I agree. I mean, he's spending all his day in a lovely courthouse (no offense to this court or the actual space, it just looks like a working NYC court house, compared to some lavish Supreme Court chambers which I'm sure Trump thinks he should have), listening to people poo poo on him all day, and he can't say or do anything. Must be torture.

And to that I say... oh well, anways.

If he has to spend the rest of his life stuck in a court room forced to listen to women nd non-whites telling him to shut the gently caress up, well that's a good as any punishment we could hope for.

Per capita rates, we’re not at the top of the list but we’re pretty drat close. Based on https://www.worldometers.info/coronavirus/.

But plenty of other countries came close. The UK, for example, is within 10% of the US. Germany was 30% lower. A lot of the world, and especially the western world, had a really poor response. Lives would have been saved under better leadership but I believe it would be closer to 400k than 700k to be honest.

Well, the West has an older population. Also I wouldn't be surprised if there was generally more accurate reporting there as well. Not necessarily deliberately, just to be clear. Just less robust systems of tracking and monitoring causes of death.

Although if we're talking about suspicious numbers, I see China is claiming 4 deaths per million on that chart which strains credulity.

Let that sink in: people want to vote for a guy more devastating to American human life than the loving Civil War

It's amazing when you think about how many people still consider Covid to have been overblown or a hoax. Even disregarding that fact that we all lived through it just a few years back, what kind of cognitive dissonance does it take to just ignore the fact that over 1 million people died from this? I know people who have had personal friends, relatives, coworkers etc. die and they still dismiss it as being not that big of a deal.

I appreciate your patience, this is a tricky maneuver
I have a former coworker I still have occasional contact with. Not in medicine but a practicing scientist, very intelligent guy. Absolutely went anti-vaxx brokebrained over COVID and I can't have any conversation with him about anything without him bringing up vaccines. Last time I listened he was saying that COVID vaccine isn't a vaccine, it's a "therapeutic". His proof? You can still get COVID even if you're vaccinated.

Dude has a PhD and was primarily responsible for getting me my first job out of grad school. Somehow he poisoned his brain so hard he doesn't understand how vaccines work anymore.

The far-right House Republican group Thursday appeared to be plotting a defensive tactic against moderate counterparts and has assembled to assist them in this effort a Floor Action Response Team, or as Politico's Congress reporter Olivia Beavers dubbed it in acronym, a FART.

It's gonna be quite the battle fighting those House moderates, I'd imagine...

I enjoyed all those red/blue charts showing how strongly COVID deaths aligned correlated with voter preference in that region. Would be interesting to see that done on a global map of country deaths vs. right-left political alignment (with all the usual caveats of that being a reductive political analysis).

It was illustrative here in Ireland where we had half the per-capita death rate of neighbouring Britain, despite sharing a land border, and having genetically and demographically comparable populations. The difference seemed to be Ireland actually taking lockdowns seriously, and not being as thoroughly socially hollowed by decades of austerity as Britain.
