Japan’s Economy Shrinks 6.3 Percent – Effects of Coronavirus coupled with a sales tax increase (dumb timing) is hurting Japan’s economy–big time.
Trump’s Top Trade Adviser Peter Navarro Has a Side Project: Secretly Hunting for ‘Anonymous’ – The search is on for the alleged insider who has been raising concerns about the president’s acumen and ineptitude, to say the very least.
Democrats join GOP in Virginia reject Gov. Northam’s assault weapon ban – Virginia tried passing an assault weapons ban, but it was–ahem–shot down when some Democrats crossed party lines to vote with the gun fascists. (That’s a joke. They’re gun fetishists.)
Jeff Bezos, The World’s Richest Man, Pledges $10 Billion To Fight Climate Change – He’s fucking up space with his rockets and stuff and just realized that “Earth is the one thing we all have in common.” (Actual quote.)

Happy Valentine’s Day!!!
Mark your calendars! March 3 is the big day. It’s “Super Tuesday” and you can bet a whole lot of media coverage will be taking place up to and through the first Tuesday in March.
Michael Bloomberg just finished a 2-day, 7 event, 3 state jaunt in preparation for it, as he wasn’t even on ballots in New Hampshire and Iowa.
Others are barnstorming the Super Tuesday states.
The honey moon is over between Boris Johnson and Donald Trump. Apparently, the two have been squabbling over “Iran, Huawei, and a rejected request by the prime minister to extradite the wife of a US diplomat.”
It all culminated in Trump slamming down the phone during their last phone call.
Now, Johnson canceled his planned trip to the US next month to visit the White House.
WOMP WOMP!
Your word of the day: Infodemic.
The World Health Organization (WHO) is urging tech companies to take tougher action to battle fake news on the coronavirus.
The push comes as a representative from the WHO traveled to Silicon Valley to speak directly to tech firms about the spread of false information.
The WHO has labelled the spread of fake news on the outbreak an “infodemic”.

- Hope Hicks is back at the White House:
- She works for President Trump out of Jared Kushner’s office.
- She says she missed the excitement of working for the president.
- Some say she came back due to Trump’s failing mental health.
- Others, like me, say she’s back because she no longer fears legal prosecution.
(…which leads to…)
- The Department of Justice is in disarray, but that’s part of the plan, I guess. Prosecutors in the Roger Stone case have resigned after AG Barr intervened on Stone’s sentencing, no doubt at Trump’s request (see Trump takes on Judge in Roger Stone case).
- John Kelly found his testicles: “Kelly laid out in the clearest terms yet, his misgivings with Trump’s words and actions regarding North Korea, illegal immigration, military discipline, Ukraine, and the news media.”
- Coronavirus update: Near 60,000 cases, Chinese government held back information. Who didn’t see that coming?
- “Dipping Sauce Rage Lands Woman in Jail”
- Need I say? This happened in Florida.

Today’s Top News: February 5, 2020
- President Trump gave his SOTU address last night, reporting that economy is good, stock markets are at all-time highs, and unemployment is at an all-time low.
- Speaker Pelosi tore up Trump’s speech. It would have been more newsworthy if she’d have done that before he gave it!
- Impeachment vote is today. Expect the President to be acquitted along party lines, give or take a Democrat or two.
- Iowa Democratic caucus: 70 percent of the data is in, which means they’re still missing 30 percent. So, to sum it up: It’s still a cluster fuck.
- I got put in Twitter jail for 7 days because I wished somebody would go to Hell when they died.
- Missing some mail? There’s a reason. A postal carrier in Virginia Beach, Virginia rented a storage unit and dumped about 5,000 pieces of mail in it that he couldn’t deliver. He planned to “get to it” when he had time.
- Finally, an ugly guy told his barber he’d kill her if she didn’t make him beautiful. Now he’s ugly and a liar and is probably going to prison.
- BREAKING: Mitt Romney cast a guilty vote in the impeachment of the first article (abuse of power). MIC DROP.
