That's horrible. People should not be forgetting the dangerous pandemic. Here where I live I'm often now the only one wearing a mask other than store employees

Yes. For one thing for at least 40 years they haven't been anything resembling conservative. They're all for wasting money like crazy when it's going into their own pockets. Regan/Bush2/trump. All had no problem exploding the national deficit for their own selfish means. They also like using fear as the main motivating force to keep you voting for them. They have always invented boogymen for fear mongering and one of their favorite targets is minorities. All from Nancy Regan and the bullshit war on drugs to trump era "caravans" and hordes of illegals looking to kill whitey. Nothing but lies and bullshit fear mongering. All to distract you while they reached into America's pockets and continuously stole from all of us. They've also always been about their own Christian or white people's rights but fuck everyone else. We want to carry guns but we want the police to harass and kill minorities for carrying guns. We want our drugs of choice legalized and prescribed in large doses but we want the poor and minorities sent to prison for their drugs. We want to believe in Christianity and you can't interfere but we want to spread lies and propaganda about Muslims, Jews, and anyone other than us. That's who they are. That's who they've always been.

Those investigators and undercovers aren't the ones beating and abusing non white Innocents. It's the low level daily patrol uniformed thugs and those aren't preventing jack shit. Mostly just writing tickets and responding to emergency calls. They should stick to doing that but just do it better.

Ok, we know black lives didn't do this.

Woah, Sperry surprisingly sucked on that speculation.

That's why I said further deregulation. Clinton signed the horrible repeal led by good ol Phil Graham (Texas: what starts with our congressmen fucks up the country) but Bush's further commitment to lax regulation allowed it to percolate. Even after Sarbanes-Oxley Bush had his administration block all attempts on pertinent regulation. Plus, his administration ignored all warning signs of what was coming.

George W had the decency to to smile to your face and act like a bumbling fun loving bumpkin while his administration racked up trillions in debt, started unwinnable wars, set up the surveillance state to violate the constitutional rights of every American citizen every day, and further deregulation that allowed massive corruption in the banking sector to send the country into a great recession. But what a fun loving bumpkin.

The gestapo is overrunning bastropo. And everywhere else

the change could come about but they need to keep this up for as long as it takes and make demands on Congress and the president to enact police reform immediately. Make clear the protests and disruption will not end until that happens. Make life absolutely 100% uncomfortable for Trump and the politicians every damn day

That cop murderer is definitely a Zed

Sounds good. How do you get the politicians and president to enact the legislation to do it?

I don't think that political website is sourcing their data correctly. Either that or the CDC has conflicting data in different parts of their website. Which wouldn't be a surprise under Trump. Their CDC site isn't working on my mobile so I don't know how they're searching the metric but the year data for Florida pneumonia deaths from the CDC list I found was https://www.cdc.gov/nchs/pressroom/sosmap/flu_pneumonia_mortality/flu_pneumonia.htm 2018 - 3091 2017 - 3057 2016 - 2808 2015 - 2676 2014 - 2719 And for 2020 5667 pneumonia and 302 influenza. https://www.cdc.gov/nchs/nvss/vsrr/covid19/index.htm So why is the CDC putting out two different data sets for the same metric? Or did empty wheel source their data incorrectly?

That would definitely help but it needs to be total pneumonia deaths and not a percentage of total deaths because that percentage of total deaths metric includes a ton of unnecessary variables and doesn't account for Covid19 as a 2020 exclusive cause of more deaths. I'm open for reinterpretation if someone can bring actual raw data that differs from what I got from the CDC, provided it's from a reputable source or a self contradiction of the CDC itself. Right now all I could find from an official source is those numbers, and I don't think the CDC or Texas local MEs are falsifying information.

I believe the reason we are in this situation is because a not insignificant percentage of white Americans, and definitely a far too significant percentage of white cops, do believe all or most black people are criminals.

