31 days left in 2020, anyone want to make bets on what other stupid things will happen this year?

Already covered:
Record shattering hurricane season in the Atlantic (one town got in 2 warning cones at the same time!)
Leads to my favorite experience of the year,
evacuating from the NC Outer Banks during a
pandemic
(I called it the “coronacaine
clusterfuck”)
Record breaking wildfires (US and Aus, at the very least)
Mentioned earlier, but bears repeating: COVID
Kobe Bryant’s helo crash (that was January!)
We came close to war with Iran, repeatedly
US started aiding Taliban vs ISIL
Deaths of Chadwick Bozeman, John Lewis, Ruth Bader Ginsburg
CAROL loving BASKIN
George Floyd (and many others :( )
Election clusterfuck (senate control is still up in the air!)

What else have I missed?

Obligatory “John Oliver blows up 2020” video for everyone’s enjoyment:

Fearless predictions:


Dave Bowman's going to come back to Earth to warn us Jupiter is going to explode and create a second Sun, only this one will cause the heat death of the universe.

I can't wait to see what the chuds say if he pardons himself.

If he does, it's effectively an admission of guilt, which would mean he broke the law. If he doesn't, he can continue to claim innocence, but open himself to prosecution.

quote:

Reality check: Several allies who talk regularly to Trump told Axios they believe he'll announce for 2024, but ultimately not make the run because of what one Republican close to Trump called "hurdles he has never before experienced."

"I think he will have more trouble than he can begin to imagine," the Republican said. "No one is going to let him have a free pass in the primary."
"The only question left open is whether the media will give up their addiction to him or not — that will determine a great deal."

When Axios asked if that was a reference more to political trouble, financial trouble or legal trouble, the person replied: "Yes."

But announcing would complicate moves by 2024 rivals and would feed Trump his drug — coverage.

Is it even possible for the "LAMESTREAM MEDIA" to ignore Trump once he's out of office to stop him from getting his free publicity?

We have a family friend in the UK in his 80s who, to my amusement and relief, has been watching what's going on here with interest, hates the gently caress out of Trump, and keeps emailing us with curiosity as to how this election turned into a dumpster fire. I'm trying to answer his questions as best I can (based off summaries from facialimpediment et al) and he's asked about pardons. As best I can tell, the TL;DR at this point regarding pardons is:

-Trump can pardon himself and his shitspawn offspring but that doesn't remove them from state level scrutiny, of which there's enough to go around (maybe 60 indictments against :smugdon: himself in NY alone) and,
-Unless The Worst Timeline finds a way to continue (:ohdear:), there's a good chance Hair Fuhrer gets jail time and/or loses some or all of his bank-owned property starting 1/20/21 at 12:01pm.

Am I missing anything?

Donnie hosed up and didn't buy enough up-front, so Pfizer locked up deals with other countries and they're now basically tapped out. Knowing he hosed up and likely cared too much about reelection to think long-term (or at all), Donnie is going to sign an Executive Order "making Americans the priority". It will likely not carry any legal power and get tangled up in courts at best.

He put all his eggs into the vaccine basket and forgot to make the basket big enough.

There was one batch of Catholic schools in the town I grew up in, but most of the kids turned out normal. That said, there were rumors that they were partying at a college level (i.e., party favors vs. the typical high school drinking antics) and supposedly there was some sex games competition students secretly took part in senior year.

My boss is Catholic and, aside from having as many kids as possible, he's not too bad or overt about it.

Our former Administrative Assistant, however, was also Catholic, and Jesus Christ, I thought devout Christians were bad. This family and the people surrounding them were straight out of Central Casting: half the boys in their Inner Circle were named Joe or some derivative thereof, there was excessive gushing and pissing matches over Catholic schools they had to fork over thousands of dollars to attend and which one(s) they went to, there was in office coordination of fish fries during Lent, the boys all loved Notre Dame, and she hated Obama's guts.

I don't follow entertainment at all, I just remember seeing Amber Heard's claims of abuse met by "NUH-UH JOHNNY WOULDN'T DO THAT, YOU'RE THE ONE WHO DID THE VIOLENCE" on social media, which seems to run counter to the "support women who have been abused, violence against women isn't cool" train (which is the right one to ride).

I'm not sure how we recover from 1 in 1100 Americans dead, and by the time this is done, probably more like 1 in 800 Americans dead, because one of our two ruling parties decided that masks were tyranny, then marched armed around statehouses demanding that Americans be allowed to die because ____.

Like, how do we move past this? How do each of us personally forgive them for this poo poo, especially those who have lost someone?

I have this pit of anger and the worst my family has suffered is that I haven't seen my parents since last fall and we had to have a socially distanced graveside funeral service for my grandma (who died of being 96, not of covid) that my mom couldn't attend because she is immunocompromized.

It's because one of our two parties allowed a megalomaniac to rise to power and grab the entire Party by the balls to the point no one would stand up to him save for Mitt Romney for fear of being ruined by he and his cult, all the while allowing him to do irreparable damage to this country through horrible mismanagement of a pandemic and sowing distrust in the electoral system because he was afraid of losing (so he could have a boogeyman to blame if he did).

I think my favorite bit of cognitive dissonance from this whole shitshow is people saying that with record numbers of people voting (but only for trump) that its crazy how hard they had to work to steal the election. Its amazing doublethink that only one side of this could have shattered voting records in the country and all other votes are fake. But then again these are also the people who believe that trunp won last time even though there were 3 millions illegal votes cast against him so v0v

I went to a Trevor Noah show in 2018 and he had a bit about Trump, which drew boos from the crowd. His responses were "Don't boo, vote.", which led to applause, and something like "Whether you like him or not, Trump has created interest in politics unlike anything in recent memory".

In other words, a POTUS who, at that point, wasn't even halfway into his first term, had drawn such interest in government (and much of it was directly to counter him) that it was possible even then that millions of people would come out to vote against him. Give it a couple more years in which he was Impeached (and his party later admitted "yeah, he pretty much did it"), completely fumbled the response to a once-in-a-century pandemic by claiming it was a hoax, and stoked racial division reminiscent of 1968 and, much to his chagrin, people don't vote on who held the most rallies, but for other reasons such as "We don't want four more years of this rear end in a top hat".

Trump's not challenging ballots in states he initially trailed in but won because :lol:, why be consistent? The worst part is his followers, who held obnoxious poo poo like boat and truck parades, sincerely believe he had it stolen from him.
