  1. I wonder if Trump has already asked Pence to provide him with a signed pardon in advance of his resignation and Pence told him to get fucked. After yesterday, I suspect Trump may realize that getting a pardon from Pence ain't a sure thing.
  2. I sure am glad that COVID-19 disappeared right after the election ... Don't know if you guys had seen this yet, but it's an interesting visualization of where hospitals are under strain. https://carlsonschool.umn.edu/mili-misrc-covid19-tracking-project Apparently, >10% of total hospital beds being used for COVID patients is concerning, and over 20% represents extreme strain. Looks like North and East Texas + SA are getting pounded pretty good, with Houston and Austin following behind. SoCal and Arizona are just getting turbofucked right now (like 40% of total beds / 50-60% of ICU beds devoted to COVID). Hopefully we don't get that bad here in Texas.
  3. You know they're all going to find their way to "Rudy's computer guy" for analysis for further Kompromat, right?
  4. Yup - Kornacki was saying that they were expecting 20k more votes from Dekalb, which Ossoff has been winning +65%. When that net 13k votes hit, it should be clear where this is heading.
  5. Absolutely this. If there is going to be Civil War II, it's going to kick off in the next couple of weeks.
  6. I saw that Austin was projecting that they would run out of ICU beds by the middle of January. Maybe they had a peek at today's ICU admissions. Stay safe, everyone.
  7. I'm hoping this is a backlog / "we forgot to count any COVID cases over the last week" kind of thing, but Worldometers shows Texas with over 28,600 new cases today (with Bexar and Travis #s yet to hit). For reference, the highest new case count prior to today on Worldometers was 22,696. Needless to say, but if you're in Texas, stay home as much as you can and mask up if you have to go out. January is going to be shitty.
  8. I agree that the Democrats could use some work on their branding efforts. Not a huge fan of "Radical Right," given how the Rs have been beating the "Radical Left" drum for so long - it feels too tit-for-tat. I'm sure the Lincoln Project guys could come up with something catchy. At their core, the Trump enablers are just traitors to their country and whatever ideals they once claimed to espouse.
  9. Yeah, this reminds me of the first 10 minutes of every zombie movie ever made. You'd hope that the people making policy are being thoughtful about the potential implications, but I think we all know that that's just not the case right now ... perhaps it's time to stock up on shot guns, hatchets, etc., just in case?
  10. Just another reason why Atlas and the anti-mask crowd are fucking the rest of us - the more coronavirus floating around, the more likely it is that a mutation may pop up that hits the evolutionary jackpot and creates vaccine resistance. And there is going to be a metric shit-ton of coronavirus floating around in the U.S. over the next month or two responding to evolutionary pressure from the vaccine. Cross your fingers ...
  11. #1, but if there were any justice in the world ...
  12. Didn't realize she's here in Austin ... / no stalker /
  13. Don't both the Pfizer and Moderna vaccines require 2 doses? Maybe that's just an imprecise quote, but then again, maybe he's factoring in the fact that <50% of the population are going to want to be vaccinated right away - ya know, cuz 'Murica ...
  14. Yup, this wasn't predictable at all ... must be nice having a base comprised 95% of people who lack a sense of object permanence.
  15. I am so fucking ragey after watching this, I'm probably not going to sleep tonight. To recap: FUCK MITCH. FUCK LINDSEY. FUCK COLLINS. FUCK FLAKE. FUCK GRASSLEY. FUCK CRUZ. FUCK CORNYN. FUCK KENNEDY. FUCK BLACKBURN. FUCK MIKE LEE. FUCK KAVANAUGH, SQUEE AND DONKEY DONG DOUG. FUCK CONEY BARRETT. Merrick - you're cool. BUT FUCK ALL THESE OTHER MOTHERFUCKERS!
  16. Would gifting northern MI to Canada get Trump the MI electoral votes? If so, expect the backdated documentation explaining the loss of US citizenship of a number of former MI residents later tonight ...
  17. Wisconsin is hell bent on getting things back to normal in 2020. Question about 2020 law enforcement - am I correct that we let this guy go as long as he's just shooting people 65+ / others that look like they're not long for this world? Is that how we do this now?
  18. Did you just both sides all the presidents? Cannot Buscemi this hard enough ...
  19. I've said it before and I'll say it again - the more Trumpkin politicians that get Covid-19 and survive, the worse off we are. To make a dent in the disinformation bubble, a few of these folks need to die - for the good of the country, of course ...
  20. You know how I know the country is fucked? We're still using the phrase "perceived legitimacy" in conjunction with Rudy at the end of the 2020. Dude should have been in a padded room a year ago.
  21. I look at the 2000 deaths per day by Christmas as potentially optimistic. Have you guys looked at the EU numbers recently? 35 days ago they were averaging under 500 deaths per day. They're averaging 3100 deaths per day over the last week. They've taken some fairly dramatic action over the last couple of weeks and are starting to turn things around. Once the hospitals start getting overrun in the US, though, death rates will ramp up quickly just like they did in the EU. Honestly, I don't blame the ICU nurses for walking away - the average US citizen doesn't deserve them.
