A bit more on the time and energy wasting move by the GOP (and the same lawyer who tried to help Kanye West get on the ballot in Wisconsin - but no connection to the GOP, of course).

Might also point out that someone who hates lockdowns should support mask wearing,  given that it makes public gatherings safer and decreases the chance of a mass infection that would force the issue.

well, except it doesnt.
Unless you are oblivious to the numbers.
As we now know lockdowns have proven to be a disaster.
Wearing a mask without social distancing is another disaster.

This post distorts truth.

Sweet!

Oh...so who makes that judgement? You? What you're advocating isn't democratic.

Anyone who supported trump with more than a vote has acted to reject every foundation our country stands for. They have severed themselves from the nation. Now that we have rejected trump and it is clear to all, we need to hold his attendant rejects to their severance lest they succeed in reinstating something in his likeness but in an even more debased and dangerous form.

YOU are off topic. And all over the map. All you are doing is trying to justify what you say you are against.

Kiid is already clamoring for don jr to run in 2024. I’m frankly more worried about Tom cotton who seems to feel his destiny to command a whole army of psychos to kill off anything good, decent, and wholesome in the land. This type of shit needs to be nipped in the bud.

Kid has nothing to do with what YOU wrote. Man up.

After March 2017, trump support could no longer be counted as an ignorant mistake but has to be interpreted as a malicious attack on The United States of America and treated accordingly.

Advocating killing judges is not something anyone who supports the US Constitution can defend arguing.

So, as un-American as Trump and many of his supporters are or have been, what you are saying is at least as un-American.

Act like you won the election. If you are for  a UNITED States of America, then it's best to start thinking of ways to bring people together. Your extremist identity politics serves a very different purpose.

Identity politics?

You mean the white suprematists?

I am a bit reluctant to break bread and make nice with those who made a frontal, if bumbling, assault on our democracy and in the process tried to use back people as their weapon and target.

I’m for Nuremberg style trials for those who made and carried out the policies that were crimes against humanity.

These bastards must be held accountable.

That's a very sad picture, Larry. I feel good about having spent the last 5 months making sure that the eldest seniors in my town have been getting food they need. And I feel badly that I have to do so, too.

 Also, we are upping our donations to the food bank this year.

BTW, a very good charity for addressing this terrible problem is "Feeding America", found here on Charity Navigator.

Charity is terrific but what does that have to do with the GOP deliberately causing so much psin and suffering?

Why won’t the Republicans let the Federal Government step up and do it’s job?


I support a share in a community farm here in SE.

Redfield cited Brown's School Dashboard in his push for schools to reopen more.

The site's coordinator says that's nuts and her site doesn't say or do what he seems to think it does.

[josh]

Separately, the NYT says that: WH pressured CDC to downplay risks of reopening schools

So terribly shocking.

Yup. Larry is taking a narrower approach clearly fully within the law. I think more will be required.  White Privilege should not let these fuckers fade into anonymity or worm their way back into the mainstream. Beat them until they are destroyed, despondent, destitute, and finally dust. After that, I’ll work on getting along with whoever is left.

New York gets it. The rest of the nation will catch on and catch up.

Driving all the major republicans into south and central Florida then walling them into the peninsula to form their ethnostate or perish seems fair. They may have some trouble with sea level and salinity, but they caused most of it so that’s on them.

A couple years burying Covid victims and cleaning superfund sites might earn them some kind of provisional non-voting residence back north of the wall.
