I made a brief foray into the responses to that tweet. Itā€™s been a while since Iā€™ve done that. Its way more critical than it used to be. Either his popularity is way down, or Twitter has done a good job of cleaning out the trolls and bots. Maybe both.

Alabama numbers are getting really bad. Do you guys have friends / family / acquaintances that are getting pretty sick? Remember when he said the death toll wouldnā€™t reach ~100K fewer than it is now?

Itā€™s insane how idiots like him can look at numbers that are certainly undercounting (see, excess deaths compared to expected) and just flat out reject reality. Still rooting for him to end up on a vent after he goes out licking doorknobs to own the libs.

Your brother is one of the dumbest mammals Iā€™ve ever encountered.

I know of an ex coworker and her husband that i would consider friends, both had extended hospital stays but survived. That was like a month ago though. I posted in the covid thread earlier this week about a tech that works for my company that i dealt with from time to time that his wife is in the hospital and heā€™s having to take off work to care for his kids and has a gofundme setup now.

No family or close friends that have contracted it. I also posted in the covid thread a couple days ago though about how my siblings and parents always do an august/sept beach trip and I had to tell them that myself, wife and kids would not be attending but i guess everyone is still going, and both my sisters will be sending their kids to school when they open, even though one doesnā€™t work. So i would say a matter of time? Heritagenothate refuses to wear a mask, claimed he would send me a video of going to walmart without a mask, obviously hasnā€™t done that. He acted like a clown when i told the rest that we werenā€™t going to the beach, saying it was going to the best one yet etc etc. I told him he was a moron basically and Iā€™m sure he would keep doing what he was doing and living large because heā€™s moron. he responded with yep Iā€™ll keep living large and not catching the virusā€¦Iā€™ll try real hard to not give him shit if he catches but Iā€™m not even sure he would tell anyone if he caught it tbh. eh who are we kidding Iā€™ll give him shit.

Yea honestly I donā€™t see any reason to keep someone like that in your life. Iā€™ve cut family members out for less.

Lol, literally no poll says that right now.

Yeah itā€™s very similar to Pride month when every large company has a rainbow version of their logo now. I dont mean to be overly cynical about it, itā€™s a good sign that social pressure makes them think they need to do it.

I didnā€™t go into detail before but Iā€™m trying to now, I told him as much yesterday that we probably wouldnā€™t talk anytime soon and when/if trump lost and comey didnt go to jail he can leave my winnings with our parents assuming he doesnā€™t welch. Blocked his number, with covid wonā€™t be seeing him anytime soon at any family functions. Informed my sisters that I was cutting him out basically and why, they both said basically that they understood and hoped it would get better. I bit my tongue until today and basically replied that maybe someone else should try talking to him because it wasnā€™t going to happen on his own but I donā€™t expect either to do so, or maybe he will grow up and change on his own but If i had to bet, nahhhh. One of them mentioned that my mom was aware that we donā€™t get along and it bothers her alot, seems pretty obvious what needs to be done from my point of view but Iā€™ve posted that my mom shares alot of his sentiments soā€¦whatever.

Cutting off toxic family is difficult, but healthy. Good job.

I am seeing one of three main responses from deplorables:

  1. silence
  2. toxic positivity
  3. full-throated denial

Iā€™m sorry to hear that man. Itā€™s tough, even when itā€™s for the best.

Youā€™re not entirely wrong, but big wins in November can undo gerrymandering. Itā€™s time to redraw.

The agentsā€™ decision to monitor the briefing appeared aimed at gleaning information from Trumpā€™s close adviser, Lt. Gen. Michael Flynn, who attended the briefing with Trump, and then-New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie, who was Trumpā€™s transition team leader at the time. Flynn was codenamed ā€œCrossfire Razorā€ by investigators, and the document heading includes a reference to his case. At the time, Trump had recently secured the Republican presidential nomination.

The summary indicates that the agent coordinating the briefing, Joe Pientka ā€” also one of the agents who later interviewed Flynn days after Trumpā€™s inauguration in 2017 ā€” paid special attention to any mentions that Trump or Flynn made of Russia.

ā€œDuring the [intelligence] briefs, writer actively listened for topics or questions regarding the Russian Federation,ā€ Pientka wrote.

Though there were a handful of mentions of Russia, itā€™s unclear whether the agentsā€™ approach yielded anything of significance. At one point, after Trumpā€™s briefers described Chinese and Russian intelligence officers operating in the United States, Trump interjected with a question: ā€œJoe, are the Russians badā€ Because they have more numbers are they worse than the Chinese?"

Oh no, the FBI followed up on intel that the Trump campaign was being manipulated by Russia, the horror. Also lol at President LAW & ORDER calling the FBI lowlifes.

heā€™s been ticking back up on rasmussen, so maybe there is a OANN one out there

I really am looking forward to the day Trump gets on a charter jet to Russia. Itā€™s actually our best outcome.

Iā€™m seeing complete silence. Everything is shifted towards liberal rioters destroying cities. Absolutely zero on Trump and COVID.
