The only thing is - are they clever enough to think this strategy up? Either way it is a very worrying spectacle.
There is a scary logic here

The first nation is dying in front of our eyes. It is like when we Brits gave them blankets soaked in scarlet fever in a genocide when the far right of England first rocked up and stole their lands. They were fucking nasty bastards - so puritan that fucking Cromwell was not puritan enough and they had to go to the new colony to be far right religious nuts. Seems like they are doing the same thing now. The descendants of the genocide will decide that the necessary health interventions to save the first nation, seems like that they are doing a death cult shitting job of it.

This needs to happen every single day for every single death. Trump. Red Governors (mostly). Selfish right wing arseholes. They are all to blame for how this pandemic is so out of control in America. And they need to be held to account. Of course THEY don't care. THEY will never take responsibility for their role on the death train, but let everyone else be reminded when friends, relatives or neighbours die a horrid covid death who has blood on their hands. This Administration wants to turn the appalling death count into a success story and that the number is just part of a statistic.
Mr Nagy, may he RIP, is not just a statistic in the death cult toll- his family has made sure of that!
Placing blame exactly where it lies in an extraordinary obit

Fucking hell. Seriously - even if they love his racism and grit and trying to dismantle American democracy - they must surely draw the line and this level of a horror show?
Trump: "I think It's under control."
@jonathanvswan: "How? A thousand Americans are dying a day."
Trump: "They are dying. That's true. And it is what it is."
To those who still defend him - do they not understand he is talking about them - IT IS WHAT IT IS?!?! Meh to the lives of over 150k citizens...
It would almost be funny if it wasn't so scary. He is batshit crazy.
It is like a clip from Veep, except it is real

@jonathanvswan: “Oh, you’re doing death as a proportion of cases. I’m talking about death as a proportion of population. That’s where the U.S. is really bad. Much worse than South Korea, Germany, etc.”
@realdonaldtrump: “You can’t do that.”
Swan: “Why can’t I do that?”

Nazi fuckers
They started gassing us, then they started shooting us, they then started aiming for the head...

Sarah Vine knows statistically she is at less risk of dying from Covid 19 in comparison to many other communities where Covid-19 has a much more deadly impact. So when she says we all have to die sooner or later she does not really mean her. She means our working classes, our BAME communities and the old should risk death to get the economy moving so the far right tossers in power can keep their wealthy donors happy - and keep them in power - health and safety be damned. Death Cult UK Stylee.
Oh Look! Our very own Death Cult!
https://twitter.com/OwenJones84/status/12900252423754997771 in every 1,000 Britons died in the pandemic in the space of three months. These are the utterances of a death cult.

We all have to die sooner or later. If I get Covid and cop it, so be it. My time has come. I'll have had a good life, better than most in this world at any rate. I certainly don't expect the entire nation to bankrupt itself to save my sorry ass.

Tik Tok took it down. You Tube took it down. 2 million views on FB and counting and flagged or not they are demonstrating once again that they are forever ok with actual fake news as long as it makes them money. Synthetic media is only going to get more insidious as time goes on and any company who is ok with that cause profit above all else is a danger to freedom and democracy. One of the ironies of course is that Chinese owned Tik Tok - who according to Trump is risk to national security - took it down, while American owned FB did not...What does that tell you? Heh.
Another fake Pelosi video goes viral on Facebook (and of course they don't take it down)
Facebook's fact-checkers on Sunday labeled as "partly false" a video that it said was manipulated to make it appear as if House Speaker Nancy Pelosi was drunk or drugged. The video had been circulating on Facebook since Thursday and by Sunday night had been viewed more than 2 million times.
A similarly false video of Pelosi went viral on Facebook in May 2019. At the time, Pelosi blasted Facebook for not removing the video. Facebook had instead applied a fact-check label to it.
----
Stone told CNN, "Following an incident over a year ago with a previous video of Speaker Pelosi, we took a number of key steps, making it very clear to people on Facebook when a third-party fact-checker determines content to be false and updating our policy to make explicit the kind of manipulated media we will remove. And, as always, when a video is determined false, its distribution is dramatically reduced and people who see it, try to share it, or have already shared it, see warnings alerting them that it's false."

Boom, boom, shake the room.
The only thing that I disagree with is Trump being allowed to slink off the pay golf. Man needs to be in Court. Other than that splendid rant. Of course there is always a problem with the never trumpers, because they helped create the climate that allowed all those batshit crazy tea party wankers to get voted in in 2012 cause Obama and Jebus and which inevitably led to a republican party that could be taken over by Trumpism. Of course in saying that, at least they have seen the light and rants and the Lincoln Project all help towards the main goal and conservatives having conversations with other conservatives about the danger of reelecting Trump is a useful thing to happen right now, cause those, who at this point are still thinking about voting Trump, would never listen to a democrat!
