This Week’s Discussion:

Adding insult to injury, corporations start running coronavirus-themed ads. Hearing bullshit from selfish, greedy entities with no concern for the welfare of anyone but themselves and who, in many cases, are responsible for exacerbating the crisis, is...well, kind of like listening to a Republican politician. But seriously, having to listen to VW commiserate with us on our breathing problems is not just Orwellian, it is so perfectly in the moment!

We commemorate the 50th Anniversary of Earth Day. We really can't say "celebrate" as November may just about end any lingering possibility we might be able to celebrate a 100th.

But we are so excited to be able to report on some good news: despite their latest voter suppression efforts, including essentially threatening would-be voters with death, Trump gets his ass handed to him in Wisconsin. What does that mean for November? It means the GOP will redouble its efforts to cheat to steal the election. In more bad news for the criminal-in-chief, a Republican-led Senate committee unanimously finds no factual basis for his war on the intelligence community's investigations of his misconduct. What does that mean for November? It means the GOP will redouble its war on reality. You didn't expect a sane response, did you? The non-brain-dead need to be prepared for what's coming.

Finally, Trump's latest efforts to profit off of the coronavirus, no matter who gets caught in the crossfire. But that will require a scapegoat, which is where the W.H.O. and immigrants come in. Why not pick a fight with the people trying to save us during a pandemic and the people feeding us during it? Trump supporters, including Republican Governors, are so brain-dead stupid and such human disgraces that they will happily let themselves be used as mindless tools by the usual puppet-masters in order to fight for their right to infect themselves and others. And these are the people we are going to come together with as a nation as we fight this mutual battle? Keep dreaming.
