“I’m a germaphobe” – the line I remember best from PDT’s first press conference after the Deep State leaked the Fake Dossier to the Enemy of the People. Germaphobia makes golden showers with Moscow hetaerae exceedingly unlikely.
Good that Sam and Zed are not susceptible to the Blue Plague (that enables the Kung Flu).
As a Canadian who now has a foothold in Texas, I’m far from expert on the local cuisine but I’ve had garlic green beans at a couple of restaurants… and Texas was the first place I’d had it so I thought it was regional.

I get it that PDT has been forced, for the first time in his presidency, to play defence.

The weapons they use next time will make COVID19 look like child’s play.

If the Republicans are smart they will resurrect the TEA party (which may happen anyway when the New Debt Crisis wipes out the Post-Covid-19 recovery) and overwhelm what’s left of the Democrats with I-Told-You-So at the ballot box.
What’s really needed though is some way to prevent accumulating that Mountain of Debt in peacetime, which I believe is probably a direct consequence of a popularly elected Senate that cannot bring themselves to stop pandering to the lowest common denominator.
That may require nothing less than a Constitutional Amendment.

I wish they could all be put together into one big quarantine house; they could have their very own COVID-19 house party.
They might as well create and organize a new political party just for them and name it the COVID Party …

I live in Colorado Springs now (moved here last August) and things have been OK here since the onset of the COVID-19 pandemic. Yeah, darn idiot hoarders bought up all the TP and I’ve avoided grocery shopping on busy Saturdays and mostly shop on weekdays in the morning. The shelves are getting better stocked, the beer aisle is well stocked and my favorite, Voodoo Ranger IPA 12 packs are on sale! The meat department is also getting better stocked since those initial panic buying days. I’ve been able to get some really good angus steak, pork chops, hamburger patties, chicken wings and bacon! I’m eating good, almost too good lately! 🙂 Fellow customers are nice to each other and the staff is hanging in there and I make it a point to say a good word to them as they’ve been on the front lines of this, stressful for them as well! The TP aisle is still mostly barren, but I’ve seen packages stocked when they can get it. Frozen veggies are also pretty bare as well as soups and canned food. I haven’t seen any mob scenes so far and people seem to be going out of their way to be nice to each other! Yeah, social distancing is being practiced for the most part. People are friendly in Colorado and along with the beautiful mountain scenery and nice weather for the most part, I think helps uplift peoples spirits, I know it uplifts me! I hope you’re all dealing with the COVID-19 pandemic as best as you can! Having a good sense of humor helps and this is why I start my day here on https://www.daybydaycartoon.com/ !
