    Savannah reinstates mask mandate indoors

    An indoor mask mandate has been reinstated in Savannah, Georgia, effective immediately, amid a steep rise in the daily number of COVID-19 cases, Mayor Van Johnson said.

    The county is now seeing 1,000 new cases per day – which is what was recorded there during the highest peak in 2020, Demings said.
    No mask mandates or restrictions.

    And I think that's all I ever need say about DeathSantis "not doing anything other states aren't doing".

    WE LIKE LEGAL IMMIGRATION! Says the man who just introduced a bill ending all immigration for the next decade because he's upset that asylum seekers can remain in the US while their cases are pending.

    Maybe they actually do hate all immigration.

    Okay, sigh. @cubby how often do actual people speak like rejected Independence Day writers in an actual courtroom? Because last I checked, "I am not guilty because love and freedom" had a poor track record.
    Lol, we'll see some of those pleas from defendants who move on to "not guilty by reason of insanity". The fact that any kind of plea like that was allowed to be entered just means there isn't anything of substance. The Grifters Of Politics are now officially reaping what they sow.

    Is this going to be like the Michael Keaton movie Multiplicity where he is cloned and they get dumber and dumber as a result? I mean it would explain a lot. Maybe this Trump is a clone of a clone of a clone.

    I see Trump got a crowd cheering for the US women's soccer team loosing by claiming they lost because they were too woke. Very unpatriotic. And never mind they lost to an even woker nation in Sweden.

    Ah yes, the World Cup winning US Women's soccer team are known for being too woke to play the sport they're world champions of.

    Since when did conservatives start caring about soccer though? Next thing we'll hear they're big into the most American of sports, cricket!

    Michigan Republicans take money designed for "hazard pay", use $65K to give themselves bonuses.

    Now, this is actually illegal as they were giving themselves bonuses retroactively, which they are not allowed to do. Now, under pressure, they're giving the money back.

    I thought Republicans hated government welfare? Have they been lying all this time and they DO like it when the government gives them money?

    Interesting that they did this in broad daylight. Normally, I would assume "politicians return money they gave themselves" to come before "after they are caught doing it". These guys held a full-on public vote.

    We have multiple restaurants here with 10 or more staff out. Multiple places closed on days they’d normally be open due to sick staff. Theres even a ducking pizza place that is only able to do dine in, no phone orders the door sign said. And the chucklefucks just keep pouring into town.

    I’ve been begging my staff to go get vaccinated. Of the 37 employees, 6 are vaccinated.

    In a new poll of Republican voters, Donnie Dum-Dum Jr and DeathSantis are neck-and-neck with a +55ish approval rating.

    "Where did Trump land?"

    He wasn't a listed option.

    "That's some media censorship!"

    It was conducted by Trump's 2016 and 2020 campaign pollster, so no.

    Incidentally Gaetz is +17, Greene is +8, and McConnell is basically even.

    Honestly, this is good news. If Donnie Dum-Dum Jr. manages to keep the top billing, he might run -- and he has neither the charisma of Trump nor the experience of DeSantis. I wholeheartedly applaud any movement towards the Party of Trump doubling down on the dumbing down.

    Really feed kinda bad right now. As an extension of my last post, ended up talking to my niece. While went into other stuff I won't be mentioning here. I ended up telling her to please not go into healthcare when she gets older as she could get someone killed.

    She said she didn't see how a vaccine could help against any virus. I asked her about Polio or Smallpox, at which point she responded with "What are those?" Had to tell her that they were viruses that vaccines had gotten rid of and that they also got the Measles out of the United States till some anti-vaxxers brought them back. She honestly doesn't believe any of that. And told me what the "News" in Florida was saying where I pointed out they were caught lying about their stuff for over a year now. She largely didn't care or believe me.

    This level of ignorance and stupidity being passed to the next generation by these people is sad and dangerous.....
    Since we can't call out Trolls and Bad Faith posters and the Ignore function doesn't actually ignore it. Add

    to your ublock or adblock filter to actually ignore ignored posters. Now just need a way to ignore responses to them as well.

    Just on a related note, in regards specifically to all the conspiracy theories Trump has pushed, and then how Trump has given national rise to the QAnon Conspiracy group, leading to a small majority of people rooted in reality labeling the new Party of Trump the GQP:

    Parkland shooting survivor says their dad believes it was a hoax after QAnon 'consumed his life'.

    These people are in need of deep mental health specialists, and even then it might not be possible to save them. At some point, if our society manages to avoid The Party dominating Oceania, and rises above the bullshit and we flourish, I would bet this kind of behavior by the QAnon'ers will be labeled a mental health disorder.

    It's easy on a daily basis to just shake our heads and laugh at them, but at some point, we really need to weep for them individually and "pray" our society can rise above these people (not bagging on your niece, just to be clear, but on those people who fall into that general category you were describing).

    This needs to get more traction than just one post in rando gaming thread. It should really be the GQP's siren song.

    Nah, it's alright. I felt bad for saying but I ended up telling her that myself. She is about 13 years old. In Florida she is home schooled and even then she calls me and asks for help on math and science because I actually know what I am talking about and even he knows it and because, according to her, they don't really talk much anymore and she actually wants away but at the same time he just had a new kid last month (With the side chick he dumped my sister for and he is like 44 years old too) and she doesn't want to leave him to grow up in that alone.

    Said that when she is older, she really doesn't want much to do with him outside of the new baby with how he acts. But guessing its a combination of him and the culture of Florida but she honestly knows little to nothing about this stuff and even tried to tell me she saw on the news down there how half the people in the hospitals down there sick are vaccinated and how it doesn't really seem to work from what the news says down there.

    I fear for her future because she will have so much crap that she was taught incorrectly that she will have to fix if she wants to have many jobs.

    I find it interesting how the public perception of Trump and the right wing is now so skewed and synonymous with bad things that the very idea of being right or some of Trump's ideas now will get you shunned in some way.

    "Trump" is now synonymous with mental illness and violence.
