What happened to your 30% ?

I know you’re just trolling but I’ll take the bait.

About a week after Christmas, you proclaimed that the peak for cases was reached on Xmas and cases would go down from there.

7 day avg of cases on Xmas. 198000

7 day avg for cases went up to 254000

Cases went up 28% . AFTER you said we reached the peak in cases.

You got me though. You were only off by 28% not 30%.

Kudos for admitting you were wrong (again).

Wrong.

Again.

New cases went up 10% from the peak that I called. Already explained - 3.1 million to 3.4 million.

Now, go back to your little playground and let the adults have a conversation.

Seriously, I was SO looking forward to congratulating you for admitting that you were wrong. You COULD have shown yourself to have some integrity. Instead, an empty nothing.

Just read an interesting idea.

Manchin has said he is against getting rid of the filibuster.

Why?

because he doesn't want to have to vote on dem issues like gun control and immigration. Because his electorate is hard right populist and will turn him out if he votes the D line.

So manchin is hoping the Rs will simply keep any controversial bills from getting to the voting stage.

Shows how hard this is.

It's easy to say 'have some guts, manchin."

But then he'd probably lose his seat and that would make it more likely for Mitch to get the gavel back.

And the subtext is that the Ds are worried Manchin will change parties so they have to keep him happy.

Troll, sorry you were off by 28%. You said we reached the peak when cases were averaging 198000/day. They rose to above 254000/day for the 7 day average.

Cases rose for another 28% after you said cases would start going down. You were WAY off.

What is wrong with you? Why can’t you admit that you were so off? Stop trying to spin things.

I do like how to try to change how you count cases to make it seem like you were only off by 10%. Up until today you counted cases by the 7 day average. All of a sudden you changed it to two weeks. LOL

Weak. Very weak.

The dude is radioactive:

Trump has been active politically this weekend, and plans to use threats to form a 3rd party to push R senators around.

Wapo:

Trump himself is likely to decide how vicious the coming fights will be. Since leaving office, he has played golf in Palm Beach while remaining focused on his political fortunes. In recent weeks, Trump has told advisers that he remains angry at both McConnell and McCarthy and has the popularity to drive down their support within the party. He is encouraging his most loyal Republican lawmakers and advisers to attack other Republicans for being disloyal — and is launching an effort to blanket the airwaves during the impeachment trial, according to a person familiar with his efforts.

At the same time, he has told aides he plans to keep a lower profile over the next few months before ramping his public activities back up to fulfill his vague departing pledge, made at Joint Base Andrews on Inauguration Day, to “be back in some form.”

Right, but a you tube video ain't the same as the sports world watching him hit home runs in person and on television. As is the case for any athlete, I lose interest after they retire. I'm going to watch current players instead.

It doesn't matter if some lowlife Republican House members still support Trump. The people with power, i.e., money, don't agree that Trump's sh*t doesn't smell. What he did wasn't just another weekly Trump F-up. Trying to overturn democracy is unconscionable and far worse than what Nixon or any other president ever did. The Republican party needs to treat him as if he never even existed.

I just don't get this argument.

Trump's entire life story has been searching for ways to get in the newspaper, to create headlines.

He's had plenty of failures before. Plenty. But he kept finding ways to stay relevant.

I think there is only a very very small chance that this failure is so massive that he is reduced to irrelevance.

Esp when it seems pretty clear that the trumpists have won the day in the R party.

Why wouldnt' he step up to claim his kingship? He just has to get through the senate trial first, and see what charges he is brought up on elsewhere.

You're not wrong but time is not on his side. He's had periods where he's out of the limelight for years with very little public notice although he's been able to get back in the game in the past. Both prior to and after The Apprentice he disappeared almost completely with occasional stops on Letterman's show. Otherwise you didn't hear about him. He doesn't have nearly that kind of time left.

Actually, the people with power do agree that his sh*t doesn’t smell. Sure, they are pretending to be concerned now just to play it safe, but where were their concerns and potential action between Nov 3 and Jan 6 while trump was openly attempting a coup? Barely anyone spoke out. The GOP created a monster they can’t control. The base would punish the GOP badly if they betray him at the trial. So many of them got elected by just being loyal to trump. They will hang on to that power if they can.

At the trial they will agree the attack was awful and that there were bad actors but they will remain silent on trump’s involvement. Why? Because “the trial is unconstitutional” and “trump is no longer the president” so “the Dems should stop the witch hunt and help the country heal and move on instead of being so vengeful”. They will not argue on any substance, just like with the last impeachment. They will avoid the issue completely and will keep on trumping. You guys are crazy to think the GOP is going to change, lol. There is no sign of that.

Who knows, maybe this time he will extort the GOP into paying him to stay away

https://www.washingtonpost.com/politics/trump-republican-split/2021/01/23/d7dc253e-5cbc-11eb-8bcf-3877871c819d_story.html

To summarize why trump will be acquitted, most of the 74m who voted for trump and for R Congress candidates believe the election was stolen. 2022 is around the corner and with the cover of “but this trial is unconstitutional” we can all forget about the GOP sabotaging their own power.

If that was true, why are lenders, the PGA, NY.C. and former cabinet members all rejecting him? There are, in the last few minutes, stories being released about him asking for the DOJ to go directly to the Supreme Court to overturn the election and to fire the AG and replace him with someone who would do Trump's biddings. These stories will be followed by many more that will put more nails in his coffin.

Eventually, it will be a choice for Republicans between Trump and America,

They are jumping on the cancel culture bandwagon for now to not risk public fallout. Money will flow back in when the dust settles. This trial unfortunately will not be the thing that forces the GOP’s hand on trumpism. They will not need to defend trump because they will attack the trial as unconstitutional. Another bullet dodged basically. I agree that eventually it will be a choice, but they haven’t hit rock bottom yet and there is plenty of tzeeing left. My take is the impeachment vote was just the opening shots of the GOP civil war.

More of the same

Very good days of vaccination in the US - over a million per day on a 7 day average. Good news.

Cases continue to fall sharply in the US, down 30% from Jan 11 peak

Deaths down 7% from peak

0.91% of the population has been fully vaxxed

Israel

Still not much...cases down 14%, deaths at all time high.

But I have read a few pieces showing that the target vulnerable populations over 60 that have been vaccinated in Israel...are getting the disease far less than before. So the vaccines are working.

Not wanting to business with a POTUS who defiled the office likeTrump did, is not jumping on the cancel culture bandwagon. Was Hertz jumping on the same bandwagon when it cut off ties with O.J. Simpson?

If Garland is to appoint special counsels, one of them should be Andrew Weissman. He should finish the unfinished job his old boss started.

Arizona GOP censures Cindy McCain, Jeff Flake, and Doug Ducey for not supporting Trump. Apparently, in AZ, you either tow the party line or you're no longer welcome in the GOP. This should alleviate any doubt about how much influence Trump will have going forward, at least in the short term.

But if this is where the AZ GOP is going, AZ will only get bluer and bluer. So this is good news for the Democrats.
