Illinois is 5th. Pritzker has been a surprisingly good and progressive governor. Did not expect that from a billionaire.
Not that it matters a ton but I think illinois was 5th based on 2010 census but PA has passed by like 200k.
Gov. Wolf has had a fine response to the pandemic. Not perfect. But he's also dealing with a heavily gerrymandered and radicalized legislature. He also pardoned 370 people yesterday, including I think 70 weed convictions.
Illinois has Lori Lightfoot making sure to send everyone back to school so that's nice.
CTU over-played their hand in my opinion. There’s plenty of parents who HAVE to go into work. Probably especially in the lower income neighborhoods. What are they supposed to do with their kids?

You have a point about that, but it's frustrating that it doesn't seem like we're in a place to safely reopen, that the mitigation efforts aren't in place in-classroom or especially societally to do it. We're at a level of cases and deaths that is still about as high as the April 2020 "peak" and certainly higher than when schools shut down. Most parents are electing to keep their kids home, I guess the ones who can afford to.
We're just moving too fast, imo, getting ahead of ourselves, I suppose because of the vaccine. Illinois has 6.7% of its population with two doses, so even less than that are fully immunized because of the two-week lag. We're nowhere near herd immunity yet and some politicians are acting like we've cleared a hurdle. Abbott here in Texas is one of those, too, clearly.
Without that teachers union in Chicago, the schools would have opened up a long time ago. Here in Texas there has been a combination of in-person and online learning all school year, I think, so since August of last year. Plenty of other places are like that too, seemingly the majority of places people on here have posted about.
Ok. I googled it. Congree did away with the US gov in 1870 and Trump is the 19th president of a New Republic. That sounds legit. 🙄
Where they go one, they go all. LMFAO
For anyone who doesn't know about the William Miller effect, there were apparently a lot of people who followed him from at least the 1830's. He was a Baptist preacher responsible for what became known as "Millerism" and his followers "Millerites." This was during a time known as "The Second Great Awakening." That era featured revivals, emotional fire and brimstone preaching. Religious movements, and I'm not judging, from that era include Latter Day Saints, Dispensationalism and Adventism.
Anyway, Miller claimed that the second coming of Christ would take place sometime between the March 21, 1843 and March 21, 1844. When it didn't happen, a new date was offered - April 18, 1844 due to a miscalculation. One of his main followers, Samuel Snow, then said it would be July 10, 1844. Using a Jewish calendar, that translated to October 22, 1844. So October 22, 1844 passes, and the era becomes known as "The Great Disappointment." Dates were moved to April 1845, July 1845 and October 1845 as each passed and Christ did not return. Some of the followers rejoined their old denominations, and others became "Shakers." They believed that Mother Ann Lee was Christ appeared for the second time.
After The Great Disappointment, the Millerites formed into 3 main sects. The first was shut-door theology (Joseph Turner). Another was the evangelical adventists (I know a few of them, nice people but cultish).
They simply move onto a new date or hang on a new belief that will take them to the next time nothing happens and then they'll be spoonfed some new explanation and believe that.

Venezuelans can choose to vote for whoever we want them to vote for, and we'll open up their country to ruthless American corporations that'll steal the oil.
The Biden administration talks about wanting to do more in regards to climate change, but yet supports another regime change to benefit the fossil fuel industry. Seems counterproductive on the climate front.

Wonder why anyone would prefer to talk about what donald trump and his wacky friends are up to than the current administration
It was a follow up to my previous post. It's not a preference. Nice bait try though big man. If you cared, which you don't, I'd suggest that there's some things to appreciate about the new administration and several things that suck too. Just the same, the new administration is not the only politics going at a given moment. But I wouldn't say they are the worst thing going in American politics at the moment. Not everyone on the thread is here to play circle jerk.

Oh, for sure, dude. Accusations of not really caring from Mr. swears up and down to hold my team accountable, at some unknowable future date
See you the next time 3 magas get together to rattle a fence in duluth

That's the game you're playing, I'm not. Airstrike in Syria to punish Iran, not so good. Reported aborted second airstrike in Syria due to possible civilian casualties was a little better. Handling Iran in a different way without proxy bombing them in Syria would be better still. Expressing support for a puppet regime in Venezuela? Not so good. Getting Putin's dick out of America's ass? A little better. Maximizing manufacturing might to get us vaccines in as short of time possible is encouraging. Backtracking on other promises, not so much. Children still in cages or locked up? Terrible. Extending DACA protections instead of politicizing young Americans is an improvement over what we're transitioning from. Making LGBTQ rights a federal priority? That's pretty cool rather than weaponizing hatred against the different.
There is a lot of dichotomy so far with almost every type of issue. You're fixated on posting that Democrats suck and Biden is terrible. And I read what you say and the tweets you post and consider what they say. Except I'm not a Democrat, and I'm at best hopeful that Biden can be a C- or C level president and certainly acknowledge that almost anything would look better coming out of what we are. But he's not the worst thing going in world or American politics at the moment. Nor is he or they the the only thing. I feel like the coordinated effort to restrict minority voting rights in so many states - what is it 33? - is as bad as it gets. USSC gutted voting right protections, particularly in the south, back in 2013 as I'm sure you know coupled with a hostile Supreme Court = a majority of state legislatures using bullshit as an excuse to restrict people's rights is fucked. Bills getting pushed in Tennessee have been 0 out of 10. First we had the man-gets-a-veto over abortions bill introduced last week. Yesterday one came out to reduce penalties for running cars into protesters. What even is that shit. We have Senator Johnson farcically forcing the reading of the entire Covid-19 Relief Bill on the Senate Floor. It's not even much of a political bill where maybe you could see his point. It's a rescue bill for tens of millions of hurting Americans. Pure shit. Judge Barrett issued her first written opinion yesterday affirming government over information sunshine rights. There's tons more shit. Always is.

I’m just happy Trump is not president. My overall level of anxiety is so much lower since Biden was inaugurated. Plus vaccines are becoming more available. I might be able to actually have some fun this summer.
Hmm, I would say that whatever you were going for with that big wall of text is severely undermined by the first bullet point including wholesale swallowing of imperial propaganda ("look at all the women and children we Didn't bomb, allegedly")

Ahhh the lesser of two evils level of complacency/complicity of the Obama era.
Good news-the new D's are all about flipping former Red states with this level of commitment. Drone away-I got my festy tickets. Bankers got my 401k well in order, fuck that 15 an hour minimum wage. Let the essentials live in tents.
The lesser of two evils, allowing more evil, from the ones who never promised you a rose garden.
There is more money in pretending we are stopping it, than in selling it.
A libertarian knows no solidarity and will leave you to die. And "prominent men will tear out your eyes."

Have they started referring to themselves as neanderthals yet like they did with deplorables?
Idk Esteban usually keeps us up on what's happening on the chans and he hasn't said anything.
Never been to one or those. I think I laughed at so many news stories on Google News (along with various Karen episodes) that they always send me links to read.
