  1. To be fair - I'm at the point where it's fuck everyone who carried on this summer like normal. We knew school and sports were coming and yet we still carried on like there was nothing going on, knowing full god damned well that if the numbers were anywhere close to high, things were gonna be fucked up this fall. And yet, away they went on trips and hanging out with friends and family they don't live with. Fuck em. They caused this shit - that ain't on the government, that's on fuckers that know god damned well what's coming and played ostrich and will now piss and moan like 2 year olds when shit gets shut down again, just like in the late spring. Thanks, fuckers.
  2. New York - 79 deaths per 100k New Jersey - 177 deaths per 100k Lombardy Italy - 168 deaths per 100k
  3. You mean the states that got hit hard with a novel virus first were less capable of taking care of patients than states that got hit later? Amazing info!
  4. You know, I'm usually of a local control kind of guy. I think we should have strong hot spot rules, like he's already done with hospitals and elective surgery. But I don't trust all those officials to do the right thing, hell, I can't even trust the governor to do the right thing. We've already had sheriffs come out and say f your state executive order, I'm not enforcing that. And as far as I can tell, there's nothing that can be done to force them to enforce it outside of the ballot box. The governor doesn't have any power to compel another elected official to do his job besides bullying him.
  5. It's weird how a bunch of them focus on the death rate, and completely avoid the current hospitalization disaster and then the ongoing symptoms that some people are experiencing. Like - to them as long as you didn't die, it wasn't bad. Nevermind you may spend quite some time in a hospital or dealing with this shit for months (maybe longer).
  6. Mark Geragos talked about some lawyer he knew in Cali that won a $1 for his indigent client. And somehow that meant since the lawyer won, he got to bill the state for all his time spent or something. Memory is fuzzy but I think it was in one of his Reasonable Doubt podcasts a couple weeks back.
  7. 2020 Festival Canceled (Wurstfest) I don't really get this one - it's after the election. That's when this thing is just gonna disappear, they keep saying.
  8. I think Abbott is out to piss off everyone in the state. TABC reverses new guidelines, forces breweries to close patios again TABC created an option for temporary license modifications to allow breweries to exclude the patio and outdoor beer gardens from their on premise license - so you could purchase the beer inside, then take it outside to drink. Then last night they reversed that and said they can't do that. Jesus fucking christ, figure it out. Really, go either way, but this bouncing back and forth within the same week is insane.
  9. Compared to his immediate predecessor, he's pretty good. I love how hated he is by the republicans in that state - he's a fairly conservative democrat, I'd have problems voting for him for his abortion views.
  10. Good news, I never approved of him. Now he's lost his conservative buddies too because they view him as a RINO. I think it took him too long to do what he's done and hasn't gone far enough. They think he's gone way too far. And funny, greggy is in the middle getting pummelled.
  11. That article has great data and visualization.
  12. Hell, forget surge. If we stay anywhere close to where we are now and we get a decent flu season, we are fucked. And Flu season is coming up quick. This is what those retards don't understand - we have hospital beds available now, because the governor stopped elective surgery in some areas. We can't get back to normal as it is right now. And the flu that they talk about being bad - just wait kiddies. When you get covid + flu hitting our health system, that's not gonna be a good thing.
  13. What legislation - help me out here? We still have a republican senate and house that are pissed that Abbott has gone too far. So, exactly what legislation would these people that think he's gone too far create? And nevermind that the governor sets the special session agenda - so it'd still be him controlling what they discuss. I get wanting to have more heads looking at it, but those heads are f'ed up, so I don't see how that's an improvement.
  14. What is it about the Texas republicans continually electing carpetbaggers to their highest offices? Danny Goeb Ken Paxton Allen West The list goes on and on. A red state of 29,000,000+ and they keep bringing in carpetbaggers. What's up?
  15. I like that the new deflection is to focus on how since 1/1, the Covid death rate per 100k in New York is much worse than Florida, Texas, Arizona, etc. Uhm yeah, I wonder if the doctors maybe learned something in New York that the southern states are now using to reduce the death rate. Whatever makes you sleep better, I guess, but feels like we might be trying to hide the fact that Florida and Texas are currently a dumpster fire.
  16. What would a special session accomplish? That would just turn into a shit show, and probably with less restrictions than what we currently have, which is not a good thing. Executive Orders are the right way, at this time, to do restrictions etc. Also note there are legislators and staffers not sure we will even have a regular session starting in January.
  17. They should also take not that it won't be at the Capitol as the grounds and building are currently off limits except to elected officials and staff.
  18. That was also a virus that our president and government completely fucked up their response to. Actually fits perfectly.
  19. And everybody keeps going to Nueces County beaches, further spreading their ick, because... fuck if I know.
  20. I hate Trump and he didn't even make fun of my drug addicted crazy wife.
  21. I'd eat a metric ton of those louisiana tacos.
  22. Then why did he join the lawsuit from the kill em guy? That doesn't make any sense.
  23. There's no way the Texas GOP actually wants to hold this in person. I'd fucking call their bluff. And - they seriously did not have a plan B that was an online convention, like the Democrats did at the beginning of June? Like they see worldwide pandemic and just steam roll ahead with in person convention and don't even make a backup plan? I underestimate how dumb they are.
