Scraps

Okay Pinocchio. Something tells me that Fauci never gave advice to hold maskless rally's or super spreader events at the White House. That's probably a big reason why Trump got Covid. Something tells me that Fauci never suggested HCQ as a cure. Something tells me Fauci never suggested injecting disinfectant. Can't be. These fact check organizations only went after Republicans is what I've been lead to believe.

The questions are the same, at least that was the intent. It was a yes or no answer. Your intellect would only be in question if you answered one way. You have continued to dodge.

I think the question is pretty much the same. Seems like you won't answer, but are comfortable.

You dodged the question. Do you think anyone can give you an exact date on when this would end and we would return to normal?

Does that statement apply to both sides?

At least they corrected their mistakes, unlike Trump, Faux News, OAN, Newsmax ...

Not everything comes down to how somebody feels about Trump. I listened to what scientist and doctors said. I saw their confidence in the vaccines, leading by getting the vaccine. I researched. I learned. I changed my mind.

I shared this poll last week. The answer Fauci gave was in response to question Chris Wallace asked citing a poll from NPR. "Among Republican men, 49% said they did not plan to get the shot, compared with just 6% of Democratic men who said the same. Among those who said they supported President Trump in the 2020 election, 47% said they did not plan to get a coronavirus vaccine compared with just 10% of Biden supporters." Fauci didn't go out to criticize Trump in the interview. He answered a question. He also gave Trump kudos for operation warp speed. I think Fauci is held to an absurd standard. It is a novel virus. Opinions and guidance would be based on knowledge of past respiratory diseases and change as we learn more about the virus. As a result, guidance can and will change over time. Nobody can reasonably pick a date on when the pandemic will end, just like nobody could possibly have predicted VE day would be on May 8 1945 or VJ day would be on August 15 1945 one year into WW II. Big Blitz's demands and whining is just ridiculous. As for skepticism, I get that. Last Fall I would have said I wouldn't trust the vaccine unless Donald Trump, Mike Pence and every appointed member of the Executive Branch were vaccinated first, on TV, by doctors chosen by the MSM. However, I work with a lot of scientists, so I listened to what doctors and scientists were saying about the vaccine and I saw them get the vaccine. That told me they had confidence in the vaccine. I shared last week that half my family are vaccine phobic. They shared some videos from America's Frontline Doctors, an endless source of misinformation that a darlings to the right wing news propaganda stations. I did some fact checking on their claims and am convinced these vaccines are extremely low risk. In fact, I got my first shot earlier today. Are you dumb enough to think anyone can give you and exact date?

I was on a United flight once when the pilot told us we were losing fuel, didn't know why and couldn't make it to our destination. We ended up landing at an airport that was closed at the time.

What assumption are you talking about? It is a fact that Republicans, particularly white men, are the most skeptical of this vaccine. People often follow leaders. Trump is THE leader for that subset of the population. Had he endorsed getting vaccinated loudly, and demonstrated such by getting the shot on camera like all the other past presidents did, I'm sure there would be less reluctance from that group of people. But that is one of Trumps largest flaws. He is not a leader. For all your incessant whining about wanting to get back to normal, it is hypocritical to object to the quickest way to do so.

How is Fauci the problem that Trumptards won't get vaccinated?

And spontaneous or not, it was still an insurrection.

"If you’re looking for a way to convince people there was no fraud, having a commission chosen by Nancy Pelosi, Mitch McConnell, and John Roberts is not going to get you to where you want to go. It ain’t going to work." Lindsey Graham Floor Speech 1/6/2021. Seriously, there is a huge problem in this country with people looking for news that what they want to hear or validates what they want to believe. Just look at how Fox News rating dropped and OAN and Newsmax ratings spiked after the election. And Fox News was hardly objective. They just weren't as bat ***** crazy. The only thing that would make a difference would be if Trump acknowledged the truth and if Republicans would stop abetting or supporting his lies. The only thing a commission would do is validate Trumps lies at some level. People will think there must be some truth, otherwise why would there be a commission? It would also buy some time so people forget about the lie. What does this mean?

A Trumptard. It takes a special kind of stupid to fall for an obvious conman's BS, believe the election was stolen, show up in DC with helmets, body armor, tactical uniforms, bear spay, mace, baseball bats, a spear, zip ties for handcuffing people, a gallows for Mike Pence but forget to bring your gun.

So?

They are owned by the state. They are operated by the state. Their employees are state employees. They are government agencies.

A state college or university is a government agency.

I'm sure a foreign student can get a student ID in TX. Said student however can not register to vote, so you have no point here.

And why would you ASSume that?

Fine. I agreed with that. However if that is a requirement, the types of acceptable IDs should be broad and easily, in some cases freely obtained. I again bring up the example of Texas where a gun registration is acceptable but a student ID from a state university or college is not. Both should be acceptable as both " prove you are who you say you are". The only reason why both aren't accepted is because the Republicans know college voters would disadvantage them at the polls.

Clearly you did not understand my post. I did not object to showing ID for in person voting. I am objecting to having to prove citizenship every time you vote.

Is this debt being financed on long term or short term bonds? Do you realize that the interest rates are artificially low because the Fed keeps printing money and buying bonds, forcing rates lower? What happens if inflations rears it head and the Fed can't continue to print money like this?

Should you have to provide proof of citizenship every time you vote? Highly unnecessary as that could be done once when you register to vote. With respect to showing ID, I have no problem with it when it comes to in person voting but if that is a requirement, the types of IDs that are accepted should be wide and the ability to obtain an ID should be free and readily accessible. The ID laws are being used as voter suppression. In Texas, they accept a gun permit but will not accept and ID from a State University. This makes little sense if all you are trying to do is prove "you are who you say you are". I don't see ID being necessary for mail in voting since ballots are only sent to addresses of registered voters and there is a signature matching requirement, which should suffice.

Maybe if you were Asian you would know its a thing.
