A new, immunity avoiding covid strain is making its way out. Just in time to push MIB and masks for this summers protest

If this new strain could go ahead and just kill me, I think I would be o.k. with it at this point.

"Summer surge" Give me a break.

If there is a "summer surge," I'm full on into the conspiracy theories with you guys. Respiratory illnesses don't "surge" in the summer.

What difference would that make? They'd all still be voting from the grave anyway.

Obviously we need unsolicited mail-in ballots. The science says we need 100% Biden drops at 4am now, instead of 3am.

You know, so the people will believe it.

"If you will not fight for right when you can easily win without blood shed; if you will not fight when your victory is sure and not too costly; you may come to the moment when you will have to fight with all the odds against you and only a precarious chance of survival. There may even be a worse case. You may have to fight when there is no hope of victory, because it is better to perish than to live as slaves." - Sir Winston Churchill

They are counting on the not very intelligent voters - at least 81+ million*

Just in time for you to have an excuse to vote for Biden again.

Should we have Lester Holt queue the eery music and display the COVID death chart during the evening news hour?

Does the new strain evade natural immunity? or does it evade whatever immunity the jab promised?

Initial thought was the Dems will be in a quandary if jury trials had to be cancelled (no Trump trials). But they'd probably treat Trump trials like BLM protests - those are safe and all others are spreaders.

Speaking of Clown World. Staff, can we get a clown face emoji? It would be helpful to convey the absurdity of so much of the news we get today.

Agreed. But if you've ever played with decent poker players, you'd know that you keep hammering away with a strategy that's working. No matter how much you think they're catching on, you never adjust until it stops working. We'll see if that happens. And all they really need it for is a pretext for MIB.

Anyone notice they also trotted out the tried and true hysteria claim about the new variants?

"They are more transmissible, can evade all immunity, and appear to be more deadly."

They've been saying this since the very first variant was discovered.

"If you will not fight for right when you can easily win without blood shed; if you will not fight when your victory is sure and not too costly; you may come to the moment when you will have to fight with all the odds against you and only a precarious chance of survival. There may even be a worse case. You may have to fight when there is no hope of victory, because it is better to perish than to live as slaves." - Sir Winston Churchill
