Fox News and its ilk get new young viewers all the time. Thinking they will just die off is erroneous and dangerousWhat's sad is that there is probably some legitimate criticisms about the way this played out (although I think there was no possibility of a peaceful or any form of non-chaotic exit strategy), but they've cried wolf so many times over illigitimate shit like birth certificates, tan suits, misuse of the term "socialism," "communism," and "facism," etc., etc., that nothing they can say has any meaning. They don't give a single shit about Afghanis, just something to criticize "the left" about. And even if some of them have legitimate care or concerns, you lost your credibility over the last several years. Fuck off and keep poisoning your base. The tide is going to shift soon when the fox news crowd starts dying off in droves from old age.

Yeah they prolly should have grabbed Koresh at Walmart...We have been through this many times in other contexts. I think they can largely suss that out beforehand. Grab him in the car. Grab him in the front yard on the way to the car. Lots of options. Coming at 6AM doesn't guarantee safety if the subject is a methhead that's been up all night tooting or shooting.
Whether the subject will come out guns blazing may vary. The FBI coming at 6AM with a battering ram never varies.
Search and arrest tactics here leave a lot to be desired. -
Except these ghouls are fully vaccinated, have kids in schools with strict mask requirements and contact tracing, world class insurance and plenty of money.Okay, on the whole Abbott "kill kids". Abbott and the Republicans are guilty of absolutely moronic ideas regarding liberty, the Constitution, and masking. But ultimately, I think they'd justify their approach along the lines of how parents are allowed to keep guns in the house, or travel with their kids in cars, or take their kids out on the boat, or the myriad of other activities where government does not prohibit parents from accepting risk on behalf of their children.
I think the above is the most fucked up logic in the world, but warped though it be, given Abbott's argument that he's not prohibiting anyone from wearing a mask, I think it does make the "he wants to kill kids" to win reelection a bit much.
Irresponsible, a dereliction of duty, etc.? Sure.
The ethos is solely winning reelection. A narcissist in Washington didn't want to wear mask so that's now an issue. Those in power wanted a strong economy to run on for reelection so "no lock downs no matter what was a thing." These people could have been coerced to do a lot better. If these clowns in charge were really the tough guys they claim to be they could have modeled wearing mask as tough and badass. Wear some modified bandana, "mask up for Texas, Texas masks, Texas tough."
They are weak ass , selfish frauds.-

Or the rest of the world dies off over the next 3 years then you guys get all our shit.here is NZ trying to do it right? or is that wrong?
https://edition.cnn.com/2021/08/17/asia/new-zealand-lockdown-one-case-intl-hnk/index.html
we fucking science fair experiments down here. not gettnig vaccinated, not getting any herd immunity, just time capsules. when we ever decide to reenter the world we will die when the wind blows the wrong way -
So you are cool with 10k of Muslims moving here as asylum seekers. I thought that was your fear....
These guys are fish in a barrel, and our only hope is if the taliban aren’t going to harm any western civilians only to get leveled from the sky if they so choose to. Someone needs to drag Biden out of camp David that fucking chode.
your posting says you are dumb af -
He may be right thoYour endorsement is meaningless to me. -
we could have easily unfucked central america.Yup. I was an econ major and still work somewhat in the field and study it often. I just can't get over the opportunity costs. What could we have done the last 20 years with all that money? We could have saved countless lives with simple disease and hunger initiatives without needing bombs or other war machines. Afghanistan has been a lost cause since the 70s, at least. There are horrible situations going on everywhere. Afghan people will suffer. So are Uighur Muslims in China, and countless people in Africa. We can't solve all problems worldwide. If we're gonna spend that kind of money for humanitarian efforts, lets focus on food, medicine, clothing, housing, education, etc., the things that can actually help third-world countries without war.
Edit to add that one thing we can do to help the Afghan situation, and others worldwide, is wide and robust refugee program for people to settle in the US. Make the burdens minimal. The only thing I care about is ensuring that we stop people from entering with bad intentions, and that number can be higher than zero if it helps the vast majority of people who need refuge. -

no one ever said 60% Vax rate would get us to heard immunity even before Delta. A lot of the narrative with Isreal is twisted horseshit.you aren't allowed to mention Israel...-

