    Jan 14 isn't a thing.  Donald Trump will never be President on January 20th.  It will be Joe Biden or, if they continue to fuck around and find out, Nancy Pelosi as 3rd in line. 

    Yeah, if cruz's plan is to logjam the process and force a vote in the House... Couldn't madame speaker just logjam it in the house and become President herself? 

    I agree with Buzz, sounds like bullshit

    That indicates to me that it's not just family gatherings and such, but a large-scale stopped-giving-a-shit.

    Brother, an incredible number of people never even started giving a shit. It's all a hoax to take away your freedoms anyways, right??

    It's remarkable the difference I've seen between cities and rural areas, you'd think there was no pandemic based on the lack of facemask usage in small towns

    On a related note, US hit record number of hospitalizations. 

    https://www.cnn.com/world/live-news/coronavirus-pandemic-vaccine-updates-01-05-21/h_e28c89bb60c3c8c520c5b0273cc57e6a

    The United States reported 128,210 current Covid-19 hospitalizations on Monday, setting a new record high since the pandemic began, according to the Covid Tracking Project (CTP).

    This is the 34th consecutive day that the US has remained above 100,000 current hospitalizations.

    According to CTP data, the highest hospitalization numbers were recorded on these days:

    1. Jan. 4: 128,210 
    2. Jan. 3: 125,544 
    3. Dec. 31: 125,379 
    4. Dec. 30: 125,218 
    5. Jan. 1: 125,047

    I don't want to steal cheeseweasel's bit, but I'm pretty sure this is what bodies in trees looks like. LA rationing access to hospital facilities isn't going to be the only instance of insufficient care available. Small town Texas and anyplace without a hospital nearby have been seeing a 20% higher rate of mortality. Fuck around and find out, indeed.

    PS: maybe don't respond to them. The FB algorithm is just gonna push more of their brain worms your way.

    This is the most insidious thing about FB - it just feeds you whatever you engage with the most, positively or negatively. And their business model depends on a steady stream of outrage and echo chamber to keep people on their drip feed of facebook. It's fucking awful

    No but when it's been shown that fatties die at 12x the clip of those that aren't AND you add in the fact they also don't wear masks at same clip as others (at least based on videos etc I have seen).

    People acting like being obese is a healthy lifestyle choice is what is crazy. There is a reason obesity has been given priority for the CV19 vaccine. Magazines trying to make it seem like some kind of "healthy" way of living is nuts.

    I don't see many posters on here arguing that being obese is a healthy lifestyle choice, because it certainly isn't, and is the single biggest pressure on the US healthcare system in my opinion. But I don't understand why you'd single out this decades-long, generational issue as THE problem that the US uniquely faces in handling the pandemic. As opposed to a toe to tip failure of leadership, coordination, and messaging to effectively manage and mitigate the pandemic, which in turn inspires the bad and anti-social behavior of refusing to wear facemasks and engage in other risky behaviors. 

    Addressing obesity IS something that's important and the last time it was made an issue, there were nothing but complaints of "tHe GoVeRnMeNt CaNt TeLl Me HoW tO fEeD mY cHiLd". So I don't disagree with anything you're saying, but I do think you should stop distracting from the actual issue in this pandemic of a significant portion of the population just straight up refusing to do the barest minimum to protect their neighbor and fellow citizen.

    Your ranting aside, he most certainly wished death on old people with political opinions that conflict with his own.

     

    Lmao two sentences is a weak ass rant my dude. I guess I read the context that comment was made in to mean "non-woke" == "covid is a hoax/muh freedoms/facemasks are communism". If those folks want to earn their darwin award, let em have at it. Just keep them away from my dad in a nursing home.
