This just feels soooo 2020. Yes, there's video.

It’s been a hectic few days for news reporters—so please spare a thought for CNN correspondent Joe Johns who, while trying his best to update the nation on the president’s condition despite a lack of clear information coming from the White House, was ambushed by a raccoon. Seconds before his New Day slot, Johns was attacked from behind by the sneaky critter, prompting him to roar and throw some kind of cloth covering at it to frighten it off. After successfully completing his news update, Johns can be heard muttering about “Fricking racoons, man,” and revealing he’s previously been ambushed by the creature. “It always comes around right before I’m about to go on TV,” complained the newsman.

No doubt Trump will ascribe the raccoon's presence to the White House's previous occupant.

A masked marauder attacking a white person. Then again, Pres Trump may like it more since the racoon attacked a reporter.

If you've got public schools paid for by taxpayers, you're in a socialist nation. If you have public roads paid for by taxpayers, socialist nation. If you've got public defense (police, fire, military, coast guard) paid for by tax dollars, socialist nation. If you're in a nation that has nationalized or localized delivery of services that are not paid for by users alone, you're in a socialist nation- the only question is how socialist. As I see it, we pay the military pay to protect the shipping lanes for our fuel needs which makes us very socialist. In a capitalist nation, the people supplying the oil would pay for their own defense force.

"I can't go out because of the virus" sounds whiny and boring. I'm going with: "I've sworn an oath of solitude until the pestilence is purged from the lands." because it sounds more valiant and heroic. As a bonus, people might think you're carrying a sword.

I get it. They had a guy ratf**k the post office. They filled the courts with hacks. They spent a ton of money. They filed so many lawsuits. They even started a riot ! It’s so unfair that they went to all that trouble and still lost. Anonymous

That raccoon is seeking on air time...maybe it needs to tell us something important.

And there was much rejoicing. Yay.

How can I be expected to distinguish BS from reality when so much of my reality is utter BS?!
