly endorsed Biden on Tara Reade, will clearly do or say anything to get higher office, not great on voting rights when she was actually in office...

[curly]

Also whoever Biden picks is the presumed heir to the party throne and she isn't nearly as progressive as her media coverage would make you think

[benjipwns]

The Georgia state House of Representatives to the Vice Presidency, with a possibility of the Presidency, is quite a leap in four years.

[benjipwns]

stost should also read Lucifer after he completes The Sandman, then shonda probably needs to read METAL for Daniel's appearance but likely needs to read Final Crisis/Morrison's Batman and its associated works to understand the depth of the references to the Multiverse and Barbatos while also framing it within Snyder's Batman, basically shasta needs to read everything ever printed since it's all canon now

[Tripon]

I think the appeal was that he was young and rich and fucked a lot and that seemed a lot cooler to people than the old flabby boring dudes that came before him

I mean, he also picked an old flabby boring dude as his VP, who also hated his guts.

[Coitus]

I personally think Abrams is the best choice but I’m sure there are reasonable arguments against it.

The best one is that she’s a fat annoying grifter.

boring? is THIS boring?

Kennedy was basically Trump.

Except for the whole, you know, getting a purple heart while saving his squadron in WWII. And being popular.

Dude should change his name to Ed Malarkey, imo tbh

Trump is now retweeting any sort of conspiracy cook with an Obama/Flynn story.
Apparently Monday there will be another "bombshell" according to the Trumpverse, a message Trump also retweeted.

Another round of direct payments to Americans.

[team filler]

Anybody here have a mortgage? What's your bank saying?

no mortage, but the bank I got my car loan from wants my car. I've now saved up about as much money as I owed on the loan 3 years ago when I stopped paying 



is the repo man an essential employee?

I don't get the no mask thing. Do they think only sissys wear them?

[naff]

here barely anyone wears masks. I was out with a friend the other day (we are out of full lockdown, and about to go down to level 2 - basically free business + social distancing) and she said she's wearing one because her bf is Asian and said he would like to wear one, but doesn't want to until more white people do, so she's doing her bit lmao 

health professionals and govt officials here have basically said wearing masks is more than likely detrimental in non healthcare scenarios. things like needing to touch your face more outweigh the benefits.

nz gov put together this more official report reviewing the science the other day https://www.health.govt.nz/our-work/diseases-and-conditions/covid-19-novel-coronavirus/covid-19-novel-coronavirus-health-advice-general-public/covid-19-face-mask-and-hygiene-advice

direct link to study: https://www.health.govt.nz/system/files/documents/pages/evidence-review-for-the-use-of-facemasks-by-the-public-may6-2020.pdf

[Mandark]

I might have said this in the corona thread, but I listened to Ardern addressing the NZ public and got really wistful for the idea of having a (seemingly) competent adult as a country's leader.

[Nintex]

1. Trump doesn't like the aesthetics of it

2. He thinks wearing masks would imply the members of the White House are worried about their health, which he believes sends a wrong message to the country he desperately wants to open back up ASAP

1 for sure. It doesn't look 'good' on TV.

2 probably comes from Kushner, Pence and the others to justify 1 to the staff.

Anybody here have a mortgage? What's your bank saying?

"Amount due: $2,751.97"

mine offered to move my payments til the end in exchange for charging interest and late fees on the entire unpaid amount

bot accounts

[nachobro]

mine is through a local credit union, they sent an email saying i can delay up to three months of payments which was nice. my student loan company was the funnier email. they let me know they are doing their best to support me through covid by getting rid of all customer service people and requiring payments to be made on time...such sweet folks.
