Well that seems bad.

From that New Yorker, in which we learn that Mitch McConnelâs three daughters are democrats and his ex-wife a philosophy PhD who runs a womenâs history archive at Smith college.
McConnell also appears to have lost the political support of his three daughters. The youngest, Porter, is a progressive activist who is the campaign director for Take On Wall Street, a coalition of labor unions and nonprofit groups which advocates against the âpredatory economic powerâ of âbanks and billionaires.â One of its targets has been Stephen Schwarzman, the chairman and C.E.O. of the Blackstone Group, who, according to the Center for Responsive Politics, has, since 2016, donated nearly thirty million dollars to campaigns and super pacs aligned with McConnell. Last year, Take On Wall Street condemned Blackstoneâs âdetrimental behaviorâ and argued that the companyâs campaign donations âcast a pall on candidatesâ ethics.â
Porter McConnell has also publicly criticized the Senateâs confirmation of Justice Kavanaugh, which her father considers one of his greatest achievements. On Twitter, she accused Kavanaughâs supporters of misogyny, and retweeted a post from StandWithBlaseyFord, a Web site supporting Christine Blasey Ford, one of Kavanaughâs accusers. The husband of McConnellâs middle daughter, Claire, has also criticized Kavanaugh online, and McConnellâs eldest daughter, Eleanor, is a registered Democrat.
All three daughters declined to comment, as did their mother, Sherrill Redmon, whom McConnell divorced in 1980. After the marriage ended, Redmon, who holds a Ph.D. in philosophy, left Kentucky and took over a womenâs-history archive at Smith College, in Massachusetts, where she collaborated with Gloria Steinem on the Voices of Feminism Oral History Project. In an e-mail, Steinem told me that Redmon rarely spoke about McConnell, and noted, âDespite Sherrillâs devotion to recording all of womenâs lives, she didnât talk about the earlier part of her own.â Steinemâs understanding was that McConnellâs political views had once been different. âI can only imagine how painful it must be to marry and have children with a democratic Jekyll and see him turn into a corrupt and authoritarian Hyde,â she wrote. (Redmon is evidently working on a tell-all memoir.)
Yarmuth, who began as a Republican and worked in a statewide campaign alongside McConnell in 1968, said that McConnell had readily adapted to the Republican Partyâs rightward march: âHe never had any core principles. He just wants to be something. He doesnât want to do anything.â
For months, I searched for the larger principles or sense of purpose that animates McConnell. I travelled twice to Kentucky, observed him at a Trump rally in Lexington, and watched him preside over the impeachment trial in Washington. I interviewed dozens of people, some of whom love him and some of whom despise him. I read his autobiography, his speeches, and what others have written about him. Finally, someone who knows him very well told me, âGive up. You can look and look for something more in him, but it isnât there. I wish I could tell you that there is some secret thing that he really believes in, but he doesnât.â

It feels like that gets posted every day and a bunch of doom posts come after every time.

Some idiot drug runner, who himself is a runner from the real gangsters here is trying his hand at 5g, Steven Jamison is his name and he offering ÂŁ1,000 to anyone that burns a 5g towerâŚ
Hopefully Spain deports his ass back here⌠Some folks say.
My buddy said the 5g cel towers are supposed to be 80 and have been tested as high as 100. Regular cel phones are only .27!
Thatâs it. He has no idea what the units are or how the difference between putting your ear to a cel phone and putting your ear to a cel phone tower might be different. He just knows 80 ZOMG.

Iâm still not worried about people testing positive after testing negative. I think it means the tests suck and the testing methods have other problems. And since we know a lot of the tests suck and there are testing problems, it would be strange if we didnât see some level of this happening.
And I also donât believe in magic viruses.

I went to my dadâs to drop off bread today and drove mby a bank where there must have been a line of 50 cars for either the drive up ATM or the tellers. Any idea why this would be so as I havenât seen any lines like that at banks in at least a month? Maybe stimulus deposits hit and people need cash?
I donât even know what âopen upâ means in Trumps demented, stimulant filled pea brain. He has zero authority. Usually I can translate his idiocy pretty well but I donât even know what he thinks that means.

Iâm pretty blissfully ignorant, too, but I think it involves the 5G waves and mind control or something. Seems easy enough to modify it to activating/reactivating the virus.
If there is limited/no immunity and/or people can get it over and over again or it stays dormant and âre-activatesâ then weâre looking at supply chains collapsing until we get a vaccine.
The main difference between my quote and your link is the numbers have doubled in 5 days ;)
I think it was 51 or so rejuvinated at the last count
SK so not like they donât know what theyâre dealing with