It doesn't have to be a grand conspiracy. Texas has been behind on testing since the beginning. You get a possible covid death but can't confirm - pneumonia it is. Florida seems more blatant in terms of just hiding shit. Texas seems to have just been incompetent. Exactly. And the numbers provided by the CDC show that it's by a significant amount. I do believe the state leadership knows exactly what's happening and is refusing to admit or acknowledge it because it's information that contradicts their re-opening actions, but in no way do I think the individual MEs are being disingenuous. I just think they weren't provided the resources they need and without the ability to test the dead they don't feel right classifying a death as Covid even when it's pretty obvious. There's a poster on here who lost an aunt in this very scenario, and if I remember correctly she was never tested so I'd be shocked if she wasn't listed as pneumonia. If he could confirm that would be great. Unfortunately we won't know until months later when we get the CDC numbers on pneumonia deaths post May 29 just how deadly this full reopen truly was. A large percentage of our population is underinsured with sky high deductibles or uninsured all together so the trend we see of people dying without ever seeing a hospital probably gets a lot worse. People who actually care to know the figures are getting bad data to go on suggesting it isn't as deadly as it truly is and that's a horrible reality of the suppression tactics by the Fed and state.

Sorry, was distracted by other things and frankly tired and frustrated by this argument so left it alone for a day. Ok, first you show a graph that is comparing pneumonia as a percentage of total deaths. That's faulty for this instance because official covid19 deaths have pushed the total deaths way higher than normal as well as the covid deaths classified as pneumonia. So the overall percentage of total deaths wouldn't rise as dramatically as the raw numbers show. You say the data I got from the CDC is faulty but you haven't shown why or given any data that refutes it. You need to bring the exact raw data for total pneumonia deaths for 2020 and the total deaths from the last 5 or so years. Find those numbers that differ from the CDC numbers I used and we'll go from there. And again, I'm not saying the state or localities are intentionally under-reporting covid deaths as pneumonia. I 100 percent think it's a function of the suppressing of tests especially in the first months of the pandemic. We still are in a situation where we don't have enough tests to test the living that need it and the deceased that died outside the hospital and never received tests. As far as I know no dead bodies brought to the morgue are being tested in Texas or anywhere else. That's where I believe the total covid deaths are being hidden. Without tests for positive confirmation the MEs are classifying as pneumonia because that's what the symptoms are. Therefore you have a situation where people either too poor or underinsured to go to the hospital are dying of covid and not being counted. Now, the CDC numbers I found I documented earlier and as of May 29th Texas was 1,777 pneumonia deaths over their average for the previous 5 total years. Those years had an annual low of approx 2700 and a high of approx 3500. Texas is at approx 5000 as of May 29. Now the question is what is the typical pace of pneumonia deaths in Texas in a normal year? We know in no year has Texas had anywhere near 5000 for the entire year much less by May 29, but what's the range Texas usually has by the end of May? 50 percent of total? 60? 35? That information would give us an idea of just how many deaths from covid are being misclassified as pneumonia. For example, If you assume in a normal year Texas hits 50 percent of it's pneumonia deaths in a year by the end of May then the normal range should be about 1350 to 1750 pneumonia deaths. According to the CDC Texas is at 5000 in 2020. That would be approximately 3250 to 3650 covid19 deaths misclassified as pneumonia. Given Texas has reported about 1600 official covid deaths so far that's potentially a very large amount to be wrong by. So not 4-5 times the amount like the reddit article said but realistically 2-3 times.

Trump needs to become known as Bunker Bitch. Hiding like a bitch when the country burned. Jack needs to change his Twitter handle to @BunkerBitch

Are any big cities with dispensaries getting looting? Because that's where I'd go. Carry out all the Maui Wowie and Purple Kush I could fit

The Satanic Temple is about individual rights and freedom from mental, physical, and emotional oppression of organized religions. They're far calmer and less judgemental than the American Jesus freaks

I've long held that notion that either God doesn't exist or just simply doesn't give a shit one way or the other about us. Or at worst enjoys tormenting us. And therefore is not worthy of any sort of reverence. if your father abandons you at birth and never said a single word to you throughout your entire life would he be worthy of reverence?

trump getting torn to pieces by an angry "lynch mob" like that used to torment minorities in the US for centuries would be the most awesome ending to a villan story ever.

yeah but if Trump would have been the president instead of him we'd all be speaking Russian right now. Or German

I can't think of a time that authority figures have punch themselves in the dicks repeatedly so much as republicans and cops are now. Talk about actions removing all doubt just how widespread the racism and corruption lies.

At the very least Pop would have us great for 20 straight years and champion country of the world in odd years.

I thought it would be almost impossible to find a more racist place than England where I grew up but it appears America has taken systemic racism to a whole new level. Bloody savages
