Trump calls for a rally in DC on the day of the certification to "save America" where he -for the millionth time - cements his claims of election fraud and actively tells the crowd to "fight to stop the steal"...and riots break out, with rioters attempting to force their way into the Capitol? Who could have possibly seen this coming?

Three loving cops without riot gear prevented a force of over 800 QAnon/Neonazi shitheads from entering the Reichstag a couple months back and there was no early notice of potential riots whatsoever and no event of relevance happening. How is it possible that the building of government in the US can be breached by unarmed rioters on a day of utmost significance after there were CLEAR AND CONSTANT indicators that there was a potential for violence loving how

I was doing celebratory drinking with a friend of mine over the Georgia victory and we watched the first 10 minutes of Trump's embarrassing speech for "shits n giggles" while having a couple of beers more. This is so bad that both of us put our beers away like an hour ago. I'm gonna try to force myself to sleep because I have no nerve left to contemplate this bullshit.

pantslesswithwolves posted:Man. “Emotionally hungover” doesn’t even begin to describe how I feel right now. It’s worse than being actually hungover. I'm in the same camp. I somehow made the mistake of "letting down my guard" slowly over time since the election, and was lulled into a false sense of "security" with every additional court loss of Trump (quotation marks because the next four years aren't exactly going to be peachy), so yesterday just really blew my lights out. I'm still so extremely disgusted by what transpired yesterday, and it wasn't made better by watching a bunch of Republicans spouting absolutely deplorable lies and rhetoric on the chamber floor earlier. I know we've all suffered from "Trump fatigue" to some extent, and I'm - to this loving day - infuriated by his support of actual swastika-bearing Neonazis at Charlottesville, but I don't know if I can move past this unless there are severe consequences for Trump from this. Yeah, I know, nothing matters and whatnot, but for him to be allowed to ride out the last two weeks of his term after putting the cherry on top of his fascist Sundae just feels inexcusable and beyond redemption for me. I'm in a spiral of anger and disappointment, and I'm dealing with it by daytime-drinking and preparing a massive gift-shipment to my friends in Korea for therapeutic purposes. Also, therapeutic jerky

At the very least, I recall this exact thing happening - albeit on a lower level - in the Carrier PBS series, where the rising star PO (or CPO) in charge of the SAVI counseling sexually assaults some lower-enlisted crew member, who is then pressured to say that it definitely wasn't rape because that would "ruin a good man's career".

Found the hottest take on Facebook from some kid I met while in the US, that decided to come out as a full Trump supporter just before the election. Key points he chose to advertise over the past three months: - systemic racism doesn't exist - BLM is for-profit - there is definitely a history of voter fraud in the US - news networks don't decide elections and it's always been this way - the allegations of voter fraud in the 2020 election are valid and need to be adjudicated by the courts *cases get thrown out* - this wasn't about voter fraud, this was about due process and the allegations of "irregularities" are valid and need to be adjudicated by the courts *cases get thrown out* - the election isn't over until the states certify the votes and it's always been this way *states certify the votes* - the election isn't over until congress certifies the electoral votes and it's always been this way *congress certifies votes after an attempted coup* - BLM protesters are no different from the capitol protesters And now, this:  I think he's on some kind of a race to the bottom or something.

My state ordered mandatory wearing of FFP2-masks starting Monday in public transportation and all retail stores. Infections have been coasting at a somewhat-lower-than-35,000 new infections per day with "only" around 25k, while deaths are still around 1200. Price of those things is currently hovering around 3 Euroubles apiece, and since in winter conditions, you would need two per day as per the use recommendation, that runs you about 120 bucks apiece per month if you're a commuter that also enjoys being able to buy groceries, nevermind families with kids above the age of 14. The state is handing out 5 free masks to 500,000 people "in need", which is probably not even get them through half a month, so this is gonna suck for a whole lot of people.

Platystemon posted:I know that hindsight is 6/6, but this is the sort of policy that was needed from the beginning, or rather, before the beginning. That would have never worked, though. We were nowhere near the stockpile or production capacity to even supply healthworkers with enough FFP2, let alone N95 during the first six months of the pandemic. Some plan should have definitely been cooked up to a) keep increasing production capacity high before the second wave and b) supplying - or at the very least subsidizing - the populace with FFP2 masks so that the fall and winter ramp-up of the infection numbers could have been stifled by some measure. But alas, Europe was sucking it's own dick so hard after getting control of the first wave that we told ourselves that our superior contact tracing would just let us casually hit the on/off button on regional lockdowns for containment in the second wave. Incredibly large sigh goes here.

Platystemon posted:I don’t mean from before the beginning of the current wave, I mean from well before SARS‐CoV‐2 infected human hosts. Oh, I didn't mean it would have never worked before the second wave, because it absolutely could have. I'm saying mandatory FFP2 masks would have never worked at the beginning of the first wave, let alone before it...again, because of stockpile and production. I agree that it would have been better if we had had massive stockpiles in the hundreds of billions, as well as the capacity to match that, but I just don't see it as having been realistic before this pandemic. What I absolutely do see as having been realistic before the pandemic would be to at least have stockpiles large enough to sustain a somewhat reasonable time frame to supply the medical community and not running right the gently caress out on day ten or so due to the public completely depleting stockpiles and (primarily foreign) production capacity. We've had enough scares over the last 20 years with SARS and MERS and whatever other popular name virus that should have alerted us to do at least that, but I don't see how anyone would have planned for supplying the entire population with masks for 12+months when they barely even planned for supplying the medical community with sufficient PPE. What would really have alleviated the supply shortages is if we had had a culture shift in the last 20 years where you mask up in public if you're sick, period. Even Korea had mask supply shortages, but at least they have like 200+ mask manufacturers nationwide that had capacity and ability to ramp up output, so when the government stepped in to purchase and redistribute the majority of the production, the country faced MUCH less of an impact than literally every western nation that pretty much imports the majority of its masks from China. In Europe, the situation was pretty much "no, no, don't buy masks, use cloth masks" (which, unfortunately, was really the only option) while scalpers were rolling in literal piles of cash.

German Federal government is seriously discussing (i.e. government statements have already been issued, which generally happens as an early-warning) shutting down public transportation and long-distance travel for individual states with high infection rates. Considering how hard everyone loves to nibble on the big ol' economy-Schwanz, that's actually a huge indicator of how shitlessly-scared our politicians are of the two new mutations that have found their way to Germany now. Speaking of new mutations, what's the US policy for incoming travelers? Mandatory tests are already happening, I assume, but are people tested for the UK/RSA-strain already? Because over here, only 0,5% of all administered tests check for the new mutations, and the extrapolated infection rate is pretty alarming.

Acebuckeye13 posted:I mean, that was the context of the original 2K check position and legislation, raising the proposed $600 stimulus to $2000. It was only three weeks ago! (Even if it feels like a lifetime after, well, everything). That's how I understood it as well. But how I understood it doesn't really matter. If the messaging was understood as "2,000 check" instead of "we'll top up the 600 to 2,000" (and - in some cases apparently - clearly "you'll get a 2,000 check come next year" or whatever), then you hosed up on messaging and that's kinda a bullet you need to bite in that case.  But how about we don't tear ourselves to shreds about it? Be excellent to each other, and maybe we can make this year at least feel less poo poo than the last one?
