  1. U.S.military I think ordered their personnel a few years ago to get ? small pox vaccination. It is not used and necessary in first world countries for civilians, around the mid 1970s, early 1980s they thought it had become extinct. Although the virus can survive in pockets). But the U.S. government started vaccinating again because they feared that could be used against their troops. If an enemy would spread the virus the unvaccianted would be helpless.

  7. after eveything "we" "gave" to her (accepting her as refuge no doubt the U.S. and the companies had a part in the war she was fleeing). - and Ilhan GAVE BACK. After all she convinced a lot of VOTERS to elect her as representative. I'll call that a contribution. If the right wingers do not like her stances and proposals - they should work harder to convince the VOTERS that their ideology is preferable. That is how democracy works.

  8. if 51 % of the people of Michigan (those who are eligbile to vote) are against her they can vote her out of office. come NEXT ELECTION. They can also protest, or stage actions of civil disobedience, What they can't do is pursuing the course of tyranny and plotting for assassination or a coup.

  9. wars based on lies, torture, end of habeus corpus, over 260,000 died from CoVid-19 ..... that is all fine and dandy. But "Tax the rich" Sweathshirts ? that goes to far.

  11. She chose her provocations wisely, girl knows how to work social media and media. They are all over the place huffing and puffing. How dare she say the unthinkable. That what must not be mentioned - taxes for the rich.

  12. The president is the boss of the EXECUTIVE. watching TV and holding rallies is something else (fitting activities for a reality TV show host).

  13. Bless Netflix (in this case) - it will fuel the NEXT campaigns of these grassroots ! It gives them a lot of FREE AIRTIME. (Plus the testimony of the mother that lost her daughter because of lack of care - under Obamacare no less).

  14. Yes, she is crazy, but she won the primary in a heavily R leaning district. I do not think it makes any difference when it comes to the votes she is going to cast. Actually she could do some damage to the party by being unhinged.

  15. Sinema already has her golden parachute lined up and she is shameless, she does not even pretend.

  16. Trump fundraised 200 million USD to fight "voter fraud". 74 million people voted for him. Let's say 10 million suckers that gave 20 bucks apiece. - on a side note: Impressive fundraising of Trump. The suckers have not read the fine print of course, the first 8,000 USD per donor can be used for something else.

  17. It was no coincidence that he did not even use her name . manly man had the guts to call her an f**g b**tch and in earshot of a reporter - but he can't bring himself to mention her name ! Or the guts to admit that he did call her that. Would have been better to just shut up and let it pass. Good Alexandria Occasio Cortez noticed that subtle insult, too - and did another tweet. He is good with the microagression, the deflection, or he had some talented word twisters. I wonder if he just lost it (way to go for someone who has the honor to represent The People) - or if this was a PR stunt. The base will eat it up how he showed her. The "apology" is to give the Republican "leadership" plausible deniability.

  18. Because one of the arguments for Bilden is "experience" and the auro of statesmanship - and he got a VERY IMPORTANT decision WRONG (and many others as well - whenever something was bad for the American people count in creepy uncle Joe). Of course he represents tax haven Delaware.

  19.  @IbizaPlay  For all the other diseased you list here (from what bs site did you copy it ?) you have NO PROOF whatsoever that there is an uptick, I challenge you to bring evidence from anyone that is an expert in the field and from any agency on the globe that does such stats.

  20.  @IbizaPlay  But we do know the side effects of Covid-19, incl. now the Delta variant. Death, ICU stay for weeks, organ damage. Long Covid. Also quite common: weird problems with smell. People do not only lose the sense of smell (which leads to weight loss and can lead to malnutrition, smell is very important for TASTE). But it is worse they smell wrong unpleasant things. Think rotting onions, sewage stink, or the smell of smoke. They want to eat something and it gives them the experience of rotting food, although the food is fine, and the air around them smells nice. They have founded self helf groups for that. it is not life threatening, but it is quite annoying and bad for quality of life. Sometimes it gets better (fast), but some still have it months later. As the new variant is so contagious it WILL find unvaccinated people and it looks like it leads to more complications now with YOUNG people. That is anectodal but doctors and nurses say they did not have the many young folks in hospitals and the ICU one year ago. Younger people got infected in 2020, too but most of them could sit it out at home, and if they needed a hospital stay it was short and in most cases - luckily - no ICU. THAT has changed, the virus has improved its performance, it is more contagious AND it hits younger people harder .

