Why the living hell did Alabama elect an idiot who doesn't know anything about Government or World War II? His name is Tommy Tuberville, by the way. As if that wasn't enough, Tuberville has no Political Experience, he was a football coach, and he told a fan to "Go to hell" and to "Get a job" in 2016. Alabama needs Doug Jones now, more than ever. But Alabama is out of luck if they want Doug Jones for another 6 years.

You'll find a depressing number of people who would either back him up or refuse to say he was wrong just because he has an R beside his name

I mean, he's not wrong, and the answer is because 2020 sucks.

I'm betting you anything that this is the closest we'll get to a concession out of Trump.
Also, how long until Twitter bans Trump? I honestly think they won't as long as he's President. But after 12:00 Eastern on January 20th? His days on Twitter are numbered.

Million MAGA March, to no one's surprise, degenerated into violence last night, with Black Clad Antifa fighting Black Clad Proud Boys in the streets. Both sides are showing footage of black clad individuals committing various crimes claiming it was the other guy.

Seeing the latest conspiracy theory starting to surface on Reddit in which they claim that the US military raided and seized a server holding US election data in Frankfurt after a random republican Representative claimed to have been told about it by a unnamed source. Said raid has received zero coverage by any european news organisation. So apparently operational security was so tight that no media even knows about it after the fact but was also simultaneously so lax that someone would just leak that it occurred to a random congressperson.
So yeah, that's the level of delusion that you are dealing with. I'm sure you'll have a good laugh at the idiocy of the claim in particular, Baron.

Indeed, the "Million" MAGA March that would be lucky to even break 100,000. www.yahoo.com/huffpost/kayleigh-mcenany-trump-maga-march-crowd-085632021.html

I don't even know where to start...
I suppose the part that makes the least sense is that it's in Frankfurt. I could see it holding together as a story if the target was one of the various former NATO bunkers that serve as massive server farms around Germany, at least long enough that it might make it to the end of a news cycle before anyone was the wiser. but Frankfurt? That'd be like going on a raid with a matching band. We'd have heard about it on the news before the raid was even over.

If there's one thing this election's made clear it's that the stereotype of the boorish American that knows absolutely nothing about the rest of the world apparently exists for a reason...

After seeing recent comments regarding covid on a bbq forum I visit, I've come to the following conclusion: people who refuse to wear masks are no better than drunk drivers. They choose to recklessly endanger the lives of others out of their own selfishness and ignorance, and like drunk drivers, they'll almost certainly walk away unharmed while someone else dies.
Just what is it with these people?! They'll trust a plumber's expertise to fix their plumbing. They'll trust a mechanic's expertise to fix their car. They'll trust a welder's expertise to build a good smoker. But if a trained and educated doctor/scientist tells them what they need to do for their (and other's) health...

They're also the same people who gleefully look forward to America being invaded (somehow) where they'll hide in bunkers, eat rats to survive, and support their country above all else, but immediately freak out when asked to wear a mask to support their country and fellow citizens.

I guess one of the things that really burns me about these people is they'll claim I'm living in fear or giving up my rights/freedom. No, I am exercising rational caution and being a responsible member of society by considering the safety of others.

I think that's honestly the most upsetting part. I've been honest and vocal that I don't think my job should be open right now, especially with cases ballooning out of control in my state. But my boss had a complete conniption fit with me because I 'need to be more positive'. She used to be a nurse but she went to the beach this summer on lockdown like it was a damn vacation.
I work in a theater that's lying it's ass off to us about how we're doing financially, and also lies about how safe it is to the public. I feel like at some point I'm going to be complicit in killing someone. As many people as I make wear masks in the lobby and give masks away for free, we're down to two hundred and cannot order anymore, they still take it off the minute they get into the theater. Our company makes the bold faced lie that our HEPA air filters clean the air, bullshit, it's a fucking cave with no air flow.
But fuck me for not wanting to kill people or my own family right?
