This is too good to be true, but I think it is. I haven't been this happy in ages.

Please God, let it be. I cannot stand Kelly Loeffer. Sure, they are both awful, but insider trading off a pandemic? Plus dabbling with the Klan? I find that beyond redeption, not that she's sorry in the first place.

Every day until January 20th feels like a month. The last 5 years feel like 20 to me. Like all of us, I need this to be over.

I'm sorry to hear this. Feeling down about all of this loss is normal, especially because it didn't have to be this way. @amybrickwallaceI am sending good thoughts to you and your brother. I am very glad to hear this. With any luck you can get the vaccine soon.

I agree it doesn't accomplish anything. I guess I don't think it needs to. I'm completely apathetic to his well being. If after everything he's done harm comes his way, so be it. I wouldn't harm him personally, btw. I think it's to get his voters. They know what they are doing won't change anything. Trump himself is only doing it as a grift. He knows he's out, although (God help us) it sounds like Ivanka might run for the senate.

Ya'll are so much nicer than I am. He has harmed millions of people and I do wish him harm. This is beyond unacceptable.

If only this could be a wake up call, but I'm not that hopeful. We need to pull together, but so many people are lost in this Trumpian, QAnon fantasy world there is no reasoning with them. Apparently, only about 60% of the population even wants the vaccine at this point. We are in for a hellish few months coming up.

I would time travel back, but I certainly wouldn't make anyone else live through it again. I think I'd be happier without the matrix (cellphones, social media). Then again, who knows? I've changed so much it might be unbearable.

Yes, he did. Getting screwed over like that would have discouraged a lot of people, but SA just fought harder. I have tremendous respect for her.

The pardon of the Blackwater f*ckers is one more stain on our nation. I made the very big mistake of reading the details of the case just now. I knew the fact that two children died, but not how. This is the type of case that makes it hard for me to say I'm anti death penalty. If I am, it's only because I don't believe it can ever be administered fairly. Nevertheless, if I were on a jury I would have had no problem sentencing these bastards to death. I hope every one of them rots in hell. I'm posting the link some of us just have to know, but don't read this unless you're soul and mind can take it. https://www.cnn.com/2020/12/24/opinions/blackwater-defendants-pardon-trump-opinion-oconnor/index.html

He seems to be mixing up what is in the Covid bill with what is in the omnibus bill. Twitter is going nutty about the foreign aid they thought was in the Covid bill, but like Trump they made a mistake and can't be told otherwise. It's one thing for those of us in the peanut gallery not to know ( I certainly wouldn't have), but the President himself and some of these reporters? Unreal.

I hear you. There is so much corruption in our system. So many rich people got these huge loans, while the small businesses who needed it didn't get anything.

Yeah, that's pretty gross. Maybe it will help some restaurants survive, but as always the Republicans show their priorities.

Right. The Republicans had the upper hand in more ways than one. If you are Nancy Pelosi you care that every single day that goes by means another day of food insecurity for millions of people. I'm guess the Democrats also look at this in terms of economies of scale so to speak. A desperate single mother of three is getting $2,400. That is enough to help in the short term. It might be enough to bridge some people until things get a little better. I really feel for single people though. Politicians are always going on about families, but what about a single person who's rent is $1,000 a month? In a decent society we would be paying people a reasonable amount each month to stay home. If it wasn't obvious before, it is increasingly clear that America is only for the strong and the lucky. Good luck being those things your whole life. 🙃

I'm torn. Obviously $600 is [!@#$%^&*] for people who are months behind on rent. I guess it will help some of the families lined up at the food pantry and the people who will qualify for some extra unemployment. I'm glad that the people going hungry are getting something, but these heartless Republican bastards do not care anything for the poor and struggling at all. I despise every one of them.

Coronavirus/Covid-19 Discussion Thread
What this situation has taught me is that we are very lucky that this virus doesn't have an even higher death rate. If it did we would really be screwed because people on a large scale lack sense and discipline of any kind. It's shocking and it's not all Trump. He didn't help, but he doesn't account for the people in other nations who are flouting the rules at every opportunity. On top of that you have the stories of rich nations hoarding the vaccine. https://www.bbc.com/news/health-55229894 Some have purchased much more vaccine than their population needs. So I guess the plan is to let the virus rage among the poor and develop mutations, coming back in a form our vaccine doesn't protect against. Meanwhile, Angela Markle seems like the only real leader with sense, but is anyone with power listening to her? It doesn't seem like it.

This is so f*cked up, which is to say not surprising. There is nothing these people won't do including sabotaging their own country.

Happily, but I wonder what the plan will be? How do you imprison people (hoping Ivanka and some of the others go down as well) that have a ton of intelligence info. Do they just put them in solitary? Even then it seems like there is always going to be a security flaw (guards, warden). With any luck we'll find out shortly. So much of this feels like a day late and a dollar short, but ok, I guess.
