If you or anyone else supports the current administration after reading this, if true, you are without question as much of a scumbag as they are (pretty big scumbags).

Business insider is NOT a leftist publication. It is dead center.
We already know that right wingers are filthy traitors. They should all be branded with a scarlet D (for Drumpf) on the forehead after the November election.
Squeal right wing piggies, SQUEAL!
In the meantime, The Gap is now *below* fourteen points!

Yeah sure Drumpfian. The green and orange lines in that pic sure look a lot like a swastika. Perfect for the Orange Crime Boss.
Yeah, about that... wrote:

7/31 Data
Loads of bad news but a couple of green shoots.
all analysis is on 7 day rolling average of daily deaths.
The good news is that if you remove Brazil and the US from the numbers, that 7 day average peaked on Tuesday and has fallen each day since.
But if you include BZ and the US, all is bad.
World: New cyclical high
USA: New cyclical high
What a colossal failure the US has been in covid management.
India is starting to go in the right direction. Still 700+ deaths every day but seems to have started down the back of the curve or at least plateaued,
The 4 problem states are massive problems.
FL: all time high
CA: all time high
TX: all time high
AZ: continues on a very high plateau.
The is the worst bit: If you add those 4 states into one giant mega problem deathstate, that state is rapidly getting worse.
Looking at the 7 day rolling average of deaths. How much that number changed week over week in combined CA FL TX AZ:
July 27: +12% worse
July 28: 14% worse
July 29: 19% worse
July 30: 20% worse
July 31: 29% worse
That's some serious disaster stuff and those numbers are getting very large.
I'll end with NYC. No signs of much of any COVID there. 1-2 deaths per day out of 8 million people. No increase in cases either. Clearly Americans are capable of stopping COVID. Come on Southerners.
Republicans are going to kill us all.
I hope Biden can fix some of this damage. But no nation will trust us for a long long time after all the promises weve broken under trump.

Trump is about to trigger record young voter turnout. Millions literally cannot live without TikTok - he’s toast if he takes that away.

I’ve been back in NY now. The subways are mostly empty and so are trains coming in from everywhere - very few commuters still. It’s August and normally a lot of people would be away but it is feeling that much more empty in the streets. I see a lot of mask wearing, at least in stores where it’s mandatory. That’s why the numbers are down, but this won’t be sustainable once schools reopen or volume of commuters picks up.

yeah no pickup at all in subway ridership. -77% and holding.
https://new.mta.info/coronavirus/ridershipSuppose the United States had a 9/11 every week, for a full year.
That's how many Americans have already died from COVID-19.
In less than six months.
So shouldn’t trumpers be angry at orange man for handing out billions to the ultra wealthy tech bosses that are supposedly destroying US jobs? And that was after he had already blown out the debt ceiling to give them a tax break. Where is the outrage Biff?
Rep. James Clyburn, the man who delivered South Carolina for Biden, seems to suggest that he's OK with a white running mate as long as Biden pledges to put an African American woman on the Supreme Court. From PBS interview:
That, to me, is priority. The V.P. is good on style, but, on substance, give me an African American woman on the Supreme Court.
Another good quote. This time from Bill Maher:
Maybe China isn't hiding all their COVID deaths. Maybe their secret is that their obesity rate is 6 percent while ours is 42.

That is good, but stupidity and dysfunction are the biggest drivers of COVID deaths in the US. We have a dumb MFer running the country and a bunch of dumba$$es trying to run their states the same way.
This tweet is so embarrassing. You have a president correcting our foremost expert with blatantly incorrect information. For reference the German spike is 550 cases a day in a population of 80 million. Florida is 9,500 in a quarter of that population and it’s not a spike it’s a lengthy stream. His following tweets are endorsing books that praise him. This is bring overmatched by the moment.

What do you think is not sustainable? Many companies are going to stay WFH indefinitely. and school looks like it will be hybrid. Testing is at an extremely high level (80K - record high recently). There’s a contact tracing program. Mask-wearing is very high. Positivity rate is steady at 1%. As it stands, it’s not crazy to think they’ll catch outbreaks fairly quickly.
