  1. I'd get a patch, sticker, coffee cup, or Tshirt from both @THUJONE and @RDCanecutter. $100 here
  2. Last May NPR examined COVID deaths per 100,000 people in roughly 3,000 counties across the U.S. from May 2021, the point at which most Americans could find a vaccine if they wanted one. Those living in counties that voted 60% or higher for Trump in November 2020 had 2.26 times the death rate of those that went by the same margin for Biden. Counties with a higher share of Trump votes had even higher mortality rates. The scale of the preventable loss of life is staggering. According to a recent analysis by Brown University, nearly 320,000 lives nationwide could have been saved if more people had chosen to get vaccinated. The Brown analysis also shows a partisan split in how those preventable deaths are distributed. States that went most heavily for Trump – including Wyoming and West Virginia – have among the highest rates of preventable deaths, while states that voted heavily for Biden – such as Massachusetts and Vermont – had among the lowest. https://www.npr.org/2022/05/19/1098543849/pro-trump-counties-continue-to-suffer-far-higher-covid-death-tolls And Monday The study collected weekly death counts, breaking down the deceased's party ties along with their county and age cohort. It used May 1, 2021, as a key dividing line because the date marks a month after all U.S. adults became eligible to receive shots of the COVID-19 vaccines. --- Things changed as the summer of 2021 approached. When coronavirus vaccine access widened, so did the excess death gap. In the researchers' adjusted analysis of the period after April 1, 2021, they calculated Democratic voters' excess death rate at 18.1, and Republicans' at 25.8 — a 7.7 percentage-point difference equating to a 43% gap. https://www.npr.org/2023/07/25/1189939229/covid-deaths-democrats-republicans-gap-study It all adds up. The GOP is dying faster than the Dems. The new voters are mostly Dems. They can make it harder to vote, but if you want to vote it's going to happen.
  3. Gosar continues to be an unrepentant POS.
  4. Add the years up. Look at the trends. Boebert won by a handful of votes. Wisconsin SC got swamped by kids. One year? Better count the stack
  5. Is this scary to them? I sure hope it is.
  6. Manufacturing 3 runs out of walks and sac fly.
  7. Oh so that's why they put "Work makes you free" over the gate.
