I guess 80k+ corpses isn't proof enough to them. Or those were all sick and elderly people so who gives a fuck about them, I guess.
"Can somebody please prove that the Coronavirus is killing people?"
"Somebody dying is not proof"

The use of the word "prove" is key in this argument; you can lay out all sorts of facts, correlations, and data, but you can't prove anything to someone if they set their standard of proof arbitrarily high enough.
Sure, Alice had a .38 revolver and was yelling about how she was going to kill Bob, and then there was a bang when I blinked, and when I opened my eyes Alice's gun was smoking and Bob had a wound similar to that caused by a .38-caliber bullet in his chest- but that doesn't prove anything, because I didn't see the exact moment Alice pulled the trigger.
 
Sorry if this is off-topic, but I just read 50+ pages of the thread to catch up. For some reason, the group that claims to be calm and rational suddenly lose their shit when Daddy Donald is criticized. I don’t really check TES, but I doubt people from here go into that thread at the same level they come to this thread.

It’s so exhausting to read slap fights every page.
 
I think we need a Covid Denialist thread because it would be more appropriate there, but you just know this guy suffers from TES.
DALLAS (CN) – The Thompson & Knight law firm fired a Dallas-based administrative manager Friday after he allegedly posted a threat on social media against businesses with Covid-19 face mask requirements that had references to a handgun and hollow point-bullets.


Screenshots of the “no more masks” rant began appearing on Twitter Friday, with several users claiming it was authored by a Kevin Bain. Bain has worked since 2009 as the law firm’s document services manager, according to his Linkedin profile.


“Any business that tells me to put on a mask (Whole Foods on Lomo Alto) in Dallas will get told to kiss my Corona ass and will lose my business forever,” Bain allegedly wrote. “It’s time to stop this BULLSHIT. Do I have to show the lame security guard outside of a ghetto store my CV19 test result?”


The post threatens to “show him my Glock 21” handgun shooting range results.


“With Hornady hollow points. Pricey ammo, but worth it in this situation” Bain allegedly wrote. “They have reached the limit. I have more power than they do … they just don’t know it yet.”


The law firm said it learned of the employee’s “threatening and offensive post on a personal social media account” Friday afternoon.


“This post is a complete violation of the values of our Firm, including our commitment to the health and safety of the communities we serve,” the law firm posted on Facebook. “We have terminated this individual’s employment and notified the proper authorities about the post as a precaution.”


The law firm added it is “deeply sorry for this situation” and that “this type of post is not and never will be tolerated by our Firm.”


Thompson & Knight was founded in Dallas in 1887 and employs over 300 attorneys in offices in Texas, New York, Mexico, London and Algiers.


Bain worked for New York-based law firm Thacher Proffitt & Wood for twelve years before joining Thompson & Knight. He studied business at Abilene Christian University and the University of North Texas, according to his Linkedin profile.
How do you work for a law firm and not realize making threats is not covered by the Constitution?

Businesses are completely free to mandate that you need a face mask and gloves to enter them. You ever see a "no shirt, no shoes, no service" sign? It's the same thing.
 
Setting up a protonmail email is too much work to establish a facebook account.

The problem is more having legitimate accounts to friend with that aren't troll accounts themselves.

Russell Greer once worked for a law firm. Intelligence is not a requirement. Sometimes this applies even to the lawyers.

Businesses are completely free to mandate that you need a face mask and gloves to enter them. You ever see a "no shirt, no shoes, no service" sign? It's the same thing.

Imagine being ignorant of the basic principle of property rights that is central to the whole concept of America.

All the TES boomers on my Facebook are complaining about Twitter removing their constitutional rights.

I forgot Twitter was the federal government, I guess.
 
I totally agree we need a thread about COVID-19 deniers, but I can’t make one until later so I’m dumping this here for now:

How fucking fragile are these people? America is “destroyed” because private businesses are enforcing public health precautions? Because they’re trying to limit the spread of disease on their premises because people like Todd Starnes have proven that they won’t follow precautions of their own volition?

I’m seeing this attitude so much and I don’t understand it. I think these are just people who hate being told what to do and think the world is ending because they’re being mildly inconvenienced while shopping.

I certainly hope that Mr. Starnes asked to speak to a manager about this disgraceful shopping experience before returning home to type his next column mocking snowflakes and Karens.
