40% are in for a rude awakening:

It’s amazing that a pandemic is a partisan political issue, but not so surprising with science like climate change being a partisan political issue. I’m waiting for gravity to become a partisan political issue.

Some people are going to get a rude awakening. And bullshit from Dear Leader isn’t going to help them.

3961

Oh shit, if that’s not black humour I don’t know what is. Was that a real video? If so, did everyone make it out alright?

3962

It’s special effects from a film, thankfully

3963

That’s a scene from an excellent Swedish film called Force Majeure. The new Will Ferrell/Julia Louis Dreyfus movie Downhill is a remake of it.

3964

Ironic that in the film, the avalanche was a controlled one and the people on the viewing deck were not actually in danger.

3965

Amazing if true:

(And really, why wouldn’t it be true. Seems like the most Trump thing imaginable.)

3966

DJT only knows buying off people and things. Of course it’s true.

3967

I support all of this.

3968

I actually have that printed and posted above my toilet.

(Not really, although I do hope Trump gets it)

3969

I assume Germany can block or even nationalize the company, if it comes to it…

3970

Too bad thoughts and prayers don’t work.

3971

Maybe this is what it will take to make half the country notice and wake up. Ted Cruz retweeted the article.

3972

Everyone knows he’s some RINO nevertrumper (said fox news always since today).

I hope more republican leaders get on board the reality train. Any mitigation we attempt needs everyone on board to succeed. Well, that, or republicans all get infected, a bunch of them die, and they start to build up the herd immunity.

Is this the demographic change we’re looking for?

3973

No delivery slots for 2 weeks, fights breaking out at supermarkets and lines stretching round car parks. This disaster movie turned out to be a 28 part boxset.

3974

Fuck Newt and the cheap digs he makes. “Oh, think of all the homeless people in Seattle and San Francisco.” The GOP has never given a flying fuck about the homeless except to make digs at the liberals. The GOP would be happy if the homeless died.

Fucker, he says Italy is hard hit because it has the second-oldest population in the world. If you really want the GOP faithful to take notice, mention Florida. “God’s waiting room.”

3975

Yeah, he stuffs in a lot of partisan bullshit to what would otherwise be a useful article. Imagine that. ‘Trump’s decisive decision was exactly right’ et al.

But it might convince a few morons to alter their lifestyles.

3976

I spoke with my dad and he was ranting last night about how only Fox was reporting on COVID 19 in January while all the other liberal networks were obsessed with impeachment. I don’t know where this stuff comes from but i’m 99% sure it’s some Fox program. It’s frustrating that he knows my disdain for Fox when we speak and so he constantly claims he “never watches, or maybe… sometimes watches every now and then” Fox, yet when I saw him over the holidays I noticed that the only channel saved on his TV’s bookmarks was Fox News.

This is literally straight from Tucker Carlson. Posted it up thread.

3978

Interesting. Tucker really appeals to these guys. When I visited my uncle-in-law several months ago, about the same age as my dad, he loved Carlson and was enthusiastic at the prospect of him become President.
