Has anyone heard from/about Bloomberg since he dropped out of the race?


You remember, the guy with all the money who was gonna spend it to hurt trump?

Seems to me Mr. Money Bags could afford to do a little bit of good in this virus crisis.
You know, act like maybe he cares about say, NY or NYC in its hour of need....

Ok, I'll ask the obvious question, then



Why is no one on "stage" doing any form of social distancing during these "press conferences"?

No masks, I could kinda sorta understand...security and all that.

Trump sent 5,000 rotted masks to Alabama.


Past use date of 2010.

In good news, our dipshit Gov. finally ruled we stay at home, for non-essential work, grocers remain open.
and of course....gun shops.
And churches...churches can stay open. 80% of people here attend churches, there are zillions of churches here.




We officially have 1,515 cases, and 38 deaths. as more testing is being done in the largest towns now.

Alabama and Miss. Governors share the same denial of virus danger.



Alabama Gov. Kay Ivey has shrugged off the idea of a shelter in place and/or emergency declaration about the virus. Says doesn't want to hurt the economy.

Exact words: ""We are not California. We are not New York. We are not even Louisiana."

Mississippi Gov. Tate Reeves signed an executive order Tuesday that effectively overruled cities who shuttered non-essential businesses amid the coronavirus pandemic.

Reeves, a Republican, signed an order that labels businesses such as gun stores, department stores and real estate offices as both "essential" and "critical."

He said: "Mississippi's never going to be China," "Mississippi's never going to be North Korea."
