Vice President Mike Pence is not planning to enter self-quarantine after his press secretary tested positive for coronavirus on Friday and plans to be at the White House on Monday, a Pence spokesperson said on Sunday.

Of course he’s not. Chump surely isn’t going to allow his Vice Puppet and biggest cheerleader to suggest that the coronavirus pandemic needs to be taken seriously, especially when he’s ignoring the advice of his own CDC to prove his point. At this point, we can only hope that masses of republicans follow their lead while those of us with brains take the necessary precautions.

Jesus Christ. I mean, what on earth. He’s better than Trump when it comes to a lot of things — he’s more honest, less arrogant, less narcissistic, less vindictive, etc. — but he seems just as crazy (and he also isn’t squeaky clean when it comes to in appropriate sexual conduct). Let’s hope that Biden wins in November, and is self aware enough to realize that he needs to act as a figurehead while allowing a kickass cabinet to call the shots.

UPDATE: 5/1/20, 15:15;

It’s worth pointing out obvious biases when they occur, regardless of whether it’s the right or the left. It’s not often that Fox News is the best place to get information, but in this case, no other major news outlets covered it. Is this something that’s extremely impactful right now? No. But it’s still an absurd phrase to coin, especially when the wordsmith behind it is the presumptive Democratic nominee for president. This should’ve been covered by the liberal networks too, but it wasn’t.

*The Tara Reade accusations seem less than credible, but there’s still video of him rubbing and sniffing little girls.

Stephen Sorace, writing for Fox News:

The United States recorded 1 million coronavirus cases Tuesday, the first nation in the world to reach the grim milestone […]

The mounting infections across the U.S. come as the death toll exceeded 57,000, according to a tally by Johns Hopkins University.

Lucy Bayly, for NBC News:

The coronavirus pandemic has slammed into the economy so hard the nation's GDP has fallen by 4.8 percent, bringing the longest economic expansion on record to an abrupt halt. […]

It's the steepest decline since the Great Recession, which ended in 2009.

None of this is surprising, given how well our federal government has handled this. Can you even imagine what people would be saying about Obama if Swine Flu, Ebola, or Zika had infected and killed so many Americans, or had caused the economy to fall into a tailspin like the one we’re experiencing now? Especially given that the president didn’t take the steps recommended to him by health officials in the early days, forced all of the hard decisions on to the governors, and still hasn’t been able to produce results when it comes to significantly boosting our capacity to test for the virus; there would’ve been legitimate calls for impeachment.

Julie Pace and Hannah Fingerhut, reporting for The Associated Press:

Just 28% of Americans say they’re regularly getting information from Trump about the coronavirus and only 23% say they have high levels of trust in what the president is telling the public. Another 21% trust him a moderate amount. 

Confidence in Trump is higher among his supporters, though only about half of Republicans say they have a lot of trust in Trump’s information on the pandemic — and 22% say they have little or no trust in what he says about the COVID-19 outbreak.

This is not a good look for a president during an election year, but it’s also not encouraging for our prospects winning the fight against Coronavirus without a lot more death and economic pain, given that our leader inspires so little trust.

A header from one of McConnell’s recent press releases on was titled “On Stopping Blue State Bailouts”; the section went on the detail how Mitch McConnell was taking a “you made your bed, lie in it” approach to dealing with states with Democratic leaders, even though blue states are no more responsible for this pandemic than red states. In reality, what happened was our Commander in Cheeto lied to us at bedtime and tucked us in while assuring us everything was okay, despite the fact that many of us smelled the smoke issuing from the blaze in the other room (a blaze Trump was briefed on months ahead of time). McConnell’s notion that Democrats are responsible for dealing with this on their own in the states they lead is absurd. If the house burns down, we all go with it.

As things often do with Moscow Mitch, this boils down to shameless partisanship. This particular instance further illustrates how dangerously greedy McConnell is, and shows, yet again, that he is far more concerned with protecting the powerful elites of the Republican party than he is with protecting the citizens of this country, and he’s not above holding political grudges and using policy disagreements as a basis to sabotage relief efforts for states with Democratic leaders.

Here’s the thing though, just because a state has a Democratic governor doesn’t mean they have Democratic senators, and the Republican Party only holds control of the senate by three seats. If Mitch isn’t careful, he could cost some of his buddies their jobs, and ultimately lose his position as Majority Leader in the process, if not lose his own seat.

Fortunately, if you’re tired of Moscow Mitch, you can do something about it. There’s never been a better time, so I would encourage everyone to donate to Vote Save America’s “Get Mitch or Die Trying” fund, which funnels donations to the campaigns most well positioned to win seats away from the Republican Party and take away their Senate majority.

