Several of you noted that the President must have meant he “just beat COVID” in the sense that he arrived back in the US just before COVID arrived in the country. He arrived back in the US on February 25th. So, narrowly speaking, even this isn’t true. But it was before the major confirmed outbreak started in March. So I think this must be what he meant: a) because it is the only non-absurd explanation (a hard standard for Trump), b) but more importantly because it’s the only explanation which makes the one statement have any logical connection to the one that preceded it. (Making nonsensical statements to own the libs …)

Video shows a suspicious white man breaking windows at the Minneapolis Auto Zone and then walking away from the scene. This looks like an effort to instigate trouble in order to blame the protesters for the consequences.

Right before the quarantine I played nothing but Back to Basics and Mermaid Avenue one weekend. Such an amazing artist and activist. I may not agree with everything he says, but I respect him immensely.

I've never seen a shit-eating grin look so much like your taking an actual shit. It's the perfect.

Reading the rest of his twitter account, I'm not exactly sure he's real - or if he is, that he was at work at all this month. He joined Twitter with his first tweet May 5 and has 1500+ tweets since then. And the last three days, there is no way he was working with the volume of tweets he was sending.

Botsentinal.com rates him as OK, and they're said to be pretty good.

Some people tweet all night, especially when stressed.

One of the indicators of bot activity is that they retweet other bots or make independent posts that mirror other bots. The site I linked especially checks for that.

Excellent stuff.

Buckley has acquired (mostly by virtue of a Boston patrician accent) a reputation for intellectual integrity and distance from the excesses of the American Right. That's all a lie. He was a piece of shit who wrote in defense of segregation and white superiority, served as handmaiden to the political rise of the Christian Right, and ended his public career calling for AIDS-carriers to be tattooed for easy identification.

I hope Trump throws him under the bus. That would be fun.

Way too soon.

I think Trump understands the enormous value in a totally corrupt DOJ, and knows it's not totally easy to come by and what a pain in the ass it is if it isn't.

I'm on a James Baldwin kick.

I just refreshed myself on Buckley. Heavy-handed "benevolent" subjugation seems to be a recurring theme.