And give time for Therapeutics to be developed.Yup. There is zero chance we were ever going to "beat it" because as is abundantly clear, breakthrough infections are occurring in large numbers. This will be endemic, it will live with us forever, and that was the inevitable outcome the moment the virus escaped its place of origin. It's just too transmissible.
What we CAN do through vaccination, is limit the severity and keep more people out of the hospitals and keep the death count down.
People keep approaching this as an all or nothing debate. It's not. Things were never fully shut down nor were people going to voluntarily go wide open. As things open up cases go up, hospitals fill up and Some people go back to distancing and masks mandate or not. We've learned a lot. Planes appear to be less risky than we thought, bars are no bueno.
Unfortunately many people just don't do nuance. "my brother wore and mask and got it, so mask don't work, in fact they infect." "vaccines aren't 100% effective so they are worthless". "They said it barely affected kids, now it do, what's a variant??"
We are fucking the same chicken 18 months later.
We should be hitting this with every tool we can and we are not. We should be running PSAs, targeting communities of color, utilizing faith groups etc. Allowing virtual learning when outbreaks happen.
Instead we are politicizing non political things like masks and vaccines. Two years ago 40 % of the country was not refusing to submit proof of vaccinations to get kids in school. Shit is really going off the rails here.

Thats on the other arm with other bullshit dates right under a portrait of his favorite AR.Wasn’t the 4th of July also a date of reinstatement/revelation also? -
What if he's Zivi Nedivi and we come in hot but ultimately safe?If y'all want to know why we are completely and utterly fucked, understand that a healthy chunk of the anti-vax, anti-mask crowd shares this kind of thinking:
These people are among us. The majority political party in the entire southern US panders to them completely.
We are an aircraft that had a wing completely fall off. I don't care if our pilot is the love child of Sully and Chuck Yeager, you don't recover from that.

I got into a big fight with my old man on the eve of this bullshit. I predicted a decades long quagmire with our ultimate defeat at the end. I was only wrong about our body count - it being much lower. I expected a faster bloodier initial fight. The rest of the guerilla IED shit was to be excepted. And that part pisses me off, so many just blown up for what...What I don't understand is how anyone with any say over the situation is at all surprised by both the results and the speed of those results.
I'm an amateur nobody, who has simply paid attention to the situation on the ground from a moderately educated perspective, and who has read a tiny bit of history (both recent and old). This was always what was going to happen.
Ruined lives. Fuck.-

What a shit show the TEA and Abbot created.
No virtual option allowed. If you don't show up the first week in person, they drop you.
Even better, if you are exposed and symptomatic and have to quarantine for 10 days there is no way to make up in person portion of instruction.-

grossGenerally not a fan but I appreciate him being the adult in the room. MTG would’ve had a full body O working those people into an election fraud frenzy before sending them to her website to donate. -
They should be tested, and that needs to change. However, this is fear mongering considering how many busloads and planeloads of untested, likely unvaxxed enter the city daily from equal or hotter zones for covid. No one is testing fucktards returning from Floribama
However we should not be contributing to the narrative of blaming brown people.

In my experience working as a poll watcher, GOP volunteers coordinate and tally the number of voters in a log book, working in shifts. Its wholly inaccurate and they do not account for people who get turned away, nor the votes that come through during bathroom breaks. They spend very little time observing issues or problem solving so people can figure out a way to vote. Mean mugging sans mask with the tally logbook is about it. And they follow the sheriff to drop off the ballot box.asshole "poll watchers" that were just mentioned:

I'm sure that shits only going to get worse.
I'm surprised these logbooks didn't pop up as evidence of fraud somewhere the last cycle, perhaps because of the favorable results in Texas.

I get that TEA is driving that bus but you won't think having classes recorded would be a good idea even in normal times so kids are less likely to punished academically for staying home when ill.
