Missouri just put out new guidance for schools that basically says "quit quarantining people" - spamlet Nov 12, 12:16 6
- That's... not how this works. - 🦃Spawn🦃 Nov 12, 12:26 2
  - We have friends that live in the exurbs that got a phone call one night saying they ran out of bus drivers so their bus simply won't run tomorrow. - spamlet Nov 12, 12:27 1
    - "... So have fun!" *click* -- nm - 🦃Spawn🦃 Nov 12, 12:27
- Yeah, that's against CDC guidelines. Good thing COVID isn't raging out of control in MO. -- (edited) - loosilu Nov 12, 12:17 2
  - That's what our county said when saying they were going to ignore the Governor's office again. -- nm - spamlet Nov 12, 12:18 1
    - Good for them. -- nm - loosilu Nov 12, 12:18
Trying to wrap my head around the type of person who simultaneously claims that the vaccine news was held back to hurt Trump... - znufrii Nov 12, 12:10 11
- The virus is fake, so they needed to make a vaccine to break people from their fear of the fake virus - Reagen Nov 12, 12:28
- I absolutely have no interest in engaging those types of individuals on Facebook or in real life. My Aunt was tirading today. I just skipped to a new - Pippy - wall to wall trash pandas Nov 12, 12:14 5
  - The 30-day ignore feature on Facebook works miracles. -- nm - David Nov 12, 12:24 3
    - The lifetime ignore Facebook feature still wins. -- nm - 🦃Spawn🦃 Nov 12, 12:27
    - Yup. Though my election bans have started to expire and it may be too soon yet. -- nm - spamlet Nov 12, 12:26
    - (Someone I've known since first grade said something Pat Robertson would have found homophobic.) -- nm - David Nov 12, 12:25
  - Trump specializes in destroying families. Think about it. -- nm - loosilu Nov 12, 12:18
- i would ask for clarification. "Sorry, I am a little confused..." -- nm - Andie Nov 12, 12:11
- aw come on, do it. -- nm - loosilu Nov 12, 12:10 2
  - "loosi wants to know..." -- nm - amanda jeans Nov 12, 12:14 1
    - ha! You know I'd jump in. -- nm - loosilu Nov 12, 12:14
Meanwhile, here’s something that doesn’t help. - Tim Nov 12, 12:09
The Pope congratulates BIden. For anyone who's been following, the pro-life crowd has been saying he's an excommunicated Catholic. - loosilu Nov 12, 12:04 4
- Right. I wouldn't be surprised if he had been denied communion at some point, but that's worlds away from excommunication. -- nm - Apple Baron Betty 🥧 Nov 12, 12:15 3
  - I would be shocked if he had been, unless he happened to land in a church with a freak priest. -- nm - loosilu Nov 12, 12:17 2
    - How soon they forget. South Carolina, 2019. -- (link) - jnine Nov 12, 12:26 1
      - There's your freak priest. -- nm - loosilu Nov 12, 12:27
a link off of JenBro's link might be the saddest thing I'll see today - Scott Baio rearranging mugs at Michaels -- (link) - crash davis Nov 12, 12:04 4
- Seems healthy, safe, and smart during a pandemic. -- nm - David Nov 12, 12:09 1
  - See 2, below. -- nm - 🦃Spawn🦃 Nov 12, 12:10
- 1. Aren't those candles? 2. Does he work there, now? -- nm - 🦃Spawn🦃 Nov 12, 12:07 1
  - Either that, or maybe he is into scrapbooking his times with his Orange Crush. -- nm - crash davis Nov 12, 12:15
A passenger aboard the first cruise ship to set sail in the Caribbean since the start of the pandemic has tested positive for Covid-19 -- nm - mara Nov 12, 12:02 4
- this is how you bring an industry back -- nm - crash davis Nov 12, 12:06
- What the ever-loving f*ck is wrong with people? -- nm - znufrii Nov 12, 12:06
- I want to say I can't believe there's a cruise, but of course there is. -- nm - loosilu Nov 12, 12:05
- because of course. -- nm - mud Nov 12, 12:04
Chicago issues stay-at-home advisory that will take effect on Monday -- (link) - Remlik Nov 12, 11:57 2
- Good thing I'm essential work and can ignore this at work (our building address is technically Chicago (near O'Hare)) -- (edited) - oblique Nov 12, 12:02 1
  - It's also an advisory, not a mandate. I think they are just urging people to avoid non-essential contact. -- nm - pmb Nov 12, 12:14
I'm realizing right now that what 45 has normalized more than enough else is insanity. - David Nov 12, 11:50 9
- It also shows the poor state of education in this country. Civics should be mandatory. All of these people screaming about voting conspiracies seem to - jnine Nov 12, 12:34
- I don't remember if this was a thing before 45 or not - Strongbad Nov 12, 12:22 1
  - it wasn't. -- nm - Andie Nov 12, 12:23

