Having long since gotten rid of the racists and chuds from my Facebook feed, I have been living in a bubble of reason and reality, breached only when a friend responds to a chud. Things I learned this morning about what they believe: - Sweden is still a model of COVID response. It doesn't matter that they had a much higher death rate than any of their neighbors and an economic collapse, the curve is decreasing which means they achieved herd immunity - The Democrats are trying to cover this up so America doesn't learn that we can beat the virus without the tyranny of masks and lockdowns This country is hosed.

Say hello to your new Undersecretary of Defense for Policy     Sorry, he's "acting deputy" in order to meet the requirements. In 90 days Trump can just move him to the position without the Senate this way.

The "so what" here: In ordinary times, Lacy Clay was fine. Votes right - supports Green New Deal, Medicaid for All, member of the Progressive Caucus, brings home the district bacon etc. But he was also a generic Progressive Democratic Politician. Voted the right way but didn't lead. Didn't bother to make connections with the actual voters because he was in a gerrymandered safe seat, so as long as he was in good with the Black Democratic establishment that his father had brought him into he had a cushy job for life. Made a deal with the state Republicans during redistricting to gerrymander a fellow Democrat's seat away to ensure that his was safe. So this isn't going to be a significant change in actual voting records, but the district is getting someone who might give a poo poo about constituents who aren't at fundraiser dinners and who might actually use her voice.

Georgia schools are not doing well. This went viral yesterday https://twitter.com/GAFollowers/status/1290703780670046209 The administration put this out saying that it's not what it looks like, before saying that yes it's exactly what it looks like https://twitter.com/Freeyourmindkid/status/1291137066500333571 Apparently requiring masks is a "personal decision" and mandating anything is just too hard. It's easy to suspend students and fire teachers who let the public know about this, though. https://twitter.com/Freeyourmindkid/status/1291128318834757635 https://twitter.com/Freeyourmindkid/status/1291204559931682816 This loving country.

Putin might make a move if he thinks things may end up tilting the country westward in any way. Man it's getting bad. Starting to look like America over there.

However, at the risk of being an curmudgeon, I can’t stand people pretending to “react” to things for YouTube views, which is what most of the videos in the category are. Yup, and the stupid over-the-top clown expressions they get.

AreWeDrunkYet posted:Because she's a cop, not in spite of it. This smells like typical Democrat "well, they can't attack us for being anti-police if we nominate a prosecutor" while Republicans will absolutely continue to attack them for being anti-police. There's a difference between "can't attack us" and "the attacks will not be credible." Like claims that Joe Biden is being possessed by the spirit of Bernie Sanders. That's an attack but nobody will buy it who isn't an OAN watcher already.

Let's be more specific about her comments quote:In recordings obtained by POLITICO, Greene described Islamic nations under Sharia law as places where men have sex with "little boys, little girls, multiple women" and "marry their sisters" and "their cousins." She suggested the 2018 midterms — which ushered in the most diverse class of House freshmen — was part of “an Islamic invasion of our government” and that “anyone that is a Muslim that believes in Sharia law does not belong in our government.”

They're not going to mention how they cost nothing to idle and that the machines were moved to the dumpster. This whole thing is either an ideological attack on a "bloated" government agency, or there's money to be made for Republican interests in DHL/UPS/FEDEX etc. Don't know quite yet, but it's there. The thing about voter suppression is that it suppresses votes.

LingcodKilla posted:Where are all these murdered and aborted babies coming from? Are they collecting jizz and just stretching the truth? A significant number of vaccines are produced using fetal cell lines from abortions in the 60s. Even the Vatican has said that the vaccines are far enough removed from the abortions that there is no moral problem, and also it's a moral imperative to get vaccinated in order to protect others.
