  1. Will government fix the Fox problem with a return to the Fairness Doctrine?   Doubtful.  Politics wont let that happen.  The solution is in the free market:

    Fox News channel is valued around $10B. 

    Bloomberg blew $1B on worthless four month campaign.  Bezos has had earned about $33B (thus far) during Covid with constant criticism by Trump (such that Trump is ready to privatize postal service to spite Bezos).  

    America’s billionaire elite need to take one for the country.  Buy Fox and neuter the channel from the inside.  Compromise every member of on-air media with buy-outs and non-competes.  Take glee in slowly getting the olds to turn their opinion around with people shouting (Why don’t we have universal insurance when Germany does - we kicked their asses in the big one!). 

    Simultaneously, put some cash into salting the earth on OAN or whatever is next.

    This post made me want to tell you - try harder.  But I just kept reading.  Your next two posts . . . totally_redeemed_yourself.gif

    Was Trump's round of golf today with any of his sons? Legit asking.

    No shit this.  Father’s Day is to spend time with your kids - not to victory lap that your sperm made offspring.  Hopefully Bannon shot some hoops with his real dad.  Maybe Eric and Junior can get some reimbursement from pops for the therapy they need (but will never get)

  4. Why didn’t we see the same type of massive protests that we have had in response to George Floyd’s murder when we went through Colombine? Sandy Hook? Orlando nightclub? Virginia Tech? Mandalay Bay? Stoneman Douglas? Santa Fe High? Sunderland Springs? El Paso Walmart?  Countless others.

    We have seen public sentiment reach critical mass on racism.  It will reach critical mass on gun control soon.   It’s coming.  Second Amendment fans will wonder what happened to their stronghold on the issue and wonder how the change happened so fast.  Change is coming and the old NRA “slippery slope” argument for fighting tooth and nail against the slightest change is a loser bet.  These kids doing active shooter drills for the past few years protest and march their asses off, so I’m betting they are going to vote en mass as well.         

    If you are in the 2A camp, this is your window of action.  Don’t buy more guns.  Instead, put your money where your mouth is.  Invest in mental health with real treatment sponsorship.  Agree to  global background checks.  End gun show loopholes.  Meet reasonable legislation half-way.  Stand up for truth when nut jobs call the next Sandy Hook victims “actors.”  Stop the good guy with a gun fantasy play, and set up a fund for victims of random gun violence based on a voluntary fee when buying guns or ammo.  

    Change is coming.  Positive action.  By you.  Right now.  Is the only way to head off the kind of changes that you see as worst case scenario.

    As I told Brisket on the phone this morning, the Trump Presidency ended Monday evening.  He may still reside in the White House, but he has no legitimacy.  Anything he tries to do will be met with such blow-back that it'll have to be walked back.  And since it's now his defeat in November is becoming a foregone conclusion, he becomes ever more impotent.

    And that is actually really scary.

    You on the party line with Brisket, or is there a phone talkin’ club that the rest of us can’t join?

    Does Texas reap the benefits of this “windfall”?   I’m expecting magnified shades of Chicago 1968 and can’t imagine the amount of protests and tension NC is avoiding.  Thankful that SA mayor Ron Nirenberg said F-off to the R convention two years ago.

    With the way that fat fuck leans when he stands people should start taking pictures where it looks like they are holding him upright like the Leaning Tower of Pisa.

  8. I chose to put one of the posters on this thread on ignore six months ago.  Now that I revisit this thread, I’m aware that this poster only really posts on THIS thread.  This website contains multiple sections and subsections, but well played, comrade.

  9. But of course, mask wearing has become a culture war issue.  Wear a mask in close quarters?  Shit, I would rather kneel for the anthem.  My mask-free face is a symbol of my individuality and my belief in a personal freedom.