  - "Why do we even have that lever?" - David Nov 12, 12:01
- Right. People kept going "You're not paying attention! Scandal {B} is a distraction from Scandal {A}!" (Repeat until you start using Sanskrit letters) - Reagen Nov 12, 11:52
- But see, each time we are shocked another one hits, so then we refocus and we start to get shocked and then another... -- nm - 🦃Spawn🦃 Nov 12, 11:51 2
  - I'm happy we're still shocked. It would be worse if we weren't. -- nm - loosilu Nov 12, 11:52 1
    - There was definitely numbness. That's why none amounted to anything in terms of pushback. Too many. By the time one got traction there was another. - pmb Nov 12, 12:17
If anyone is interested in a 30% off coupon for 23andme, I have two. -- nm - loosilu Nov 12, 11:49
Illinois again smashes record for COVID-19 hospitalizations. +12,072 cases and 43 deaths. 12.6% -- (link) - oblique Nov 12, 11:46 13
- I have a friend in WI who has it, pretty mild case luckily so far. 4 local friends of hers are all posting about what their symptoms were like. No - jnine Nov 12, 12:42
- There are others here that would know better but reporting is our hospitals are basically full, mainly from transfers from rural areas. -- nm - spamlet Nov 12, 12:19 2
  - Not in the latest readout. I'll keep an eye out. That's actually good, only the really bad situations are in it. They may not be there yet. -- (edited) - loosilu Nov 12, 12:26
  - I can check. -- nm - loosilu Nov 12, 12:21
- Our average daily case rate here has tripled in the past six weeks or so. -- (edited) - znufrii Nov 12, 12:05
- People in middle America have followed Trump's lead and just given up. They normalized it, which is stunning. - loosilu Nov 12, 11:56 4
  - 242k and growing is his worst legacy. So, yes. -- nm - 🦃Spawn🦃 Nov 12, 11:59 3
    - That's what I mean. THis is how you get to one million. -- nm - loosilu Nov 12, 12:03 2
      - Typhoid Trump -- nm - 🦃Spawn🦃 Nov 12, 12:12 1
        
        Three weeks from now, it's going to be a horror show. -- nm - loosilu Nov 12, 12:14
- I got a haircut today in case they decide to shut us down again. -- nm - Apple Baron Betty 🥧 Nov 12, 11:55
- We are all doomed. -- nm - 🦃Spawn🦃 Nov 12, 11:54

TWO HOURS TO DISNEY'S ANNUAL REPORT WEBCAST! -- nm - Mop Nov 12, 11:38
"I’m not the President." -- (link) - mud Nov 12, 11:31 18
- Gina Haspel has more balls than most of the people in this administration. -- nm - crash davis Nov 12, 11:34 15
  - Jeremy Bash (on MSNBC) approved of her. - loosilu Nov 12, 11:43 8
    - cool, not as cool as pmb & Ann Coulter, but still cool 😽 -- nm - crash davis Nov 12, 11:53 7
      - I didn't know that one! -- nm - loosilu Nov 12, 11:56 6
        
        I'm trying to take a lesson from 45. If I keep saying they had a thing in law school long enough, people will start to believe me. -- nm - crash davis Nov 12, 11:57 5
        
        like you and Palin did. -- nm - Remlik Nov 12, 12:01
        
        Why would you do that to pmb? -- nm - loosilu Nov 12, 11:58 3
        
        because his frantic "it was my friend" denials amuse me. -- nm - crash davis Nov 12, 12:00 2
        
        IT WAS MY FRIEND!!!!! - pmb Nov 12, 12:22 1
        
        "it" -- nm - loosilu Nov 12, 12:28
  - I guess. She certainly has kept a low profile anyways -- nm - mud Nov 12, 11:40 5
    - She is an example of Trump seizing on one thing about a person and totally misjudging what they are all about. -- nm - crash davis Nov 12, 11:42 4
      - what is his issue with her? is she not enough of a toadying Lindsay Graham style-stooge or something? -- nm* - Diva🦃🦃🦃 Nov 12, 11:43 3
        
        She is not sharing intelligence for them to cherry pick to say the Dems ginned up the Russia connection, among other things. -- nm - crash davis Nov 12, 11:44 2
        
        oh, so she's actually trying to do her job and protect sources and the country. I get it now. -- nm - Diva🦃🦃🦃 Nov 12, 11:46 1
        
        Like a bitch! -- nm - David Nov 12, 11:49
