    I'm not sure if cloth masks work properly. They don't adjust correctly.

    Yes, they do. It also depends on the design of the mask. Every company/manufacturer is different, as well as depending on the shape/size of your own face.

    Personally, I find regular disposable surgical masks to not fit so well, particularly on the sides of the face. In which you can double tie the side strings to create a more fitted feel...and which is why I double layer now, with one of those first, then a more fitted cloth mask on top. If I'm in a situation where I want even more protection, I'll wear a disposable KN95 underneath the cloth, which is very fitted to the face.

  2. Humanity's laziness to continue to trash the environment sucks, but it doesn't negate the necessity of masks. These are not normal times. Humanity is literally in survival mode. Masks are needed. Then again, I've never understood folks who are just too lazy to actually place their trash in an actual receptacle, as well as learn to use washable, reusable cloth masks.

    Murdoch is as equally to blame as anyone. His ultra right wing press - print and television -  that supported and promoted Trump and deliberately and dangerously repeated false conspiracy theories has lifted Trump in the eyes of his base. Such an evil man in every way. He has too much power. 

    :clap:

    He's pure evil. The last few decades of right-wing politics in the US is ALL him.

    U cannot read this situation any other way...the fact that populism resulted, finally, in

    a coup in the West is a moment. I also call the moral bankruptcy of social media and

    their corporations and the corruption of journalism and the news cycle as a result.

    :clap:

    Nailed it.

  4. I understand why it's tempting to think Trump would fake it, all things considered regarding him...but according to those who have known him for years, there is one thing he will never do - allow himself to ever look weak (or the lesser, or sickly). Ever.
    The reason he "recovered" so quickly is because they gave him the very best treatments.

    Plus, if it was a stunt, it surely backfired. It did nothing for him. Plus, he came off weaker than normal in the final month of the campaign.

    The reason all these GOP idiots got it is because they truly believe they are above the science and the facts to the point they pride themselves on it. That's why they all got it through those 'super spreader' events.

    Trump will 100% be next president, says Michael Flynn
    ‘There’s a whole number of paths that the President has’ says Flynn, insisting his former boss will remain in the White House

    Former national security adviser and ardent Trump supporter Michael Flynn has said that he still believes with absolute certainty that the Republican will remain in the White House come 20 January.

    Talking to Fox News on Sunday, Mr Flynn said Donald Trump still has multiple routes to a second term, citing various pending lawsuits by the Trump team. The Trump campaign’s legal efforts to overturn the election, which Democrat Joe Biden won by 306 to 232 electoral college votes, have met with no success so far.

    “First of all, there’s a whole number of paths that the president has, and like I say, asked on a scale of one to 10 who’ll be the next president, I’d say 10, Donald Trump!” Mr Flynn said.

    Mr Flynn, who served as Mr Trump’s national security adviser briefly in 2017, is a retired three-star lieutenant-general of the US army. He was granted a presidential pardon by Mr Trump on 27 November after he pleaded guilty to lying to the FBI twice during the Russia probe.  

    Mr Flynn, who was open for his support of Mr Trump in the 2016 election as well, spoke for the first time about his hopes of Mr Trump’s presidency repeating in the “stop the steal” rally held by Trump supporters in Washington DC after the Supreme Court rejected a Texas suit seeking to subvert Mr Biden's victory.

    "The courts do not decide who the next president of the United States will be," Mr Flynn told a crowd of protesters. "We the people decide."

    "I will say, there are paths that are still in play ... there's a lot of activity that's still playing out."

    Mr Flynn also told the pro-Trump crowd on Saturday that he was certain that the president will hold onto power. "I will tell you one more time—because I've been asked—on a scale of one to 10, who will be the next president of the United States, and I say Donald Trump. Ten. A 10," he said.

    So far, the 50 lawsuits filed by Mr Trump with charges of rigging and fraud in the election have yielded no favourable results for his team, with many cases being withdrawn or rejected by the courts.

    This criminal asshole needs to be tried for treason or sedition. Or something. Again.

  6. This is exactly why this thing is spreading like wildfire in this country, because ASSHOLES like Ghouliani keep perpetuating this idea that it's all a matter of "living in too much fear". Like it's some bad flu you just get over, and following the guidelines means you're just being too scared. UGH.

    And these dumb fucks get socialized healthcare and access to the best medicines and treatments all the while the rest of the country dies in mass.

    I swear to god if I have to hear one more person act like mask wearing and following basic rules is somehow "living in fear"... :rant::rant::rant:

    Fuck these assholes. Fuck 'em all.
