Holy Shit.
I’d like to note that @MarcACaputo chose to wait until Trump is about to face an impeachment trial for inciting his supporters into invading the Capitol in a violent coup attempt in order to establish himself as dictator for life to respond to accusations of his being a Nazi.
📣 For those new to this 4-year saga, here's the backstory (long but crammed full of receipts): acasignups.net/20/11/18/open-…

(sigh) Let's do some basic math on Biden's start-from-scratch #COVID19 federal response, folks... acasignups.net/21/01/21/sigh-…
Let’s suppose the U.S. holds at 220K new cases daily thru 1/31 but then sees new cases drop off at a rate of exactly 2% per day.

How long would it take to get down to, say, 500 new cases per day nationally?

Thanksgiving.
How many *more* Americans would die of COVID-19 by then at that rate?

Nearly 300,000.

In short, we blew it BADLY last year and the genie isn’t gonna go back in the bottle easily at this point even if the Biden Admin does everything PERFECTLY with FULL compliance nationally.

Was listening to an eclectic playlist of stuff from the '80s when one of Bill Cosby's old standup routines came on. I immediately cringed and am deleting the album from my library. 1/
However, if I'm watching a movie starring, say, Kevin Spacey, it doesn't bother me.

I can't watch Woody Allen films anymore...but I could watch "Chinatown" without Roman Polanski being in the front of my mind even though he has a cameo in the film. 2/
I think the difference is how much they call attention to themselves. A Bill Cosby routine is 100% *him*. Even the show was literally called "The Cosby Show". And Woody Allen is ALWAYS Woody Allen; it's impossible to see him or hear his voice without immediately knowing it's him.

The responses to this are absurdly stupid. We passed 410,000 deaths yesterday. Anyone dying for the next several weeks contracted #COVID19 before 1/20, and the worst daily toll will likely hit in around a week (~5,000).

2/28 = 38 days from now. 90K/38 = ~2,400/day.
Even if Biden were somehow able to magically bring the total number of new cases down to 0 *TODAY* that'd still be a good 75,000 more Americans dying by mid-February.

And we've been *averaging* 220,000 cases/day in January so far.
Let's say that Biden's #COVID19 team were able to (again, magically) reduce the number of new cases by 5% *each and every day* *starting today* (again, magic!). That would still mean another 130,000 or so deaths by the end of March (at which point it'd be down to ~250/day).

Dems should simply say that they'll keep the filibuster until the GOP abuses it again, which will take about 5 minutes anyway.

A lot of kabuki theater here, of course, since several Dems (Manchin, Sinema, etc.) are opposed to killing the filibuster outright anyway.
Personally, at the bare minimum they should flip the filibuster rule around so that you have to have 40 *affirmative* "nay" votes in order to block a bill instead of 60 affirmative "yea" votes. This may sound like a distinction w/out a difference but it matters.
Right now members of the filibustering side get to use it as a shield--they never go on the record as formally opposing a popular bill because there was no floor vote in the first place. This at least forces them to own their vote.