    It was easy to see it coming: Trump advised mask wearing when the recommendation started, but also went out of his way to state that he would certainly not be wearing one.  Pence tours a Covid ward and is the only person who can't be bothered to wear one.  Trump tours a mask factory, refusing to wear a mask.  Cities like San Antonio and Austin put teeth into mask ordinances, only to have Gov. Hot Wheels (after putting his finger in the air to see which way the conservative wind was blowing) completely gut local control by making it an unenforceable recommendation.  

    The new study from Austria shows that mask wearing reduces Covid transmission by 90%.  It should be an easy sell, Golden Rule issue for the already-vulnerable MAGA crowd.  But, they have confused something that is a minor inconvenience for the collective good with the concept of "fighting tyranny."

    Ask Mitch what exactly the "government" would have done differently if there had been no impeachment and trial.  Let's say it never happened.  How would things be different than they are today?  Because he was acquitted on February 5, and the timeline shows Trump didn't think much of COVID-29 after that.

    February 24:

    February 27:

    If Trump says these things, then 53 Senators agree, full-stop.  So again, Mitch, what would be different if the impeachment process was all a dream?

    Not. A. Damn. Thing.  

    again, he needs to be called out on these lies in real time.  the media needs to stop being respectful, because they sure as hell aren't treated with respect by Trump and his sycophants. 

    Counterpoint: if team (R) cared about the Constitution or country, we would have a more competent leader (not much, but definitely more) who would be a steadier hand in this debacle.  Pence would not have lead as many sheep over the misinformation cliff.  Instead, they traded our future on the 50/50 chance (at that time, less now) that they would hold onto their power.  That vote was our country’s turning point, not a distraction.

    But seriously. Fuck that carpetbagger in his fake Texan ass.

    True story:  People kept referencing "Lt. Dike" in their posts on this board, and every time I assumed they were referring to our own Danny Goeb, who is Lt. Governor and kinda looks like an elderly female lesbian.  Only today have I figured out the Band of Bros connection.

    The frank lack of testing availability combined with prolonged turnaround for results will probably pin the US as having the worst CFR's among advanced nations, all told.  Uncoupled from average case age or relative population health, I expect that countries like Germany and SoKo will have the best CFR's due to mass testing with rapid results turnaround and early initiation of treatment.  Germany was slower than expected to shut it all down, but they quickly ramped up testing and may have jumped fast with meds application. Again want to know more about the existence of GER rapid/early diagnosis linked to medication intervention.  We know SoKo has done a really good job with their testing program in every respect and they had med cocktails going from the jump likely due to learning what China was attempting through early collaboration.  Too soon to know, but watch for this.  Our national testing debacle is beyond deadly.

    Foreshadowing:  Early news - Chinese virus, wet market issues, I made jokes about “bat soup” on 1/19  (MLK weekend 2020) . . .  It was a story onTV then.

    The Setting: The moment in time that we rejected WHO tests, setting the course of a multi-week delay until CDC developed tests.

    Conclusion:   First Trump “daily” press conference - “We have 5 MILLION ‘Chinese virus’ tests rar’ing to go . . . and we will test err body”

    [Opie Cunningham / Narrator:   They didn’t . . .]

    Shocker / real story:  Why did we forego the WHO tests and decide that we would go our own way with new CDC tests?  Who was at that meeting?   What was the strategy?

    Prediction:  The journalist answering this issue wins the Pulitzer   (Quote me when this happens)

    That whole thread over on DT is political. It's comical.

    Maybe we need a code word language.  Like Chad Johnson on Hard Knocks:

    Child please = Trump is going to kill us all

    shiiiiit = a unified federal response would have shown real leadership

    say what? = where are the 4M tests that were coming 10+ days ago?

    Lulz. Way to go with this guy, GOP. 

     

    Soy bean welfare queens. 

    Meanwhile, think of how much money we are saving by cutting back on free/discounted school lunches for those little bastards ripping us off and scamming the system.  Pull yourselves up by your bootstraps, punks!
