Republicans fuck America, again

[Jimdamick]

This Friday, July 31, in spite of having a bill on they're desk for almost 2 fucking months, Mitch McConnell & the GOP will let lapse the supplemental aid packet that assured $600 a week in additional aid to every worker in America.
The reason?
He/they don't want anyone sued for contracting the virus
So, for over 50 million American citizens due too a fear of litigation, they are going to have they're legs chopped off, because that lapse in desperately needed funding will be fucking catastrophic
You wanna see disaster beyond the Death March of COVID-19, just watch the fucking entire country dissolve economically as a result of Republican ineptitude
This is serious shit.
A one week delay in that supplementing income is monumental for your average American, neverminded the month it will now take too restart the system again.
Of all the fuck ups, like the dozens presented so far by this Administration in response to the Virus, this one is inexcusable.
They are leaving tens of millions of people desperate for simple survival, not only from COVID-19 but from starvation & homelessness
Nice fucking job, assholes

The GOP added 8 billion onto the bill for military weapons, anyone surprised.

On CARES, I think — maybe, Steve, would you like to say something on that?

SECRETARY MNUCHIN: Well, as of now, we’re very far apart. And because of that, the President and we have discussed a short-term extension to UI and the evictions so that we have some period to negotiate before this runs out. And the President is very (inaudible).

THE PRESIDENT: We want to work on the evictions so that people don’t get evicted. We’ll work on the payments for the people. And the rest of it, we’re so far apart, we don’t care. We really don’t care. We want to take care of the people. The Democrats aren’t taking care of the people. The payments aren’t enough. The payments aren’t enough. You understand that. They’re not making the payments; they’re not making them high enough. The Democrats are not taking care of the people. Nancy Pelosi takes care of herself, but she doesn’t take care of anyone else.

If you look at what’s going on with Schumer: So when Schumer and Pelosi can get together and take care of the people, we’ll do something. In the meantime, we ought to stop evictions because that expires very soon. So we want to stop the evictions.

Q Mr. President, are you saying you want to pass a short-term bill?

SECRETARY MNUCHIN: Well, we’re looking at a deadline, obviously, of this Friday. The President is very focused on evictions and unemployment. And if we can’t reach an agreement by then, the President wants to look at giving us more time to negotiate this.

THE PRESIDENT: We’re focused on those two things. We want to take care of them now. The rest, we can discuss later. They want big bailout money for Democrats that ran cities terribly. Their cities are going down the tubes. If you look at Portland, if you look at what’s going in Seattle — Democrat-run cities, whether you like it or not, they’re terribly run, and they’re always over-taxed. So they’ve taxed them too much and they run them poorly. And we don’t like that.

And what the Democrats want are bailout funds, and what we want is we want to take care of people. And we should reward most of this country that’s well run. You know, most of the country is very well run. You’re watching a Portland and you’re watching Seattle. You’re watching New York, where they had a 400 percent increase in crime. Four hundred percent. My city that I love, that I left to do this job, and they had a 400 percent increase, and it’s unacceptable.

But most of the country is very well run, and Republican cities are very well run. And it’s a shame to reward badly run, radical-left Democrats, with all of this money that they’re looking for, for cities — to throw it away on cities that are poorly run.

Told ya to put that potato garden in James, I'm thinking I might need one myself before this shit is over. Millions of people on the street in a month or two in the midst of a pandemic will go over like a turd in the punch bowl with the electorate, a potential collapse of the mortgage and banking system would be a nasty October surprise for all, a locked up banking system, aka 2008 would be an economic catastrophe. There will be months of back rent owed and millions of vacant apartments and houses with no cash flow for the owners.

There is a hurricane in covid ravaged Texas and a potentially bad one tracking right up the middle of covid ally, the length of the peninsula, center of the predicted track is dead center on the southern coast. Landfall by Sunday, it could be a bad one too, it will be over the very warm waters of the Florida strait, before hooking north. Where are the locusts? Ya got the plague already. God's punishment for electing Trump?

 

[DIY-HP-LED]

By election day Donald is gonna near have burned the shining city on a hill to the fucking ground. As was stated it took 14 days to get to 1 million new cases, predicted 9 days for the next million and if something drastic is not done another million in the 5 days after that, the another million 3 days later.

