How many COVID deniers do I need to see melt down from the inside from COVID or Ivermectin to get a proper rail connection in Michigan to literally anywhere in the US.
 
I want to plan a day trip to Chicago that does not involve any more driving than I need and so far I need to get to either Ohio or Indiana to have a car-free trip to Chicago.

There’s no direct AmTrak lines? I wasn’t aware that covid restrictions had messed them up that bad up there.
 
 
Hell, I just looked and I’ve got a DC connect rail right to Chicago from down here in VA. Must just be a Michigan thing yea?
 
 
Speaking of idiots dying from covid. That fat fuck who started that lawsuit to be given Ivermectin and became an QAnon hero died of double pneumonia today.
 
I like to imagine his last words to be “gimma mah horse paste”.

Even without COVID there hasn’t ever been direct rail lines from this state to anywhere. Not since the Detroit train station was closed down. And at this point property owning value-obsessed nerds like these same Libertarian folk are probably a factor in keeping it that way because they’re so surrendered to the cult of the individual they think car-only transport is peak freedom.
 
like no bitch I hate having to only drive I want god-damn options in this state.
 
It doesn’t help that Michigan being a peninsula makes it physically annoying I guess for rail service since we don’t sit in the way of anywhere else. So unless there was a concerted effort in the state or by the federal government to do expansive rail infrastructure development we’re not going to be plugged into Amtrak except maybe by bus service from an Amtrak “station” to Toledo to get on a train.
 
EDIT - oh wait a second, we do have The Wolverine operating out of Ann Arbor but that’s basically it.

Every day I read about new innocent victims of covid plague rats. Heart attack and stroke patients being denied beds, cancer patients being moved, people missing life saving treatments.
 
All because a bunch of selfish idiots wanted to play iconoclast and drink horse paste.
 
A swift death to them, I say.

Eh, unless Biden or the Dems pull an Andrew Jackson then not really. Moscow Mitch learned a long time ago approval ratings don’t mean shit; cheating does. So the SCOTUS being seen as illegitimate doesn’t mean anything. If people treat the SCOTUS ad illegitimate then yeah, ol’ Mitchy Boy’s entire life’s work is undone.

So that Texas law that puts a bounty on women seeking abortion or anything even tangentially related? The site meant to collect said data has gone through the wringer.
  1. First it was flooded with porn.
  2. Then it lost its IP provider since the site is basically just a doxxing machine, which violates the TOS.
  3. Then it lost its second IP provider on the same grounds.
  4. Now the only IP provider willing to host the site is the same one that hosts Gab, Parlor and 8chan.
Well, it’s unlikely it’ll lose its host a third time. But damn it sure is appropriate that it’s peers are various far-right cesspools up to and including literal Nazis.

The crack being that ACB is worried about the SCOTUS’ reputation, while her zealotry and Beer Brett’s frat boy-ness is a large reason why the SCOTUS is not seen as trustworthy nowadays.
 
The fact that the SCOTUS has been weening off lengthy explanations where each Justice explains their decision(s) or lack thereof into a more sometimes dry ‘Who voted where’ slip has been making people feel there’s a leaving transparency in the Supreme Court.
Background Pony #27FA
@Dustcan  
I don’t think that’s true. More people then not approve of the supreme court, and it is still higher then 2016 when attitudes were flipped. The blame doesn’t lie at the feet of ACB or Brett, both of them are qualified, the problem is the partisan atmosphere around their nominations. This partisan atmosphere would have led to a downturn in approval no matter who was nominated.
 
If you want to blame someone blame the politicians and the people who make a living around hyping these things up. The Republicans had no issue rolling the dice in 2016 for a nomination, then going back on their position with ACB. At the same time all of the nomination hearing were used to grandstand for the politicians (Spartacus moment) and plenty of “journalists” were ramping up rhetoric on each one.

I already said they contributed to the partisan atmosphere by not holding to their original position. My question though was on those two nominations.

Gorsuch, actually.
 
The circumstances surrounding his nomination was partisan hackery, especially proven only 4 years later when Reps pulled a 180 on their stance, but honestly Gorsuch himself has been pretty fair in his deliberations and had shown that yes, he is qualified for the position.
 
A far cry from his juniors, who both had proven demonstrably and repeatedly proven unqualified since their nominations (Beer Brett especially, while Barrett is mostly just from her belief and attempt to base the courts around religion).
Background Pony #27FA
@Dustcan  
The Gorsuch nomination was full of partisanship as well. None of the recent nominations have been free of it. Brett and ACB have done a fine job on the Supreme Court and have been qualified. The only problems come because people want specific results, and when a ruling isn’t to their liking they assume the judges must be unqualified.

Old Wheels down in Texas “slammed” Biden for ignoring “natural immunity” in fight against covid.
 
 
Yea, sure, you can get natural immunity through infection.
 
In addition to brain damage, heart damage, lung scarring, reduced blood oxygenation, muscle atrophy, loss of smell and taste, reduced sperm count, brain fog and memory loss, damage to stored memory b cells, throat lesions, persistent cough, persistent fever, night chills, cold sweats, reoccurring migraines, and blood clots.
 
 
Small price to pay yea?

Which I suppose technically makes you immune to everything. Except cleric spells.
 
Besides, if I’m not mistaken, the vaccine supplements natural immunity in people who’ve had it. There are even reports that it helps with the symptoms of so-called “long COVID”.
