As I sit here recovering from Covid-19, I see there is a debate on if we should or should not wish ‘resident Trump well.

Why not both?

Simply wish him well in his own words.

Now I don’t have the mental stamina — yet — to search the Interwebs for all examples of Trump downplaying the virus, but perhaps we can all crowdsource here to help in this endeavor. Then we can flood his Twitter, Facebook, and whatever corner of the Web his followers infest with ‘well wishes.’

Here’s a link of his highness, the earl of orange saying 34 times it will just go away. www.washingtonpost.com/…

Myself, I’m gonna tell Trump “Don’t worry, ‘It goes away, and it goes away quickly.’” All while chuckling at old chucklenuts Chump as I wait for the next episode of sudden fatigue and sleep to wash over me as I look forward to another night of fever/chills to keep me comfort that this too, soon will pass. I hope.

Banksters may get prosecuted yet

The U.S. Justice Department is looking into possible crimes by the 99%'s least favorite people: Banksters

NEW YORK (Reuters) - The Justice Department is conducting a criminal probe into whether the world's biggest banks manipulated a global benchmark rate that is at the heart of a wide range of loans and derivatives, from trillions of dollars of mortgages and bonds to interest rate swaps, a person familiar with the matter said.
While the Justice Department's inquiry into the setting of the London interbank offered rate, or Libor, was known, the criminal aspect of the probe was not.

...

The rate underpins $10 trillion in loans to consumers and companies and another $350 trillion in derivatives. In the derivatives market, Libor is used in the pricing of the massive and popular interest-rate swaps market, where two parties swap floating- and fixed-rate interest payments. Libor typically is used as the basis for the floating rate.

This is breaking news - and exclusive from Reuters.

I am no financial expert, but but the cynic in me would not be surprised if this case was the result of one group of ludicrously wealthy persons snitching on even more ludicrously rich persons. You don't think the Justice Department would actually be looking out for the little guy, do you?

Data miners are being sent out by the Great Orange Satan to collect the most personal data available, the Daily Kos community members' User IDs.

This pertinent information, hidden and only revealed by Those in the Know (TitK), can be of great use or great abuse by those in power.

I read with interest ydra's diaries from the past few days.

Being a resident myself in a Washington county that is all vote by mail and having recently changed my county of residence, of course I was curious if this was a systemic problem.

Well, having just received my ballot adressed to myfirtname M mylastname, I can assure you that yes, with a strong definitely maybe that there is trouble in The Evergreen State.

In the wake of 'Bittergate' and Sen. Clinton's recent transformation into someone Main St. USA could relate to, I am moved to post a diary.

Let's visit one of those Main Streets, OK? Specifically 1244 N. Main Street, Crown Point, Ind., the site of what some have called 'the shot heard 'round the world.'

Just when you thought Sen. Arlen Specter was a total creep, he come out with this:

http://topics.nytimes.com/...

From Reuters:
Senator Arlen Specter said he would challenge President Bush's practice of issuing "signing statements," through which he claims a right to ignore or not enforce sections of bills that he signs into law. Mr. Specter, Republican of Pennsylvania and chairman of the Judiciary Committee, said he would introduce legislation this week that would give Congress the right to bring a lawsuit against Mr. Bush's signing statements.

I saw this as a brief blurb on an AP wire feed early yesterday evening, but oddly no story was sent about it. Hmm.