  21. Take the population of Germany times 4 and they will have the same population as the U.S. But on average much older than the U.S. but they had approx. 300 dead people (died of CoVid-19) per million and the U.S. has 800 per million. Other difference no one goes bankrupt over medical bills, and they have generous programs to help citizens and businesses.

  22. Stays up late, watches every show, does not drink (not so sure about cocaine and adderall though) . Well that disqualifies the likes of Obama, I think he did NOT use TV (FOX) to inform himself the chief of the group that briefed Obama and also some time Trump said - in a very diplomatic manner: Every president has his own style and we provide the information as they like to get it. .... President Obama was a ferocoius reader, he wanted written material. I guess that disqualifies him even though he also may have stayed up late ;)

  23. 1 in 8 Democrats for Sanders - but what is about the appeal to YOUNG voters and to INDEPENDENTS *. And WHO could activate the larges group the NON-VOTERS ! I assume the establishment will try to drown him out. * just heard Biden leads among Independents that lean towards Dems - Biden has a characteristics that he polls well, than he goes on the trail and then others surge ahead

  24.  @barbiquearea  THAT is even more abusive. they can do a treatment (with the consent of the parents, if they are not capable of doing that, which is a red flag. To eliminate lice you also have to hot wash (or deep freeze), the pillow, towels, all hats, toys that could be close to the head, .... - so the parents need to be informed that simply washing it (or with a special shampoo even) is not enough. Some migrant parents might not know that.  And SHAVING IT OFF ?? That is meant to humiliate and it of course singles the children out as the ones the got shaved their hair because they had lice. Horrible.

  25. 6:00 If your think liberals / lefties framed (innocemtn) men with sexual assault charges for political reasons you should look how they did it for years because your are clearly too dumb to pull it off. .... Rightwingers as as dumb as we thought they are. (paraphrased).

  26.  @gmann7082  If a fetus is aborted after the 5th month these are often WANTED pregnancies. Or at least the family has arranged themselves with the idea to get an addition. (the cases where the family does not want more children are settled earlier. which makes sense, because it is much easier to abort purely from a medical standpoint. Plus of course psychologically because the expecting woman never grows an attachment to the future child. Early on a woman can take a pill. but the suction is also a simple and unproblematic procedure. You do not want to get between a family and her doctor in the tragic cases where they make those hard decisions. I cannot imagine a case where a woman would almost carry to term and then she and the doctors decide it is better to abort. The child and the belly vanishes when she comes home, the people around her know she was pregnant but no child. She could as well give up a viable child for adoption at that point. Well not when the child would be severely ill, or would not live long. There are woman who had the baby a few hours or days after birth, or one woman was forced in her state to carry to term, despite the recommendation to abort - so she and the child had to suffer through a few months. It is usually done when the child would be so severely disabled that it has a terrible life or would die soon after birth. Or that the life of the mother would be in danger. However, even in those cases it is usually easier to make a C-section than to prepare a late term abortion (which takes longer). a doctor said an example would be if the mother gets uncontrollable high blood pressure, that can cause a stroke and it also undermines the supply of nutrients via the placenta. Plus the woman cannot give birth in the natural way anyway, they can as well go on with the C-section.

  27.  @marcjohn2819  A waiting time of 30 minutes is too long (except for very special circumstances) and everything longer than that is unworthy or first world country. Most developing countries do better. In some places people have to wait HOURS - Georgia leads the pack in average wait time for low income voters. That is a poll tax. The Supreme Court ruled it is ilegal to put a fee on voting or force the voters to spend money. Well the elections is on a work day. I know only of the U.K. where it is not on a sunday or holiday, but in the U.K. voting does not take long, registration is easy, and the pollings tations are open till 10 pm. Plus of course mail ballots. People would have to take off one afternoon or even longer = lost wages. In other nations they could drive to the pollings station with the kids if they do not have a baby sitter, wait 5 minutes with them, cast their ballot and be on their way home. That is not more than doing shopping with them. You can't do that if the waiting time is hours. In lower income areas, mind you. The affluent areas enjoy a voting experience that is more like in other first world countries. In the poor areas it is worse than in developing countries.

