Reassuring words from The President:

This is what a dictator looks like before the power held by the people is given up. That's why we must defend our Constitution from the democrats, and stop voting the sons of bitches into office.

I bet if Trump had said this, which would've match his unfiltered approach (most of the time I appreciated), MAGA country would be cheering this on as unfiltered honesty.

Which is what it is.

First, Trump wouldn't have said it. Second, tell me what problems it is you have with "MAGA country"...

Shouts

Insults

Problem solved

You're right. It needs a few more exclamation points and nickname insults.

Second, tell me what problems it is you have with "MAGA country"...

Did I say I had problems? What I said is had Trump said this, there would be those (who criticize it) who would praise its brutal honesty.

Then if that was all you said, why did you takes the time and effort to sneer at the "MAGA" crowd? You don't even see your own bias. "If Trump had said it" his no reason to write what you wrote, because it's a false premise. Trump WOULDNT have said it. The very fact that he wouldn't have said it in the first place makes your entire point ridiculoys.

Test supplies and kits are running short. What happened to Joe invoking the war powers act to make them manufacture enough?

He’s too damn focused on using our money to buy votes.

D4 drove to Northwestern to get some bloodwork done.

The lines (drive through and walk-up) for testing were beyond belief. Like "around the block" beyond belief.

Absolute horseshit..

Was a lot gloomier with the original virus, or don't you remember? And Trump said nothing of the kind.

Tucker went after the Winter of Death speech tonight

There are now more covid deaths under Mr. Biden with the vaccine than under Mr. Trump without the vaccine

There have been zero deaths in the US from the Omicron variant

Go watch Tucker, it is really fun

I like when he plays those quick-cut things that show every cnn anchor saying the same catch-phrase

Today all the cnn people (there must have been at least a dozen on different cnn shows) used the phrase 'viral blizzard'

As in, OMG! A viral blizzard is about to hit the US!

Not any more

One confirmed death from Omicron today

How did I sneer? All I said is the MAGA crowd would've cheered such a brutally honest comment. If anything, it's a compliment that the MAGA cohort likes the unfiltered, politically incorrect, approach. I like it, too.

Well the vaccine wasn't out for the masses yet in Dec 2020. But had it been, and had Trump said something of the kind, it probably would've saved lives. Then again, in Dec 2020 Trump was focused on something else...

BTW I had my very first COVID test today. I've done a bit of business travel the past week and wanted to get checked out before being around family (especially older relatives). Did a drive-thru PCR test at a CVS, should find out in a day or two. No symptoms, just being careful. Oh, no line either... I found it pretty easy to book an appointment via the Minnesota health website.

Or, you're very early in the process, without enough circulating copies to ping the test.

What exactly is incorrect about the statement from the White House?

QUOTE
In October, unvaccinated individuals had a 5 times greater risk of testing positive for COVID-19 and a 14 times greater risk of dying from it, as compared to fully vaccinated individuals, according to data compiled by the CDC. Additionally, unvaccinated individuals had a 10 times greater risk of testing positive for COVID-19 and a 20 times greater risk of dying from it, as compared to fully vaccinated individuals with a booster.
UNQUOTE

I am sure people will say, "oh, if they want to take the risk, that is their choice.". NO, it is like a pebble being dropped into a pond. Their being in the hospital means one less bed for someone who has scheduled surgery. Which means they are putting others in danger. Etc etc Someone wants to drive 100 km/hr down a residential street. "OH, that it their choice. If they want to risk their life, they should be able to do it." Eye yay yay

Again, it gets back to the point that to live in a civilized society, there are things that we should (or must) do that we may not fully agree with.

Incorrect?

Because it's bullshit.

Breakthrough cases got up to 10% down here during the Delta wave.
