What's outraging you today?

Can someone actually wade through the daily shit without getting stuck in it?

Not sure what media to believe on this outbreak.  Its all political now and its stupid.  

Yeah, it's tough.

On one hand, you have virtually every medical and scientific professional.  On the other, you have that one wife's sister's friend who "sees through the media" when she's not calling herself an 'entrepreneur' for selling MLM beauty products.

Decisions, decisions.

To have that combination of stupid and outrage....I have to believe people like that are naturally miserable.  But even worse is she appears to be a principal.

Yikes. Defi itely a good idea to have taken that down.

What the F did they buy that was $34.59/lb? That's high end steak house prices and they cook it and serve other food with it.

This is the most underrated part about it.  She was trying to virtue signal to the world, while also buying meat that goes for $35-$50 a pound LMAO. 

Ouch, that lady should delete her twitter and her husband is also a moron.

i missed it all.

... suffering in terms of $35/lb meat.  I've had some great steaks in my day, but never one that was worth that much.  

The steaks I buy, which IMO is almost as good as any I've had in a restaurant, is [I think] aged angus choice filet mignon and goes for about $30 per lb...and definitely worth it.  Prime is a higher quality, but very hard to find probably unless you go to high-end butchers.

So a 6oz filet costs about $12, which is still a hell of a lot cheaper than going out.

I like how she apologized for being wrong, but not her behavior.  After all, she was just looking out for her fellow citizens - it's the thought that counts.

I’m on twitter all day, have not seen any of these comments. You’re the one saying only republicans watch CNN to rag on it. What kind of fucked up websites do you look at?

Any time I post on shitty media it is from blue checks with hundreds of thousands of followers.

Not seen any of them? I mean, the one about it being used as a conspiracy to bring down Trump only has been publicly said by big-name conservative commentators like Hannity and Limbaugh. Of course, now that Trump is taking it seriously, they've abruptly pivoted on their stances since they're only purpose is to blow him on the air, but initially, it was an overblown cold being blown out of proportion to hurt Trump.

OAN, the network that asked Trump the big softball question about the media siding with drug cartels and terrorists, ran an entire program about how the virus was from a lab in North Carolina.  That's the spirit of the Chinese government's story.

I don't watch or follow fox news. I had never even heard of OAN until that reporter asked Trump the stupid question about is Chinese food a racist term. I guess only following sports shit and then conservatives that I define as not crazy I wouldn't see it. It's probly the same reason I only see the liberal bullshit bc I follow conservatives who post about it, whereas Boogie is following his liberal people who post the crazy right wing crap.

Ah, so if you and Boogie joined forces, you could become one well-rounded person because you'd be calling out the crazies on both sides instead of mainly just the side each of you individually doesn't like!

Good idea.  Unfortunately for iclfan2, I'm already married.  But  if this quarantine ruins my marriage, maybe I'll give him a call.

Let me know.  I'll do the ceremony.  On the house, of course.

That's a deal. 

Would someone please tell Pelosi & Co. that their BS is as "wrong time, wrong place" as can be?  The country is in a bad way and needs help now. Idiots. 

One bill, one item. It should be one or two pages long. These fuggin' morons are playing political games in a time of actual crisis and it's disgusting.

Meanwhile, it Scotland.

The lesson is when you kill an armed intruder, you need to do it humanely. Maybe give the guy a chance to say some final words and then tell him "Each time I stab you, I will then pause and take your pulse. That way I will only stab you the absolute minimum number of times. Godspeed."

Jut think that the whole US is being held hostage by the people that vote in her district.  The whole Dem party is cowards and need to stand up and tell her NO.
