More Than 85,000 COVID Patients Hospitalized In New Record High | Talking Points Memo

But this morning the transition is beginning its first full day. I hope some progress can be made before the inauguration. Preparation at least. Good things happen when serious professionals talk about how to handle a situation, with the resources of an advanced nation to draw on. And maybe now that he’s at least on one level seen reason about his future, Trump can stop telling us what a good job he’s done. That would be progress too. Meantime, mask up and avoid indoor crowds, gang. Ways to go yet.

There hasn’t been a day gone by since the election where he’s given a shit about anyone but himself.

Scratch that.

There hasn’t been a day gone by since he took office where he’s given a shit about anyone but himself.

There hasn’t been a day gone by since he came down that fucking escalator where he’s given a shit about anyone but himself.

Scratch that.

There hasn’t been a day gone by since he built his business after inheriting $400 million from his dad where he’s given a shit about anyone but himself.

Scratch that.

There hasn’t been a day gone by…
You get the idea.

You’d have to go all the way back to him soiling his diapers or when he reached the stage of cooperative play to see the genesis of what we have today with the Golden Grouse.

Replace “winning” with “whining” and I think he’s finally got it.

Guess it didn’t “just disappear” after all. We really do need to prosecute him once he’s out of office.

But according to Senate Majority Leader McConnell, this is all lies.

Then again,

But notice that McConnell doesn’t do as he says, as he wants to protect himself, but the hell with the other people. Same with Senator Paul - another wack-o. Is anyone surprised? Both of these men, in light of their leadership positions, are responsible for the unnecessary deaths of 153,000 US citizens.

And yet we’re still arguing with one of the two major parties and nearly the half the population even about wearing goddamn masks. Wrap your head around that.

The lines were so long for tests in NYC, the waits were 5 hours. These are the people getting on the planes – and trains and into their cars – to go home for the holiday. No matter that one test isn’t real clearance and is meaningless. Here they go – straight from the NYC subway system to mom and dad, and you red America. Good luck.

While the Gov. of Texas fiddles, El Paso suffers. This is inhumane.

El Paso is expanding to 14 mobile morgues and plans to spend a quarter million dollars on a 3000ft refrigerated warehouse to handle the influx of deceased bodies that require medical examination as covid surges. https://t.co/2DqDviLnNK pic.twitter.com/opHGMxDK2C

Rural states and voters chose this. I don’t feel bad for them.

I’m in Lubbock county and a lot of them DIDN’T choose this.

It’s a fuck-ton harder to be a progressive in a red state. Ask Molly Ivins.
