Awwww, shit. The White House reversed itself. The pandemic is back on: [https://talkingpointsmemo.com/news/white-house-walks-back-declaration-of-covid-victory-that-was-poorly-worded](https://talkingpointsmemo.com/news/white-house-walks-back-declaration-of-covid-victory-that-was-poorly-worded) ---

> [@Sunny\_Daze](#): > > b) until the dumbasses who are STILL arguing that it’s not worse than the flu or MAH FREEDOM get a clue and stop trying to kill the rest of us. Watched a CNN news story tracking six Trump voters and how many have changed their minds since 2016. About half did. 1 “undecided” (w/e). One that remained a Trump voter may as well have been the poster child for comorbidity. I mean he checked every single box we’ve been warned about. The only thing that saved his worthless dumb ass is that he looked too damn sick and immobile to leave the house and likely there weren’t enough people in his life who liked him well enough to come over and infect the stupid sonofabitch. When asked, his position was, “This is America and if people want to go out to bars and risk getting sick, that’s freedom and their right!” ---

> [@DavidNRockies](#): > > Awwww, shit. The White House reversed itself. The pandemic is back on: Yeah, shit. I was looking forward to maskless orgies again. I have always voted for my fringe party, just because I know that my vote in the generals means nothing. Despite knowing this, I voted Biden this time. My vote still means nothing as far as the results, but maybe all of us voting against Individual 1 might hurt his feelings. ---

> [@CalMeacham](#): > > He himself has returned from war in France with no ill effects Well, of course no analogy is perfect, but the difference between steel spurs and bone spurs is tangential to the point. ---

> [@Kamino\_Neko](#): > > In both directions. Nobody wants y’all elsewhere, as long as the plague rats have such power. Ha! The irony. Mexico might actually start paying for a wall — to keep US from moving THERE! (Believe it or not, I Iived as an undocumented resident of Mexico for most of three years, a couple decades ago. I technically never overstayed my tourist visas, and I hardly ever got paid for any work down there, but I’m pretty sure I was “out of status” for some of that time.)
