    Hmm. Usually, Sunday isn’t a continuation of the weekday strips.

    (That’s a snark, obviously, because weekday strips are two weeks behind, Sunday strips more like two months. Unless Scott did the lot of them over two months ago – and has been on vacation since)

    How many of these in a row so far?

    Should we start a pool about how many there will be total?

    No the idiot-in-chief is still spreading ruin.

    President Trump didn’t create the media cesspool that he’ll bequeath to a troubled nation. He just made it exponentially worse — not only with his own constant lies but with his ability to spread the ugliness. So what, if anything, can the reality-based press do to counter it? No more “false equivalence” — giving equal weight to truth and lies in the name of fairness. https://www.washingtonpost.com/lifestyle/media/trump-disinformation-journalism-next-steps/2020/11/20/6a634378-2ac8-11eb-92b7-6ef17b3fe3b4_story.html

    The GOP are back to “break everything, then blame the Dems when the Dems can’t fix it.”

    ~

    President-elect Joe Biden’s transition team condemned the Trump administration’s decision to end several emergency lending programs, blasting the move Friday as “deeply irresponsible” given the ongoing economic threats posed by the pandemic.

    Biden’s team has not been in communication with the Treasury Department and had no advance notice or consultation that Treasury Secretary Steven Mnuchin would pull the plug on several emergency lending programs run jointly by the Treasury and Federal Reserve, according to Biden policy advisers.

    Aides to the president-elect have looked at the unspent aid as one of many potential tools to boost the flagging economy Biden is set to inherit on Jan. 20, the advisers said.

    Some of the lending facilities, such as the troubled Main Street Lending Program, have issued few loans and could be revamped to offer more generous assistance to small businesses. In a letter released Thursday, Mnuchin requested that unspent money be reallocated, a decision that would require cooperation from the Fed.

    “The Treasury Department’s attempt to prematurely end support that could be used for small businesses across the country when they are facing the prospect of new shutdowns is deeply irresponsible,” Kate Bedingfield, a Biden spokeswoman, said in a statement.

    “At this fragile moment, as the COVID and economic crises are re-accelerating, we should be reinforcing the government’s ability to respond and support the economy.”

    We used to be admired and praised

    a country one could trust

    Donald Trump has changed all that

    The world now laughs at us

    Now he tampers with our vote

    He knows what it will be

    He doesn’t want our vote to count

    He fears democracy

    He offers us no leadership

    content to lie and blame

    As he divides us more each day

    and we are filled with shame

    We die now as he’s playing golf

    and Covid Numbers soar

    And yet he turns his back on us

    as he has done before

    And those who now enable him

    their eyes now filled with glee

    gaze at the damage he now does

    content with what they see

    Let’s burn it down, destroy it all

    or so they seem to say

    We want a fascist dictator

    and Trump will lead the way

    They wave their flags and tote their guns

    yet most have never served

    the country they would tear apart

    and surely don’t deserve

    They do not seem to realize

    that what they do is wrong

    Democracy is like your youth

    For once it’s gone, it’s gone

    Just a few more weeks. I hope Biden is planning to allocate money to rebuild the WH after Tweety Amin torches it on the way out.

    I think I’m going to put on a YouTube video of a crackling fire place (I live in a small apartment), settle in with a good book, some hot chocolate, and let the craziness continue without me for a while.

    If he saw his shadow, we’ll have six more weeks of nonspecific, vaguely unsettling situations that can conveniently be taken to mean almost anything you don’t like. The courage BURNS.
