Good thing you mentioned this, as a resident of Atlanta who voted and got him in last year(you're welcome). Democrats currently have less than a few months, assuming that if it passes someone will challenge it in court preventing it from going through so it needs to get settled in the court, to protect Warnock by passing the John Lewis voting rights act. Without which the following seats will probably flip red and never go blue again.... Governor. State legislature in a red district Senate House in a red district Basically the only positions in this state with any sort of actual power besides mayor of Atlanta.

Does Donald Trump really think he could win after losing the incumbency? Better question- Could he?

Unless the economy gets vastly better for working people in the next two years or Trump keels over I think him coming back is likely.

I hope we primary out all the Dems who are doing nothing to codify abortion or voting rights, but echoing what has been said re: how are we protecting democracy keeping in the people who have done very little to protect it with all the levers of power currently held by them?

I also imagine he and his lackies have been drawing up exactly how they are going to proceed, based on what the speed bumps and obstructions were during the first tern. The dems are awful but the right are literally sharpening their knives. All of this is to day that the Dems are not the solution in their current iteration, but their absence from government would be calamitous.

Although it would be peak USA if some kid got expelled for doodling about 410,757,864,530 DEAD COPS A timeline revision is that the bullet-googling was a day before the shooting, then the "holy poo poo your kid needs counseling" "lol no he doesn't" *blam blam blam* "hey where's my gun" "don't do it son" day took place.

Odd Q - does anyone know how I can go about getting a copy of a map from my time in Iraq? I remember the page designator, but can't get google to help me. Probably because I a mentally deficient, but still good looking. The season opener of Always Sunny was executed to perfection, and was a fun version of the 2020 Timeline. McNabb>Stallone.

MazelTovCocktail posted:https://www.nytimes.com/live/2021/1...ientists-report The other variants carried degrees of reinfection risk and omicron is apparently significantly more capable of reinfecting hosts who had a previous covid infection. Widely spreading omicron is not going to confer widespread immunity. It's going to blast through "already had it so I'm good" chuds and "usually mask and distance but just so tired!" libs alike. It remains to be seen whether vaccines will save us. Maybe I'm wrong and you should ignore my unrepentant doomerism or perhaps I've just missed your point, but the idea that the even more infectious, even more antibody evading variant is going to be a "good thing" doesn't make sense unless you are assuming corona is a disease that you can get over and become immune to (it hasn't been so far). I'd assume the opposite: that a whole lot of lung soup death is knocking on our door right now.

Well I meant more in the sense that dominant strain would no longer be Delta and (would hopefully) be something less worse. We could actually have a variant that spreads very easily, but with a less severe version of Covid (in terms of sickness and mortality). I mean the worst thing would be something deadly like Ebola, but didn't burn through people until 2-3 weeks vs what it does in reality.

So it's highly infectious, and possible against vaccines, has anything about the lethality rate or the most common outcomes (ie mild, bad, lots of vents)?

Thank you both I appreciate the links and info. My kids finally got their second dose this Monday and I’m just worried about this so much now. One of the reasons is I’ve seen a lot more breakthrough cases recently. Now I don’t mean that to be statistical, it’s just anecdotal, but that’s enough to get me worrying.

We’ve been putting a lot of effort into keeping our kid uninfected, and now that he’s finally vaccinated this omicron bullshit drops. I’m hopeful that it doesn’t turn out to be as bad as some people are claiming, but skeptical that it’s as harmless as others are insisting. Luckily as Xmas celebrators we have some time to wait for more actual data to become available before we have to make a decision about seeing family, so it could be worse.

Y'all did the right thing because the *early* thing about Omicron *appears* to be that it doesn't give a gently caress if you had wild/alpha/delta, but vaccines still knock it down a ton. Again, just wait a few weeks, but good on you for getting your kids vaccinated. They're a lot better off than they would be otherwise. And it sure seems that the shooterparents are either lying to their lawyer, the lawyer is lying to everyone else, or nobody gives a gently caress about the "they're going to turn themselves in tomorrow" horseshit: https://twitter.com/USMarshalsHQ/status/1466895351139479564
