Alright, here's the explanation I was looking for. https://twitter.com/COVID19Tracking/status/1283521695031033856 It's absolutely, positively possible the HHS will try to bury the data, but our poo poo is such a tangled clusterfuck of states with different systems that they basically can't completely bury the information.

They don't need to bury it though, they just need to obfuscate it enough that the right wing talking point machine can create a competing narrative for people to latch onto. "Oh, your data shows a spike in [hospital/city/state]? Well the official numbers say otherwise. Your numbers clearly include people who died of perfectly natural causes like the flu and being a minority in the vicinity of police, they're just inflating the numbers to make Trump look bad."

What are they going to do, reveal that the entire industry is a grift-circus that preys on minorities, distracts from social responsibility, and is guilty of exploiting local governments for special favor that is rarely (if ever) demonstrated to help local people or economies but instead shifts normal costs of an entertainment business to externalities that fall upon the pubic to shoulder--all without the societal and cultural benefits of and, actually at the expense of, the arts?

I’m Jewish and I don’t get this trend where saying anything other than good things about a Jewish person or organization is anti-semitism. Like, anyone criticizing Israel is an anti-Semite according to a lot of my fellow Jews and it boggles my mind. There’s real anti-semitism out there, and it deserves to be called out.

Senior people in player personell and i believe the GM himself were let go or left. This is 30 days out from the supposed begining of training camp where turning over the bottom half of your roster to find talent is a huge part of the process of putting together an NFL team. you need to identify players who are scheme and character fits and its hard to do when you just fired the people who are most familiar with the landscape of the league

Typical that the Caucasians wouldn't field an all white team. I mean, who's white on that team. The kicker? A couple of linemen and backs? Did they land Bobby Boucher? I haven't watched football in a while, it's below Ancient Aliens in terms of viewing priority. Below even Adam Sandler movies. It's going to be something dumb like the Washington Americans or Heroes or boot camp basic bitch names like Warriors. I want them to name the team Washington's Wooden Dentures.

Bored As gently caress posted:Really good video and article on why we need to be wary about The Lincoln Project. I think I was one of the first regular posters ITT to start pushing the Lincoln Project videos here. I don't do it anymore, because a lot of people don't like them, but I want to make a couple of points. I know who they are, and what they've done in the past, and what they are going to do once things align in a way they like. The reason I like what they are doing right now is that Trump is unique in US presidential history, in that he is so psychologically and emotionally stunted and weak, that he feels insulted by things people post on twitter, things people say in interviews, etc. With any other president or even presidential candidate in history, the current LP approach simply does not work, because you just don't dignify it with a response, you just don't pay any attention to it. You never let on that it bothers you, but Trump isn't like that, and this is further evidence of just how unsuited he is for this job. I think it was Hillary who said early on "anyone who can be baited by a tweet has no business being president", and she was right. He's been getting baited and insulted on twitter by everyone for years now, and responding to it. I like the LP ads that call him personally weak, unsound, easily manipulated, and owned, because I know he sees them and it cuts him to the quick. These are the equivalents of personal attacks on a message board, against a troll, except in this case it works against the president of the United States, and it leaves a mark. These kinds of personal attacks that affect him are also exactly what the Democrats have never done to anyone in my lifetime, and I feel no Democrats will ever do in my lifetime, because Democrats are all about "decorum" and playing the game the right way. Dems are traditionally weak and spineless. They have been since the first election I voted in (Bush41 vs Dukakis), and little has changed in the years since. The Republican party, and especially the Trump Republican party, doesn't adhere to these norms and traditions, and while I don't think of LP as allies per se, it does my heart good to see them target Trump's well-documented insecurities and his ego. And the Dems simply are not going to go there. If the Biden campaign does start producing similar ads, I will say I was wrong, I will admit to it ITT. I just do not think that is ever going to happen. Not only with Biden but with any Dem campaign any of us will ever see in our lives. In my perfect world we wouldn't need never-Trumper republicans to do this job, but in real life it seems we do. They are also attacking the Republican senators who voted against impeachment, knowing exactly what this guy was and what he was all about, and republican members of the house who've aided and abetted the crime spree. I am all for that, also. The rot is deep, and there are a lot of republican congressmen who have gone along with Trump and need to be made to pay for it. Most of those people are more intelligent than Trump, and not as insecure, but it can have an impact just because of the rank, fetid Trump reek they all carry on their persons now. I'm not going to post their videos here anymore, but I am definitely going to watch them and push them elsewhere, because I think those videos and others like them are some of the sharpest, deepest-cutting anti-GOP weapons in the fight now. And another four years of Trump as president and (R) majority Senate will not be survivable for this country.

It's true that more people should make attack ads that just repeat "no balls tiny hands man" over and over but it's also true that Ben Howe loves publicly sharing his fantasies of murdering black children, so the insults feel a little different coming from him.

No matter what the Redskins story is, I think the best policy and mindset to have, is gently caress the NFL, in general. They spent millions for years to suppress lawsuits and avoid any public talk of TBIs, going so far as to say "gently caress you, you have your pension" in response to early attempts at class-action lawsuits by players starting in the late 90s. Ultimately, they were undone in their efforts to stifle those complaints due to... 9/11. Who could have seen that coming?!? The huge numbers of GWOT-related TBIs and the resulting studies and awareness of their effects, in the end forced the NFL to publicly admit for the first time in history, and after years of legal battles to avoid it, the mere *existence* of football-related TBIs, over a decade later, in 2016. What a great concession. Way to go, NFL! They still to this day work hard to avoid paying people for the repercussions of TBIs, due in no small part to the efforts of Roger Goodell, who I maintain is the greatest all-time oval office in the history of sports league commissioners. And they still take a large amount of money from the DOD to allow military-related pregame activities like color guards and flyovers. Because in a sports league that profits off of lies and misrepresentation, what better sponsor than another organization that does the same! I have no issue with the concept of personal responsibility, as in "you choose this life, here's what can happen" but the NFL in general and Goodell in particular are deceitful, cowardly, and reprehensible. As is the US military. The Redskins team name issue is a woke sideshow; gently caress the NFL in general, all of its executives on every team, and its very existence.
