Saw an interesting observation on Twitter just now: George W’s Iraq war cost the lives of 4500 Americans (at least). Trump could be set to oversee a crisis that obliterates that number, as he would say, bigly.

I think restaurant patrons everywhere should be asking
1) Do you get paid sick leave?
2) Menu please?
And in that order.

From the previous thread:

re: #277 Love-Child of Cassandra and Sisyphus

Those numbers sound like they came from that slide at an AHA briefing a few days ago, that got circulated widely.

It should be noted that those claims are just someone’s slide… not really a study.

That has been a wingnut talking point.

The “someone’s slide” is the University of Nebraska Medical Center, and the presenter a person from UNMC.

University of Nebraska Medical Center is where the National Quarantine Center is located, and also has world-class research facilities into novel diseases (which is why the quarantine center is there).

I doubt the UNMC or the University of Nebraska would allow a person from the university to testify before a hearing in the Unicameral if they didn’t stand behind the information.

John Hopkins COVID-19 tracker has the US at 959 cases. This morning it was 808.
And, it’s map isn’t showing the 5 in South Dakota.
Russia finally is showing active cases. While Turkey and the assorted ‘Ubeki-beki-beki-stan-stans’ are not yet reporting cases. As well most of Africa.

Something the big brains at the White House haven’t caught on to yet. While Flu type viruses tend to die off in more humid weather, and spread in drier environments (winter)
It’s not winter south of the equator. And, the virus is still spreading down there

This is absolutely outrageous. Every single red state with a diverse population is complicit. Our only hope is to take back the government in November and pass voting right legislation — and I’m not sure if that’s feasible if the filibuster still exists.

re: #25 Anymouse 🌹🎃

The slide is real, the person is real.

But projections are just that - projections based on extrapolations.

The long run is clear by now - since we’ve not done what it takes to isolate the infected, the virus will spread through the population.

So I have no doubt that the latest coronavirus will be ubiquitous. And with that a huge, choking demand upon our health care providers.

I simply am stating that the publication of a slide presented to an AHA meeting is not a published assessment, not an epidemiological study. It was a worst case scenario to give hospital administrators a shock to prepare them for what is to come.

I wouldn’t want it entirely abolished (some really horrible laws from conservatives have been blocked with it).

I’d prefer that we go back to a real filibuster: You want to oppose a bill, you have to get up on the Senate floor and keep talking, for as many days as it takes.

It’s really weird how few degrees of separation one gets in some of these situations: I just heard from a friend whose cousin (whom we also know) lives in New Rochelle, and is (apparently) right in the middle of the “containment zone”. And that her husband is a suspected COVID-19 contact. Fun times: the cousin is a chemo patient (pancreatic cancer); so her immune system is likely to be sketchy, at best. Hopefully they will be able to get tested, and soon.

SRSLY. dKos has a header bar with the primary races listed, and they are awarding MO to Biden on the basis of “0.03%” of precincts reporting, : 1624 votes scattered among 23 candidates (!) plus 48 “uncommitted”. I’m sure Joe is likely to win, but really….?

The GOP/Trump tax cut proposals are half baked DOA efforts to deflect from the failure to act aggressively to contain the virus by having tests available and public health measures in place to expedite testing of those that need the testing (and to deliver tests and aid to communities already struggling to stay ahead of the spread of the disease).

I was just reading that while young folks appear to have a mortality rate below that of the flu, for the elderly, the mortality rate is something like 20% or higher.

SRSLY. dKos has a header bar with the primary races listed, and they are awarding MO to Biden on the basis of “0.03%” of precincts reporting, : 1624 votes scattered among 23 candidates (!) plus 48 “uncommitted”. I’m sure Joe is likely to win, but really….?

Yes, really. They have exit polls to back it up.

re: #114 goddamnedfrank

The early calls are due to how they see polling break. They called MS as soon as the polls closed, because the only question was the margin of victory.

And in MS, there’s a slight chance that Bernie gets 0 delegates because he doesn’t cross the 15% threshold.

That’s the thing - Biden’s on his way to winning the Southern states handily. It would require Bernie to win by a similarly huge margin in MI and WA to avoid falling behind, and there’s good chance he loses one of those states too. So, what was already clear on Super Tuesday will be doubly so after tonight - Bernie’s done.

People were referred to as “illegals,” questions about the Census were framed as “immigrants are the majority of population growth, taking American high-paying jobs,” &c.

But they voted for him. I’m not saying in full, but enough.

Trump won by fractions of a percent in key states.

35% of under 24. That’s not insignificant.

