    I thought I saw somewhere that there were around 60k additional deaths this year in addition to those we know died from Covid
  2. lemonlime
    Yeah, because Mr. "the suburbs are being invaded" and RIOTS!!!!!! is concerned about panic. From masks.

    Oh, and the USPS, sent out this mailer in NJ which contains false information about voting in NJ this fall.

    Agreed absentee ballots are a way to vote by mail. But trump is trying to make a hash of the NJ election. In the past, the only way to vote by mail was to request an absentee ballot. The vast majority of voters in NJ voted in person. This year, for the first time, NJ is mailing ballots to all registered voters, and if you show up in person, you can only vote by provisional ballot. There is already a lot of concern and confusion about how this will work, compounded by the USPS problems. And now trump has filed this nonsense suit, with ballots about to be mailed out.

    Other than absentee ballots, no, NJ has not had vote by mail. But this year because of Covid the governor ordered that a ballot be mailed to all registered voters and that if you show up to vote in person, you will get a provisional ballot. But trump is clearly just trying to confuse issues and make voting a mess in NJ. He filed the suit in the ordinary course, rather than as an emergent matter, making timing issues with the election 50 days away and ballots about to be mailed out, even worse.

    I doubt it. But I don't think there've been any polls in DE. Maybe this went better in the Republican Party thread, because WTF.

    But the dems are the extremists.
  8. lemonlime
    Yeah, except their actual hope is to make people who have done worse suffer, to feel better about themselves. See how they cheer on immigrant detention, child separation, the Muslim ban, killing protestors, etc. While tax breaks are going to billionaires.

    Well, considering the sky on the east coast without a cloud in it, is a hazy mess, due to smoke from the west coast, but he apparently think that's caused by a failure to rake, who the fuck knows.

    Regardless, I guarantee you that there is lots of abuse of immigrants in these facilities. This is, hopefully, and if true, the most egregious of the abuses. But given the utter lack of oversight and the vulnerable population with little access to attorneys and with no family to intervene, the trump administration has set the stage for abuse after abuse.

    It’s not that I think there’s a conspiracy like Mengele. But I see the shit a few doctors can get away with for some period of time at reputable hospitals. I shudder to think what a bad actor could do treating immigrant detainee women who don’t speak English, whose families aren’t in the picture, with the dregs of the medical and nursing professions treating, with little to no oversight, and whose patients are being “protected” by a prison guard workforce of incompetents who think brown people are vermin.

    Yeah, and I’m sure the (few) psycho doctors are for more likely to be treating women at a detention facility than at, say, Johns Hopkins. Both because they know there’s greater opportunities for abuse at a detention facility and because they may not have been able to hack it at more reputable places.
  14. lemonlime
    Nothing to gain. But you have an atmosphere where the detainees are brown, and have been demonized, considered to be less than human. Detention center staff who doesn’t give a fuck about them. No oversight, including that press and congress critters are kept out of the facilities. Perfect opportunity for a rogue, vile criminal, who happens to be a doctor to take advantage. Think the killer nurse, Nurse Cullen, who went around hospitals killing hundreds of people before he was caught. Only here, it’s a doctor in a facility where no one gives a flying fuck about any of his patients, and there’s no one to object to this stuff.

    Yup. But this fits in with everything ICE has done to date. It's not even so much that I think trump or people high up at DHS wanted this or were even aware of it. I think they're evil fucks, but I'm not sure on a transactional level what this gets them. But you spend years demonizing people, calling them animals and vermin, having them imprisoned by people who think they're vermin, don't spend any money or effort taking care of them. You wind up with a system ripe for abuse and for abuse medical "professionals" to get away with heinous shit.

    So in 3 1/2 years we've covered Nazi Germany from about 1933 to 1940.

    Not sure what combination of vile, stupid, or drunk he was.

    So I guess this is also why trump hasn't said or done a fucking thing about the fires out west. He doesn't want to panic people.
  22. lemonlime
    Anyone with two working brain cells knew that trump and the GOP were lying about the severity of Covid. The death cult was going to death cult no matter what.
  23. lemonlime
    Clearly, dotard is deeply concerned with not inciting panic.
  24. lemonlime
    This. Also children are less likely to be symptomatic. I'm not saying that nonsense about Covid being harmless to them, just that more children infected with the virus will be asymptomatic carriers than adults infected with the virus. Meanwhile, they're taking the virus home with them. Wait a few weeks until their family members start getting sick and there will likely and sadly be an increase in cases.
