I have no more facepalms to give for this country. I have knocked myself out. Literally.

[Blue Owl]

1. Go ahead and round it up to 250,000 this weekend

Donald tRump, mass murderer, ain't stoppin' until Jan. 20 and who knows what the final toll will be...

[sheshe2]

8. The death toll will rise.

Minimum 325K by 01/20/2021.

[calimary]

17. That feels like a punch in the gut.

EVERY number in that 325,000 is a person. A living, loving, caring human being with a family full of loved ones, all shapes, sizes, colors, nationalities, ages - the youngest I heard of this week was a five-year-old.

This just FUCKING HURTS! And I don't even know any of these people. It doesn't matter. They're fellow travelers, all bozos on this bus called Planet Earth. And they have feelings and cares and worries and loves, and people who care about them. They laugh and they cry. And now they're the object of tears - gone. Lost forever down a dark hole called COVID. Leaving a trail of aching hearts and lit votive candles. And the holidays are coming. I bet there were a few of these COVID victims for whom a special Christmas gift had already been purchased or ordered, or made by hand.

And it didn't have to end this way. They didn't have to die.

Damn.

[Celerity]

20. it is now over 250K, as of 5 or 6 hours ago it was 249,998

[soldierant]

43. A quarter of a million.

3. Pro Life my ass they are pro fetus

And all that bs Grassley spouted about "death panels" he and the rest of his party are guilty of DEATHS. These people didn't even need to appear before death panels, the death panels are walking amongst us and you know who they are because they refuse to accept the reality and refuse to mask up.

[Buckeye_Democrat]

4. Even pro-fetus started out as a deceptive cover-up.

There's surely many who deeply believe it now, but mostly because they've had it hammered into their heads for decades.

14. The religious right is like the moral majority; NEITHER.

The religious right is like the moral majority; NEITHER.

Political Christians rather than Christians of faith.

[Shermann]

31. That's what happens when you reject secular morality

You don't exercise your own logical brain enough and instead let the "gurus" deem what's moral based on their loose interpretations of scripture.

[Rhiannon12866]

12. Also pro death penalty and not supportive of children after they're born

Examples include lack of action after the horror of Sandy Hook, not to mention ripping babies out of the arms of immigrant mothers.

6. Keep this and every time you hear an "outrage" from your friends...print this.

[certainot]

29. it's the difference 1500 coordinated and unchallenged radio stations make

OUTRAGE

[MustLoveBeagles]

7. That was different. Obama was president.

I remember when medical personnel were forcibly quarantined during the Ebola outbreak. Kaci Hickox a nurse who had treated patients in West Africa was subjected to widespread vilification and ridicule when she complained over how she was treated. I'm going out on a limb here but I bet the people that were in favor of her imprisonment are the same people that can't be bothered to take safety precautions in this pandemic. Masks and social distancing are tyranny and a violation of their rights.

30. in 2014 limbaugh started a full month of national fearmongering on ebola and it got them 9 senate se

seats

some thought of it as an october surprise. it all ended right after the electons.

media needs to investigate if limbaugh convinced dtrump it could work with COVID. they are both stupid and simple enough to equate the two

[MustLoveBeagles]

34. So it was Limbaugh

I should've known. Of course there were probably others too. I remember the doctors and scientists at the time were saying that rw politicians and rw media were spreading misinformation. President Obama invited a nurse who was exposed to it to the White House and even hugged her to people there was nothing to fear. People listened to them then about as well as they're listening to them now, meaning not at all. Funny how all the fear mongering immediatly stopped once they got what they wanted. It wouldn't surprise me if they tried it again with Covid only this time it didn't work. The media does need to look into it but I'm not holding my breath.

[certainot]

39. russia too. also involved in hyping it was mueller subject jerome corsi - writing nearly

every day in oct about it in right wing rag WND

who was pushing the social media in congo 2019 to get locals to attack ebola clinics? but they got that under control

Ian Reifowitz posted a diary Feb 29 — Weaponizing an epidemic for political purposes is exactly what Limbaugh did to Obama​​​ detailing how Limbaugh and the Republicans used ebola to help them regain the house and senate in 2014. Democrats lost 13 House seats and nine Senate seats. They used fear of ebola in October to win in November and then forgot about ebola after their election successes. It was a manufactured crisis, it worked, and why wouldn’t they use it again?

