  1. That part about Trump's interest in Hitler's speeches could make for a perfect Lincoln Project ad, especially if they can find some Hitler clips that show the similarity between their inflammatory rhetoric. Of course, Hitler used big words, so the impact on Trump's "hurr durr" base would probably be minimal.
  2. So you're saying it's the garage for Tina and her family?
  3. I'd love to believe that, but, ahem, ... https://projects.fivethirtyeight.com/trump-approval-ratings/ As miserable a piece of shit as Trump has been over the last 4 years, his approval ratings have never been below 36.4%, and even throughout his debacle of a COVID response, the floor has gotten higher (40% for 2020). The additional 15-20% may not be full-on cult members, but they sure act like it.
  4. Jesus Christ - if you're going to try to whip up the dipshits with a conspiracy theory, perhaps you should remove the fucking link to the WaPo story on which he was commenting ... ahhh, who am I kidding, his audience is too fucking stupid to pick up on it.
  5. I'm pretty sure there would be abundant GoFundMe coverage if you ended up breaking down and ...
  6. Agreed. If we can't start getting it under control in the next few years, it's probably time to start making plans to become a Canadian citizen. Hell, in another 10 or 15 years, most of Canada will be nice and temperate.
  7. I love how mySA links directly to the "r/FuckYouKaren" board in the story ...
  8. "You say you were about to be attacked with a deadly bucket? We've never heard of that shit happening before. QUALIFIED IMMUNITY!!!" Yeah, I'd say we have some work to do in this country. https://www.kenoshanews.com/news/crime/federal-lawsuit-in-fatal-police-shooting-goes-to-appellate-court/article_ad081b7b-3f66-5768-9d63-9562366a37e9.html
  9. Agree. Plus I'd like Gym Jordan, Louie Gohmert and Matt Gaetz to fall into a wood shredder, given they're not going to lose in their respective districts.
  10. Seriously, it's just time to have coded voting receipts with a website available for verification. I've heard the arguments against (votes for cash, loss of secrecy, potential for receipt tampering, etc.), but between those and the risks of voting machine hacks, SOS / poll personnel chicanery, etc, it seems the least of all evils.
  11. Me have mini-strokes? That's unpossible!
  12. The polls would suggest that, among the remaining races, the best odds of a D win are: Maine - Gideon is pretty consistently polling at least +4, but the polls in ME aren't the highest quality + Collins always seems to pull things out. I would love for her to go down. Iowa - Greenfield has been polling at +2-3 recently, but the most recent high quality poll (Monmouth) had Ernst +1 at the start of the month. Alaska - Not much data here, but Gross (D) is definitely trending. Georgia - The polls have Ossof having a shot, but he'll have to overcome GA's voter suppression machine. Not a great chance, in my opinion. Montana - Not sure what has happened here, but Bullock's momentum has stalled, and Daines has been up consistently in recent polls.
  13. I look forward to the Trumpy Youth training videos, with all the production values of an ISIS / Al Qaeda vid (but perhaps with more banjo and fiddle) ...
  14. The fucking gaslighting is so thick now there is just no hope of de-programming 30% of the country.
  15. At 0:05, showing off the verbal skills and general mental acuity that earned him the nickname "Teen Sling Blade" ...
  16. If you're fucking with us, prepare to get neg-blasted to Bolivia ...
  17. I understand this pragmatic view point, especially if test results are still taking a week to turn around. My problem is that people may interpret this shift in guidance as, "Hey, I'm not really a risk to anyone if I don't have symptoms" and head into the office in the fall, even though they should be quarantining. If they're going to go down this path, they should at least reiterate that people should quarantine if they've been in close contact with someone that has tested positive and acknowledge why the position has changed (i.e., by the time you wait a week to test + a week for results, you'll either be symptomatic or non-contagious by the time you get the results). Of course, that would involve admitting that our testing regime is shitty, and they'll never do that, so here we are.
  18. The WH takeover of the CDC seems to be nearing completion. The CDC is now indicating that asymptomatic people that have been in contact with COVID-infected people need not get tested - a position that seems right out of Trump's "we need to stop testing so much so that we can get the numbers down" playbook. When coupled with the GOP pressure to get kids back into school no matter what, it's becoming increasingly clear that we're going to get hit hard in the fall. While they may have some luck in suppressing case numbers in the short term, people are going to start showing up in the hospitals at some point before the election. They really are some incredibly short-sighted, stupid fucks.
  19. DOn'T FoRGeT tHe ZInC!1!
  20. You sure they're not moving her to the finale?
  21. That bottom one is a bit unsettling. I didn't run it through Google translate for fear of getting cursed, but it definitely sounds like a mix of Russian and witch.