Here’s the thing:

Starting soon, employees of churches and other faith based, tax exempt organizations who have experienced lay offs and hour reductions as a result of COVID-19 will be eligible to receive unemployment benefits under the Pandemic Unemployment Assistance program included in the CARES Act (Congress’s $2T bill that included the $1,200 stimulus check and small business paycheck protection loans).

From The U.S. Department of Labor:

Depending on state law, covered individuals may also include clergy and those working for religious organizations who are not covered by regular unemployment compensation.

I’m not going to beat around the bush, this is unfair.

If someone were to theoretically refuse to pay in to social security for their whole life, and then expect the government to fund their retirement when they reach age 65, everyone would agree that’s unfair. People often label social security as a socialist program in the first place with massive solvency issues (technically true statements), but in a scenario such as the one described above, it’s not socialism, it’s a perversion of socialism and an outright slap in the face to free market capitalism. There is no individual scenario nor economic system where it’s fair to refuse to contribute to society and then demand that society gives you or the people who work for you a handout when times get tough, even exceptionally and unforeseeably so, as they have as a result of COVID-19. And make no mistake: this is a perverted socialist handout.

To employees of these organizations, I say this:

A hallmark of free market capitalism is that employers and employees negotiate their own contracts for pay and benefits. If you chose, whether out of ignorance and apathy or via an informed decision, to work for an organization who refuses to pay in to a social safety net program that could help you personally in the event that you come upon hard times, that’s your problem. In our current system (whether you agree with it or not) it’s your prerogative to negotiate for the benefits you may need, whether that’s unemployment insurance, health insurance, retirement packages, or otherwise.

To the employers, I say this:

Separation of church and state is a two way street; if you want to register your faith based organization as a nonprofit so that you can play by a different set of rules and avoid taxes, so be it, but don’t expect to reap the benefits of the tax dollars that every other small business has to contribute. I don’t care if your organization’s income is based on tithing and therefore allegedly unpredictable, nor do I care about any of the other excuses that may be offered. If your organization wants to operate in this economy and not pay taxes, your management had better be good enough to keep the organization afloat when hard times hit, because when you scream about separation of church and state, you cut the safety net out from under yourself.

Looking Forward

At the end of the day, do I think we ought to just leave the people who will benefit from the PUA program to suffer? No, I don’t, because that’s not the right thing to do. Even though, if we didn’t bail them out, they’d blame Nancy Pelosi until the end of time and blabber on incessantly about the “persecution” of Christians.*

Politics is often a tit for tat game these days, and kicking people while they’re down as opposed to offering them a hand will do a lot less to bring our country back together. However, I think people who are going to receive these benefits owe it to the rest of society to accept them with a bit of humility, understand why special rules had to be put in place to accommodate them, and be a little more careful to vet the organizations they go to work for in the future. I’ll be far less sympathetic the next time something like this happens if they do nothing this time to show their appreciation or prevent themselves from ending up in this predicament again.

*Christians obviously make up the largest faith community in the United States, but let’s be clear, my opinions apply to faith based organizations of any creed, whether they fall under the umbrella of Christianity, Judaism, Islam, or anything else.

A massive upset. Reid Epstein, reporting for The New York Times:

The victory, by upward of 120,000 votes as of Monday night, came as a shock to Republicans and Democrats alike in Wisconsin, where the most recent contests for president, governor and the state’s high court have each been decided by about 30,000 votes or less.

We could spend a lot of time analyzing the politics of this outcome and what it may mean for the general election in November, as well as who the more deserving candidate was based on personal ideology. But if we take the political parties out of it, one thing we should be able to agree on is this: any true American patriot ought to love seeing an underdog story in which the will of the people triumphs over attempted voter suppression by corrupt, powerful elites.

The writing has been on the wall that Bernie’s campaign was coming to an end for about a month now; since the COVID-19 pandemic began ramping up in the United States, the primary season was more or less over. And today, Bernie Sanders ended his campaign to be the Democratic Party’s nominee for president. Now, Joe Biden is the only Democrat still running for the party’s nomination, so it’s all but guaranteed that he will be the candidate facing off against Trump in November.

