Without Covid I don’t think the Floyd murder rises to the level that it did. Which is sad to think about, but a butterfly effect of sorts. Eventually there was going to be an incident that made people decide enough is enough, but most don’t have the external factors Floyd’s did. Most states were still under tight lockdown at that point, millions out of work, major sports were still two months from starting, there were no restaurants or bars to go out to. All distractions were gone. For the first time in a long time, probably since 9/11, it was a moment of history you couldn’t ignore.

I think this is a big part of it. Please do not take this statement as any kind of defense for that cop's murderous acts, but I also wonder how much that added stress influenced his (murderous) actions. Would George Floyd still be alive if COVID never hit? I know, kind of a butterfly effect thinking here. If there was no COVID and everyone was working like they had been, would the nation (the world?) have reacted the same way?

Either way, COVID is real, Officer Shitbag did murder George Floyd, and the world decided that enough was enough.



When Trump was elected I thought we could sort of glide through 4 years - so long as nothing major happened. Well, something major happened.

It doesn't even have to do with whether he was able to do a "capable job" or not. It's a question of whether he could take advantage of a nationwide "crisis" not of his own doing.

He magnified the crisis. The existence of COVID is not Dump's fault. The additional lethality is the fault both of him and of the Right.
 
The same Conservative Twitter that mocked the #NBCBoycott are now full on in it because apparently Savannah Guthrie was mean to him while Stephanopoulos was nice to Biden. I am sure Chucky already called Trump to apologize and will have his advisors on his show to spread lies unabated for double the time than normal.

My heart bleeds for them :-D

Well, Chucky may do that but the Morning Joe crew was having none of that. They praised Savannah and eviscerated the asshole all morning. Savannah did a fantastic job. Best interview of Trump since the fuckwad became President.
 
Looks like all Rudy accomplished by cooking up the Delaware laptop hoax is an FBI investigation of... himself.

I hope all these guys from Project Veritas down go to prison.
 

This is pretty powerful. I have a friend whose ex husband would constantly belittler her in front of their two daughters. He's berate, insult and generally tear her down (she's a tenured college professor/PhD and he's a construction worker...) and was generally incredibly disrespectful to her. It always bugged me - what kind of example are you setting for your daughters? What kind of lesson?

"You're a woman, and this is how you are to be treated."

I'm not as anti-Trump as many here, but how he treats women has always been a major sticking point for me.

That's on her for staying. F-ck was she thinking in the first place?

I have little doubt that Chauvin would've still killed Floyd if COVID were not a thing. The man had numerous complaints filed against him for excessive force. In fact, excessive force was or is a sort of creed for the 3rd precinct in Minneapolis. The Star Tribune article was posted here some time after the Floyd was killed that very few arrests in the 3rd precinct were ever brought to trial, let along convicted, because suspects would have booking photos that looked one way, and they'd come walking out of the station looking like they'd gone through a gang initiation. The precinct thought that the TV show SHIELD was a how-to manual.
