well hullo boys and girls!

Any of y'all TEXANS?

At home today on a taxpayer-paid salary day off celebrating Confederate Heroes Day?

What a country. We elect Barack Obama president AND we have taxpayer funded holidays celebrating traitorous slaver armies.

I used the Google to look it up (what a thing. Thanks for whoever showed me this website!!). I expected it to be a recently created holiday since it followed MLK Day this year. It's been around since 1973 - probably coincided with a lot of statues going up of those proud "patriots" of the United States...errr...Confederate States of America. In this day and age, why hasn't this celebration been eradicated?

I can't even imagine the festivities surrounding Confederate Heroes Day.

Mea culpa. I've been out of the news cycle this weekend. Didn't know people were talking about WYOMING of all places. Most people in the US likely don't know it exists or haven't been there anyway.

Wanting a state to secede in favor of a more universal solution is, in my opinion, unpatriotic.

A lot of people have been the target of one of the biggest misinformation campaigns ever as countries like Russia and China continue to stoke flames. Sometimes it's the obvious Facebook boomer bait. Sometimes though it's more subtle and comes in the form of what's called "pink slime news."

We also need a path toward mitigating wealth inequality which is reaching a 50 year high. There's definitely some hurdles, but I'm optimistic

It should really be called the Disunited States of America

Nobody is going to secede. This is a silly discussion.

Agreed.

You know what?

I'm going to get my hopes up for some Dem-Rep bipartisanship.

I am.

I think Mitch wants it, I know Biden wants it.

The dems instinctively want it.

The American people long for it

The insurrection might wake up some Rs to the real cost of their lies.

Bill Barr is going a bit anti-Trump. I would not have predicted that one.

I mean we all knew Trump would turn on Barr...Trump turns on EVERYONE. But Barr seemed so happy to be Trump's lawyer.

1)

William Barr, the former attorney general, said in an interview that was broadcast Monday night that doubts raised about the legitimacy of the Nov. 3 election results “precipitated the riot” at the Capitol on Jan. 6.

2)

Former Attorney General William Barr reportedly pushed back strongly on President Trump when discussing claims the president was circulating about the election being "stolen" from him.

Barr, during a meeting with Trump at the White House in early December, told the president that such theories of a stolen election were "bullsh/t," Axios reported Monday.

Other aides in the room, including White House counsel Pat Cipollone, were reportedly surprised that the attorney general had made the comment, though did not disagree with his remarks.

I won't give a US covid update today because yesterday was a holiday in the US so numbers are no doubt off. It was another good day statistically but we'll see if the numbers rise post-holiday.

Israel is still not seeing a meaningful nationwide drop in cases and deaths there have never been higher.

We've given 423K doses out of 927K doses that have been received.

Now up to ~46% of doses received have been administered - 4% of population.

reminder that that 4% number is mostly people who got one dose, not two.

The number of people fully vaccinated (two doses) is well below 1%.

Would any of us actually be upset if one of those red states was successful in seceding? Wouldn't mind there being a place for the idiots who continue to fly their Trump flags. "You don't like America? Pack you bleep and take it to Alabama." Plus, there would be 2 less red seats in the senate. Good, no?

But in all seriousness, what would that look like? What would the long term effects be? Would there need to be a wall built around the states who secede? You know, to prevent illegals from entering?

For one thing, there'd be more parity in the NCAA football if Alabama suceded.

Well, ok then wrote:

As long as North Dakota doesn't get to keep the nukes I'd be ok with it.

That is correct. I remember hearing the numbers recently of those who have been fully vaccinated and it was, as expected, very low since Georgia only received 1st batches of vaccine in mid-December.

LOL, the Dem base longs for it, but not trump's base. Everything Dem = radical commies who stole the election, period. The GOP may indeed finally man up and take ownership and start asserting a more productive and honest narrative, but that will take a long time to translate to changed hearts and minds on the right. It's a massive culture change. Just look at the whole right wing media - they make so much on selling fear and lies. Good luck GOP, although I do not think they will even try.

That's ok, they won't know how to use them :)

Nice visual breakdown of the demographics of the Biden Cabinet and how it compares to Trump's and Obama's.

I would have thought there being election fraud was silly too. But, you know.

I suppose what's changed is a big shock to the system:

1) Trump is gone and therefore less harmful to regular Rs.

2) the insurrection

3) pushback from R donors against the seditionists in congress

4) Georgia shows that states are not permanently red.

and

5) Biden, a non-controversial, centrist, old white man is president. Hard to really fire up the troops with dogwhistles against Joe Middling Biden.

That said, the Dems are terrible at politics and will overdo something that the Rs will make into the next BENGHAZI! but still. things might be a little different now.

You already showed that Fox News is posting headlines with Hillary today.

There's Hunter Biden's laptop.

The rightwing media will have no trouble firing up their viewers with anti-Biden talk.

They are much better at this with Democrats in control and complaining about them.

They were doing a dance the last four years covering and promoting Trump's lies.
