2020 US General Election

Comparable to Europe if you bundled together countries to give an equivalent population.

Where is the outrage over the nursing home deaths. Gov. Cuomo literally sent cases to them.

Happened here in the UK too. And elsewhere, I'll bet. But it's not news because... I wonder why? With so many social justice warriors out there, I wonder why a few of them aren't sufficiently interested in this to, you know, push for justice? Instead they are screaming about "genocides" against blacks. What with that and Russia and the Ukraine, seems to me the left spends most of its time protesting fantasy. It's almost as if they don't believe in justice at all.

No, I don't believe 140K, for a second. I don't believe any of the stats from any country where garbage organisations like the CDC operate.

Whoever is directing this global response has done everything possible to shut down economies and keep them shut, to get as many people killed as possible.

Stats are really hard to interpret in all this but ultimately I'd suggest that the number of excess deaths this year is the best indication that this thing isn't just a fuss about nothing.



But it would be interesting to dig into the demographics of those excess deaths. I think you'll find it's mostly older people and shutting down the whole sodding economy was the wrong thing to do.

Yes - flu is dangerous to older people as it can weaken their response to a huge number of other conditions that are potentially fatal, Especially respiratory. And sick people were sent into care homes.

Sweden's response was to get as many younger people infected as quickly as possible, but try to shield those most vulnerable. They didn't do a great job on the latter, so they had a spike too, but now they must be close to reaching nationwide herd immunity so they won't have to worry about this when the rest of us are all in panic mode again come the winter.

Here, we'll all be wearing masks so the spread is impeded - though fortunately not by much, as the evidence from fanatical mask worshipping states and counties in the US clearly demonstrates.

And sick people were sent into care homes.

What do you mean by this? You seem to be implying a deliberate act.

He's like Keyser Soze, if Keyser Soze was a complete fuckwit.

What do you think he's looking at during the interview? A person (the interviewer), a man (the camera operator), a woman (Kellyanne), a camera (recording the interview), and a tv (monitor for playback).

And the American descent into fascism accelerates as unaccountable and anonymous snatch squads are deployed on American streets.

What a complete clusterfuck that once great country has become.

So the marxist tactics are very easy to understand.

If Trump does nothing then he's criticised for letting America burn.

But if he does something then he's criticised for being a fascist.

The Dems, globalists, Antifa, BLM and the media are all aligned in promoting and conducting the violence, insisting it is peaceful protest even as fires and explosions go on around them.

This gives a third strand to their strategy. Every intervention to secure law and order is painted as an act of violence against "peaceful protestors".

On the basis of this foundational lie, the fake news media now refers to the arrest of rioters as "snatch" operations. And they're not talking about Joe Biden's unique way of rewarding his interns. These "snatches" are arrests that take place once the target has been isolated from the rioting mob. It is much more effective to conduct an arrest in a controllable environment, as opposed to in the middle of a "peaceful" riot.

The rioters want to burn down buildings. And they are being arrested as a result.

Here's an example of the hate that is being poured out by the rampaging and derange left.

These hateful racists are teaching the next generation how to be as despicable as they are. It's essential to intervene and contain these hateful racists or western society will be pulled apart, which is their purpose.

It is somewhat surprising that normally intelligent and reasonable people have been so badly misled by such overt racists, rioters, wreckers and hatemongers.

Here's one of the peaceful protests at the courthouse, in progress:

A group of Republican House members, led by Rep. Louis Gohmert of Texas, introduced a resolution Thursday that would effectively ban the Democratic Party from the House or force a party name change over past slavery ties -- a response to the recent efforts to remove tributes to past members of the Confederacy from the halls of Congress.

It specifically cites the Democratic Party platform's support for slavery between 1840 and 1856, and other racist actions by party members through the early-to-mid 1900s, before calling on House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, D-Calif., to "remove any items that names, symbolizes or mentions any political organization or party that has ever held a public position that supported slavery or the Confederacy" from the House and its properties. The resolution also says such a party "shall either change its name or be barred from participation in the House of Representatives."

Gohmert, in a statement accompanying the bill, told Democrats they should rebrand to "avoid triggering" anyone.

"As outlined in the resolution, a great portion of the history of the Democratic Party is filled with racism and hatred," Gohmert said. "Since people are demanding we rid ourselves of the entities, symbols, and reminders of the repugnant aspects of our past, then the time has come for Democrats to acknowledge their party’s loathsome and bigoted past, and consider changing their party name to something that isn’t so blatantly and offensively tied to slavery, Jim Crow, discrimination, and the Ku Klux Klan."

He added: "To avoid triggering innocent bystanders by the racist past of the Democratic Party, I would suggest they change their name. That is the standard to which they are holding everyone else, so the name change needs to occur."

The resolution's co-sponsors are Reps. Andy Biggs, R-Ariz., Jody Hice, R-Ga., Randy Weber, R-Texas, and Andy Harris, R-Md. It is unlikely to pass, but appears to be meant more as a criticism of allegedly "blatant hypocrisy" around the House's approval of a measure removing Confederate busts in the Capitol this week. Weber, speaking on the House floor after Gohmert introduced his resolution, criticized "cancel culture."

"The cancel culture train, H.R. 7573, that passed yesterday, was wrong on a deep level. I'm not going to get on that cancel culture train that says we have to do away with any mention or remembrance of everybody or everything that we don't agree with, or that might have said something we don't like, didn't like, or that might have stood for something that we don't stand for," Weber said.

Because the resolution is privileged, it takes priority over other business on the House floor. And assuming it isn't dispensed with via voice vote, lawmakers would likely be forced to go on the record on the resolution, even if that's through a motion to table it or refer it to a committee.

The legislation to remove statues of Confederates passed 301-113 earlier this week with 72 Republicans and Rep. Justin Amash, L-Mich., voting in favor of it.

"Just imagine what it feels like as an African American to know that my ancestors built the Capitol, but yet there are monuments to the very people that enslaved my ancestors," Rep. Karen Bass, D-Calif., said Wednesday. "...These individuals do not deserve to be honored."
