  1. In case anyone wanted to see the ****** carlson take down on last week tonight:
  2. The pained looks she gives is too funny.
  3. this? https://abc7chicago.com/covid-chidlren-variant-coroanvirus-coronavirus-vaccine/10486843/ "Osterholm previously supported sending children back to school. He said the virus was not a major threat to children. Now, the situation has changed. "Please understand, this B.1.1.7 variant is a brand new ball game," Osterholm said on NBC's Meet the Press. "It infects kids very readily. Unlike previous strains of the virus, we didn't see children under 8th grade get infected often or they were not frequently very ill, they didn't transmit to the rest of the community."
  4. I think Dr. Seuss touched upon that one:
  5. I see your local white supremist law enforcement that donates to white nationalist shooter and raise you white nationalist federal law makers forming a white nationalist caucus in the US congress: I see they've put down the dog whistle... picked up a bull horn, turned it to 11 and are now repeatedly shouting "COME GET YOUR KIBBLES AND BITZ!!!!"
  6. Not conclusive proof, but something to consider.
  7. To underscore your point, here is an article about an officer that was fired in 2008 for stopping another officer from choking a handcuffed suspect: https://www.cnn.com/2021/04/14/us/buffalo-officer-reinstated-trnd/index.html "The officer, Cariol Horne, was fired following a 2006 incident in which she tried to stop an officer from using a chokehold on a handcuffed suspect. Horne served on the Buffalo police force for 19 of the 20 years required to receive a pension. "The message was sent that you don't cross that blue line and so some officers -- many officers don't," Horne said in a 2020 interview with CNN's Brianna Keilar. "I had five children and I lost everything but [the suspect] did not lose his life," Horne said then. "So, if I have nothing else to live for in life, at least I can know that I did the right thing and that [he] still breathes." I honestly wonder what would have happened if one of the other officers actually spoke up and forced Chauvin off of Floyd- I suspect that he would have a lot fewer friends in the department and probably reprimanded and would be an outcast...
  8. To me, it feels more like the exposition of some dystopian sci-fi survival film. Maybe in a flashback on how it all started... then flash forward to present day in the movie...
  9. Teah... yeah that the Bolsonaro (P1) variant is the one I have been dreading. That **** is nasty and is going to muck up any plans to going back to normal. https://www.reuters.com/business/healthcare-pharmaceuticals/brazils-p1-coronavirus-variant-mutating-may-become-more-dangerous-study-2021-04-14/ "Naveca said the changes appeared to be similar to the mutations seen in the even more aggressive South African variant, against which studies have shown some vaccines have substantially reduced efficacy. "This is particularly worrying because the virus is continuing to accelerate in its evolution," he added. Studies have shown the P1 variant to be as much as 2.5 times more contagious than the original coronavirus and more resistant to antibodies." A little information on the variants and where they come from: https://www.bbc.com/news/health-55659820
  10. This is why we can't have nice things: Best response:
  11. Oof, some seriously cynical stuff here... but- he's not wrong. Working as intended.
  12. Agreed, the government needs to do more for the small business community - through no fault of their own, they lose money, close up shop and are financially strapped. With that being said, if things aren't locked down now, they will most certainly be locked down in a few weeks when our health care system is on the verge of collapsing. Better to get ahead of what we know is coming and get more shots in arms before we are trying to weather the worst of it.
  13. A pretty eye opening article on how the GQP is moving past popular vote and the electoral college system to preserve minority rule...
  14. A little more about ****** crlson's embrace of the "great replacement theory"
  15. Really? Cuz when I watch and listen to trump, I realize what an ******* and piece of melting dogshit he is.
  16. Good. Do it now to prevent the over load. Don't ******* wait until ICU are almost at capacity and the new cases are in the 400s daily and lock it down then while everyone is freaking out. Edit: We are only 10 weeks out from the second wave which saw crazy overload and stress on Healthcare workers... we should not wait until its too late and have those same/more stresses on the healthcare workers... If you look at the peak of the second wave in Canada... it was: Jan 9th with 8716 new cases and 7915 7 day average... yesterday, it was 8541 new cases and 8091 seven day average... and we haven't even peaked yet... So...
  17. Oh boy, 67 of the 135 cases are the UK variant- looks like it is soon the defacto dominant strain... hey look- we are following exactly in the footsteps of our neighbours... Maybe we should... oh I dont know- lock it down and impose stricter regulations? I swear we are letting that 2-4 week grace period of "lessons learned" from our neighbours go to complete waste...
  18. Better than me stumbling into this thread like:
  19. That's not how it works... You are making a point. He is asking you to back up your statement. It makes ZERO sense for you to ask him to do your "homework" to prove your point. Dafuq kind of job do you have where this is the SOP?
  20. Oh boy. That is some rather stark black/white and clear-cut absolutes. If murder is not a poor choice? then what , a good choice? First of all- no one here is saying that a murderer should be forgiven/found not guilty or any sort of pardon for the act because of, "poor upbringing and it's not because of slavery and it's not because of single parents and it's not because of poverty it's not because of racism and it's not about being trapped". you are just making a strawman argument here. How can you discount societal influences? The stats back it up. Ultimately, the murderer makes the choice and is 100% responsible for that choice, but that choice is heavily influenced by environment and societal issues. A very good way of mitigating future murders (and all crime generally) is to understand what led up to the murder, learn from it, find out what factors contributed heavily to the "poor decision" and figure out a way to mitigate these factors to lessen the likely hood of this happening again.
  21. Ever wondered why fox seems impervious to boycotts and the threat of advertisers pulling out? For example, a few nights ago he put out nazi "replacement theory" into the mainstream media and made his case for it. a few advertisers threatened to pull out and some did.... yet tonight, ****** carlson doubles down: So why are these people over at fox immune to boycotts and advertisers pulling out? Basically their main source of income is the inflated price the make from cable companies' channel bundling. Here is a thread that explains it all:
  22. Well, I just tried a Popeyes spicy chicken sandwich. Damn... that is one delicious sandwich. The way I've always imagined a chicken sandwich from all those ads would actually taste like.