  28. On the flip side: Mike Pence is done politically. Now the Trump supporters also despise him.

  29. Fox has radicalized people and have done so for decades. Not big tech - them using censorship is deeply problematic (and it will also turn against the left.We can already see this. in the end the oligarchs can live with the rightwingers even with coup - but they cannot live with progressives w/o giving up some profits. They are the main enemy.) Republicans and Corporate Dems do not have that much differences - so the Republicans eagerly tried to differentiate themselves and got more and more fringe in the process so they can still WIN election. That is why the Romneys and Bushes get along so well with Corporate Dems. They do not like how far the party has gone it is a little uncough, so they like types like Biden. Except for gay marriage and abortions and gun regulation they agree on most things. And there common big donors do not care about guns or abortion. The trick is to allow some idiots - but not to have too many idiots. Instead they have CREATED and encouraged the idiots. stoking the flames. Religious preachers, right wing radio and Fox made it a business modesl. They teach them to HATE Democrats (see the campaigns against Obama). Republicans have gladly joined that. There are articls of persons that have "lost" a family member to FOX.

  30.  @cynthiadraughn8944  No, Republicans win many races with only 45 % or even less % of the vote (gerrymandering). Congress and state legislature. (Senate races are state wide). If a smart and decent president would do a FDR 2.0 (incl. twisting arms of unwilling D politicians) they would be screwed. Higher turnout could overcome their voter suppression strategy and even gerrymandering. They are fishing everywhere for the fringe vote and the strategy since the 1980s is to rile up people. Guns, abortions, gay marriage, the war on Christmas, ... And they use voter suppression. They have death-by-a-thousand-cuts strategies. A little bit here a little bit there, it adds up. But: mail voting can undo many of those sneaky strategies that they have worked on for years. Closing polling stations. Allocating old (more often malfunctioning) voting machines to low income areas. Some states have the option of offer mail ballots. or machine voting. Well they can run out of mail ballots, can they ? (that is ridiculous, when they start printing, producing the double number of ballots does not cost much more. Once they have the template and the machines set up to run. Economy of scale. The paper ballots could be the backup for mal functioning machines (well, no). If people order their absentee ballot (which could be done online, only elderly persons would call so it could be very cost efficient) they would notice that they are not registered. of course people should be able to see IF they are registered. So no bad surprises when a person shows up to vote and finds out they are not registerd. They could fix that. So if the Republicans do some sneaky purges a LOT of people would find out in the month before and that would also get more attention. If voters have a paper ballot that they fill out at home Republicans cannot create long lines in low income areas thanks to the machines (that are the bottleneck for in person voting). Georgia sets the record for black voters: 4 - 6 hours in some areas. (not in 2020, but Stacy Abrams mentioned that in 2018). People can even drop off their filled out ballot in the polling station on election day if they want to make sure it is arriving where it should and on time and fear the processing by postal services. It also undoes the effects of closing polling stations. One can give the ballot to a trusted family member to post them or drop them off * (if the person cannot leave the house has no postal office nearby), that makes it easy for the elderly or people with little childrren or w/o car or inflexible schedule to vote anyway. * Repubs also hate drop off boxes. It also makes voting easier and the drives shorter. And people can help others to deliver the vote. There is a reason Repubs have hated on mail voting in summer 2020. Voters experienced that it is easy and comfortable and the share of mail voting has gone up considerably, there is a chance they are getting used to it. In rural areas it is also cheaper to hold the election by mail vote. "Mistaken" purges. making it hard to register or register again. Exact match rules (if the voter registration differs in one character to SS data, and that could be a dot or hyphen, it will be sorted out. Georgia excells in those strategies, they could teach Florida a lesson. The voters that the state "suspects" of having moved must be notified that they are about to be kicked off the voter roll. On a card that is printed on paper that the machines of the postal services cannot well handle. Most are O.K. but more are misplaced. The adress field is normed. A company that would like to get out a mailer that grabs attention would use a design that gets attention. And the adress field would be nicely centered to make it easy for postal service machines to process them. Not in Georgia: the mailer is as inconspicious as possible. And the adress is printed close to the borders just within, using the tolerance so to speak. One can shave off 1 or 0.5 or 2 % of the registrations that way. It delivered Florida in 2000. And the presidency.

