Anya, the Shopkeepers of America called. They wanted me to tell you that 'please go' just got replaced with 'have a nice day.'

Yikes, just found out that a friend (formerly with benefits) had his house in foreclosure and potentially going up for auction in a couple weeks. He's had a rough couple of years, what with losing his partner, business troubles, and now the pandemic that's probably sunk his side hustle.

Not what I was expecting when I signed into Zillow this morning.

Darn, Matt. Best wishes to your friend.

That's rough, Matt.

SCOTUS struck down a law restricting abortions in Louisiana. For the moment, Roe v. Wade is safe.

In addition to the 2 SCOTUS picks there are also the 200 additional judicial appointments, many of them completely unqualified. Is there any group/discussion/effort to do something about impeaching some of these picks WHEN sane people have control of the Senate again?

Now tagless for your comfort.

Yeah. I really worry that the end game on this is simply going to be lots of dead bodies.

Maintenance Guy's mask is hanging under his GODDAMN CHIN.

Matt, that's awful. Poor guy.

I still can't believe that asshat has TWO SCOTUS picks. TWO. I go blind with rage if I think about it too long.

So pretty similar to the beginning and middle-game, huh?

Actually I think what we've seen so far is going seen like the cold opening compared to what's coming.

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.

Thank goodness for that.

I'm seeing traffic almost back to normal around here, grocery isn't back to capacity but about 20% of people are not wearing masks or not wearing them properly. I believe I will go back to ordering grocery delivery. For the foreseeable future I'm staying at home and only going in to the office for three hours once a week to open the store, which involves packing up online orders and handing them out the door to patrons. I can handle that. I am really lucky to have this option.

I don't like to doomsay or make predictions, but this is going to get much worse. The virus is not going away anytime soon, not in the US anyway, and the bloated orange tick is going to create as much chaos and destruction as he can in the time he has left, because that's what he does.

I want him to get COVID-19. I really, really do, and I'm not sorry about it. I have never, ever felt like this about a POTUS, not even W., who is a fucking war criminal who I loathed with the fire of 1,000 suns. I didn't actually wish death on W., but I genuinely and with zero remorse wish the same slow painful death on Trump that he's caused for literally tens of thousands of the citizens he purports to lead.

You misspelled hundreds of thousands.

Yep, Trump has completely blown through my concerns about my karma. I hope he gets sick and suffers, and if he dies, so much the better. It'd be great if he could take McConnell, Graham, Cruz, and Collins with him. Oh, and that asshole who argued for sending in the military against protesters.
