GET OUT: US politics November 2020

one of the reddit posters said "well I guess it's the ammo box - they drove us to this". amazing how these people think they're revolutionaries

On the internet no one knows that you're a dog, and by the same token no one knows when your overheated revolutionary rhetoric is just smoke blown out your ass. this dynamic on web forums tends to create a competition to see who can serve up the most bravado posturing.

but even though almost all of it is empty bragging, the problems arise when someone with no sense comes along and calibrates their actions according to what looks to them like normal and accepted ideas.

I got a tweet by Sidney Powell removed...lol

(Yes...that is one T. Gowdy subbing for Hannity.)

is he in his Milo Yiannopoulous phase?

looks like the child of Roger Stone and Zippy the Pinhead

The barrel having been scraped, I guess they're looking for the mold under it.

So I assume this means we need a reprise of the whole homophobic bigot wine farmer thread?

i don't think much rhymes with this

lol Sidney is claiming Biden has a concession speech written and that he's conceding tomorrow

i'm starting to wonder if she had a stroke or something

either that or she senses a golden opportunity to become the matinee idol of a million lunatics and monetizing it

I got a tweet by Sidney Powell removed

I understand it's a routine outpatient procedure nowadays

when you have a malignant rumor removed

I distinctly remember conservatives complaining about when Obama had his going.

I wonder if Ron Perlman was like this pre-SOA

Trump's transition period as president-elect was a damp squib. Even weeks after his inauguration he still hadn't decided on a bunch of Cabinet nominations.

these are the same people that said President Obama was out golfing during Hurricane Katrina

Anyway, Chotiner interviews the Newsmax CEO

Also, haha how pathetic

A Roger Stone-linked super PAC that's been largely dormant since Trump was elected has kicked back into gear with an effort to get Rs to write in Trump in both GA Senate runoffs https://t.co/N4EGKLWsVy

Verily I support this position.

Given this rate of acceleration, I expect the GOP to faceplant in 2024 if for no other reason than that their constituents no longer understand how the electoral system works at all. Like maybe they'll just all eat their ballots in protest of...something.

that would be huge. make it so!

Ah, art.

"I'm talkin' about civics!"

well give them loads to protest, the better the turn out for protesting in ways negative to them the better. Hopefully they can all boycott the vaccines, masks. voting etc and find a way to segregate themselves from people who need to live comfortably.
BUt somehow I bet they're still going to find a way to interfere.

From that Newsmax interview: "We’re reporting on factual evidence of anecdotal vote fraud."

Such genius

Did you enjoy the special on CNN that explained all the election security measures that make it essentially impossible for a Democrat-controlled city to rig an election? Oh, wait, that special doesn't exist. #DogThatDidNotBark

Hopefully they can all boycott the vaccines

Gonna say that I hope 47% of the country doesn't boycott the vaccine...

Agree

For at least six months, there won't be nearly enough doses to cover 50%+ of the population here (let alone the entire world) so we don't have to worry about that quite yet

I can't imagine this vaccine catching on among the more reluctant, who already largely ignore the (ubiquitous, easy to get) flu vaccine, not to mention in some cases inoculations for more serious illnesses. What will the percentage be? No idea, but I bet it'll be a low adoption rate. Too much misinformation, too much mistrust, even choice paralysis (I saw someone suggest that having multiple vaccines available might ironically lead some to inaction). I mean, how in the world can you convince someone who refuses to wear a mask or stop having social gatherings to take a vaccine that's been fast-tracked through the system? The/a question is if schools will *require* the vaccine (not sure who else could get away with issuing such a draconian order), but I don't even know how fast a policy like that could be implemented, let alone applied equitably, especially since, yeah, it will take a while before everyone has access to a vaccine.

On the plus side, anti-vaccine people seem to exist on all ends of the political spectrum, so maybe that will be the impetus that finally unites a divided America.

not sure who else could get away with issuing such a draconian order)

I mean, not trying to argue with you Josh, but I could see this fairly easily. I mean, starting in January, my work is going to require weekly testing for all staff and, if I don't keep up with it, they shut off my swipe card access to campus.

xp It could swing the other way too - for schools or workplaces, the local governent or employers demanding that people get vaccinated before they come in. Conservatives might say that there's no more excuse for preventative measures and lockdowns.

Right, jon - I figure many hospitals will require it pretty quickly for staff as well

Either way, the next 6-9 months are going to be absolutely lousy with outraged takes about "oppression", "forced vaccinations", "Gates/Soros/Biden tracking chips", yadda yadda.

not true, it's going to be a lot longer than that

Well, sure, it'll never go away, I just think the next 9 months will be the worst of it.

The tracking chip people posting on instagram on their iphones always confuses the fuck outta me

hoping that conservatives boycott the vote is an anti-democratic stance just FYI

how so?
