    In other news, new cases reached 827k today, a decrease of 22k from the total reported last Friday. A week from today we'll probably have a much better picture of what's to come.

    Deaths were up again at 2303, an increase of 277 over last Friday. The 7-day rate is now 1829, up from the pre-Thanksgiving low of 1047. It seems somewhat likely that we'll surpass the summer high mark of 2023 before we start to see this go back down again, but also unlikely that we'll reach last winter's high mark of 3563.

    I hope Illinois state's supreme court let's our gerrymandered map stay. And while that statement might seem like a double standard, I look at it more like, If republicans didn't want to be crapped on endlessly, they simply wouldn't act as they do. So I'll oblige.

    And whyyyy is it a "power grab"? Because every Republican knows that they simply do not get the popular vote, because they're an even shittier political party than anyone can claim Democrats to be. The ability for everyone to easily vote is always detrimental to Republicans.
    Exactly, any attempt to hold fair elections is a power grab because Republicans can't win fair elections.

    Funny to see Pence compare voting rights to an assassination attempt against him tho.
    It ignores such insignificant forces as time, entropy, and death

    It is, he's desperate to get out of that six-foot-hole Trump dug for him.

    He is accused of having a paying job. That is what he is accused of. Something none of the Trump kids have had besides the crime family operations at the Trump Organization.

    They are accusing Hunter Biden of getting money for him and Joe Biden, but they conveniently ignore that we have 22 years of Joe Biden's tax returns that show he hasn't had much of any cash flow besides, speaking engagements, books maybe, and his vice presidential, and senatorial salaries for years.

    There is no billions they have claimed from China or Ukraine.

    He's accused of [whatever the GQP needs to say to distract their insane flock from asking real questions] and it should stick pretty well. The MAGAts aren't getting any smarter.

    Thankfully all that nonsense didn't seem to earn them much ground back in 2020, so I don't really imagine that it'll amount to anything now.


    Not even the conservative laggards that skulk around these forums are pushing "Hunter Biden" nonsense anymore. And they DO skulk; you'll see them pop in to these threads every once in a blue moon to quote someone they think they've got a "gotcha" on before having a dozen and a half other posters point out why whatever inane point they tried to make is idiotic, misinformed, hypocritical, or all three, and then they disappear for another few weeks before trying it again with someone else.

    Only Republicans think voting should be illegal.

    So Trump had that rally instead of his Jan 6th thing, and big surprise, he talked about how the election was stolen and Fauci was the worst person he ever hired.

    He is also pushing the Gaetz/Greene thing about the Jan 6th convicted criminals being treated poorly, which also, there's no evidence of that, either. Hopefully he'll get the chance to ask when he's arrested.

    Knowing Trump, he probably claims to have hired Reagan. And perhaps Lincoln, as well.

    He does routinely tell black people that he's done more for them than any other president...

    Steve Bannon says Trump rally precursor to overturning 2020 election.

    Just a reminder, on the 12th I did say that any Trump supporter should no longer be addressed by what's in their post but the far more important

    We still need to do that. Because Trump's cult still seems to think that he won. So, again, any Trump poster says anything, any topic, any statement, that is not to be addressed in any way other than getting their public confirmation that Trump won/lost.

    Because the people pushing "Clinton lost, get over it" sure can't seem to get over it.

    I remember when he claimed Sessions was the worst person he ever hired.
    I remember when he claimed Bolton was the worst person he ever hired.
    Now Fauci is the worst person he ever hired.

    I mean he's crapped on most of his former employee's but those are the ones I specifically recall are the ones he claimed the worst person he ever hired. Probably more though.
