To me, this entire thread is exemplary of why Hilary lost, and there are interesting optics here: a forum full of dudes endlessly criticizing a woman for over multiple thread pages for getting a haircut that we all agree was recorded without her consent and in violation of California eavesdropping laws. But. Her. Haircuts.

I'm sure our presidential candidates have had many more haircuts since the pandemic started, but boy does it feel good to rail endlessly at an 80-year-old woman who has literally zero role in deciding what stays open and what closes because her audacity to stay loyal to a small business proves the depths of her hypocrisy.

Google "politicians getting haircuts." You will not be surprised that all the top US hits are about the outrage of female politicians getting haircuts during the pandemic.

Oh please.  If you want a discussion on why Clinton lost an unloseable election, I don’t think this is the place.  This “dude” posted on the hypocrisy politicians exhibit.  This was simply a simple example.

What I find fascinating is Mick posted a link with data that provides meaningful insight into what is happening in the entire country, and it ends up being a discussion about two people in a freaking hair salon.

THAT is the real reason we aren’t Germany with the pandemic. Americans - even ostensibly educated ones - focus on arguing about the drapes being the wrong color when the entire house is on fire.

On a day it was reported and confirmed the POTUS called fallen American soldiers who died protecting freedom and liberty “suckers and losers,” the absurdity of obsessing about a woman’s hair salon appointment has never been more profound.

I will ALWAYS be glad we aren’t Germany.

I will ALWAYS be glad we aren’t Germany. The Germans but/for the US would be speaking Russian. And continuing to blindly follow orders. It’s what the Germans do.  Helped here.  Not so much historically.  As about 90,000,000 dead could attest to.  

And we talk  incessantly on the whole house being on fire. As our so called leaders, on both sides of the aisle, pour gasoline on the fire. 

The Pelosi kerfuffle is, to an extent, comic relief. No one is “obsessing” on the thing. They are mocking her, using it as an example of politicians hubris etc. Happens all the time. Whether you (or any of us) “like it” depends on whose ox is getting gored. This board doesn’t lack for doomsday discussions. Some comic relief is welcome.
