Just a reminder to one and all. I do not identify my college affiliation because I am not an official spokesman for the college. My tweets--mistakes and all--are mine. Any threats to me or my college are out of bounds.

@e_whittler I predict Trump and co. will flee. Israel perhaps? I don't think Russia or the Arab world. The Turkish coast? Someplace that would allow him access to the press and wouldn't care how dumb he is.

[Thomas Hartman @ThomasH1945]

@RavenLeilani I am so sorry for your loss.

[Thomas Hartman @ThomasH1945]

@Campbellscampbe @geewheezie @mortgageconsult No brains to fry.

@mortgageconsult Yes. And now Jared is in charge.

I have been out of the loop for a while. I had small (huge was my wife's word) problem. I had a slight (massive was the doctor's word) infection. Which resulted in a (four was my wife's word) seizure. I was unconscious for a short time (again, 1 week was the doctor's word) and

hospitalized for the past month. The infection was NOT Covid-19 nor encephalitis. Doctors, physical, occupational, & speech therapists agree that there was no permanent damage & I will make a full recovery.

To those who wondered where I went, there you have it. To those who

has been worse than abysmal.

[Thomas Hartman @ThomasH1945]

This is not "without precedent". 1918 pandemic, aka Spanish flu, resulted in perhaps 50 million worldwide deaths. It was made worse by the mobilization of troops for WW I. Troops were concentrated for training, transshipment, and assignment to the trenches. The trenches were

filthy. The troops were shelled & gassed, which sent them to hospitals where they were concentrated again--this time in a weakened condition.

The response of our medical & military professionals to the present crisis has been--well, professional. The response of Fox & the gop

@Fired_Soon It's part of informal military lingo. It starts with SNAFU (situation normal: all f*cked up) and ends with FUBAR (f*cked up beyond all recognition). So, it's not modern "hip" lingo. It comes from WWII. JANFU=joint army navy f*ck up. FUBU=f*cked up beyond understanding.

The purpose of life is to be happy. This is what all human beings have in common—the wish to lead a happy life. Many think that happiness is to be found outside us in material things, but actually it’s something that comes from within, from warm-heartedness and concern for others

@kittybellcat @CyrusMMcQueen The time has come and gone. America is lost. Death's too good for the gop.
