    Sarcasm indeed. Because I also don't feel bad for Barr in the slightest.

    Streamlined version again because it's Monday and underreported.

    198,647 new cases; about 2k fewer than last Monday. But MANY counties from a couple of the largest states have not weighed in. Yesterday when I reported there was a 4k difference. After all the numbers came in that ballooned up to 9k. Things are still bad.

    Not checking for records today as I'm not expecting many if any.

    1,619 deaths is over 50 more than last Monday and brings the total to 308,089. I expect the 7-day average to continue increasing this week.

    Related news:

    First case of the coronavirus detected in the wild--I don't even want to think about the implications. None of them are good.

    Bipartisan group unveils two-part $908 billion coronavirus package--It's honestly too little; too late at this point but maybe it'll help a handful of people.

    Stay safe, folks.

    I mean...yeah.



    I know you use a different source but that one has a quick and easy 7-day rolling death count.

    One positive, at least locally, it seems like Illinois isn't having a Thanksgiving bump, they're still doing a good amount of testing even on slow days, and is actually coming down a bit from its highs in November. But I think that's more having to do with there being few people left in Illinois to infect. There are still few cases of reinfection so Illinois is close to having 1/3 or 1/2 of its population having had it if the models suggesting that 4-5x as many people have had it as have been recorded. A lot of the remaining population is like me and my mother who have such limited contact with others that it's really unlikely we'd ever get it. Half of my building is seniors who never leave their apartments and as far as I know nobody in my building has gotten it out of 24 units.

    I imagine the 2 of them have had some very tiring meetings.
    Honestly he is probably leaving so some loon that is willing to throw it ALL away can take his place for the last month Trump is still in office and get spinning up a bunch of pointless special council stuff.

    Trump won't be able to confirm anyone in a lame duck if he does then the GOP will screw themselves even further into the hole.

    Doesn't need to. The loon below Barr already is bumped up.

    His fate was sealed when he said there was no election fraud. Trump waited until yesterday, only to try to steal the elector certification Thunder from Biden. I believe Biden won and then within an hour, Trump tweeted that Barr is gone. It’s a copium distraction... like scheduling a rally on Biden’s Inauguration Day.

    Well that is obvious. Just like we know when the electoral votes come to Congress we will have one person object so they have to do a floor vote and Biden will get in and shortly after some other goal post moving procedure will occur where Trump and allies ask for more money and someone else gets canned. Probably will be close to off with Rudy's head time by then.

    Wow - this failed so miserably that it never occurred to me that this was the reason for at least the timing of it. Oh Barr leaving the Trump administration was an interesting sideshow, but not real pertinent. Biden getting over 300 electoral votes, and his speech last night - THAT was something and was pertinent.

    Trump no longer matters. Well except for what remaining power he has to further degrade the US, and to harm republicans.

    when someone asked (the way I see it) why I haven't seemed to criticize Trump before. Well, at this point, it doesn't matter as I see it because he is soon to lose his power and fade into an unpleasant fate.

    I'm more concerned with what the FBI said before about being privy to horrible information about Trump. No, not the fact we'll ever know what that is but, rather, whether a lot of federal agents are waiting for Trump to leave office to bumrush him for incarceration. It would be a bad outlook for America.

    No, it's because you are a devout Trump supporter, and have gone on record supporting his sexual assault and racism.

    Punishing the corrupt is a great look for America. Illinois is my favourite US state because they sent Gov George Ryan (R) and his successor Rod Blagojevich (D) to prison for corruption.

    it's not so much about the consequences for him. If he is exposed as a criminal, it would be a bad outlook for the US because a criminal was voted into office and that would demonstrate people didn't learn much after Nixon. Or in other words: places in the world would see US citizens as morons.

    It's a shame you so openly support corrupt government and fascists.