Given Biden’s age and possible health issues, we need someone who can take over on day one, and Stacey isn’t it. OTOH Biden floated her name last year as a running mate — so it’s certainly possible. There are women Senators, governors, and congresspeople who are qualified.

She’s my personal pick. That’s all. A lot of the names mentioned have positive imo.

In case you weren’t aware, one of the biggest factors in poll results is how the questions are phrased. Double-blind polls are valuable, but they can’t insulate from the wording of the questions and any innate bias that conveys. Of course, partisan pollsters like Rasmussen take advantage of this.

I don’t know how much you know about me, but that family you’re describing is my family. This past Christmas is the first holiday on record, since I left home in 2006, that my dad has not unloaded a completely deranged right-wing rant about some current Rush Limbaugh talking point or another, a conversation that usually leads to an extended period of awkward silence while my mom cowers quietly and my wife vibrates with a desire to commit patricide.

I think the take-home lesson is we underestimated how much people didn’t like Hillary Clinton in 2016, leading us to OVERestimate how much people liked Bernie. Now, given an alternative to Trump who isn’t Bernie, people are flocking to the polls.

Trump’s probably shitting his pants about now. The people voting Biden were the people he was depending on voting for him.

While Jacobin shouldn’t be doing this, they are not alone, nor with just Joe Biden.

Lots of everyday people engage in ableist gatekeeping, especially when it’s an invisible disability like stuttering or epilepsy.

My wife gets accused of faking disability using a cane when we park in a handicap space, because apparently a Smart car is supposed to have a wheelchair lift or something.

A good number of conservatives think disabled people are really “faking” to get government benefits. I have been accused of that over epilepsy and migraines, both of which are invisible disabilities.

Jessica Kellgren-Fozard is a disability advocate and YouTuber in the United Kingdom. She is deaf and suffers from debilitating migraine headaches, as well as a chronic genetic disorder called EDS which affects her connective tissues.

She speaks in this video of faking disability in general, and in particular an actress who has been harassed on Instagram over faking disability (she is not faking disability, she has the same genetic disorder). She was harassed so badly she left Instagram (which would not enforce its rules against harassment).

So, how would your filibuster prevent what you’re talking about and yet not prevent passing what we believe needs to be passed?

Currently Senators simply threaten a filibuster and a bill dies.

If a bill is being filibustered on the Senate floor for real, that mean’s it’s already up for debate. Unless the real filibuster convinces people to change their positions, it can only delay passage.

I have never used an embossed rolling pin, all of mine are plain. The embossed rollers are made for a special type of shortbread cookie dough called springerle

Now that I think about it, I would first have to use a regular rolling pin to flatten the dough and then use the embossed roller, in one pass, to press in the design. Rolling back and forth with an embossed roller would just obliterate the design.

Yep — lots of snake emojis. And Bernie supporters cannot understand why, after being vilified for months by BernieBros, the progressive woman hasn’t supported the progressive man. Somehow they feel that moderates are so different from progressives that it makes no sense to them that someone could support Warren and not immediately switch to Bernie when she dropped out.

While Jacobin shouldn’t be doing this, they are not alone, nor with just Joe Biden.

Lots of everyday people engage in ableist gatekeeping, especially when it’s an invisible disability like stuttering or epilepsy.

My wife gets accused of faking disability using a cane when we park in a handicap space, because apparently a Smart car is supposed to have a wheelchair lift or something.

A good number of conservatives think disabled people are really “faking” to get government benefits. I have been accused of that over epilepsy and migraines, both of which are invisible disabilities.

Jessica Kellgren-Fozard is a disability advocate and YouTuber in the United Kingdom. She is deaf and suffers from debilitating migraine headaches, as well as a chronic genetic disorder called EDS which affects her connective tissues.

She speaks in this video of faking disability in general, and in particular an actress who has been harassed on Instagram over faking disability (she is not faking disability, she has the same genetic disorder). She was harassed so badly she left Instagram (which would not enforce its rules against harassment).

(14:42)

[Embedded content]

What galls a lot of us is that now, ordinary non-disabled people are getting accommodations like online classwork, which academia has NEVER wanted to provide to disabled folks. For two years, disabled people have been called turtle-killers because plastic straws. Now, Coronavirus, and people are like “never mind”.

I’m betting that when this crisis passes, people will go back to being ableist. Especially the Left.

As more and more local reports come in of infections, and more media outlets run stories, I’m seeing more and more misinformation.

Troubling, really, that writers/editors can’t get their facts straight.

Always this is a problem, always. It’s part of the whole business of reporting. Ignoring the obvious propaganda outlets (like Fox, RT, EpochTimes, etc.), there are still all sorts of articles written with outdated information and just wrong ideas.

