When Trump lies, someone dies

‪Two things.

One, every president is popular at the start of a crisis – even Carter was when Iran hostage crisis started. Then it gets bad.

Two, it will get very bad for Trump. The weeks he wasted with bullshit – which will result in Americans actually dying – will be what defeats him. ‬

In these dark days, if someone with power is lying, it means someone without power is dying.

Trump won’t be defeated by Joe Biden. He will be defeated by his own lies.


This is one of the scariest things you will ever read

Here.

I am posting it because I want you to send it to people who are not being careful. I want you to email it or text it to people who you know who are not practicing social distancing. I want you to put it on your social media so they will see it and read it.

But I don’t want you to go anywhere near them.


Mike Bezzeg, RIP

He was a legend in Calgary’s music scene and beyond. Gave the Hot Nasties one of our first big breaks, and featured us on his hit TV show, FM Moving Pictures.

He was killed in a car crash in Calgary this week, delivering food to a family who were in quarantine. That was the kind of guy he was. Kind and selfless and decent. You probably saw his comments on my Facebook page over the years, always encouraging me. We were supposed to get together this month so he could interview me for his new show, but the pandemic interfered.

My deepest condolences to his wife and his children, who he clearly loved very much. We will miss him always.


To the barricades, Comrade Spears!

We have nothing to lose but our, um, knee socks!

Britney Spears seemingly called for the redistribution of wealth and a general strike on Monday, “regramming” a post written by Instagram user Mimi Zhu. “During this time of isolation, we need connection now more than ever,” the text shared by Spears said, going on to describe how “we will learn to kiss and hold each other through the waves of the web. We will feed each other, redistribute wealth, strike. We will understand our own importance from the places we must stay.”

The “Work B—h” singer captioned the post by quoting the text’s penultimate line — “communion [moves] beyond walls” — and adding three emoji roses, a symbol commonly used by the Democratic Socialists of America.

“Queen of [the] proletariat,” cheered on one fan in the comments. Jeva Lange

Forward, to the victory of Communism! Go, Team!
