  1. 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.
  2. 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.
  3. Just curious - how much faith do you guys have the in long-term safety of the mRNA vaccines that are going to be first to market? As I understand it, there isn't much, if any, long-term safety data for mRNA vaccines at this point, but the scientific community seems to think that the risk of serious issues is relatively low because mRNA tends to break down in the body relatively quickly. So, if availability wasn't an issue, where do you guys stand on jumping in line to get your vaccine shot - 1. Put me in the front of the line! 2. Come back and talk to me in 6 months / a year. 3. I'll wait for a more conventional vaccine. As someone that tends to trust science generally, I hate to say it, but I might lean toward waiting until summer 2021, just to make sure nothing wonky is going on (especially because I'm not in one of the high risk groups and work from home anyway). What are you guys thinking?
  4. Fucking Germans even lapping us in humor these days ... what will be left for the U.S. in the future?
  5. Fucking this. Unless this guy uses his propaganda machine to undo both Citizens United and climate change denial, he's on the guillotine short-list if revolution breaks out. As a starting point, this fucker should pen an amicus brief explaining exactly how exactly the Kochs have used dark money to fuck democracy and pointing out that Roberts is either a willing accomplice or disqualifyingly naive for his role on the USSC. Until that day, he can fuck all the way off.
  6. Oh, I hated the Colonel with his wee, beady eyes ...
  7. Soon to be re-named the "SS Herd Immunity I" at Scott Atlas' urging ...
  8. The lawyer for California needs to be working for some sound bites here. Make the GOP own this in digestible clips so that people understand that the GOP is absolutely trying to fuck them out of healthcare during the pandemic.
  9. A whopping 30,561 votes counted in PA over the last 7 hours. PA starting to roll like Nevada - JFC... Anyway, 65D / 35R split in this batch.
  10. Can we go ahead and set up some crowdfunding for Gritty's bail / legal defense, should he feel the need to take a steel chair to this dipshit's dome?
  11. It's like dealing with a fucking 3-year old: "Your honor, we need to be able to see the ballots with our hands ..."
  12. Agreed - love the reference to her daughters, "Amy Erica, Ginger Anne and Clitter."
  13. When the dust settles, I'd love to pull together a list of the best nicknames for the Trumpkin movement. My short list: Y'all Qaeda Vanilla ISIS Howdy Arabians American Caliphate Whatchagot, Surly?
  14. A lil' mood music, just in case things unfold just right tonight (no jinx ...): If I'm sober enough whenever the news hits, I'm probably gonna roll through some of the neighborhoods where I've seen Trump signs bumping this like I was still a dumbass 16-year old kid. Can't be said enough - fuck Donald Trump.
  15. If the Dems were smart, they'd have bots instigating the shit out of both sides of the Republican Party right now. Lord knows they're the most easily manipulated fucks on the planet ...
  16. Mail ballots for another Trump county (55R/44D) going 70/30 in Biden's favor.
  17. Absolutely this. Birks and Esper can go fuck themselves. Do they really think they're going to be able to sell this shit as a profile in courage?
  18. Umm, white college grad women ... I guess Karens are getting tired of being called Karens.