Example from Crains:

Report: Michigan has first 2 positive tests for coronavirus

The World Health Organization said Monday that coronavirus, a novel flu-like strain from a large family of viruses not previously identified in humans, is very close to being called a pandemic.

That’s just wrong. Not influenza. And the reason the actual virus is called SARS-Cov-2 and was identified quickly is exactly because this family of viruses is known and studied, because of their human impact such as the previous SARS epidemic.

The percentages appear to be the share of people exiting the polling station, by age group, for whom they voted.

However, as the age groups differ greatly by who actually shows up at the polls, for Bernie doing so well with young’uns doesn’t mean much if only a few bothered to go to the polls.

Put simply, not many people under 30 bother to vote, especially in primaries.

They and you are free to dislike Biden…but to lie about his mental fitness disgusts me.

He’s recited that Heaney poem a few times now. My Nana had senility so I’ve witnessed it a little . I’m no doc but Biden isn’t senile. People confuse the stutter which is as much a mental disorder as it is physical with him losing his memory. Combine that with edited clips, it’s no wonder imo why younger voters who rely more on viral media seem more likely to believe the conspiracy bs.

It’s been a long three years and two months, that’s for sure.

I don’t think this guy is reading the percentages on the chart he posted.

His chart shows 15% of the voters were young people, and not all of them voted for Sanders.

Turns out young people are generally uninterested in elections, just as in every election.

Nothing will give me more joy than seeing President Biden will name Richard Painter as Special Counsel. And Painter indicts every crooked Republican he gets his hands on including Hannity!

I’ve seen this lying rodent copulation show up on a bunch of Twitter threads.

Propaganda has to be addressed, or it plants seeds in the minds of people.

Churchill funnily enough had a stutter. And those famous Churchill speeches we hear. They’re from after he left office iirc.

What I’ve learned from reading the comments on this tweet is that Trump supporters have never read “The Most Dangerous Game”.

LOL, you could have ended that sentence at “read” and have had the same impact.

To put things in perspective, the Summer Olympics have been canceled thrice- 1916, 1940, & 1944.

re: #359 Anymouse 🌹🎃

My eldest first cousin cast a ballot for Dr. Jill Stein in Michigan, claiming she hated Hillary Clinton. She could not explain what she hated about her. Republican propaganda over decades definitely worked.

Same thing with my neighbor up the street.

I’ve mentioned this before. Literally said he didn’t like Trump, but since he hated HRC more, he had no choice other than to vote for him. When pressed, he was honest-to-God all “I don’t know why I hate her, but I just have a feeling she’s worse than him.”

A little more prodding revealed a not-that-surprsing dose of misogyny, under the guise of “I don’t think male leaders in the Middle East will respect a woman President.”

Despite the fact she was a former… dammit, my memory; what’s the job again?

Oh, yeah: FUCKING SECRETARY OF STATE. THE JOB WHERE YOU DEAL WITH FOREIGN LEADERS DAY IN AND DAY OUT.

My partner had a chat with recently in which he was wracked with Trump-grets. I avoid his house now when I’m walking the dog. If I run into him and the subject comes up, he’s gonna wind up punching me. He’s got a temper and I can’t even with these dipshits anymore.

re: #377 TarHellion

When I was working at a grocery store in the 1980s, this guy scammed so many “Christian” co-workers out of their money. NOTHING could convince them that he was a charlatan.

Was that before or after he went to prison for scamming them out of their money?

This is rich. Blaming Warren for when Bernie loses. BUT, Sanders had no effect in Clinton losing to Trump when Sanders did little to nothing to help the Democrats and Clinton once he conceded the nomination to her in 2016.

I half-expect the next claim will be that the loss was due to the GOP doing something to suppress/affect the vote in Biden’s favor.

There was also the time the US boycotted (1980) and the time the Soviets boycotted (1984).

re: #299 stpaulbear

VB, do you have one like this? My grandma used to live with us and she used this. It’s probably older than I am and it has 12 hand carved designs of birds and fruit. I’ve had it since my parents passed away and I’ve never used it.

re: #307 The Pie Overlord!

I have never used an embossed rolling pin, all of mine are plain. The embossed rollers are made for a special type of shortbread cookie dough called springerle

Now that I think about it, I would first have to use a regular rolling pin to flatten the dough and then use the embossed roller, in one pass, to press in the design. Rolling back and forth with an embossed roller would just obliterate the design.

I have a rolling pin like that, StPaulBear! Also my grandmother’s, no idea how old. Thank you for the info about the springerle, Mme Overlord, I’m going to check her old cookbooks for recipes. (Would love one of the modern laser-cut varieties too, Retired Cynic. They have ‘em with dinosaurs. And moose!)
