I remember the last time Congress decided to tackle "reducing the influence of dark money". It (McCain-Feingold) resulted in opening the flood gate$ with Citizens United and $uper PAC$. Chuck voted for it. Color me skeptical that he knows anything about the subject or that he really has any desire to do anything about it.

Kamala Harris is the next VP
reddogblitz replied to JetsFan20's topic in Politics, Polls, and Pundits
I think its her personality and the way she tries to tell everyone how it is and talks down to her audience. Whenever I hear her speak I feel like I'm getting balled out. -
What kind of data are you talking about then?
-
No kidding. First it would somehow have to pass both houses and signed by the prez. I have never seen a politician vote to give them less money. Then all politicians would have to go by the rules and not cheat (good luck). Even if they did they'd be all over the new law to find loop holes and they would find them. Citizens United and SuperPACs came out of a new campaign finance law after all. I'll leave it up to you if this was intentional or not.

They know where you live etc which is true. As does Google, Apple, Facebook, Twitter, ... As does Kroger know everything you buy cuz of your frequent buyer card. And that information is for sale. We are in the big data era. Do you honestly think the only way for foreign actors to get this information is if Paul Mantafort gives it to them? Welcome to the 21st century.

It is kind of coincidental that a bat transferred it to a human in a town next to the lab that studies this kind of stuff and has had accidents before. I'm not saying they did, but I'm also not saying they didn't. I know the WHO etc has looked into it, but once this thing is over all the countries in the world should demand answered from China and have some countries like us run their own investigations.

The Next Pandemic: SARS-CoV-2/COVID-19
reddogblitz replied to Hedge's topic in Politics, Polls, and Pundits
I would like to ask you a couple scientific questions if you are willing. I'm not a science guy. I'm a musician and computer programmer (business applications). But these are a couple of things I've been wondering about. 1. I know viruses mutate. Do they usually mutate to a weaker form? How often do they mutate to a stronger form? 2. Have there been vaccines developed and rolled out that caused death and sickness to the people who took them on any kind of scale. -

No Doubt ... Marketing is Trump's thing after all. -

I know why the D's don't wanna move on though. Donald Trump is greatest fund raiser for D's since Newt Gingrich. -

The good news is he's not President any more. Time to move on. -

OK he did say it there. 1 for 2 is not bad I guess. Does context mean anything? And, its true, if we didn't test we wouldn't find any but as he went on to say we are testing a lot which we were/are and had/have a lot of cases. -
The Next Pandemic: SARS-CoV-2/COVID-19

OK. That's nice but it was 5 months ago. He wasn't even President yet. I was thinking it might be good now that we have this hesitancy thing. I said it would be nice if Trump could give some cred to President Biden, but Trump's gonna Trump. Would be nice if President Biden could be the bigger man for the sake of the country. Operation Warp Speed did not "get this off the ground" or "give us hope". It gave us several highly effective vaccines that are going to soon get us out of this. -
The Next Pandemic: SARS-CoV-2/COVID-19
reddogblitz replied to Hedge's topic in Politics, Polls, and Pundits
What I think would perhaps cut down on some hesitancy would be for President Biden to acknowledge that the previous administration worked hard to get the vaccine we were told would take Yeats to develop and publicly thank him. And Trump should put out a blog post about how good President Biden is distributing it and encourage everyone to take it. If they were true leaders and cared about the country instead of getting one over on the other side and the next election, they would. -

Did you watch the video? He didn't say any the like that. At least not in the clip you posted. -
I like how Speaker Pelosi's mask matches her outfit. Nice!

This is what I don't understand about the Democrats strategy to keep this thing going. From history we know they have an uphill battle to hold power in Congress. The top thing they could do for re election is fix COVID fast. Rs couldn't fix it but they could. Set a standard. When we got to 70%, everyone gets a get out of lockdown card. Publicize it to encourage us to get there. Then when we do, declare victory and campaign on it. I guess they just can't help themselves.
