Ken B म्हणाले...: What makes a guy at the NYT or Facebook or Twatter qualified to tell doctors they are bullshitting about medicine?
Scott Adams has more on Twitter, as does Tim Pool.; २८/७/२०, १०:०६ AM
traditionalguy म्हणाले...: B2 is standing his ground at the Judiciary Committee. Opening Jim Jordan played a video of the attacks current on the USA that were similar to SantaAnna’s Army attacking the Americans at the Alamo. Barr is smarter than Dems can handle.; २८/७/२०, १०:४२ AM
Ray - SoCal म्हणाले...: Boogaloo on Google Trends

Interesting, Peaked around May 31 to June 6, and has gone down about 84% since then.

And the Riots / Protests they are supposedly causing, have increased since then.

Hmm...; २८/७/२०, १०:५८ AM

Why no pushback from the host on this comment made by a Milwaukee resident on the murder of the black Trump supporter?; २८/७/२०, ११:२३ AM
Joe Smith म्हणाले...: Watching the Barr hearing. Hank 'Guam might tip over' Johnson, is one of the dumbest men alive.; २८/७/२०, ११:३५ AM

In the name of racial harmony, Nadler is a very close number two.; २८/७/२०, ११:३८ AM
Clyde म्हणाले...: Barr House Judiciary hearing: I thought only Senate Democrats were allowed to filibuster? Jeezus, let him answer your misleading questions, you lying cretins!; २८/७/२०, ११:३८ AM
Big Mike म्हणाले...: @Ray, officials in Richmond tried to push Inga's line about the violence being caused by white supremacists taking over a peaceful Black Lives Matter protest. No one believes that who doesn't want to be fooled.; २८/७/२०, ११:४१ AM
wild chicken म्हणाले...: I'm supposed to go to a wedding party for a stepson, and I keep having dreams like "is this covid thing a real threat or not? Is it all BS? Why are we doing this" Geez even the RN stepdaughter is going.

Meanwhile the CEO of her hospital tested positive.

I'm just not supposed to care, right? Is that the tru-con way to think?; २८/७/२०, १२:०५ PM
Joe Smith म्हणाले...: Two new contenders, Cedric Richmond and Sheila Jackson 'Did NASA get a picture of the flag Neil Armstrong planted on Mars' Lee.

Not to cast aspersions on just Democrats of course, they just make themselves obvious targets. Politicians in general are parasites and the vast majority are clueless.; २८/७/२०, १२:१८ PM
n.n म्हणाले...: the violence being caused by white supremacists taking over a peaceful Black Lives Matter protest. No one believes that who doesn't want to be fooled.

Some, select Black Lives Matter... 16 trimesters and in progress. They need to lose their Pro-Choice, selective, opportunistic religion.; २८/७/२०, १२:३५ PM

You're supposed to live your life as you see fit. Actions have consequences...we all have to die of something.; २८/७/२०, १२:३७ PM
MayBee म्हणाले...: I'm just not supposed to care, right? Is that the tru-con way to think?

The only way to think is the way you do think.

My nephew just got a positive test. Felt fine, quarantined himself, canceled a trip. Still felt fine about 3 days later, so went and got re-tested. Tested negative.; २८/७/२०, १२:४३ PM

rehajm म्हणाले...: Maria Bartiromo asks why DHS can't “just arrest the leadership in Portland” for “ignoring what's really happening”

A fine question I hadn't thought to answer. Fed can't even muster an indictment for any one of the countless dossier criminals, so it hadn't occurred to me they might go after crooked criminal mayors...; २८/७/२०, १:१८ PM
Joe Smith म्हणाले...: If Rep. Jayapal is married, I feel very bad for her husband/wife. What a piece of work...; २८/७/२०, १:३५ PM
Joe Smith म्हणाले...: I have my issues with Barr and what he has and hasn't done, but it is clear that he is the smartest person in most rooms he enters.; २८/७/२०, १:५७ PM
mandrewa म्हणाले...: A group of physicians and researchers went to Washington, DC today to advocate for
the treatment of Covid-19 with hydroxychloroquine + zinc + azithromycin.

