Where’s the bodies stacked like cordwood?
Also looks like our resident nationalist, who tolerates

Governors who ordered shutdowns as their states responded to the coronavirus pandemic were among millions of beneficiaries of the loan program created to help small businesses weather COVID-19's effect on the economy, data released Monday show.
The governors of at least seven states have ties to companies that received loans through the Small Business Administration’s Paycheck Protection Program. Both Republicans and Democrats, their associated companies' loans ranged from $150,000 to more than $11 million.
Governors have played a leading role in the U.S. response to the deadly coronavirus pandemic, issuing orders that shut down businesses and schools, established guidelines on masks and social distancing and shuttered residents in their homes.
Their businesses were able to successfully navigate a system that many Main Street businesses had trouble getting through before funding for the program's first round of loans dried up.
Governors' successful efforts to tap the loan program came, in some cases, as they faced pushback against the economic effects of their virus policies. The Republican DeWine, for example, has been rebuked by some local party officials and targeted in Statehouse protests for going too far in his response.
He is a part-owner of DeWine Seeds-Silver Dollar Baseball, which received a loan listed between $150,000 and $350,000. The company owns the Asheville Tourists, a minor league baseball team in North Carolina, which was purchased by the governor’s family in 2010.
Waterville Valley Holdings, an investment group led by the family of Sununu, a Republican, got a loan of between $350,000 and $1 million. At least five other New Hampshire ski areas or the resort properties associated with Sununu got loans of at least $150,000.
A New York-based communications company with a stake held by New Jersey Gov. Phil Murphy, a Democrat, got a loan of $350,000 to $1 million.
PlumpJack Management Group LLC, Democrat governor Gavin Newsom'swinery and hospitality company, received a loan worth $150,000 to $350,000.
In West Virginia, Justice’s family companies received at least $11.1 million from the federal relief program.
Justice, a Republican, is considered to be West Virginia’s richest man through ownership of dozens of coal and agricultural businesses, many of which have been sued for unpaid debts. At least six Justice family entities received the Paycheck Protection Program loans, including the governor’s lavish resort The Greenbrier, as well as The Greenbrier Sporting Club, an exclusive members-only club linked to the resort.
Payments to Justice companies could be as high as $24.3 million, because the federal government disclosed the dollar figures in ranges, not specific amounts.
Infanticide Northam, Democrat Governor of Virginia's former medical practice, which he owns a stake in, received a loan of between $2 million to $5 million.
A commercial real estate brokerage firm started by Maryland's Hogan also received a loan of between $150,000 and $350,000.
