Well, despite her mother’s and my reservations, my daughter flew to Nebraska to spend a week visiting a friend in Lincoln. She came back sick with a runny nose and a cough. She tested herself three times in recent days for Covid and the tests were negative. She’s going to take the Vault test next.
Her mother just got back from picking her up at the airport and dropping her at her apartment. According to my wife, my daughter was triple-masked for the flight and the ride from the airport, and they drove with all the windows down. My wife’s researching acquiring a Vault test, and will shortly be locking herself away in her realms. My son and I will be hiding out in our respective retreats in the house and minimizing contact - especially unmasked - with my wife for a few days.

I first heard his name in a FB comment a couple days ago by a braindead Trump supporter, a FOAF: “Who killed Ashli Babbitt? Who is Ray Epps?” I did not contribute to that FB thread, partly because I never heard of Epps. But it certainly seems that all members of the cult are familiar with Epps conspiracy theories. These people are terrifying — they are indistinguishable from the Germans who followed Hitler. It would save a lot of time if the Republican Party renames itself the “Nazi Party” .

The filibuster in concept is there within however the parliamentary rules of order in the Senate work.* What is being challenged is this much too simple ‘I object’ obstruction capability - which is something that they can abolish if they want to.
* - I was taught that Rules of Order are there so that the majority can prevail while the minority is still allowed to be heard. Usual supermajority requirement things were those that could serious affect member’s rights and privileges.

Amazon somehow magically lost all of my information and only has my address and cc from 2008.

I have no weird purchases on my cc, and my browsing history is correct. I put the $10 sony headphones that Charles showed us in my cart, but never purchased. That disappeared, too. Anyway, I have a lost email account through my grad school that I used to use, so maybe that’s the reason (I got a new computer and lost the account in the data transfer and never recovered it since I didn’t use it much; it might have been the one connected, but the guy wouldn’t confirm because I couldn’t remember the exact address).

re: #106 gwangung
Yeah, stock is down everywhere. My usual source hasn’t shipped the order yet, and it’s been almost two weeks.(Fortunately, I tend to overorder, so I’m fine at the moment…)
If the word about reusability (you can use each mask up to three times) is correct, then mine should last the rest of my life, since I’m away fro my home for no more than hour or two a day and I count one use as eight hours wearing — thus, one mask should last three week or so.
I expect I’m not as cautious as some of the folks here, since even with omicron, our rate of positive tests — and we do a lot of testing — is still around 5%. (To all the online morons who say vaccinating and social distancing don’t work, we provide a counterexample.)

re: #108 HRH Stanley Sea
I took a cool rapid test today called Ellume. Made in Australia. Emergency approval in the US. Yes, I had to download/log into app with my info. Do a nose swab (set up so you have to push brush in deep & swirl) then you add the juice provided. Then 5 drops of juice into this plastic bar that connected to Bluetooth. 15 min later = negative.

I tend to rotate my masks (stick it in a paper bag after use and let it lay fallow for 3-5 days). And since I’m like you, spend a half hour to an hour out of my house, that lasts a while.

For those who want a direct line into the Id of what passes for the Intelligentsia elite of Republican thought, here a a missive complete with one logical fallacy after another:
They are not kidding. They are out for blood. They are out for killing many many people, including those within their own families who will not comply with the new order of things after 2025.
Their core belief is that the victors write history and create reality. Everything else is secondary.

When ever they are bitching about their livelihoods and businesses shutdown or destroyed by liberals/Fauci/commies/Biden/whatever…
I swear Magats are going to give me a fucking stroke. The government didn’t do that, the virus did, and it probably was able to because assholes like them refuse to take any precautions at all dragging the whole thing out beyond what any business or individual should ever reasonably be expected to prepare for.
I’ve been able to sit on my ass safe at home for most of it. You know why? Because I cashed out my retirement fund. I shouldn’t have had to do that, especially not at 47 years old. No one should be expected to do that or anything similar either. Magat’s may have literally gotten me killed with their freedumb bullshit if I didn’t though. As it stands now, I need to start looking for a job in this omicron wave, and if I don’t inherit my father’s current house when the time comes in the future, I’m going to be FUCKED and have no retirement. But I’m alive.
Mandates and shutdowns aren’t taking your freedom, the virus is. The virus is being dragged out by the people yelling about their freedoms the most, therefore, they are the ones taking their freedom and MINE, and yours. I really hope people remember this.

I looked at the forged AZ document. Kelli Ward’s signature is on it. She’s completely bugfuck insane. She absolutely believes Trump (should have) won. She and the other 10 signers need to be rounded up and questioned.
It’s a shame there’s no intellectual framework for explaining how people would understand a law or rule that does not specifically say “pull books by black authors from shelves” would nevertheless result in that outcome.

I’m watching a video of Rachael Maddow, and she showed the official certificates from five states (Arizona among them). Then she showed the five forged certificates, and golly gee whiz, it looks like they used the same freaking template!
Oh, and Maddow showed TWO forged certificates from what looks like two different groups of Republicans. (The other one has a lot of notary stamps on it and I can’t help but think “sovereign citizen”?)

My 8 year old grand niece, fully vaccinated, attends parochial school in Chicago, so they were not subject to the disagreements between CPS and the Mayor, that have just been settled. Everyone is masked. Students are tested weekly. The school does have modern ventilation, due to recent remodeling of the building.
On Friday, her teacher collapsed in the classroom. It turns out that she has COVID. The students returned to class on Monday with no change in rules. It’s just a matter of waiting to see how many others may be infected.

“Mr. Meadows received text messages and emails regarding apparent efforts to encourage Republican legislators in certain States to send alternate slates of electors to Congress, a plan which one Member of Congress acknowledged was ‘highly controversial’ and to which Mr. Meadows responded, ‘I love it,’” the committee report said.
“Mr. Meadows responded to a similar message by saying ‘[w]e are’ and another such message by saying ‘Yes. Have a team on it,’” it said.
Maybe the Committee has made the team members an offer.

I believe that the Federalist Society is behind the production of the templates. This organization has poisoned the judiciary since it came into being. John Eastman, the author of the infamous memo on how to overthrow the election, is an luminary of the Society. Cleta Mitchell, the lawyer on Trump’s call to Raffensperger, is also a member.