I think this is for the best. As it stands, I’m not much of a Biden fan, but I think he represents less of a harm to our democracy than a Sanders presidency would. I don’t say this because Bernie branded himself as a Democratic Socialist — I actually think some of his ideas that have been branded as “socialist” are deeply American — this is a good opportunity to put preconceptions aside and evaluate someone based on their ideas rather than their labels. I felt like his candidacy was a threat to democracy because of he followers. His followers hailed him as a political diety who could do no wrong, they had a tendency to behave like outright fascists in their unrelenting defense of Sanders and unprovoked attacks on anyone who asked innocent questions about the logistics of their platform, and they maintained an aggressive intolerance for opinions that didn’t align perfectly with theirs (see: Deontologists vs. Consequentialists). Fascism does not belong to the far right, and the Bernie Bros were proof of that.

Distrubingly, many of Bernie’s supporters placed Bernie on such a high platform that they were not necessarily willing to vote for another democratic candidate should Bernie not secure the nomination. Given this, Biden will have to move a little more to the left to bring some of Bernie’s followers into his campaign (though he’ll have to be careful as to not alienate some of his most moderate supporters by moving too far to the left too quickly), and lot of people have said that combatting climate change is an issue where Biden could afford to adopt some more progressive policies to help encourage the Bernie Bros to join his campaign. I digress: there will be plenty more punditry to come in the following months.

All in all, Bernie has done a lot over the course of his career to move the political conversation in the United States to the left, and he should be proud of the way he has been able to bring some elements of his platform that were once considered radical into the mainstream. Even if he won’t be the president to enact the changes he’s fought for, he has still been instrumental in bringing them to fruition.

I’m a few days ahead of the news cycle on this one, but this might be the most predictable story of the year.

If you’re not sure what’s going on, let me tell you. Today, Wisconsin held an election (on the ballot were candidates for the Democratic Party’s presidential nomination as well as candidates for Chief Justice of the Wisconsin Supreme Court), despite the fact that voting involves large crowds of people in close proximity and touching the same items, at a time when the CDC is urging citizens to do the exact opposite. Note that most poll workers are old, and therefore at greater risk of serious illness if they were to become infected with COVID-19. Additionally, many polling places in Wisconsin were closed due to the Coronavirus, forcing hoards of Wisconsinites to wait in hourslong lines at the few polling places that remained open (for example, Milwaukee had five polling locations open, while they were supposed to have had 180). It is a dangerous convergence of poor decisions, human vulnerabilities, and unyielding circumstances; or as Wisconsin Lieutenant Governor Mandela Barnes called it, a shit show.

The Governor of Wisconsin, Tony Evers, tried to postpone the election until June to give the pandemic time to subside a bit, but the Republican-held Wisconsin Supreme Court ruled his executive action unconstitutional. Efforts to pivot from in-person voting to vote-by-mail were also unsuccessful, halted by Republicans who feared that more people voting would result in them losing more races (if that’s the position your party is in, it may be time to reevaluate your platform). Voter suppression is alive and well. For more details on the Wisconsin Republicans’ motivation for suppressing voter turnout in this election, check out this article from The New York Times.

Forcing Americans to chose between their health and voting is an insult to Democracy, and the unpatriotic Republicans who put Wisconsinites in that predicament should be ashamed.

Tom Porter, writing for Business Insider:

President Donald Trump spent the early phase of the coronavirus outbreak in the US downplaying its likely impact

This is, of course, despite having received multiple reports from our intelligence agencies indicating that COVID-19 could become a disastrous pandemic if not handled properly.

In a press conference on Sunday, Trump sought to set new parameters for what would constitute a successful handling of the virus, saying that 100,000 or fewer deaths in the US would constitute a "very good job."

About a month ago, on February 26, he predicted that in a matter of days the total number of coronavirus cases in the US would be "close to zero." Instead, the US now has the most confirmed cases of any nation.

When you suck at your own game, just change the rules. As of today, more people have died from COVID-19 than the attacks on 9/11.

Unfortunately, the only game Trump really cares about is the rating game.

Monica Black, writing for The Sewanee Review:

But the reality is that sometimes what matters—and what really moves the wheels of history, as Mussolini might have put it—is what you can make out of the facts. Sometimes myths are much more compelling than humble, modest truths. In that sense, it did not matter much whether the Reichstag fire was set by a young communist who opposed the Nazis, or if that’s merely what they said happened. What mattered was the chain of events that flowed from the fire, and what the Nazis made of those events. What mattered was how the facts were interpreted and put to work.

By the way, just yesterday, one of our illustrious Tennessee state senators, Frank Niceley—who in 2013 addressed the Southern National Congress, which the Southern Poverty Law Center says is an offshoot of the neo-Confederate hate group League of the South—posted this question to Twitter: “isn’t it a #Fact that #COVID-19 originated in #China?”

