in the first couple of seconds which is all I watched. I don’t have time to watch such nonsense from children, tell me what liberal pitch he made. I’m sure he pretended to claim he speaks for us all, amiright?

If you, and hopefully others, are willing to explore WHY nearly 90% of Americans (including Catholics) want this tragic option to remain legal...then perhaps you'll understand why this is such a huge trope...there is NO "pleasure" to be found here...

reducing the number of abortions...don't keep hiding your head in the sand regarding this overwhelming statistic.
We are about to lose sports again, at least for a while, I fear.
If people (“people”) take health care advice from Sarah Palin, then they deserve what they get. Our ER docs don’t deserve it, though.

We've actually done fairly well - as a firm - during the lockdowns etc. I am one of the lucky ones who can work from my home office just as easily as my office office. Most of us can at my place so it's not a terribly big shocker.
FYI - Tyger...I'm just busting your balls. No need to get twisted. Annoyed at your lack of recipes for the holidays but whatever....

From the article:
Blogger Charles Gaba, who has been tracking coronavirus death rates by county, reported Monday that since June 30, there have been about 117 deaths per 100,000 people in the reddest 10 percent of the United States (as measured by counties’ vote share for Donald Trump in 2020) — nearly six times the death rate of about 21 per 100,000 in the bluest decile. Likewise, the 100 million people who live in the most pro-Trump 30 percent of the United States had a death rate of about 98 per 100,000 since June 30 — more than triple the 30 per 100,000 among the people who live in the least pro-Trump 30 percent.
In the early days of the pandemic, those in urban areas — Democratic strongholds — were disproportionately likely to die from covid-19. That leveled out in January of this year. Then, the vaccines became available, and the delta variant struck. In August, there were more than 7 deaths per 100,000 in the reddest counties for every 1 death per 100,000 in the bluest. This month, Gaba projects there will be 5.62 deaths per 100,000 in the Trumpiest 10 percent for every 1 death per 100,000 in the least-Trumpy decile of America. (Gaba’s data is consistent with other recent studies.)
The cause of the disparity, which persists when accounting for age and health-care access of the different populations, is obvious: As of Dec. 20, among the bluest 10 percent of the population, 68.8 percent are fully vaccinated. In the reddest 10 percent, only 41.9 percent are fully vaccinated. The pattern is consistent through all deciles of the population: the more pro-Trump, the less vaccinated the population — and the higher the death rate.
Little wonder. In Washington, Republicans threatened to shut down the federal government to block a vaccine mandate, and they are still trying to force President Biden to veto their attempt to overturn the requirement. Republican-led states are fighting mandates and even incentivizing people not to take the vaccine. And Fox News and similar outlets have filled the airwaves with vaccine paranoia.
Turning Point USA’s Americafest, where Palin spoke this past weekend, was a revival meeting of the death sect. The group fights coronavirus vaccine mandates, and its leader, Charlie Kirk, told the gathering that the federal government’s top infectious disease expert, Anthony Fauci, “should be in prison.”
The speakers included the usual suspects of the Trump-Fox nexus: Carlson and Palin; Reps. Matt Gaetz, Marjorie Taylor Greene, Lauren Boebert and Jim Jordan; Sen. Ted Cruz; Jesse Watters, Greg Gutfeld and Jeanine Pirro; Donald Trump Jr.; Seb Gorka. Kyle Rittenhouse, recently acquitted after killing two people at a racial-justice demonstration, appeared on Monday.

"The victim, aged between 50-60 years old, was at higher risk of severe complications from COVID-19 as he was unvaccinated, the health department said in a statement."...Again..."WAS AT HIGER RISK OF SEVERE COMPLICATIONS FROM COVID-19 AS HE WAS UNVACCINATED..."
Sadly, this will not be the only statistic in this country given the exceptionally high rate of transmission...doubling every 1.5 - 3 days. This variant was only identified on Nov. 11th in Botswana and then shortly thereafter in South Africa (they have world-class monitoring capability there)...it then went to Europe, where 7 deaths were very recently recorded in the U.K...as mentioned in a MedPage article I linked..."Data Debunks 'Milder Omicron"...there is no evidence that Omicron is less virulent (severe) than Delta...in spite of what Baron might tell you...good grief, even Trump told everyone he got a booster shot.
You're an adult...make a decision as if your life and those around you depended on it...get vaccinated (3 shots), wear a mask and social distance...basically, "hunker down" for awhile.
