I would edit this to say "dictators lie when there's really bad news".
(yes this includes Jinping and Trump)
You're doing the equivalent of saying, "I hate you, therefore you are a Nazi!"
I'm no fan of Trump, but he's not a dictator.  Maybe he would like to be, but he's not.  Federal judges have been overturning his executive orders since the early days of his administration.

Dictators don't have to worry about stuff like that.
Jinping doesn't have to worry about stuff like that.
You undercut your legitimate points when you say stupid political stuff like Trump = dictator.

I actually want the media to lie when/if we do flatten the curve and our efforts pay off.  The minute people think "we did it!", they'll go back out into the world and it'll start back up again.
Do you believe in self-government or not?
You say Trump = dictator = bad, but then you say you hope the media will lie to us for our own good because we are too stupid to come in out of the raid without the government making us do it.

See?  This is a legit point.  Right on the money.
So why say all the crazy stuff that does nothing but undermine your own credibility?

I see the Golf courses of America are on the same page.  I received no fewer than five emails today from courses that I frequent laying out how they are handling tee times, replete with 'ten rules' for play, which included all the usual,  no handshaking, don't touch or remove the pin flags,  no rakes in the bunkers (use your feet),   use your own tee, nobody else's.   Riders will drive their own carts, if they run out of carts, you're to walk, no exceptions.  No sand bottles/or divot mix stations.    No on course bathrooms, water or food or beverage service of any kind.   I know one local course is putting the cup above the surface, the instruction is to putt the ball to make contact with the 'cup' but not to hole out.  (keep your filthy mitts from the cup!)

All tee times booked/paid on line, narrowed hours, off the course by Xpm.      When weather cooperates, these places will be jammed IMO.   They were mid week, till weather turned.

Iowa's salons, barber shops, . . . closed
Damn. I thought about getting a haircut Saturday on condition my barber wore an exam mask while I did so as well. He is rather conservative but I think he would have gone along with it, and probably worn it the remainder of the day, if I asked.

By Saturday a.m. mid-day, I thought, to play it really safe, I'll go back to my mid-to-late 1970s look. Then 6-weeks from now I will adopt a new look. I'll buy Brylcream, and comb it back like Trump and Calif. Gov. Gavin Newsome. However, I refuse to buy orange spray-on facial dye, and goggles. If I am still breathing, that's one line I won't cross.

I had already let my hair get pretty out of control before all this started.  Now, I don't consider my haircut to be "essential" so  I'll continue to led it grow.  (though I did venmo my hair gal my normal pay in advance because she could probably use it).

So for those who've seen me in person, I'm now very much starting to resemble full-on mullet 80s/90s John Stamos, rather than current/more recent clean cut John Stamos.

But the middle aged GenXer ladies are really digging me, so I got that going for me... which is nice.

Tongue-in-cheek.  
Interesting that I only said the media, but you link that with the government.  Our gov't under Trump has made it clear they're at war with each other, not one and the same.

If our President tries to mislead us, we have other avenues to ascertain reality.  I suspect in a true dictatorship those avenues are largely eliminated.

Silliness.  In A dictatorship the press is controlled by the dictator. Here in United States the press has been very liberal and extremely anti-Trump to the point of not even being honest.

They don’t even try to hide it.   

That’s why I ignore them now- nothing constructive or balanced/ just criticism.   As I said before that has worked against them and appears to be working against them now.  
Get your facts first, then you can distort them as you please.

I finished it last night.  Words escape me.  My wife would catch bits and pieces as she walked in and out of the room and finally asked me, “What on earth are you watching?”  Truly bizarre.
