New Flag, Same #LostCause
How many Confederate battle flags came down this year to be replaced by Trump flags?
Both text & spirit of 1A is clear & correct about flags: you are free to fly and/or burn whatever flag you want, free of government interference, but market can reward and/or punish your actions as it judges them.
Republicans, who despise 1A, want to block the market from punishing people flying hateful flags, and they and they want the government to block anyone from protesting US flag: instead, we should counter free speech w/ free speech, let the market decide to punish or reward speech

Republican leadership do not care, at all, about the health, wealth, security of the American people.
If we continue to treat Republican Party as a loyal opposition, despite their leadership’s overt complicity as 315,000+ die, 10’s of millions suffer through health & economic fallout, our national security is attacked from outside & within: they will eventually destroy US.
We cannot defend US from future threats, both foreign & domestic, without accepting reality that Republican leadership is not loyal to US.

"The Russians have had access to a considerable number of important and sensitive networks for six to nine months. The Russian S.V.R. will surely have used its access to further exploit and gain administrative control over the networks it considered priority targets ...
... For those targets, the hackers will have long ago moved past their entry point, covered their tracks and gained what experts call “persistent access,” meaning the ability to infiltrate and control networks in a way that is hard to detect or remove ...
... While the Russians did not have the time to gain complete control over every network they hacked, they most certainly did gain it over hundreds of them. It will take years to know for certain which networks the Russians control and which ones they just occupy ...

Key problems with Republican Party's anti-republic conspiracy theories: they are easily disproved and lack internal consistency (i.e., they don't even make sense).
Republicans spent Obama presidency trying to delegitimize presidency w/ birther movement, but that was led by pathetic talk-show host

Republicans will spend Biden presidency trying to delegitimize presidency w/ hodgepodge of bullshit but this will be led by pathetic ex-president
Does not matter how easy the conspiracies are to debunk, or how absurdly inconsistent & gibberish they are: fact ex-president will be leading them, backed by Republican leadership, distributed by robust media networks is concerning for US.

Terrifying amount of hospitalizations and death, and it is going to get much worse in 3 to 4 weeks.
You can see from this chart, we have gotten much better in keeping people alive, conditional on them getting sick enough to go to the hospital: great! But, all of that collapses if/when the hospitals get overwhelmed. And, that is starting in many places around the country.
People keep saying we are running out of "ICU beds", but what they mean is we are running out of Doctors/Nurses/Staff & Supplies/Treatment. If you, or a loved one, gets sick over Thanksgiving, that is the cold reality of what they will face if rushed to hospital a few week later.

Unless Republicans are held accountable for their numerous crimes against US over the last 4 years, they will do it all again as soon as they regain power.
Agree that Trump Family should first held accountable to crimes they committed *before* holding office: money laundering & tax fraud. That is cleaner politically, and will expose everyone to their corruption.
Jared & Ivanka should also be held to account for whatever deals they cut with Saudi Arabia for financing, in exchange for green lighting murder of US journalist, and other example of selling US security for cash. The security risk of them being compromised cannot be duplicated.

That black line is hospitalizations and it basically pointing straight up because the number of Americans in the hospital right now for COVID-19 is exploding.
Our average *daily* deal toll of 1,160 is now higher than any point in the 2nd wave.

Our hospitalizations are 30% higher than any point in the first two waves.

This numbers are terrifying.
A week or two after Thanksgiving there will be no free doctors/nurses/medical staff, not enough treatment, and too few beds: if you or a loved one finds themselves rushing to a hospital you may not be able to get care.
