I, for one, enjoy how the Democrat's new tactic is to finger wag at Trump and tell him to lead the country when they should know by existing the last 4 years that he's incapable of doing so. Rather than stepping up to the plate, they just throw up their hands and go "well he's big government man we're just small government people with no power he better do something though or else...!".

If that carrier captain gets fired then I think it really tees things up for a military coup. Unless they can prove that he leaked his report to the press, they would be firing him for accurately relaying urgent information up the chain of command. Him being removed would be a confirmation that the Commander in Chief expects the military to just suffer massive amounts of casualties in order to protect his political prospects. Also, someone in the Trump admin absolutely leaked it, they are known for leaking basically everything.

because there's always like a couple dozen newcomers to CSPAM who are bloviatingly flabbergasted I guess I have to meet them halfway

I don't mean that I'm looking down at others, I just mean that after over two months of going "holy poo poo this is going to gently caress everything up" I've kind of reached a zen acceptance state of things. everything is going to get hosed up. if corona gets me, corona gets me. if the usa balkanizes, the usa balkanizes. glee, awe, shock, horror, terror isn't going to change a single thing about any of these events. I wrap the bandana around my face before I go out for groceries for calories to sustain my continued existence because all the masks are sold out and it's the least I can actually possibly do.

everyone else is like "OH MY gently caress!", they'll all get to the same place eventually. this isn't a short-lived crisis, this is our new reality.

White House officials have refused to explain how they generated the figure — a death toll bigger than the United States suffered in the Vietnam War or the 9/11 terrorist attacks. They have not provided the underlying data so others can assess its reliability or provided long-term strategies to lower that death count.

quote:

Anthony S. Fauci, director of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases, told others there are too many variables at play in the pandemic to make the models reliable: “I’ve looked at all the models. I’ve spent a lot of time on the models. They don’t tell you anything. You can’t really rely upon models.”

lmao at the notion of "united states of america" just shut it down, shut it all down and balkanize why continue the long expired ruse

quote:

"I don't understand why that's not happening," Dr. Anthony Fauci told CNN's Anderson Cooper during CNN's coronavirus town hall.

More than 30 states and the District of Columbia have ordered their residents to stay at home. Fauci said governors that have held out thus far "really should" reconsider with the number of US cases passing 236,000 on Thursday and continuing to climb.

"You know, the tension between federally mandated versus states' rights to do what they want is something I don't want to get into," he said. "But if you look at what's going on in this country, I just don't understand why we're not doing that."

Listen: there will NOT be a military coup in the United States.

The senior officers all went through West Point or the Naval Academy or wherever, and they all fervently believe in the concept of military power being subservient to civilian political leadership. They will cite - and probably actually believe in - the core values of their service branches.

Sure, they're loving morons - especially because it should be painfully clear to absolutely anyone that Trump is a goddamn criminal. But they won't cross that line.

They still believe in American exceptionalism, and think we're the Good Guys.

i cant get a job at local hospitals because they're actively CUTTING hours right now in east tennessee

the wave hasn't hit yet. they know it's coming. instead of hiring people on (im literally applying to be an ER grunt as a clinical year PA student) they're just moving their own people around. The hypochondriacs have stopped coming in, and the rush of people thinking they have corona doesn't make up the difference. managers are worried about their bottom line.

like im just sitting here with cancelled rotations wanting to help or do anything but no matter how many application i send no one messages me back

i have literally every single certificate or license i need just to work in the er as a go'fer like what the gently caress let me help

You have to get it through your head that Trump is like superman. He gets his superpowers from the sun, except its not the sun. It's the decay and distrust of democracy. The more people that die, the more powerful he is. The more people understand that they are 100% guaranteed to die the more they love him. The more our institutions are gutted and disparaged the harder it is to get rid of him. The whole republican party is like a ball of poo poo rolling downhill, and the country falling off a cliff isn't going to slow it down.

quote:

When Congress passed the massive $2 trillion bailout bill last week, it made sure that self-employed people or other independent workers could apply for loans or grants from the Small Business Administration. But there was one very specific ― and puritanical ― exception: legal sex workers and others in the adult entertainment industry.

The very first page of the online application says that in order to be an “eligible entity” that can receive monetary relief from the bill, an applicant cannot “present live performances of a prurient sexual nature or derive directly or indirectly more than de minimis gross revenue through the sale of products or services, or the presentation of any depictions or displays, of a prurient sexual nature.”

Prurient, which is defined by Oxford as “having or encouraging an excessive interest in sexual matters,” is a vague categorization that broadly includes thousands of workers in the U.S. As stated, the clause excludes everyone who works in the legal (and, worth noting, booming) sex industry including strippers, porn performers, producers, directors, sex toy manufactures and many others. It’s unclear whether this clause includes other professions that don’t explicitly deal in the sex industry, but do cover subjects that are of a “prurient sexual nature” such as sex therapists and authors of erotica novels

The restriction against prurient businesses receiving federal disaster funds dates back to 1995 when the Clinton administration helped define the SBA’s eligibility rules and regulations. The SBA determined that it would exclude small businesses that engage in “lawful activities of an obscene, pornographic or prurient sexual nature,” according to the initial proposal.
