There's a very peculiar belief in the US that I never really can understand the basis for that just assumes that for some never-defined structural reason, things like vote fraud or election fuckery, paid plants (whether in protests or in the various public places where discussions happen, from literal town halls to academia to online forums) and the like just can not possibly exist here. It's an insane supposition because those things have all been literal constants throughout human history in every society and I've certainly never heard an even remotely compelling case for why the US would somehow be immune to those things.

I don't think we're going to have a war with either one, especially with Trump being Putin's puppet. Also, both China and Russia have nukes, so there's that small caveat.

I'm amazed that Trump has apparently memorized the seat count of one of his restaurants. Failing that, he was at least able to make up a random three digit number.

Forget what the government says, how many people are going to be comfortable sitting in a packed restaurant or crowded theater in the next few months? Bars and sports stadiums are probably the only things that bounce back to normal in an instant.

You know I used to chuckle at the old "Obama should tell conservatives to breathe so they all asphyxiate" bit, but it has been really shocking to see the right just take up the idea that they should not breathe without any prompting. Almost like everything they do is anathema to life and now that normal people are all in on wanting to live they're just like gently caress it, "I'd rather die than support the normal biological functions of the human body which the democrats love sooo much."

This is like one of those sitcoms where a character lies, and then something occurs that could expose the character’s lie. So the episode is just a pile of mounting lies as the character tries in vain to keep the truth from being revealed. Except in those we didn’t have 35,000 people die in two months. Well, except maybe Full House.