  34. The biden admi holds them back for the booster shots. - I agree if would be better to supply them to developing countries. But they think IF boosters hots would be needed and wanted by a part of the population and they are not available they would be blamed. - The Biden admin also needed months to make up their mind to give patent waivers for other nations (they finally announced that, not sure if they followed throuhg).  It is not that easy to set up production it is highly specialized, they also need the staff that can handle that and raw materials - and that delay made things worse. (needless to say the Trump admin abducted their responsibility and frankly the EU or Japan is / was useless as well).

  35. There are so many guns around in the population (and crime) that police EXPECT to be shot at. so if they get spooked ... I think in other countries they do not carry the weapon with them. So if they make a mistake - or get in a rage the firearm is not conveniently there. Same with suicide. If a person thinks about it is much better there are no firearms around. All other methods need more determination

  36. These people want to be part of the middle class and they style themselves as being for law and order. Now it has danwd on them that they could lose their job and some neighbours and family members will give them the look. - It was the same with the KKK - once they got the visits by the FBI * they stopped being that bold. They were only brazen if there were no sacrifices and they could harrass and even kill others w/o consequences. * Missisippi Burning - not only the film the FBI mission had that name. Local law enforcement and KKK had killed 2 Civil Rights Activists in a sleepy town 1960s. During the FBI search it turned out this was not the first person that was killed and the body dumped somewhere - but they thought they could get away with it. No bodies no crime. The FBI sent in the troops and turned every stone, they also found other bodies of lynched persons, when they looked in obvious locations. Like rivers. I think the FBI (then still under Hoover) even sought help from the mob either doing interrogations or intimidating folks. Someone told them where to find the bodies of the Civil Rights Activists. It would have been impossible to find them, they were on the property of the richest man in the state, buried under a dam or something, there was construction going on. They must have gotten information by a person that had at least witnessed the crime, and was scared or the person had not expected it would end with murder (beating them up) and the person felt guilt. The many agenst that were in the area (and they stayed for a while) visisted known KKK members. And visited again. At home, at the workplace, .... so they felt monitored and if they did not get scared - their wives for sure did. In the 1980s - Johnny Lee Clary was a high ranking KKK member (he was their PR person, so he did not hide his allegience). His fiancée took his little notebook with the name of secret donors and supporters and gave it to the FBI. I suppose they had dirt on her or she worked as an informant for money. The Klan assumed he had ratted them out. He was ordered to a meeting, but got out of it with 2 guns. (yes, you can kill me, but I will take some of you with me). The FBI worked with the names and made a point of visiting those pillars of the community and well respected persons at their workplace. The KKK was classified as terrorist organization then. he also said the Klan had a lot of supporters among the LA Police. No wonder, they hired a LOT of recruits from Alabama in the 1950s / 1960s. No doubt those white Supremacists established a certain culture. - Some of those recruits were still employed at that point - and had seniority, so they could pass on the torch. Clary left the Klan in the late 1980s, befriended a black pastor that had impressed him against his will (the way he countered their harrassment attempts with wit and courage in the past), he became a Christian, pastor and an advocate against white supremacists and right wing terrorists.

  37. Sanders and progressives should be already campaigning against him. Biden should drag him (first a talk under 4 eyes and then publicly). The voters of Louisiana, Virginia, .... not only West Viginia should know exactely what Joe Manchin costs them. And they should be reminded that one third of the Senators are up for reeelction every 2 years. And the same treatment ofr Kirsten Sinema. I guess both have their lucrative gigs lined up - but they should be come household names in the U.S. and not in a good way either. That is hard to stomach.

  38.  @IbizaPlay  nice bullshit bingo of ailments you have here. I happen to know that Guillain-Barré is extremeley rare and they do not know IF it was related to the vaccination. Kind of hard to tell if you have 1 or max 2 cases in MILLIONS of vaccinated people. - another rare but noticed side effect is blood clots (they are treatable there it is a matter of being aware of the tiny risk and to err on the side of caution. They have a treatment protocol and medication that works well. In Germany Astra zeneca (which has the worst rep regarding side effects) caused 9 deaths for 1.85 million people that got the shot. And close to 30 people had severe complications but they could save most of them. And that was BEFORE doctors were instructed to watch out for symptoms. the general population (incl. babies and 90 year old retired immobile folks) has a chance of 1 in 26,000 to die from a car accident. Active working age adults of course more, because they drive more and longer distances. and that is not a once in a lifetime risk, that risk exist every year.

  39. AFTER a vaccine that is safe (and still effective) has been available for months - Florida manages to have more deaths than in any other wave before - that's some accomplishment. How do the Floridians put up with that ? Mostly it takes the unvaccinated BUT not all of them are voluntarily unvaccinated, some can't. Otherwise it would be the the Darwin award in action, people dying because they are unwilling to question their bias and unwilling to think critically. But they add more mutations and their selfish refusal also makes it more dangerous for other people.

  40. Postal services are mentioned as services for the commong dood in the constitution. They are not required to make profits (not any more that the justice system or the military). And because of the 2006 Bush attack on the postal services (thanks Dems) they had to fund the pensions of people that were not even born but would some day become employees of the USPS. That was a big donor friendly plot to remove an inconvenient competitor for big biz aka big donors. The Democrats have now figured out that mail voting is cheaper and - more important for them it can help to derail a lot of the Republican voter suppression and lead to higher turnout. Which should help them. But for that they need the postal servies fundtioning well so they can handle the masses of ballots being sent out and sent back.

  41. 20,000 cases and 590 deaths in Germany (if Trump got that right). You can take that number times 4 (comparing approx. 83 million Germans with approx. 330 million U.S. residents). With Germon record level it would be 80,000 cases and 2,360 deaths in the U.S. on Dec. 9th - if the U.S. would be doing as badly as Germany (who have been doing pretty good until late fall). Instead the U.S. has 3,054 reported deaths and 108,000 cases found in 1,8 million tests (numbers of Dec. 9th, 2020). It should be noted that the German population is on average much older than that in the U.S. and U.S. mortality rate of diagnosed cases is 2 % so also higher than in most first world countries. (they have 1 % or lower). Either testing is STILL not implemented at the necessary scope (so the U.S. finds fewer cases but the number of deaths do not depend on whether you find most or miss many cases). Or the treatment options for the general population are not good. The U.S. has the much younger population so the numbers of deaths (per 1 million or per 100,000) should be much better, not much worse.

  43. The publisher thought boys (or their parents) would not buy the book if they realized the author was a female. I'll give her a pass on that, she was very happy to find a publisher, ever large house rejected her. Random House wante to build an children's segment AND the daughter of someone read it and loved it. The rest is history.

  44. Mace does not have a target on her back, and is a Republican, so shw was in less danger. Her office may be nearby - but was she IN the office at the time ?

  46. 2009 Republicans swear to stonewall Obama from day one and are not shy to let that be known. Fast forward to 2021: Joe Biden gets told by Republicans (via media) that he is expected to act with humility. Where is a FDR like figure when you need one. He twisted arms. Of Dems - that were not willing to vote with his bills. He did not bother with Republicans that could only dream of stonewalling, the Dems had solid majorities. He did consider Republicans during campaigns, to mock them about their fear mongering about "socialism". (the accusation is funny considering that he came from a rich an influental family).

  47. Shit - why didn't we think of it - masks cure the gay ? Only problem is that certain people needs to propgandize it. There are a lot of grifting pastors around, if they are offered enough money they would find that Jesus / god talked to them and told them so.

  48. On the contrary it should be massively expanded. But the units should be much smaller and owned collectively by co-ops - a few houses, may 3 or 4. - In vienna they built public housing in the late 1920s, under a left government. Houses still in use, going strong (renovations of course, but they did not cut corners, so the substance is good). It is no shameful to live there, and they have people from lower to medium income segment, so NO GHETTO. The poor young mice that were lucky enough ! to get one become more established (also financially) and since they like living there (it is very affordable compared to the "private market") they want to stay there and are protective of the home (incl. investments in the home, even though they are tenants) and they look after the house and the neighbourhood.

  49.  @grahamgordon3210  In China in Wuhan they did not depend on the population being able to quarantine in small homes and apartments. The opened field lazarets and people had to go there. But they also were taken care of. Beds. bedding, bed sheets, food, treatment if needed. It was not fun for sure, but I saw pictures with people having books on the night stand. Or sitting on the bed. Free of charge of course.