If the curve keeps going like this you'll be looking at a million cases a day in 20 to 25 days, conservatively speaking, by mid August it will be like Hell in the hardest hit red states, Florida among them. Even if they locked down today, it will take weeks for the curve to level off, not drop. We've seen this movie before, that's the really sad part, it was completely unnecessary and a failure to care, learn, work and lead. The election in the south would be interesting, the polls for Donald and the GOP are gonna crash there even more.

 

[DIY-HP-LED]

For 40% there is no bottom, racism and tribalism have a fatal grip on them, if they were distributed across the country evenly, they would not be as big a problem. They tend to cluster in historically racist areas of the south east and where their descendants migrated to after the civil war, passing the cultural curse down to their children. This clustering of hate filled unreasoning highly conditioned people bring you the likes of Louie Gohmert and other such deplorables. It apparently can't get bad enough for 40% of the voters to lose faith in Cheeto Jesus, apparently it is the same for their representatives and senators too. This is what losers look like folks, only you're along for the ride too, ya best become winners in November, or ya will lose till ya die and that won't be long in coming. Donald's approval rating should be around 10% to 20% and will include most of those with mental health issues, not all the 33% of assholes that are in every normal country are suicidal.

Note the "red" states on the map at the bottom of the page, they are red in more ways than one now, red hot with covid, it's that way because of Trump and the GOP governors intimidated by him or just as stupid. Other red states are due to be added to the map soon and are showing signs of trouble.

Trump's Approval Rating Sinks to 17-Month Low as Election Looms Closer

An approval rating tracker found the president was backed by just 40.2 percent of Americans as of Wednesday morning.

Trump's Approval Rating Sinks to 17-Month Low as Election Looms Closer

President Donald Trump's average approval rating has sunk to a 17-month low with less than four months to go until the November elections, new polling data shows.

The approval rating tracker run by FiveThirtyEight found that the president had the backing of 40.2 percent of Americans on average, according to weighted calculations.

Trump's average job approval rating was last at that level on February 10, 2019—a little more than a month before the conclusion of the Special Counsel investigation into Russian interference in the 2016 elections.

The commander-in-chief's present disapproval rating has also hovered at a high not seen since early 2019 over the past few weeks.

According to the FiveThirtyEight tracker, which weights its calculations on the quality of individual polls, Trump's average disapproval rating stood at 55.7 percent, giving him a net disapproval rating of 15.5 percentage points.

Several individual approval rating polls have been no more flattering to the president as voters have registered their disapproval of his handling of the coronavirus pandemic.

One survey released by Ipsos and Reuters this week found that Trump's approval rating stood at just 38 percent among U.S. adults surveyed between July 27 and 28. By comparison, 57 percent of voters said they disapproved of his performance in office, landing the president with a net disapproval rating of 19 percentage points.

A further 4.7 percent said they were unsure how they felt about Trump's performance in office thus far.

Asked who they trusted more to handle the U.S. recovery and coronavirus pandemic, only a third of Americans told Ipsos that the president would be their man of choice. Forty-one percent opted for former Vice President Joe Biden as the man best suited to lead the country forward on the issues.

Another tracker poll conducted by YouGov between July 25 and 27 found that 53 percent of American adults disapproved of the president, while 42 percent backed the job he was doing in the Oval Office.

The new polling data was released as coronavirus-related deaths in the U.S. neared the 150,000 mark amid a high increase in new cases being reported in several states.

According to the Johns Hopkins University COVID-19 tracker, more than 4.3 million cases of the coronavirus had been recorded in the U.S. as of Wednesday morning, along with 149,260 deaths.

The graphic provided by Statista below shows the 21 states now in the "red zone" of new COVID-19 infections.

Not looking for an argument. Just here because I'm genuinely interested as so why the US is doing so badly with this.

It’s also where the harshest MJ laws are. But honestly Atlanta doesn’t even feel like it’s in the south, it’s a fun city with more black culture than any other, so hopefully it’ll be a diamond in the rough for marijuana reform down here. You already only get a $100 ticket for less than a zip in city limits.

 

[EvilScotsm@n]

Not most densely populated but it’s what we call the “Bible Belt” so very religious

Yeah, thats what i thought mate.
So the hardest hit areas have lesser population density but much higher than average religious density.
Could religion be a factor in it?
I've said from the get go that I found it pretty ironic that 84% of the world's population are religious (72% if you don't count bhudism).
So for everyone that dies there's a 72-84% chance they believe that iether god will save them.
Or if they die that it was gods will and was ultimately for a greater good.
Has anyone else questioned this yet?