Dr. Black is an Associate Professor of History at The University of Tennessee, and she also happened to be my thesis advisor. Additionally, I had the pleasure of taking her course “Medicine in The Third Reich”, during which I was consistently delighted by her thought provoking lectures which always provided a historical lens useful to interpret the present, and were somehow always intriguingly relevant to current events while following an established syllabus.

Her remarks here are also very thought provoking, and we would do well to heed the warning: in times of uncertainty and crisis, we need to be questioning the “facts”, but we also need to be paying attention to how certain facts may be deployed to bolster agendas.

Sure, the coronavirus started in China. That is a fact. But does this fact help us slow its spread, stabilize the economy, or help the sick recover? No. Is it consistent with Donald Trump’s (and his pals’) nationalistic tendency to deflect blame for the United States’s shortcomings by painting them as foreign threats? Certainly. If you’d like an example, look no farther than the wall Trump promised (and failed) to build as a silver bullet measure to solve our broken immigration system and bring back “stolen” jobs.

Kevin Stankiewicz, reporting for CNBC:

Painter, who has previously been critical of Trump, said he felt the decision to label the “critically important health advisory” as being Trump’s guidelines was “unwise.”

“Half the Country likes him; half the Country does not. But disease knows no party. Don’t we want all Americans to read the message that is mailed to them at substantial cost to the government?” said Painter, who added he felt the postcard was meant to serve Trump’s bid for reelection. 

White House Spokesman Judd Deere rejected the notion that the postcard was at all political. 

“The President has said he has no higher priority than the health and safety of the American people,” Deere wrote in an email. “It’s ridiculous to suggest that in the middle of a global pandemic the White House’s efforts to get critical information to the American people to slow the spread of COVID-19 is somehow political.”

I definitely perceived this as politically charged when I got it in the mail. In fact, I actually thought it was so on brand with Trump’s usual narcissism that I actually flipped it over to find the part where it said “Paid For By Donald J. Trump For President” or “Paid For By The Republican National Committee”, but alas, these mailers were sent out on the taxpayers’ dime.

The branding turned me off pretty much immediately, so I didn’t actually read what it said about the virus itself. So well done, White House: half the people you sent this to won’t read it because they’re immediately turned off by the glorification of Trump, and the other half probably can’t read anyway.

Governments are considering tracking citizens locations as a way to monitor the spread of coronavirus and enforce quarantines and lockdowns.

My thoughts are as follows: fuck that. This will be the new Patriot Act. The world is quickly becoming an episode of Black Mirror.

Israel is doing it. Fuck them.

The Israeli government has approved emergency measures for its security agencies to track the mobile-phone data of people with suspected coronavirus.

The new powers will be used to enforce quarantine and warn those who may have come into contact with infected people.

Absolutely atrocious. If Israel ever had a brain, they’ve lost it.

Unfortunately, the United States isn’t very far behind. Terrifyingly enough, this is an idea I’ve heard reverberating a bit in recent days, both on a podcast I usually enjoy (Crooked Media’s Pod Save America*) as well as a blog I stumbled across. I never expected to see the day where American government leaders would be calling for a mass surveillance system, much less American citizens themselves asking for it.

If the U.S. government allows this to happen, then fuck them, too. I‘ll stop carrying a phone before I just go along with something like this, pandemic or not. This is deeply un-American.

Elizabeth Warren announced today that she is ending her campaign for the presidency. After Buttigieg dropped out, Warren became my top pick. I felt like she was the last truly good candidate with a shot at the nomination, but her performance on Super Tuesday did not yield results that would allow her to practically remain in the race.

I really liked some of Warren’s policies, and felt like she was an incredible alternative to Bernie Sanders. She had similar ideas but she was remarkably more relatable, and she ran a much more respectable campaign. A lot of people are assuming that Warren’s supporters will flock to Bernie’s campaign now, but given how poorly they were treated by Bernie Stans online, I wouldn’t count on that. Similar policies likely won’t be enough to make up for completely opposite approaches to how you should treat people with whom you have slight disagreements; Warren’s team was warm, engaging, and welcoming, while Bernie’s was militant, aggressive, and off putting.

At this point, we’re down to a decision between a rock and a hard place, and we have a collection of selfish democrats to thank. Fortunately, Tulsi Gabbard has not caved to the pressure, but her path to the White House seems nearly impossible, despite the fact that she’s garnering impressive support from moderate republicans and independents who are feeling let down by Trump. She’s a hell of a lot better than Biden or Sanders, so at this point, CopyrightBro is endorsing Tulsi Gabbard.