[Stainless]

9. Trump's malfeasance has resulted in thousands of avoidable Covid deaths

That is at least Involuntary Manslaughter! Send him to prison now.....

[OldBaldy1701E]

27. EXACTLY!

The entire administration needs to be examined with that mindset. There are just too many aspects of what has transpired that certainly fall into actionable charges. I hope like hell the new administration sees it that way!

[certainot]

40. maybe limbaugh and putin told him to use it like GOP did ebola in oct 2014 - to win the election

they got 9 senate seats

[betsuni]

10. K&R

[IronLionZion]

11. Biden is president now so he's responsible for these deaths

Any bets on when they'll start saying this? Maybe early January before the inauguration?

[certainot]

41. not just bidden. after months of covid denial and screaming against shutdowns they're going

use the same radio stations to blame democrats in every state - it's what they do

[IronLionZion]

42. Dems were protesting in major cities

so that's why COVID has spread throughout rural southern and midwestern states. Also those damn foreigners.

[certainot]

51. right?

[wellst0nev0ter]

13. Unfuckingbelievable indeed

That the democrats are so inept at messaging that they can AT BEST only barely beat trump, and lose a bunch of downballot races with these conditions.

[brush]

15. Well that's one way to look at it. Bash Dems instead of lying trump...

and gaslighting repugs.

[wellst0nev0ter]

16. Dems need to learn how to run smear campaigns

instead of campaigning nicely against goops. Call it a complaint if you want, dems don't know how to campaign in this environment.

[brush]

18. Give credit where it's due. We just defeated an incumbent president...

something rarely done. And we have a shot at a Senate majority. Give up some props, already.

[greatbaldeagle]

33. What do you do when Republican voters don't care?

I agree that Democrats suck at messaging. But I think they suck at communicating their accomplishments and how their policies are best for the country, not necessarily talking about the other side. It's not like they aren't aware that he's a con artist, liar, cheat, racist, etc. Some don't care and the rest like that he's that way. I'm convinced that no amount of smearing would have mattered. These people love Trump and are willing to die for him. They hate other people more than they love themselves. What do you do with that?

[KPN]

19. And like they like to obnoxiously say,

Never Forget.

Better yet - remind them infinitely.

24. Even that description of the Benghazi "investigation" isn't as strong as it could be.

It took much longer, cost way, WAY more money and diverted more of the government away from doing the jobs they were elected to than the entire JFK assassination case.

[UTUSN]

25. K&R for, reviving the O.P.!

32. 2,977 died on 9/11

after Bush ignored the warnings. He wasn't asked to resign, got re-elected, took us to war with Iraq based on a false premise, and got away with it. Reagan ignored the AIDS crisis and 89,343 people died under his watch. It barely gets mentioned as far as his legacy goes. Republicans are immune to scrutiny and accountability. It only matters if you’re a Democrat.

[SunSeeker]

35. K & R & Retweeted!

[sheshe2]

36. Thank you 😊

[Polybius]

37. Landslide?

Well he definitely lost but I wouldn't call it a landslide.

[sheshe2]

45. Welp.

We turned red states blue. See Arizona and Georgia. Huge. Absolutely huge.

Texas is turning purple. We won the Presidency with more than 5 million popular votes and you are basically saying we f**led.

I do see it as a landslide. Two new blue states is a beautiful thing as is the Presidency.

[Polybius]

52. Well, I don't

I see a landslide as 400+ Electoral Votes. I don't even view 1992 as a landslide, although I can see the argument being made for it.

[Hermit-The-Prog]

50. trumPutin called the same EC numbers in 2016 a landslide

[Polybius]

53. Yup

And we all called him out for it then.

[Hermit-The-Prog]

54. So let him and his cult refute and explain. No reason for us to do their work.

They create these inconsistencies; let them sort it out. Either their rule works both ways, or it does not work at all, and they need to explain why.

Keeps 'em busy rationalizing instead of tearing shit up.

[lunatica]

38. LOL!

I haven’t had a single synaptic explosion in my brain since Biden and KAMALA!! won.

[sheshe2]

49. ...

[Evolve Dammit]

44. Yeah. Quarter million dead, crimes comitted and will walk out and continue sedition unless checked.

Hard. With prejudice. "This ain't no party. This ain't no disco. This ain't no foolin' around. No lovey-dovey..." JUSTICE!

[AmericanCanuck]

46. Brainwashed bunch

We also have some in our party

[sheshe2]

48. That they are...

and that we do.
