The GOPer who died did so after not only ignoring masking/social distancing, but reveling in the refusal to mask or social distance at political rallies he led.
He knowingly engaged in the very risky behaviors that ultimately got him killed.

Cake? Or Death.
Brexit is a disaster for the UK. It’s just slightly less one thanks to coming to a “deal” instead of having a no deal exit.
UK sees higher costs of doing business, less access to European markets, longer waits to enter the continent as travelers, and they’ve made a mess of what will happen with Ireland.
None of this was necessary. It was all built on lies, and the UK economy will take a long term hit thanks to it.

Yep. Here’s Molly’s statement: “He died of coronavirus yesterday at 41 years old.” But she paired it with a video of him maskless talking about how moves to limit the spread of covid can be taken too far if they crush businesses.

Unfortunately, even if he had worn a mask, he attended events where most people were unmasked, and therefore would likely have contracted the virus anyway. Given Trump’s position, being a Republican means being irresponsible, especially for your first run at an office. You cannot mask and socially distance and get votes from this crowd.

This is the type of message that is frightening — since it’s not clear where or when they were exposed. It’s likely that one contracted it and passed it to the other. But, unless you stay home and see no one else, you are in danger and are probably underestimating the level of risk.
I have tried to be cautious but still, I do shop and have not always been socially distanced when in a store; I walk outside (while masked) with my sister and a couple friends and have dined outside. And have had a few masked people inside the house for various services. When listing actual contacts with others, you realize how much exposure you actually have had, even if you are always masked and do not attend any social events.

re: #3 Eclectic Cyborg
My
stimulus checkpittance is pending in my account now.Yay?
Well, you can move up from gruel to cornbread at least for a month or two, so there’s that.
From a 2018 editorial in a Missouri paper before the election:
Russia hasn’t formally declared that Missouri Attorney General Josh Hawley is President Vladimir Putin’s favored candidate in the November U.S. Senate election, but the Russian hacking of Democratic incumbent Claire McCaskill is a clear indication of where Putin wants this election to go. More and more in America, it seems, what Putin wants, Putin gets.
Missourians should think long and hard about the implications of reports last week that Russian hackers tried unsuccessfully to infiltrate McCaskill’s Senate computer network — meaning that Russian meddling is an ongoing, serious national security threat. McCaskill left no doubt that she holds Putin responsible, calling him “a thug and a bully” and insisting she will not be intimidated.
News reports about Russian meddling in the 2016 presidential elections were probably easy for Missourians to disregard because, really, what does that have to do with us? But all of a sudden, decisions being made in Moscow threaten us right here, right now.
Russia recognizes that the Senate’s power balance hangs on the November election, with McCaskill’s seat among the most hotly contested in the country. Hawley is her likely GOP challenger, and if he defeats McCaskill, Republicans would retain control of the Senate and be emboldened to advance Trump’s pro-Russia agenda.
It’s safe to say that Putin does not want McCaskill to win. We also know that Hawley is Trump’s guy because the president made a point of promoting Hawley’s candidacy during a trip to Kansas City last week, during which Hawley went overboard in his unbridled praise of the president.
It’s clear that Josh Hawley is another Putin puppet, as demonstrated by his support of Trump’s coup.
You all remember that Trump actually DID launch a “voter fraud commission” already, right? The one that had to shut down in disgrace when it found absolutely no credible evidence of widespread fraud?

Sen. Ted Cruz (R-TX) needs your help to keep the U.S. Senate in Republican hands. So blared a handful of Facebook’s ads that Cruz’s campaign committee purchased this month. But none of them were actually raising money for the Republican candidates in Georgia. Instead, every penny donated went directly to…Cruz,” the Daily Beast reports.
Good. Every penny one of these grifters keeps is one penny which will not go to the Georgia runoffs.

Next week Republicans are going to be swaggering into the Kentucky Capitol building maskless for the 2021 legislative session to prove Gov. Beshear can’t tell them what to do.

As of yet, I don’t know anyone I know in person who’s had the disease (though several people here and at Wonkette have had it). Amazingly there have been no cases in my town even this far in with the Trump plague.
Only 3 people I know personally have contracted the disease and all recovered. But the BIL of a friend died. Too many may be dismissive of the dangers of COVID because they do not know anyone who has suffered from a serious case. My Dallas area brother, who does take it seriously, keeps talking about how it’s only the residents of the Dallas inner city who have had real difficulties in his region, and how those who are healthy really don’t have anything much to worry about.

Unfortunately, even if he had worn a mask, he attended events where most people were unmasked, and therefore would likely have contracted the virus anyway. Given Trump’s position, being a Republican means being irresponsible, especially for your first run at an office. You cannot mask and socially distance and get votes from this crowd.
Then you get the consequences of your actions.
Being a Republican is a choice, and a risk factor for Covid-19.

The proclamation also puts God over secular governance, a conservative desire for hundreds of years.
The son of a London sheriff and once described as “a low‑born clerk” by the King who had him killed, Thomas Becket rose to become the leader of the church in England. When the crown attempted to encroach upon the affairs of the house of God through the Constitutions of Clarendon, Thomas refused to sign the offending document. When the furious King Henry II threatened to hold him in contempt of royal authority and questioned why this “poor and humble” priest would dare defy him, Archbishop Becket responded “God is the supreme ruler, above Kings” and “we ought to obey God rather than men.”