To my dismay, Pete Buttigieg surprised supporters on Sunday by announcing that he was ending his campaign for the presidency. Pete’s exit was surprising given that he won the Iowa caucuses and was seen as one of the strongest moderate candidates in the field who enjoyed notable support from independents and moderate republicans.

I personally supported Pete’s campaign, and hoped to see him win the nomination. Unfortunately, he was robbed of the attention usually paid to the winner of that contest due to the absolute fumble by the Iowa Democratic Party in reporting the results, and this cost him a lot of name recognition which could’ve carried him to more impressive delegate hauls in Nevada and South Carolina, where his performance was less than impressive due to his lack of support among black and latino voters, who seemed more comfortable supporting candidates with more name recognition, like Joe Biden and Bernie Sanders. I found it peculiar that Pete decided to drop out when he did, even given his shallow support in Nevada and South Carolina, he still seemed as well positioned as any other candidate to do well on Super Tuesday. He had lasting momentum, something Klobuchar, Biden, and Bloomberg did not. I’m curious if Pete decided to take one for the team in hopes of being offered a VP spot, if his campaign lacked funding to remain competitive, or if unseen actors influenced his decision through some sort of bribery or coercion.

Pete was the internet’s favorite candidate to pick on, with relentless attacks being lobbed (primarily by Bernie Sanders’ supporters) attacking him for a myriad of non-issues. I could spend weeks debunking all their bogus criticisms, but instead I’d like to address just one. It was a common trope that Pete “wasn't gay enough” to be the first gay president. This is an absolutely appalling argument, especially from people who claim to be progressive and woke. If Pete’s sexuality is relevant to his capability to successfully execute the responsibilties of the president, then saying he’s “not gay enough” is just making it okay for people to say that he’s “too gay”. Those who made this criticism were clearly projecting their own shortcomings; a lot of gays can’t relate to someone who is comfortable enough with themselves to the degree that they’re able to allow their sexuality not to be the orienting aspect of their entire personality, and therefore those people perceived Pete’s lack of reliance upon his sexuality as something that makes him disingenuous. Shame on them, and how dare they now remark on the historical nature of a campaign they tried to sabotage with bush league personal criticisms.

As someone pointed out, Pete could run in every election between now and 2060 before reaching Bernie’s age, so a Buttigieg presidency is certainly not off the table yet.

This is the most discouraging and disappointing Super Tuesday of my life, and it may very well hold that title for decades time to come. The democratic field started off very crowded, but there truly were good options. Now, the democratic establishment has finally moved to narrow the field, a task completed with remarkable haste. In the course of a weekend, three moderate candidates dropped from the race to clear the way for Joe Biden to challenge Bernie Sanders for the nomination, while Mike Bloomberg looms in the wings as a wild card. At this point, Elizabeth Warren and Tulsi Gabbard are the only candidates remaining who are worth endorsing. Despite numerous, well funded attempts, neither of these women have allowed the establishment to force them out of the race. While Gabbard is a great candidate she’s unlikely to attain viability in any state. In the wake of Pete Buttigieg’s exit from the race, CopyrightBro is proud to endorse Elizabeth Warren. We strongly encourage readers to vote for Liz and donate to her campaign.

Aside from Warren, the Democratic Party has three viable options, all of whom are straight white men who are either 77 or 78 years old. They consist of:

1. Joe Biden, a career politician who’s waning mental faculties hardly permit him to formulate a coherent sentence, and who has a well documented history of touching and sniffing young girls inappropriately.

2. Bernie Sanders, a self proclaimed socialist whose militant followers are fascistic in their unwavering support and willingness to attack anyone who presents a dissenting opinion.

3. Mike Bloomberg, a billionaire with a track record of imposing blatantly racist policies who admitted on live TV during the most recent debate that he had “bought” congressional seats, and clearly thinks he can buy the presidency just as easily.

The stakes of this election are high, not only for democrats, but for everybody. The Democrats have a massive responsibility as the only political machine capable of saving ALL of America from Donald Trump and delivering a new vision for our country, and it’s a responsibility they’re almost entirely disregarding.

Elizabeth Warren is the best option we have to defeat Donald Trump and replace him with someone who won’t either tear the country apart or take us back to the politics of Y2K. So, special thanks to the Democratic Party for scrubbing the field to get rid of anyone whom they don’t have a long history of control over, but also thanks to the narrow-minded Bernie stans who have worked tirelessly to ensure that their demagogue has his fair chance to shred the good will of the American people, too. So again, thanks, Democrats, for all but wasting this opportunity.