A number of copies of this video have been posted to YouTube and Facebook and apparently almost as fast as they are put up YouTube and Facebook are deleting them.

This is horribly, outrageously wrong and I would still think the same thing even if I thought the weight of the evidence was against hydroxychloroquine.

Because this is not the way to do things. Only Nazis should like this sort of thing. And you can identify people as Nazis because they do like this sort of thing. If hydroxychloroquine is a wrong idea then there needs to be a clear explanation as to why it is a wrong idea. That has not occurred. Instead we have a several pseudoscientific papers that do not answer the important questions.

We have a debate where one side is allowed to speak and the other side is censored.; २८/७/२०, २:०३ PM
Jaq म्हणाले...: "we all have to die of something.”

True, and we all have our own values and make judgements accordingly. If your “values” are that everybody else can eat shit and die, it’s just something that other people are going to take into account.; २८/७/२०, २:०६ PM
n.n म्हणाले...: I'm just not supposed to care, right? Is that the tru-con way to think?

Monitor for kinetic symptomatic (e.g. coughing, sneezing) transmission. Mitigate asymptomatic transfer through good hygienic habits. Socially distance from people with masks, which act as collectors. Don't forget your goggles. Monitor for symptoms after, and, if you follow the precautionary principle, or are at high risk (e.g. comorbidities), consult with your doctor to disinfect early in order to reduce viral load/viability and mitigate disease progression.; २८/७/२०, २:०८ PM
Jaq म्हणाले...: That’s what people who start wars say: “We all have to die of something.” Unrepentant drunk drivers say it too. "Sorry I killed your wife and crippled your kid, too bad, so sad, we all have to die of something. I think I will have another drink.” People making bio-weapons say it too “We all have to die of something.” Guy who okayed a shortcut airworthiness test on an airliner: “We all have to die of something.” This could go on for some time. You can think of your own. Stalin probably said it more than once.; २८/७/२०, २:१२ PM
Joe Smith म्हणाले...: If I were Barr, I would thank the committee and then tell them that I wouldn't be returning, even via subpoena.

The progressives are insufferable and the once-relevant Democrat party is lost and can never recover.; २८/७/२०, २:१८ PM
Joe Smith म्हणाले...: Rep. Neguse is the smartest Dem up there by far, but he is a total jerk...too bad, he might be effective otherwise.; २८/७/२०, २:२० PM

What are you worried about? It’s all just a hoax to hurt Trump, right? Everyone getting this imaginary virus only sneezes for thee days and then is just fine, right?; २८/७/२०, २:२६ PM
Joe Smith म्हणाले...: Wow...Bar is 70 years old and wants a five-minute break near the end. Denied by Nadler and then only reluctantly granted. Has Nadler ever had prostate issues?; २८/७/२०, २:३६ PM
Clyde म्हणाले...: As I told a friend on Facebook, each of the Democrats is a bigger douchebag than the last one. And that "I'm reclaiming my time!" line is a tell about the ones who are the biggest ones.; २८/७/२०, २:३९ PM
Inga म्हणाले...: Trump’s New Favorite COVID Doctor Believes in Alien DNA, Demon Sperm, and Hydroxychloroquine

The president is pushing the coronavirus theories of a Houston doctor who also says sexual visitations by demons and alien DNA are at the root of Americans’ common health concerns

“A Houston doctor who praises hydroxychloroquine and says that face masks aren’t necessary to stop transmission of the highly contagious coronavirus has become a star on the right-wing internet, garnering tens of millions of views on Facebook on Monday alone. Donald Trump Jr. declared the video of Stella Immanuel a “must watch,” while Donald Trump himself retweeted the video.

Before Trump and his supporters embrace Immanuel’s medical expertise, though, they should consider other medical claims Immanuel has made—including those about alien DNA and the physical effects of having sex with witches and demons in your dreams.”; २८/७/२०, ३:०९ PM
Joe Smith म्हणाले...: Timmy-boy...