IMO, mostly the power of a unified and utterly lockstep (R) caucus in the Senate: Mitch hasn’t really *changed* the rules, he’s just weaponized them to ensure absolute partisan control over every step of the legislative process (even if only by one or two votes) - and (at least AFAICT) not a single Republican Senator has strayed off the reservation in many years. Oh, Mitt Romney or Ben Sasse will play Designated Maverick every so often; and Susan Collins, of course, will reliably express her “concern” over this or that; but when it comes to legislation - and more importantly, judiciary court-packing with “approved” wingers - there’s no significant dissent or deviation from the Party Line. None. And with a Democratic Administration in the WH, it’s probably only going to get worse.

Loeffler Suggests She May Contest Trump’s Electoral College Loss
Sen. Kelly Loeffler (R-GA) on Wednesday signaled that she was open to objecting to the certification of Joe Biden’s victory in the 2020 presidential election.
If Loeffler were to object, she would join Sen. Josh Hawley (R-MO) and others in the House who intend to challenge the official count, forcing a vote on whether or not to accept the election’s results.
“Everything’s on the table right now,” Loeffler said, asked about challenging the electoral college count. The New York Times’ Astead Herndon reported her remarks.
“That vote is Jan. 6, and I’m going to continue to fight for this President because he fought for us,” the senator added. “He put America first. But I need to win on Jan. 5 in order to be there on Jan. 6.”
I find it thoroughly OBSCENE that republican Senators are all of a sudden worried that people “who don’t need” $2,000 will get it, but they shelled out MILLIONS in aid to people like Kanye West and Tom Brady, no problem.

Police were called this Sunday Christian prayer group faced off with Native Americans who were upset about their gathering on the Great Serpent Mound, which is a Native American national historic site in southern Ohio, the Cincinnati Enquirer reports.
The leader of the group, far-right pastor David Daubenmire, said that the mound is a place where dark energy is released into the world. Daubenmire and his followers were on the scene “praying down (the) Satanic serpent mounds,” according to the group’s YouTube video, titled, “PAGANS TRY TO PREVENT PRAYER.”

re: #29 Hecuba’s daughter
A post yesterday from a FB friend (do not know her in person — she is a FOAF), who with her husband has been diagnosed with COVID:
[Embedded content]
This is the type of message that is frightening — since it’s not clear where or when they were exposed. It’s likely that one contracted it and passed it to the other. But, unless you stay home and see no one else, you are in danger and are probably underestimating the level of risk.
I have tried to be cautious but still, I do shop and have not always been socially distanced when in a store; I walk outside (while masked) with my sister and a couple friends and have dined outside. And have had a few masked people inside the house for various services. When listing actual contacts with others, you realize how much exposure you actually have had, even if you are always masked and do not attend any social events.
The virus is totally unpredictable:
Anyone can get it
Anyone can have it and not know it
Anyone who has it (knowing or not) can pass it on
Anyone can survive it
Anyone can die from it
Anyone can experience nasty medical side effects that create a permanent pre-existing condition
The virus does not fight fair
doing everything ‘right’ - masking, washing, distancing, limiting contact with the public - are not a guarantee you won’t get it. what they do is reduce the likelihood.
it’s the 4th one that’s the real issue. determining when you have to make contact with anyone outside your known safe pod. Have to. Not want to. that’s why any negotiation or rationalization of why this visit, this trip, this christmas, thanksgiving, birthday, whatever is so much nonsense. the virus doesn’t care and it is opportunistic and predatory.
when you have to make contact, then masking, washing and 6’ distancing are the necessary and ‘easy’ parts to mitigate the risk. They work. They are not a guarantee. So again, first, limit contact as much as possible.
As to jobs outside your home, do it if you have to.
Do it smart, even if your boss / employer won’t.
And if you can’t, consider whether your job is worth your life (it isn’t).
we may be seeing light at the end of the tunnel.
meanwhile, stay vigilant.
remind yourself of these factors regularly so you don’t get lazy or complacent, or forgetful.
Your objective is to keep you and yours alive.
unnecessary risks are, unnecessary.

kind of Salieri’s whole point, wasn’t it?
re: #235 Dangerman
Well, there’s two ways to read the film.
One is to look at actual Salieri, who was a friend of Mozart but went mad at the end of his life suffered dementia and sometimes believed he had killed his friend. This frame exists within the film….the character Salieri could be an unreliable narrator, but he believes his own story.
The second is that the story is an allergory for the pain of creating art and feeling unrecognized played out between two characters who have different versions of the same thing and how the suffering of each causes terrible consequences. Salieri wants fame, and want Mozart’s recognition, and in envy destroys Mozart…but he can only destroy Mozart because he recognizes he understands the younger composer lives in terror his father’s disapproval and conditional love.

When NH GOP newly selected Speaker Richard Hinch died of covid a couple of weeks ago, the man who coveted his role and has served for a few years from Londonderry (where the final two Trump rallies were held) was quoted as saying that his death had nothing to do with masks. He’s a true wingnut who co-chaired the NH Trump campaign and in 2016 said that Hillary Clinton should be shot. BTW, here’s his wedding photo:
This has been ramping up among the fringees. We saw the stupid stunt by some of them trying to call Sununu a tyrant and demanding that he be impeached. They may succeed in making Sununu a Democrat when this is all over. Sununu supported Trump early, but refused to attend his rallies as the covid disaster took hold. But wait, there’s more!
