  1. This is the most ridiculous thing ever, and I really don't want to wade in. But, sigh, Biden had a broken foot and boot on his leg until recently. Not exactly shocking it might give out when walking up stairs.
  2. Why do you think there's only one "motivating factor" or that to the extent there was "sex addiction" that at all negates the racism? Regardless of whether this guy was an incel, sexually frustrated, etc., he chose to target Asian women for his killing spree. And evangelical shitheadery may have also contributed, both to his fucked up views of women and also fucked up views on race.
  3. I love how the right wing takes everything awful trump says completely out of context, ignoring all the other shit he's done. It's like saying someone didn't try to rob a bank just because he asked for ten thousand dollars because there's nothing illegal about asking for money, while ignoring the gun he had aimed at the teller.
  4. Per White House spokesman under trump and public financial disclosures, it's true. https://www.washingtonpost.com/investigations/supreme-court-nominee-brett-kavanaugh-piled-up-credit-card-debt-by-purchasing-nationals-tickets-white-house-says/2018/07/11/8e3ad7d6-8460-11e8-9e80-403a221946a7_story.html
  5. I give it 1/3. At best. He's obese, doesn't exercise, enjoys a diet of Big Macs, and hasn't been able to string a coherent sentence together in years. He probably abuses uppers and lives off rage and grievance. He'll be dead by 2022.
  6. She is vile. Wright said she was “attacked,” described her belief in a “Plandemic” — a reference to a widely shared, misinformation-filled video — and compared mask requirements to the way that Nazi Germany forced Jewish people to identify themselves with a Star of David.
  7. It must be mortifying for you that your guy lost to a dementia victim and that the dotty old man has approval numbers 20 to 30 points higher than your dude depending on which poll you’re looking at.
  8. This. They need to pass HR-1 quickly. And the margin in the Senate is too narrow. If they delay a few months, what happens if, say, Leahy gets sick and is replaced by the GQP governor of VT?
  9. You're aware there are five times more white drug users than black drug users in the US, but blacks comprise 62.7% of all prisoners convicted on drug charges? And you're ok with that? https://www.hrw.org/legacy/reports/2000/usa/Rcedrg00.htm
  10. Had some good nostalgia moments and I've wasted 90 minutes on far worse.

    you have yet to point to anything that supports your original statement lie that Democratic policies and platforms are not supported by a majority of Americans. You've only said that you believe a majority of Americans are wrong.

    Covid relief bill 76% support https://morningconsult.com/2021/02/24/covid-stimulus-support-poll/ Green New Deal 58% support https://www.dataforprogress.org/the-green-new-deal-is-popular Medicare for All 69% support https://thehill.com/hilltv/what-americas-thinking/494602-poll-69-percent-of-voters-support-medicare-for-all Raising the minimum wage to $15 per hour has 67% support. https://www.pewresearch.org/fact-tank/2019/07/30/two-thirds-of-americans-favor-raising-federal-minimum-wage-to-15-an-hour/ Giving Dreamers legal status 78% support https://americasvoice.org/press_releases/daca-poll-roundup-overwhelming-and-consistent-support-for-dreamers-and-daca-in-poll-after-poll/ National mask mandate 75% support https://thehill.com/hilltv/what-americas-thinking/526175-poll-75-percent-of-voters-support-a-national-mask-mandate Edit to add: I even included the Dem positions that are considered left wing of the party such as Green New Deal and Medicare for All, and even they got over 50% support

    Cuomo

    So the same people who thought it was fine that trump deferred on invoking the DPA because Covid was primarily hitting blue states including NY at the time, are suddenly concerned about New Yorkers dying from Covid? Or who voted for a man accused of 20 plus sexual assaults are worried about sexual harassment? Given that y'all clearly don't actually give a flying fuck about either liberals dying from Covid or women who are sexually harassed or assaulted, why should anyone want to listen to your rantings about Cuomo? And to be clear, I think Cuomo did a shit job, and that he should resign. But the GOP has lost absolutely all of its moral authority and the people who are fine with lying about Jewish space lasers, immigrants being the cause of spread of Covid, and that the unenacted Green New Deal caused Texas to lose power need to shut the fuck up.
  14. Amazon just released this a few hours early.
  15. I for one am outraged that Dr. Seuss' heirs will no longer make money off sales of this fine work of literature, vital for all children to read.
  16. Probably not. But if they start spreading variants that the vaccine doesn't offer full protection against, eventually it'll get to the city. Their vaccinated kids who live in Austin or NYC will visit them, contract a variant, take it back to the city.
  17. I hope this is right. But what about the variants? It's not like there's a wall between rural and urban America. What happens when the antimaskers start spreading the variants? This may ruin 2021 and 2022 for all of us.

    Lol. I've been waiting to what about the people who what abouted Hillary for four years to excuse vile behavior. What abouting is giving me great joy right about now,
  19. Caveat, I haven't listened to NPR since Covid began and I'm not commuting . But I don't think the message is that people of color need more assistance. It's that people of color are more likely to not receive appropriate medical care than white people. Hell, infant mortality for blacks in the US is more than double for whites. And there's plenty of anecdotal stories and hard evidence of disparities in care. Eg., black person goes to the ER acting strange and is treated as a psychiatric case, instead of testing for stroke. There are huge disparities in how health care is administered depending on the race of the patient in the US. It's not that race is determinative of outcomes, but your race makes you far more likely or less likely to be taken seriously by medical providers.
  20. I'll believe this goes anywhere when I see it. Cyrus Vance already dropped a prosecution into Ivanka after trump's lawyer bribed him.
  21. Even if you're a psychopath and are fine with people dying to save some money, how much is repairing all the broken pipes, etc. going to cost? And are the financial costs of these massive repairs really less than paying to winterize the infrastructure?
