listened to GEMA numbers on covid demographics in GA as a spectator on a call yesterday and it occurred to me last night that, after a little napkin math, Georgia probably would have voted for Trump if it weren't for so many rural conservatives killing themselves with COVID from summer 2020 onward the united states is a grim loving place

We went over this yesterday if you can find it, but essentially it's a meaningless hurdle nonprofit health centers have to jump to get federal funding. They have to "prove" they passed "savings" onto customers. They are already non profit local centers. The only purpose of it is to make them fill out paperwork so the government can brag about the savings.

Is it possible to acknowledge that it's both a crass argument that your opponent shouldn't be making at all because it's objectifying and insulting, but also that they're laughably incorrect anyway? The Stepford wife look every single woman in right wing media has going for them is not good looking. I'm also not sure how it's embracing one's anything, let alone femininity and immutable differences. If you're celebrating immutable differences, then why the gently caress do all y'all look exactly alike?

Scipiotik posted:Seems stupid to fall into the trap of rating women's looks. I don't think it is a trap she has laid or that anyone (sane) is arguing that "hotter = better." It's just wild that something that should be so far beneath the former legal advisor to the President is one of the first things she wants to get into when out of office. And regardless of your opinion of her, I don't see how you can say that Psaki is "rejecting femininity" and "trying to be a man." One of the worst things that Trump did was not the appointment of toadies to thousands of government positions that are usually filled by experts. Those toadies are either Trump toadies that will follow him or toadies that will carry water for any one in power. The elevating of people who are legitimately crazy, have no self-control, or are so unqualified that they would have never even gotten close to those positions, even in another Republican administration, is much worse. Jenna Ellis was an Assistant Professor at Colorado Christian University before she became the White House Legal Advisor to the President. The guy in charge of Climate Science failed out of college while majoring in climatology, etc.

This is an argument against the Trump EO (studies seem to back this up too), but it wasn't the actual reason it was suspended.

This is the actual reason it was suspended. All Trump EOs and regulations that went into effect or were issued within the last 2 months were frozen while they draft a list of what needs to stay and go.

To be fair to the crazy former White House lawyer, she is talking about the immutable differences between men and women and not the immutable differences between all women. Under her rules, every woman can be the same as long as they are distinct from man and vice-versa.

One weird trick for avoiding the very online left is just don't go to twitter. Or start unfollowing accounts you think are being unfair. Twitter is not real life. I usually ignore Chomsky and all Chomsky related discussion. Did Virgil accuse him of teaching people languages in hotel rooms? America's favorite and most respected anarchist is an inherently suspicious concept, after all. Leon Trotsky 2012 posted:I'm not even sure what Glenn Greenwald is even advocating for anymore. He's a transmisiac gay republican who smokes weed. With bolso in there's no chance of him dying in a us invasion of brazil and he always hated black people.

Roger Ailes knew that the average Fox News viewer didn't give a single poo poo about the garbage his channel spewed out, so long as the bulk of it was spewed by either "smart-looking guy in nice suit" or "pretty blonde with nice legs".

Bad news that it is needed, but good news that people are getting reimbursed for it. Another thing that could have been a very easy layup - being ethically right and politically right - and is baffling that the Trump administration didn't even try. quote:FEMA is preparing to cover $2 billion in COVID-19 funeral costs across the US

There is nothing wrong with looking like either woman. There is something wrong with being a mouthpiece to fascist lies. They're laughably incorrect because they're providing a really juvenile understanding of both sexiness and femininity, not because one of them looks like a Stepford wife or other synonym for bimbo.

NoDamage posted:I don't think anyone here has suggested Trump is guilty of genocide... that seems like over-the-top hyperbole. Mostly just straight up negligence/incompetence. Honestly, I’d say both Trump and McConnell meet the definition here. Trump deliberately ignored the early pandemic when he thought it was harming blue states more than red states, and McConnell deliberately starved states and individuals of the funding they needed to maintain lockdown/stay-at-home orders in order to force states to reopen early despite knowing the death that would cause. That’s pretty clearly genocide even if they get to hide behind a veneer of negligence and we tend to ignore economic tyranny as gop sop.
