Too many people think our leaders are incompetent instead of evil

One of the best Jimmy shows.

I noticed this when I saw that the fall TV shows have been released and while some shows have people wearing masks in them or for awhile before they take them off and do no social distancing ect. I wondered again why some businesses are allowed to open while others are not. The big businesses did not shut down and some like Amazon are not doing enough to protect its workers, governors are insisting that small business close down. Ya know to keep them safe. Well if you dictate shut downs then why aren't you obligated to cover them financially? Especially after congress gave businesses that had many other options to fund themselves while shafting the working class. No wonder people's tempers are rising. People see what is going on.

Bernie on the corporate immunity deal

Line up your bets here for how Bernie will vote on the bill if it only allows a one time $1,200 check instead of the monthly stimulus he has been tweeting about.

Bootlicker.

JUST CALM DOWN!

So now that bad orange man Trump is going the way of all next presidents and lining up his next grift the media will go back to ignoring all the things they ignored until Trump came on the scene. Oh well after 4 years of the media manufacturing outrage of Trump's silliness it'll be nice to see them go back to ignoring bad things again. I love how JD exposes their hypocrisy.

"I don’t expect the government to solve my problems."

What about the problems CREATED by government? What about the problems that a single individual or even thousands of individuals can't solve? What about problems that ONLY government can solve?

Great essay, snoop.

I wrote "What about the problems CREATED by government?"

By this I mean things like Social Security benefits that are barely enough to live on. Voting laws that disenfranchise minority voters. The power of big money to influence legislation. Saddling the Post Office with 75 years of reserves for retirements when no other business or agency requires it. Things of that sort.

Would you please explain what your comment means?

elected. How hungry, scared, sick, tired and beat down do people have to be not to rise up or even notice what is happening beyond their own household???

JD is going to have a stroke if he keeps this up. But he is a voice crying in the wilderness. We need more, many more. When Obama tells a black basket ball player to go back to playing games instead of objecting to what is happening, that is a voice with weight, silenced.

Until those who can, actually see and hear what is going on; until those that get it, speak and write; those who get it; march in the streets; those who get it, go on strike like the people of India just did and the French just did, nothing will happen.

Scary times. Thanks Snoop. That lady had me in tears. She is right to be upset and angry. She is protesting. Who will cover it???

He talks about how democrats working with republicans to move the country right is how we got Trump in the first place and what will happen if Biden doesn’t pull the country out of its death throes. The next Trump is going to be much worse and probably smarter.

It would be nice to see Rachel or someone with her platform run the story.

@snoopydawg than a sense of things. Well laid out and documented. The next Trump will be worse. The people have nowhere to go. Interesting that it is Democratic presidents following Republicans in office who implement the worst socio-economic destruction.

Are the mainstream Dems awake yet? Not if what I hear from friends and family are indications. Yikes.

Truly terrifying. The new HHS is one of the bright appointments so far. But how much can he do with what's around him.

Thanks snoop.

If you dain to criticize any democrat their dawg guards will swarm to let you know how wrong you are. Even mild criticism of Pelosi over yonder will get the centrist to dawg pile on one and let them know how brilliant she is and stop saying mean things about her. Blue check Twits fill that role too. Look at the Axelrod quote about Biden's horrible pick.

Now he's appointed a Raytheon general to be sec def which is supposed to be a civilian position. Well if Trump did it it's for Biden to do it too. Even tho they bitched about how wrong it was. It's the effin hypocrisy that gets me every time.

@snoopydawg
to concede the presidency to the Democrats and then make sure the voting population continues to suffer under Biden. This is the exact strategy Jimmy pointed out in his video with regard to Nancy Pelosi refusing to let a second round of checks go out before the election......because it might help Trump.

It’s clear there is no plan for a general recovery. But there certainly is a plan for the donor class; continuing to look after their own interests and enjoy windfall profits, and leaving the rabble to fend for themselves.

Deliberately sabotaging your country's economy because people richer than you want you to do that. Instead of the banks setting up the financial crisis we have our own government doing that. I call that treason towards the people by those who know better, but just don't give a chit.

CA has a 21 billion dollar budget surplus this year, despite everything. Malfeasance is the word I was looking for to describe how the Ds appear to me, totally corrupt bananas: COVID-19 smartphone tool rolled out in California to trace virus cases

Californians have a new way to find out if they were exposed to COVID-19 as cases and hospitalizations soar throughout the state.

Gov. Gavin Newsom on Monday announced a new COVID-19 exposure smartphone tool that's being rolled out. CA Notify was tested out at University of California campuses earlier this fall and will be available statewide on Thursday.

Newsom said that in the eight weeks since the tool's launch, more than 60 positive test verification codes have been issued.

60 codes could have been issued! Wow WTF? And then what? ... crickets? What happens if a person gets the buzzer? Bzzzzt! I can't seem to find out, it's not apparent. Hotel room and a debit card? I don't know, how would I know? Call 211? ... Kablam!

Cui bono? Who profits? Apple and Google and the UC Regents, as far as I can tell. The MIC. How much was that app contract? Maybe they did it for nothing. And where is the code that shows me it is so private and secure? On Microsoft's github? LOL I will trust it just as soon as I can verify it. Just as soon as I can find an ethical hacker left on earth... (eternal jeopardy sounds). Until then I will encourage all humans in every state to boycott and resist the hell out of this new Covid-19 Nazify crap. WTF are they thinking?
This ain't Wuhan, this is unsanitary class divided shithole California where murderous Utility Companies are still jacking up the costs of energy distribution, not to mention the water wars. Are we talking about healthy minds and strong bones yet? Nope. Clean streets and uncrowded living conditions? Nope. Living wages? Nope. But an app! Get back to work you stupid slaves! whip lash bzzzt!

good luck

P.S. This is Wuhan: A year on, markets bustling in Chinese city where COVID-19 emerged

... “I’m not afraid, what is there to be afraid of?”
... she will continue to disinfect and boil her clothes
... as city cleaners sprayed down the pavements

WTF? The other bar owner guy protesting in Jimmy's vid was correct, I think. But there is more to sanitation then just clean restaurant tables and disposable eating implements. Achoo! Gesundheit.
