The IRS is giving you a 90 day extension if you have to pay taxes.

I don’t trust the sumbitches in charge.  Mnuchin seems real good at taking other peoples’ money.

The deadline extension, announced Tuesday, is an effort to immediately free up household money. The COVID-19 pandemic is forcing people inside to “socially distance” themselves to slow the spread, and that’s cutting down cash flow for businesses and workers.

See, I’m thinking they’re hoping that instead of saving that money for 90 days, you’ll use it to fix up your house so come mid-July they’ll just come take your house when you ain’t got the money.  That’s how much I don’t trust these guys.

And then on the upside of the downside …

The stock market’s latest dip Wednesday did more than wipe out billions of dollars in investor equity. It also obliterated President Donald Trump’s favorite measure of his economic success.

But he still gives himself a ten!

So what if Trump really is the anti-Christ?

We got plagues and now earthquakes.

A 5.7 magnitude earthquake shook Utah’s Salt Lake City area Wednesday morning, cutting power to tens of thousands and suspending work at the state’s public health lab amid the coronavirus pandemic, officials said.

Heads up if you see locust or some guys on white horses.

While we were all watching coverage of the Coronavirus and preparing for the onslaught, Trump’s justice department was moving to drop charges against Russian backed companies indicted by Mueller for financing Russian interference in the 2016 election.  Yes, that is really happening.

If you have ANY doubts that the Coronavirus pandemic is “not that bad”, or even “a hoax”, read this dispatch from northern Italy.  If it doesn’t send chills down your spine, you’re not paying attention.

As if he didn’t have anything better to do, Trump has started restricting Chinese press in it’s access and reporting in the US. In retaliation, China has expelled the NY Times, Washington Post, and the Wall Street Journal.  So.  Here we are in the middle of a global pandemic where the press is THE most important outlet for information, so what does Trump do?  Start a pissing contest with the largest country in the world.  Jesus.

The Kaiser Health Foundation has done some polling on how Coronavirus has impacted American lives.  You’ll find it interesting overall, but of course the part that interested me the most was the difference between how Democrats and Republicans are reacting.

Republicans aren’t particularly worried about themselves or their family members getting the virus.  I guess because of that Magic Jesus Thing they have.

They also aren’t much worried about the economy, probably because of that Magic Trump Thing.

Most of them think they wouldn’t have any problem being tested for the virus (while we were in the middle of the big bad missing test kits).

Democrats – pretty much the opposite.

You’ll  find it interesting. You have to go about half way down to get to the political stuff.

Thanks to Henry for the heads up.
