We declared a state of emergency 3 times in less than 6 months. That's gotta be a record somewhere

There is something calming about seeing a state of emergency being declared for a more normal reason like a tropical storm.

Y'all don't call the police for help now.

We're still not even halfway through the year. I'm pretty 2020 can fit in a few hurricanes, tornados, earthquakes, tsunami's and maybe cthulhu if there's time.

The good news, no protests! No looting! No beating of innocent people by mobs.

[ljb]

And now you will see people needing cops to save them, help them and the cops should say no. They want to blame all of us for a few bad ones. so You are on your own.

Me: 2020 can't get any worse
