Until some humans come along and dig up the tasty salt.

Obviously the glowing green salt is the best salt.

So Pelosi is now mandating masks to be worn by everyone in the house due to the Gomert thing, how do you think they'll react to that?

That it's an attempt to mass assassinate congress, despite trump finally wearing a mask and advocating for it.

Sorry, but that 'k' sort of stops the flow. No cigar.

Well so do cigars if you smoke them long enough

(I assume they have similar long-term effects on breathing as cigarettes do?)

"I am happy to inform you that anyone who is living their Suburban Lifestyle Dream will no longer be bothered or financially hit by housing for the lower incomes being built in your neighborhood", thus spoke Trump, who just cancelled the AFFH rule from the 1968 Civil Rights Act that had been finally instated by Obama.

Translation: fuck you, lower income black people, go build slums in the ghetto.

Where Hillary went way too far by calling Trump voters deplorables, this goes a step further.  According to Trump, there is no place for the poor in the American Dream.  Where Hillary's words were just that, words, Trump turns his words into action.

EDIT: In other news, unless a miracle happens, coming friday, 30 million Americans will no longer be able to withdraw cash from the ATM, or pay their rent, or buy groceries. Coming friday, the payments for those that lost their income due to the corona virus end.  Millions of Americans are panicking.

Trump tweeted a quizzical "should we delay the election?" to avoid voter fraud by mail-in ballots. A type of fraud which doesn't exist. Not a good look.

It's only fraud when someone else does it. When him, Barr, Devos and others in his cabinet do it, why, it's just exercising their rights.

Meanwhile, Biden has openly called for political persecution of anarchists, while mimicking Trump narrative about violent protesters.

Not that it should be surprising to anyone who was paying any attention before the Trump era.

Just needs to be constantly reiterated how marginal the "lesser" is in this cycle's "lesser evil".  And that even the stuff going on in Portland did not began with Trump, and will not end with him.

The whole ' delay the election' thing is probably Just an attempt by Trump to shift the media's focus away from the terrible economic data that just came out.

Don't be so sensationalist.  It isn't that they aren't able to withdraw from ATMs; it's that their accounts will be empty.
 This is bad, but not as bad as making it sound like someone has removed the ability for people to bank.

I'm of divided mind here: on one hand I wish we would be doing more as a society to help people out. On the other hand, for crying out loud everyone knew the benefits were scheduled to run out, so why continue with the blind hope that they would continue indefinitely?

Also - yeah I agree $150 a week is not enough for rent for a single person, but it should be more than enough for food.  If you can't do groceries on $50/week per person I don't know how to help.  But if you are 19 and getting $600 a month for nothing, and can't find roommates, I'm really not sure how to help you other than give you some short term funds and advice to help you transition to a workable situation.
