He doesn't need to bank on that to win in November. The ignorance and laziness of the American people is more than enough to carry him to a second term.

That's a very poor strategy because most red states are rushing to open today over the most populated blue states still locked down.

I think you're giving red state voters too much credit in the ole, "using reason, logic, or plain old common sense" department. No matter what happens it will go one of two ways.

A miracle happens and they don't all get Covid = Trump was right.

Everyone gets Covid and the state falls apart = Democrats are responsible.

Either way they praise Trump and give him their undying love and votes.

I guess I should be glad he's consistent?

The whole time the PR stuff was in the news I was increasingly convinced that he thought PR was a foreign country, the way he treated everyone there. I've never heard anything to convince me otherwise, either.

Here's the graph that was published by the White House's Council of Economic Advisers six hours ago on their official Twitter account. The 'Cubic Fit' model which they devised themselves is shown in red:


Here's the same graph with today's current count of 1900 confirmed deaths (not even the final count for the day) added in:



Edit: LOL the count is already up to 2100 for the day

Reach for the moon!
Today my grandpa mentioned that he went to a hardware store for the first time in a while and there were people lined up past the front entrance waiting to get in because it was so packed. They also were requiring masks for entry and selling them for 1 dollar if you didn't have one. But then he was like "SIGHHH that's socialism for you, cj!!" and I don't even get what he meant. What does that even mean. Is his brain just soup because of fox news and he thinks everything that's not the status quo is socialism??

Edit: he then went on about how he wouldn't want to live in Canada because he'd have to wait for months to see a doctor because it's free and he'd rather pay to have faster visits which is not at all true and an insane thing to say but I didn't want to argue with him

Thanks, quoting this to so I can find it again more easily.

I can't stop thinking about how the michigan protest was an insane demonstration of stupidity but also of white privilege. Disgusting that they're using their guns to intimidate people like that. "Oh no it's open carry I just happened to have a rifle while I came out to protest today"

After the North Tower got hit, Rick Rescorla (American hero), head of security for Morgan Stanley in the South Tower, called up the NY Port Authority to report what had happened. Their response was, "It's handled, go back to work."

Rescorla told them to piss off and immediately began the evacuation. He saved thousands of lives.

In St. Augustine, Dan Hill was laying tile in his upstairs bathroom when his wife called, “Dan, get down here! An airplane just flew into the World Trade Center. It’s a terrible accident.” Hill hurried downstairs, and then the phone rang. It was Rescorla, calling from his cell phone.

“Are you watching TV?” he asked. “What do you think?”

“Hard to tell. It could have been an accident, but I can’t see a commercial airliner getting that far off.”

“I’m evacuating right now,” Rescorla said.

Hill could hear Rescorla issuing orders through the bullhorn. He was calm and collected, never raising his voice. Then Hill heard him break into song:

Men of Cornwall stop your dreaming;

Can’t you see their spearpoints gleaming?

See their warriors’ pennants streaming

To this battlefield.

Men of Cornwall stand ye steady;

It cannot be ever said ye

for the battle were not ready;

Stand and never yield!

Rescorla came back on the phone. “Pack a bag and get up here,” he said. “You can be my consultant again.” He added that the Port Authority was telling him not to evacuate and to order people to stay at their desks.

“What’d you say?” Hill asked.

“I said, ‘Piss off, you son of a bitch,’ “ Rescorla replied. “Everything above where that plane hit is going to collapse, and it’s going to take the whole building with it. I’m getting my people the gently caress out of here.” Then he said, “I got to go. Get your poo poo in one basket and get ready to come up.”


If you're at all interested in reading about him, this is THE BEST thing that's ever been written about 9/11:

The Real Heroes are Dead

You'll have some dust in your eye by the end of it.

I know this is from a few pages back but I live in the town in England where Rick was from, and walk past the little memorial for him quite often. A decent Cornishman.

Grandpa's mad because the tv said so again, well, time to disown him and make your folks cry and poo poo. Cool story.

Well I got the antibody test at the hospital I work at, and tested positive. So either I was asymptomatic the whole time, or the really bad sick time I had in early February was it. Then again our tests are at BEST 70% accurate and sometimes it takes 3 tests over 2 weeks to confirm a positive for patients who show absolutely key symptoms so who the gently caress knows. Which is great when we wear a level down of PPE that doesn't really do much and then staff has to be quarantined for 4 days to see what happens.
