Has it ever occurred to the American public to vote for policies instead of people? Like how they do it in most of the rest of the world?


You know, it has. But don't worry, our choices are between 'puts kids in cages' and 'the GOP are pretty ok, we should go ahead and just compromise with them'.

But thanks for the suggestion.

Going to post this here instead of NK thread. Just saw a report that Kim Jong Un is reported to be in really bad shape after a surgery. I’m curious and kinda scared about this. This could be huge news if this fucker dies.

His successor could be more interested in playing nice.

Further reports seem to suggest that he's okay (from SK), but we probably wouldn't hear if there *was* a problem anyway...

So it sounds like Bill Barr wants to bring legal action against various States for remaining in lockdown...like what are you going to do you little grimy toadman? Take NYC to court? Fucking clown ass clown.

If it wasn't obvious how much of a criminal your goddamned attorney general is...he continues to make it more obvious.

'Barr said the department wouldn’t hesitate to support lawsuits filed by citizens or businesses in response to certain state directives.'

Try to get a judge to order an injunction on lockdown until the law suit is over?

Can they be sure to get a shamelessly hyperpartisan Trump appointee who is willing to brazenly misinterpret the law?...

Unfortunately, that's exactly what they are going to do. The whole reason the GOP puts up with Trump is to drag our judicial system so far to the Right, that it can stop any Progressive or Liberal legislation whenever they lose power (which I think they think is coming).

Long entrenched republican reps may have a new opponent to worry about when their seat comes up for election - The Grim Reaper.

I thought it was an onion article. Trump suggested using disinfectant on the lungs to kill coved 19, or aplying us light under the skin.

Oh there are many examples of this. Members of his administration have been on Fox News, when coronavirus started to get more attention, saying we are familiar with it because this was the 19th version of the virus.

Well, there is a sort of perverse upside, ih that Trump supporters will literally become a dying breed.
Yesterday, upon the stair, I saw a man who wasn't there. He wasn't there again today. Oh, how I wish he'd go away.

The majority of them won't die, they'll just carry the disease and prolong the suffering.

If they start injecting themselves with disinfectant or exposing themselves to extreme UV light they will.

How the fuck is a president basically pulling a Jim Jones and telling his followers to drink the poisoned Kool-aid (in this case INJECTING DISINFECTANT INTO THEIR LUNGS) and nothing is being done to stop him from spreading that false info? Are there NO adults in the room? Why does no one stand up to this guy and tell him he's wrong...constantly?

I actually saw someone in TikTok comments saying "Well, vaccines contain a bunch of nasty shit too, so why can't this work?! It's not a bad idea."....motherfuckers can't get out of their own way. Darwinism at it's finest.

I’ll probably start with figuring out how to inject light into my body before moving on to disinfectant.
I've always been crazy but its kept me from going insane.

This one is easy!
Step 1: Walk outside to a particularly sunny area
Step 2: Use a knife to slit open your chest cavity and stomach (*note: it has to be deep so it can get to the lungs!)
Step 3: Enjoy a Covid Free 2020!
Trouble arrives when the opponents to such a system institute its extreme opposite, where individualism becomes godlike and sacrosanct, and no greater service to any other ideal (including community) is possible. In such a system rapacious greed thrives behind the guise of freedom, and the worst aspects of human nature come to the fore....

I guess the people who were all about the perineum sunning craze that took off last year knew something was coming.

google perineum sunning, I dare you. Posted Image
