Can't wait to know how they explain their moral stance to their kids when they won't let them watch Frozen 3

Just once I’d like to see “for the three month period from the start of March to end of May we would expect 680,000 deaths for all causes. Instead we saw 802,000. This shows the impact of Covid which is the only new disease in town.”

That wee little bit of context is much more persuasive than simply saying 122,000 deaths from covid and then everyone jumps in with but I knew a person who died of cancer and they put it down as Covid! Or the hospital Is saying covid to get money! Add that little bit of context around it and all that BS Argument stuff just falls apart.

Note: I can’t remember the true numbers but pretty sure 122k is correct.

Keisha Lance Bottoms is the Atlanta mayor and on the short list to be Biden’s VP pick. Just tested positive for COVID (asymptomatic),

Unrelated, the Georgia governor (republican) just declared a state of emergency in Atlanta, citing increased violent crime in context of Floyd/Rayshard Brooks related protests.

Choosing a photo with Trump in it, then cropping him out, is sloppy. So sloppy that it seems... intentional.

It seems deliberate that that photo was used. There is no shortage of Maxwell/Epstein photos that exclude Trump which Fox could have used, but they chose to use the one with Trump...

SCHOOLS MUST OPEN IN THE FALL!!!

...cause I need to upgrade my Wharton degree duh.



That should tell every American all they need to know about schools opening in the fall. If schools open in the fall and you send your kid there, you'll all die by Halloween.

Ugh. Why they tiptoe around if and try to surpass the minimal bar height for clever I will never understand

The question “how stupid can you be?” was meant to be rhetorical, not a challenge

I kind of expected to hear the "I'm Donald J Trump and I approve this ad" endorsement after that one. He's always whining about people being out to get him. He's like yeah see I told you they all hate me. Poor me.

I decided to just look at the Lincoln project youtube page to view all their ADs, they are so savage and well done.

I just don't get why the Democrats can't do this, these Republicans know exactly how to get under his skin and drive him crazy, these are so great.

The ads are fun but also totally directed to Trump and very online people.

That last ad posted here is basically just a troll job and not even trying to win votes.

It's fun and meant to annoy Trump but doubt that it's tremendously effective in winning votes.

Those Lincoln ads are great for back patting. Are they changing any minds? It really comes across as a Republican image rehabilitation project. Once Trump is (hopefully) gone they’ll step in like “see we’re the good republicans!”

Their ads are cute and funny and that’s about it. They’re the video equivalent of Pelosi’s clapping.

The problem with these books is there's nothing particularly shocking in any of them. Case in point...
