I honestly don't understand how people can go from claiming the virus is a hoax created by the media to get at Trump to a very serious disease.  I read 1984, but I didn't think anyone actually switched from "We have always been at war with East Asia" to "We have always been at war with Eurasia" just like that.
I've given it serious thought. I must scorn the ways of my family, and seek a Japanese woman to yield me my progeny. He shall live in the lands of the east, and be well tutored in his sacred trust to weave the best traditions of Japan and the Sacred South together, until such time as he (or, indeed his house, which will periodically require infusion of both Southern and Japanese bloodlines of note) can deliver to the South it's independence, either in this world or in space.  -Lettow April of 2011

The difference there is that it actually is a serious disease.
To sleep, perchance to dream. But in that sleep of death, what dreams may come?

It was a famous lesson of early 20th century propaganda, which Goebbels took to heart, especially at the moment of the German-Soviet Pact. You just never skip a beat.

Sad to say but I'm not surprised by this. This last 4 years I've seen it a lot. As soon as you show up one set of nonsense for what it is they just switch tack. It's about winning, not truth.

I am, somehow, less interested in the weight and convolutions of Einstein's brain than in the near certainty that people of equal talent have lived and died in cotton fields and sweatshops.

So earlier they were complaining Democrats wanted to give people money, now they complain they don't want to give people money.

Oh and three Republicans and one Democrat dumped their stocks and now it seems only Democrats did it.

I think the Chinese flag in the background is a nice "subtle" touch.

It's such a contrast from Austria where all parties have come together to carry the current situation. The opposition criticizes a few things, but also point out that now is not the time to bicker and fight. The measures so far have all been enacted unanimously.

I thought we were more sophisticated than that.

And the most prominent of those four, and the only one who is likely guilty, is a Republican. Convenient...
The medievals were only too right in taking nolo episcopari as the best reason a man could give to others for making him a bishop. Give me a king whose chief interest in life is stamps, railways, or race-horses; and who has the power to sack his Vizier (or whatever you care to call him) if he does not like the cut of his trousers.

Government is an abstract noun meaning the art and process of governing and it should be an offence to write it with a capital G or so as to refer to people.

Wow, it's like the Kremlin have implanted a direct IV for their propaganda into vulnerable Americans/Westerners.

I wonder what the reality of the Russia photo is.

Curious to see these people heralding communism given what we know about them.

A lot of the stuff on my sisters' timelines at the moment is about the plight of the truckers in these days, and that hotels, restaurants etc. should offer them free stuff for the services they provide. :unsure:
