    I know nothing about the man other than what I have read the past 24 hours.  But he sounds no different than any other democrat to me.

     

     

    A compliment to Democrats

    The article is from 2016, with data from 2011.  Why is no one rioting or looting over THESE stats?

    I am not sure why you feel compelled to derail this particular thread

       Worldometers has it at 37%. That is - 37% of active cases in the world are in the USA right now, a country which contains ~4% of the worlds population.

    Which is a more important point, the trajectory in the US, India, Brazil is currently alarming. Those countries don't have the luxury of debating "reopening" they are in a crisis.

  3. It is a curiosity to me that over the years the Republican members have transformed into a group of "believers" and pushed away from rational, scientific thought. In looking at the past that was not necessarily the case as far as I can tell.  I don't know if the culture changed or if the groups reorganized. The current denials around covid and the ongoing dispute about the facts of co2 are two important examples.

    Nothing like making decisions by fear.  The point is what “experts” does one listen to?  If one is sick and they go to their Dr. and get advice counter to the Surgeon General, Dr. Fauci, or other public health administrators, which do you follow.  The whole point of this thread is just another Trump hit piece, when the comments by the leaders of the Democrat Party (I wonder when that Party is going to change their name) are just as troubling.

    I don't know what fear based decisions you are talking about. You have 4 % of the population and 40% of the cases. Are you suggesting everyone sit in their hands and wait for magic to happen?

     

    I don't know what statements by a doctor contradict what public health officials are saying. If it does, it may be specific to that patient. 

     

    There is no "hit piece" This is what was said in the Press Briefing. You can draw your own conclusions as to what the statements mean.

     

     

    • Rep. John Lewis of Georgia died late Friday at the age of 80, according to multiple reports.
    • Lewis was a decorated US civil rights icon. He was the last surviving speaker of the March on Washington and one of the original Freedom Riders.
    • He rose to national prominence after leading more than 600 peaceful demonstrators across the Edmund Pettus Bridge in Alabama on "Bloody Sunday."
    • Lewis served in the House of Representatives since 1987 and was one of the most progressive lawmakers to represent a southern district. Throughout his tenure, he developed a reputation for stirring up what he referred to as "good trouble."
    • Following his death, activists, lawmakers, and other prominent figures paid tribute to Lewis, describing him as "a giant" and the "conscience of the nation."

  5. Here is the Simpsons analogy

     

     

     

    "Marge in Chains," it predicted a global flu pandemic known in the show as the “Osaka Flu," and spread by a Japanese  factory worker coughing into a package.

    That same episode also featured the citizens of Springfield in a desperate search for a cure, demanding one from Springfield’s medical community, only to ignore Dr. Hibbert’s medical advice. While overturning a truck, they unleashed the killer bees inside -- portending the arrival of the Asian Giant Hornet (also known as “Murder Hornets”) into the United States.

    “Marge in Chains” is also about an unfair arrest which (through a convoluted chain of events) leads to widespread civil unrest and rioting in Springfield.

    Sounds like 2020 so far."

    But you arent talking about his numbers. You are talking about him refusing to leave office if elected. Deflection noted

    I am beginning to gain immunity to your Jedi mind tricks.  I clearly stated if he is gonna loose, it would be better for the country if it is decisive. Can you imagine if it comes down to a recount in Florida?  Twitter would meltdown.

    Political nonsense recycled almost verbatim from 2016 . the Dems have tried everything under t he sun to undo the constitutionally elected President

     

    a 2 year Russian witch that was Nada. An embarrassingly fake impeachment.. Nada.  Another embarrassingly fake attack to stop the nomination of BK,

     

    This narrative is almost embarrassing for you guys. Dude come on 

    I just stated what I see in the data coming in from polls and talking to people.  Nothing to do with 2016 , Russia, impeachment.  I don't know which guys you have me lumped with, but the numbers are not looking good for Trump.

    Ask yourself, is that because people are buying into Biden? Nope his numbers are flat, Trump's are sinking with Independents massively. Why? I think people are just worn out from this guy.

    Yeah, the Fauci narrative, I love it.  Does he have any good tips on dating during the Covid again?  Btw, just like global climate change, not all scientists Including epidemiologists, agree on what to do here, but the simple fact is that children are falling behind, and online school does not work very well.  In the end, the states and local school districts have to make the decision, and the WH has no real power here, just like the President cannot force a nationwide shutdown, or put into effect a nationwide mask rule.  It is interesting how the LA teacher’s union listed a number of Marxist demands before they would go back to work, nothing political there.

    This entire response is a layered  red herring casserole.

     

    Here is what is not in dispute: 4% of the population (the United States of America), has 40% of the cases. 

     

    All of this dithering about waiting for the science to be settled, or it's just like the flu, or testing  or your infringement on my body with a mask is unconstitutional is just garbage. People are dying from that troglodyte thinking.

    When you have a medical condition, you follow the best medical advice you can get at that time while the research continues.  You don't wait for everyone to pass waiting for the final result.

    Whoever suggested to not do things safely, not me, and certainly not the WH.  Btw, the science is showing there is little chance of spread from children.  The simple fact is this is political.  If President Trump suggested schools should stay closed, everyone would be looking for ways to open them up.  The narrative is quite clear, but I guess we should not care about children’s education since doing everything online will not work.

     

     

    When the Whitehouse says "don't let the science stand in the way" they are literally saying the political and social outcomes from our perspective, outweigh what doctors and scientific data show.

     

    The Whitehouse is politicizing the issue, mostly to try to cover-up how this has been mismanaged by the Whitehouse.

     

    The attacks on Dr Fauci the last two weeks make this clear.

  10. Almost four months after the suspension of routine visa services worldwide in response to the coronavirus pandemic, the U.S. Department of State will gradually resume the issuance of visas at U.S. embassies and consulates.

    The Department announced the resumption of routine consular services in each diplomatic mission depending on the health conditions of the country in which it is located, in order to ensure the safety of its workforce in American embassies and consulates around the world.

    “As global conditions evolve, U.S. embassies and consulates are beginning a phased resumption of routine visa services,” the agency said in a news release Tuesday, noting that the reopening “will occur on a post-by-post basis.

  11. How an Arizona couple helped fuel the Wayfair sex trafficking theory

    https://www.azcentral.com/story/entertainment/life/2020/07/15/wayfair-human-trafficking-conspiracy-arizona-couple-spread-instagram-rumors/5429146002/

     

    Last weekend, an unsubstantiated conspiracy theory that online furnishings retailer Wayfair is trafficking children through listings of products with inflated prices and human names erupted on social media.

    An Arizona couple helped fuel the rumor by posting on Instagram that they had purchased a $17,000 desk from Wayfair and would share their experience with their followers.

    The theory that pillows and cabinets being sold at https://www.wayfair.com for thousands of dollars is somehow evidence of a child trafficking scheme has been debunked by independent fact-checking publication Snopes as well as Reuters and the Poynter Institute's PolitiFact. It gained traction through a July 9 Reddit post on a forum dedicated to discussing conspiracy theories, Snopes notes.

    Maddie and Justin Thompson, of Gilbert, are not convinced.

    "There is not one person in this world who can tell me this is not true right now," Maddie Thompson said in a 40-minute livestreamed Instagram video on July 10. "This cannot be stated as false until it is proven false."

    The video appears to have been taken down on July 14. Instagram has not answered a request for comment.

     

    Who are Maddie and Justin Thompson?

    Maddie Thompson, a self-described "microblading artist, creator, entrepreneur and social media maven" on her website, is the founder of a beauty products company called Madluvv. As of July 16, this information had been removed from her website.

    She is among at least a dozen Phoenix-area social media influencers who shared — whether with disbelief or conviction — the conspiracy theory to hundreds of thousands of followers. Social media celebrities such as reality TV star Savannah Faith Chrisley, model Amber Lancaster and singer Maisy Stella have also posted Instagram stories about the topic on their verified accounts.
