Seth takes a closer look at North Carolina Republican congressman Madison Cawthorn, one of the most vocal proponents of Donald Trump’s big lie about the 2020 election, losing his GOP primary last night despite Trump’s endorsement.

We have to more bluntly discuss that an ENORMOUS % of the GOP now consists of completely insane, delusional lunatics who believe and say absolutely deranged, made up nonsense that is 100% divorced from reality. Its gotten exponentially worse since Trump formed a conman’s cult. https://t.co/7seoiITLXD

Evidence? No, no, that’s not how this works. It’s been asserted in a Congressional hearing. That means that Faux News et al. will report it as fact, which then means that a Legitimate News Outlet (tm) has treated it as a fact, which means it must be OK to post on Facebook and Twitter as fact. And just like that, what we know as a lie has suddenly become part of their alternative reality.

Fair points. Though most of my friends are in similar situations to mine and are not out socializing several times a week, so chances are that the 2 day window wouldn’t apply. Yes, it’s possible that someone will be infected, won’t have symptoms, and will get a false negative result on the rapid test (around 10% chance with the better tests). I think that there’s still less than 50/50 chance that I’ll catch it in the next 2 years, even without better vaccines, etc. There are a total of 3 houses within a half mile of my house, so I don’t ‘pass people on the street’ or get stuck with people in an elevator, etc.

I recently had a retirement party on Saturday, all attendees were aware of the risks. I socialize much more than most here, that is quite clear. I had not caught covid19 before though. A couple of party attendees were world experts in immunology and pulmonology. My daughter showed symptoms late Sunday, which means that she was probably pre-sympotmatic during my retirement party. The whole four days she stayed with us, not a sniffle, headache, or fever. My wife blames it on a stop our daughter made last Wednesday to eat at Cracker Barrel on the trip down to Alabama, because my wife hates Cracker Barrel with the intensity of a thousand suns.
I tested on Monday - negative
Wife tested on Tuesday night - negative, but had mild symptoms
Immunologist emails me last night, says he tested positive (his wife is still clear).
MsRedState does second test, a clanger of a positive (I am still clear).
Get message this morning, one of the musician/friend/beer geek tested positive.
That is 3 out of 80, hopefully it stops there.
JC1 may reduce their odds significantly, there is no certainty there. For someone like me, it is going to happen (still dodging it) with probability 0.95. I am not particularly concerned because I have been single boosted, and am not above 65 years old. the older you are, the more you have to worry.

“Does keeping babies alive sufficiently increase shareholder value? We think not.”
My take on catching covid is this. Even though I am vaxed and twice boosted, I AM going to eventually get it regardless of that. I still mask, social distance and shop during the off hours. But since I have to go out from time to time I AM eventually going to come in contact with some covidiot who refuses to mask up and is contagious. I just hope it is a mild case with out any of the long covid complications.

re: #39 JC1
I haven’t gotten it yet, and I don’t plan on it.
I spent three weeks on a cruise ship during the height of omicron, and another three during the “second surge” of omicron b, or whatever the variant was, and I didn’t catch it (unless I had an asymptomatic case in between the required tests while I was there). I’m careful — I usually didn’t eat in the dining room, so I avoided one major transmission path, for the most part, anyway, but I was around people, some of them very careless and some in denial (no hard line antivaxxers, since we all had to be vaxxed and boosted to be there at all), and I rode on busses and on excursions with those same people and toured places with lots of random people — and I still didn’t catch it.
So we’re back where this started: vaccination greatly reduces your chances of ever getting covid, but not to zero.
Keep in mind that we don’t hear reporting from all the people who haven’t gotten covid after being vaccinated. We’re bound to have a skewed idea of case incidence among vaccinated people.
(Also too, using a state with rational policies with respect to covid, and one whose data I think are trustworthy, if “everyone will get it,” in my state, if infections continue at the current (high-ish) rate, and no-one gets it twice, it will take about fifteen years to infect everyone.)

When Roe is reversed, Kentucky’s trigger law banning all abortions from the moment of fertilization will take effect. The only exception is to save the life of the mother. Abortion will be a felony, so doctors will have to be very sure the mother is about to die before they will perform an abortion, and they will undoubtably hesitate too long in some cases.

“I have concluded after talking with Ms. Crockett that the depiction of Mr. Soros was not intended as antisemitic, and that neither Ms. Crockett nor her creative team were aware that the depiction of a puppet-master invokes an old but persistent antisemitic trope,” Hann said.
