COVID is rising in several states again, and during warm weather. Looks like it'll have a field day in the fall.

Damn leftist viruses.

But please, GOP... keep pushing to reopen the economy. What's another couple hundred thousand American lives? You've got an election to win!

I was just thinking... it's pretty rich that the right wants to claim the media stopped talking about COVID all of a sudden.

When was the last COVID press conference from the doofus in chief? Aren't there any more of his home remedies he can recommend? Maybe a bamboo stick up the ass? I've heard tremendous things about bamboo sticks up the ass, tremendous things... I'm taking a bamboo stick up the ass right now. Highly recommend... what have you got to lose?

The media didn't stop talking about COVID, but the White House did.

It's f-ucking hilarious ajax doesn't get that the reason the integration of the races is problematic sometimes is because of f-ucking racists like him. Essentially what he's saying is that it won't work because assholes like him exist.
Actually it is working, even if slowly over time. Ajax knows this and it makes him upset.

I agree... it's working slowly because it's a constant fight against people who can't let go of our primitive history. Human progress would happen much faster without this regressive force.

That’s because they don’t actually read the Times or the Post.

not being banned from going to work to help democrats win an election would be a start.
That didn't happen. You are reinterpreting events to create a narrative that isn't factual.

Explicit, codified racial division in society would result in "(the) entire issue of systemic racism (being) gone"?

Seriously?
Without integration everyone you can look around to cast the blame upon is of the same race.
Without bigotry and racism, everyone you see when you look around you is another human being.

Without victimization, you don't look around for someone to blame. You look for causes to problems and identify what you can do to effect positive change, and let go of the rest.

You insist on being dragged, then curse everyone you've been conditioned to blame. I feel sorry for you. That's a terrible way to go through life.

Nice of nearly the entire developed world adopting polices more stringent than American Democrats to give them cover to win an election.

Given that it was a Democrat hoax, one has to wonder why Trump created a COVID task force. Why did he declare he'd done a great job (after thousands of deaths) managing something that he claimed wasn't real?

Sometimes I get the feeling every Trump supporter has the kind of short term memory loss the dude in Memento had, except they just keep doodling confederate flags on their bodies instead of reminders.

Recently rewatched this since our daughter hadn't seen it. Holds up well.

It's a pretty good analogy. Ajax scribbles down, "Don't believe his lies" and a license plate number to reset the conversation and perpetuate the myth he tells himself at some point every discussion. This thread probably has a half dozen instances alone.
