25 comfort shows to binge and get your mind off coronavirus and through quarantine

I recommend "The Good Place". It's a great show. I also recommend “Lodge 49”, “Terriers”, and “Justified”

Shut everything down for 3 to 4 week and send every adult American a check for $3000.00

That would do more to slow the virus spread and save the economy at the same time.

Next, get the fucking test kits out there now. Finally, start setting up regional sites for taking care of the sick.

Please! Can we just stop electing Republicans to the presidency?

Didn't think it could be worse than Bush II.
Didn't think it could be worse than 9/11, Iraq, Katrina, and the Financial crisis.

Man, was I ever wrong.

For some small tax cuts, most Americans have no problem pushing us to the brink of the abyss.

If we quarantine in place for 4 weeks and issue money to people who can't work remotely,

or cannot get sick leave, would that be enough to get us through this without too much strain on our hospitals and healthcare systems?

Bernie staying the race fuels conspiracy theories and makes unity just that much harder.

By Bernine continuing to be in the race and demanding debates even though the race has been decided will only embolden his most die-hard supporters who still believe that Bernie can still win the nomination. So, when he loses, it's the "establishment stole the nomination", or "the media hates Bernie", or "I'm voting for Jill Stein".

Instead of gracefully ending his campaign and give his supporters time to work through their emotions properly so that they're in the right frame of mind for the fight ahead, he insists on giving them this false hope that the nomination is still within reach. So, yes, he'll still have his big rallies. Still collect donations. Stoke anger and hatred towards the Democrats.

This is bad and dangerous for the party and the fall campaign.

--On Edit--
This clip will give you some insight into the minds of Bernie supporters:

This is all about keeping those campaign donations flowing

And making sure that top staffers get paid. There's no chance at the nomination.

Staying in a race that you cannot win and taking donations is fraud.

The only reason for Sanders to continue is just to collect donations so that his staffers can collect a paycheck. That is fraud.

Hey ASOIAF fans, we need Lord Quenton Hightower

Grey plague hit the city of Oldtown when Grand Maester Pycelle was young. It wiped out half the city and three-quarters of the Citadel during its run. To prevent its spread, Lord Quenton Hightower ordered the gates barred, all the ships in harbor burned, and anyone trying to leave killed. These orders made him extremely unpopular, but the measures were successful. The day he rescinded the orders, after the plague had burnt itself out, Quenton and his young son were pulled from their horses and had their throats slit by the survivors

Trump has not been tested. Should he be?

Tested for covid-19 that is, not for anything else.
