More and more I think that when the history of this period is written a few decades from now, assuming we haven't just cooked ourselves by then, the consensus is going to be that we've been in one uninterrupted political crisis at least since the 2000 election, and everything that's happening now is kind of the late stages of a domino effect that could only have been stopped years before now.

She absolutely should've stepped down when Dems had the Senate and the presidency, but let's be real, the central issue is the absolute dogshit constitutional system we have where an octogenarian guessing wrong about their health for the next four years has the potential to completely shift the balance of power for the next generation

Jesus fucking Christ

If you want to imagine a scenario where we're all driven insane (moreso than we are already) over the next 4 years, imagine Trump gets reelected but Dems get the election to a 50-50 tie, and so everyone's in a constant state of having to hope that Romney will decide to block whatever next insane thing that the Senate is voting on, like appointing the My Pillow guy to the DC Court of Appeals or something.

I mean, the rise of the incel movement pretty much tracks with the rise of Trump through right-wing politics

BLM isn't interested in black lives, they're just trying to get policies enacted that would improve black people's lives.

Shades of Katie Couric being accused of asking "gotcha questions" because she asked Sarah Palin if she reads newspapers

the hell is goin on in South Dakota rn

People behind Trump in view of the cameras had masks on, but reporters there say that they didn't actually have masks on for any of the warm-up speeches.

Seemed like the outdoor rallies were going just fine, and at least up to this point there hadn't been any hard evidence of transmission at one, but they just can't help themselves. They have to trigger the libs by creating a super-spreader event among their own base.

The one that will always stick with me is the guy at the Michigan state capital protest who was basically fighting back tears saying he couldn't get grass seed. You can absolutely get grass seed my dude, you just have to do curbside pickup. Also, maybe just let your lawn look like shit for a few weeks and count your blessings that you're safe and healthy.

It's such an inane argument at this point because you can just look at the various studies that have looked at total excess mortality compared to an average year and see how much higher it is. It doesn't matter what gets written on the death certificate if people are ending up dead all the same. But I guess if you're willing to believe that the pandemic is fake you're also willing to believe that the excess mortality is actually due to secret antifa murders or something.

uhhhhhhhhhhh

I dunno if this will surprise anyone at this point, but here's a Politico report that Trump political appointees have been fucking with the CDC's weekly COVID reports https://www.politico.com/news/2020/09/11/exclusive-trump-officials-interfered-with-cdc-reports-on-covid-19-412809