What don't you understand about making your own decisions and not waiting for someone else to make them for you?

My comments had nothing to do with recklessly infecting people. Life is a goddamn risk. I will live mine while you hide in your basement and wait for the government or mommy to give you the 'all clear.'

I'm talking about self-determination and you've turned it into 'he wants to destroy the planet with bio-weapons.'

Wild can go to the wedding or not. Nobody cares that he's too weak to not be able to make a decision on his own.; २८/७/२०, ३:२७ PM
mandrewa म्हणाले...: "Before Trump and his supporters embrace Immanuel’s medical expertise,..."

I have laid out the argument for exploring using hydroxychloroquine plus zinc against Covid-19 many times. It does not depend on what Trump said or what this woman said.
People, including me, were making the argument for using hydroxychloroquine before Trump said anything about it.

We still don't have any studies that answer the question of just how well this would work or whether it would work at all because nobody has done the research.

We have retrospective studies and animal studies and in vitro studies and cellular in vivo studies that suggest it would work, but we still don't have human trials that address the real question.

Now I could guess from the moment I saw this women how the left-wing media was going to attack her.

It's a shame. And it all evades answering the real questions. And I think there is a good chance that many people are being killed by that evasion.; २८/७/२०, ३:३० PM
Ken B म्हणाले...: So Sandman's lawyer is threatening CNN over Stelter's tweets about the payment. In a sense this looks like a stretch, but if Stelter is tweeting under his CNN byline claims that the settlement was “small” and just to get rid of a “nuisance “ that does look like he, and CNN, are either revealing or pretending. Is that actionable? Question for any law professor, current or former.

I mean, if CNN reported “under $25k” that would surely be a breach or a lie masquerading as a breach. This is not the same thing, because Stelter is tweeting, but it’s similar. CNN encourages us to trust its talking heads.; २८/७/२०, ३:३० PM
Joe Smith म्हणाले...: @Inga

Please pledge now in front of this blog and the world that you will, under no circumstances, ever take HCQ or its derivatives if you should ever contract Covid. Even if your doctors recommend it and think you might die if you abstain.

And go further, pledge to abstain from any vaccine that might be developed while Trump is in office...; २८/७/२०, ३:३१ PM
Jim at म्हणाले...: I'm just not supposed to care, right? Is that the tru-con way to think?

If you think the only two choices are not caring and hiding under your bed, you're doing it wrong.; २८/७/२०, ५:४७ PM

Jim at म्हणाले...: If Rep. Jayapal is married, I feel very bad for her husband/wife. What a piece of work...

She replaced the retired Baghdad Jim McDermott. They really know how to grow 'em in Seattle, don't they?; २८/७/२०, ५:५४ PM
Jim at म्हणाले...: If your “values” are that everybody else can eat shit and die, it’s just something that other people are going to take into account.

Well, not everybody. But certain people from Vermont? Yeah. ESAD.; २८/७/२०, ५:५५ PM
Lucien म्हणाले...: Ken B:
I can’t imagine a settlement agreement that bound CNN to confidentiality, but not its “employees, agents, attorneys, managers, officers and directors”.; २८/७/२०, ६:१४ PM
Inga म्हणाले...: “And go further, pledge to abstain from any vaccine that might be developed while Trump is in office...”

Joey-boy,

You do understand there is a difference between evidence based medicine and quackery, don’t you? Apparently not. A Covid immunization wont be based on what ever quackery Donald Trump believes in at that moment.; २८/७/२०, ६:३४ PM
Guildofcannonballs म्हणाले...: "I'm just not supposed to care, right? Is that the tru-con way to think?"

Tru-cons think whatever nasty or pretty thoughts, as you like, you conjure up for them to think doll inside. Is the freedom too much? Did liberty take you too far?

I feel that's only human, feel good about having the chance. Truly CHOOSE to be happy, strive for it, as Max Erhmann wrote 'round Buckley's time.

We all know you have it in you.; २८/७/२०, ९:११ PM
