More proof Dem partisans are just as evil as Trumpists.

Florida reported 2,851 new cases yesterday.

Good. The more overwhelmed hospitals, the better for Biden.

Let’s not draw conclusions about half the country from one person.

As soon as one of Del Tachi/GreenLine/Dead0/Bandit/ExtremeRep apologize for having downplayed the virus for months and having been complicit in the endorsement of dangerous behavior during a pandemic, I will apologize for my “horrible” statement if it makes Atlas feel better.

Until then, I don’t care, because what I said was morally dubious and extreme, but it was still nothing compared to the months of downplaying and sheer stupidity we have seen on this blog.

You can have differing opinions on whether lockdowns/closures are a good option or not, but you can’t deny basic facts about the virus, and endorse dangerous and unnecessary behavior during this time.

What I said was wrong, but it pales in comparison to what has been said by so many for months.

Thank you for posting directly into the thread.

Americans are inherently stupid and on top of that uneducated.

This whole practice of calling people who don’t support your preferred political candidates or policies some negative quality (generally either stupid, bigoted, or both) can go away anytime now.

And in case you think this is just limited to liberals:

Dumbass wine moms.

He didn't get 306. Trump won

Alabama made it clear it didn't want any qualified candidate. It wanted a candidate to match their intellect.

I don't disagree, but this creates an asymmetrical situation where those public officials who want  Covid Safety practices have to abide by them, while those who don't are free to do what they like.

I think this creates a perverse incentive that needs to be eliminated and the way to do that is that when hospital resources are scarce (like now) those who argued against public safety rules should go to the back of the line for health treatment.  As one prominent medical ethicist argues 'If people want to argue 'give me liberty or give me death' they should be held to it.  They shouldn't be able to turn around and say 'liberty didn't work out so now give me a ventilator.''

Most likely the comment is too sophisticated for your tiny mind to understand.

Covid was a deliberate out-of-the-lab attack by Jeff Bezos (Amazon) and/or China, to catch 2 flies with one swat: the defeat of Trump and the destruction of the US local economy (Chinas interest) and the destruction of small, local retailers (Bezosˋ interest) which resulted in a massive boost of online sales, increasing Bezosˋ wealth even more.

Trump wins all of his 2016 states and Harris gets remembered as the worst VP pick in American history

Ever heard of Spiro Agnew?

Looks like she was made in a Fox News bimbo factory.

Sexism is OK as long as progressives do it.

You can just type 'incels'. It's a lot shorter than "young conservatives".

I don't know what Netroots is, or why they would incite.

Netroots Nation, the leftwing version of CPAC.....

It's very anti Bernie.

Most welfare programs don't have dress codes at all, I see no reason why this one should continue to do so.

I’m glad to see socialists supporting workfare.

No, that would imply they do some work or contribute in some way.

Sorry for the double post but this one is too terrible not to post.

Actually just include everything he and John Dule said in that entire thread.

Says the guy quoting Mitch McCocaine about "adhering to the constitution" in his signature. How dare I not worship our brave troops while you celebrate a guy who shut down the government because his coke dealing father in law wasn't getting enough tax breaks? You are not just a clown, you're the entire circus.

The fact that you’ve gone so far left that you end up agreeing with conspiracy theorist Don Blankenship’s totally baseless and ridiculous accusations against the Chao family is a great example of horseshoe theory. Thank you for posting that directly into this thread.

Torture vs. a concert by one of the greatest musical artists of his genre and generation?

Gee, tough question.

Now if it was an emo band, on the other hand...

There is no such option on this poll. There is an option though for an "artist" from a "genre" that is absolute f[inks]ing trash and has produced about as much content as artistic merit as Donald Trump's pre-Presidential career.

The only poster on this forum who has good memes is John Dule.

What if there was no George Floyd but COVID or vise versa?

The two are related.  Without COVID, you wouldn't have tens of millions of Americans sitting idle, binging 16 hours of cable news/social media every day, not able to go out and do the things that normally keep them occupied (i.e., work, school, church, gym, visiting family, going to restaurants/bars, etc.)  That sort of society-wide lethargy is a powder keg for unrest.  The George Floyd protests were so huge mostly because of the COVID lockdowns.

COVID was the most animating event of the past twenty years, and it wasn't even a singular event - it was (and is continuing) to get rehashed day-in-and-day-out by a rent-seeking public health intelligentsia helped by their friends in a profit-maximizing media industry.  You can't separate anything that has happened since March 2020 from its omnipresence.

Del Taco has a very limited or non-existent grasp of how most Americans live. Which is kinda a foundational aspect of conservatism.

I think he has a point, though, in that last summer, the BLM protests were basically the only thing going on, so they got a ton of attention. There were NBA players that objected to restarting their season because they were concerned it would take attention off the protests, which corroborates this. I’ll ignore your dig at my ideology to say that.

Republicans are truly irredeemable trash. Jesus... failed social policy after another, and then blame the government they were in control of for why the results were atrocious. That's their playbook - govern poorly, or obstruct, then say it's because government can't work. And one idiotic half of this country will lap it up.

Half a million dead, but how would we live with ourselves if we'd made Home Depot close? sh**thole country.

I think all the blue avatars get the point by now that we, and the half of the country that calls themselves Republicans, are all stupid, despicable and morally bankrupt scum and you hate all of us. You can stop now.
