Very well said. The corporate media encourages us to follow politicians like groupies follow music stars, switching every so often to someone who is newer and cooler or whatever. No politician is perfect, and those who demand that one be trashed because they did one thing they didn’t like are irritating at best and slappable at worst.

@gamemeat Policy is not important, at least not economic policy. Only the trendy cause of the day.

But I had to check.

I made a thread similar to this yesterday. Here is the conclusion that I came up with after hours of research reading through medical publications and trials.

testosterone levels in general have a direct impact on immune system strength. Men…

“Never said or implied there is no reason to be concerned. That’s just what you seem to have read in to it for some reason.”

I never said or implied that you said or implied that there is no reason to be concerned.  I did say: That which we do know, however, is disturbing enough.

The number of (confirmed) cases in the U.S. – just yesterday (during a 24 hour period) – grew by another 20,353 infected.  Five hundred and seventy three died.  Globally there were an additional 61,325 cases confirmed and 3,718 deaths. https://www.worldometers.info/coronavirus/

In a twenty four hour period.  Those are facts – they ar…[Read more]

@gamemeat Is it not possible for them to be two related things? Two strains of a similar coronavirus? I honestly don’t know. If it is, it would offer an explanation as to why those who had this stuff in the autumn and early winter are not getting sick now.

If none of us do, that’s probably immunologically significant.

@gamemeat

A friend had the cough in October.  It lasted seven weeks.

Mine started in early December after a dental cleaning.  Strep-like sore throat, fever, and hacking cough that lasted six weeks.  Also laryngitis and bronchitis, topped off with conjunctivitis.  Two strep tests and one flu test were all negative.

@gamemeat

He needs to call out Biden to shed light on this charge and demand that the leading Dem primary candidate respond BEFORE his anointment. Biden cannot be given a ‘free-pass’ going to the Dem convention without ever responding to Tara’s charge. Bernie needs to challenge Biden to step up and respond to this charge (deny or admit)…[Read more]

Disagree with the ‘saving’ part though. Every member of a technologically advanced society should, logically and morally speaking, always be economically secure and comfortable through a collective effort.

@gamemeat There’s no way Trump vetoes checks for every American. He’ll sign it and take credit for it. That will improve the ratings of the reality TV show he lives in, and Trump does know how to read a room.

The pandemic will be gone well before November, at least for a few months. Neither Biden nor whomever the Democrats install as their…[Read more]

@gamemeat

if trump says things “for sport” in the middle of what appears to be an epidemic, that’s on him.

let alone when he says things that are divisive, or flat-out lies, or attacks the press for asking legitimate questions, or lays the blame for his own failures, which are massive, on other people, other parties, other countries

If it’s the study fauci later talked about, it started with 26 people & ended up with only 20 who were reported on.

Of the 6 ‘drop-outs’ : 1 left the study (no explanation given), 1 or 2 couldn’t tolerate the drug, 1 or 2 died, & I’ve missed somebody.

They reported on the 20 people (not a decent sample size for any significant…[Read more]

I had a similar list of reservations, thanks for yours.

Hi gm,

Yep – glad it was captured here for posterity.  We will know soon enough.

I am all for a “Free Press.” I was one of them. I even attended workshops at the Edward R. Murrow School at WSU. I was trained in both Radio and TV. So I support journalists that believe the principles of Edward R. I just can’t stand hacks like Chuck Toad or Matthews, or Maddow who always ask these “gotcha” questions. I wasen’t trained to ask…[Read more]

However, @gamemeat , this is like that Reddit thread I read earlier today, to paraphrase, on whether 1) to save money in IRA’s or 2) donate to the American Malaria Foundation.  Choosing option 1 is morally equivalent to killing children with malaria.

The parallel here is to the idea that if we do NOT sign this petition to “save MSNBC!” or if we…[Read more]

@gamemeat Of course, that’s a smaller state, and so is South Carolina. A shift this big in larger states like North Carolina, Texas, and California? I don’t know. I’ll just have to bloody well wait with the rest of you.

@gamemeat

This incident of voter suppression was done in a state with a Republican governor, a Republican majority in the State Senate, a Republican majority in the State House of Representatives, and a Republican Attorney General, so obviously it was the fault of the DNC.

As an aside, you refer to “closed primaries with registration deadlines…[Read more]
