Well done Kiwis

It's amazing, he always give away his plans... always. I'm guessing it's going to be one of those countries that doesn't have a extradition pact with the USA....

Saw ST:Disco S03E01 last night. I enjoyed it. I think this seasons going to be pretty good. The future tech looks futuristic for Star Trek... but 1000 years in the future "futuristic".... I don't think so. Regardless, I enjoyed it and look forward to the next episode.

This thread sums up how batshit crazy this story is. It is insane the mental gymnastics these people out themselves through to validate this ****... it's insane.

Oh ****, sorry to hear that. Hope you and the others are safe.

Bear attack- so true. So true.

For those missing the clown show- here is a thread that has highlights: Huh, when did Jimmy Dore start peddling in Russian misinformation campaigns? Laptop- classic Russian ops, circa 2017 in France.

"Lies travel six times faster than the truth." There is truth to this. I thought this was the best place to post this article. It is trumps mantra of "fake news", his use of lies and distortions of reality and has been used mostly for politicalization and division. Solid read about an actual study from MIT on fake news. here is a link to the actual study : https://science.sciencemag.org/content/359/6380/1146 https://science.sciencemag.org/content/359/6380/1146

Thanks for the update. I just wanted to add the breakdown:

Two men in their 40's now dead... one with underlying conditions and one with out... it's funny how you get a lot more antsy when your demographic starts dying...

Sen. Whitehouse is absolutely right in this. Unfortunately, the GOP has time and time again shown no remorse, honor, morals, nor sense of fairness. The GOP has routinely shown to embrace hypocrisy and dishonor in the pursuit of power.

Initially I agreed with this assessment... But I think upon further review, Biden will tilt more left in a lot of his policies. I think the Biden campaign is not promoting a more progressive agenda before the election to tamp out any accusations of socialism and all that ****. Not Bernie Left, but more "right of Elizabeth Warren progressive". Regardless- it will be refreshing to get competent people in key positions again.... There is a lot to criticize on Obama. Ramping up the Drone Strike program. Handling of Flint water crisis. Mishandling of the ACA roll out SLow walking on Judicial nominees- then republicans took the senate and house and made it nearly impossible... Failure to crack down on Wall street. Don't get me wrong- he was probably the best POTUS of my life time, but still very imperfect.

The belief that Russia is a hoax perpetrated by the democratic elite to sow discord and have a enemy to hate and draw from, or something like that. It's a common talking point and belief among... the left of the left... the anti-establishment progressives. Glenn Greenwald and his ilk... Kyle Kushnik and so forth...

The USA doesn't need to go back "normal" - that's what spawned trump and his ilk- they need better.

https://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/manitoba/winnipeg-covid-pandemic-lockdown-1.5761244 I agree with this: But I also can see the point: It's a catch 22 and I would not want to be in the position of decision making for this. But, there is one silver lining here: It's really a mix-bag of nuts right now... sheesh.

95 cases in Winnipeg! Holy ****, looks like we are loosing a grip on the covid. We just had Thanksgiving, I am not looking forward to the spike in cases in ~10 days. Some more drastic measures need to be taken. I'm not advocating a lockdown, but ****- more has to be done.

Anyone else find it a little premature to place someone on the SCOTUS, when they have been a judge for less than 3 years? Is this unusual? I guess it's like all of trump's appointees, cabinet, and administration- light on actual experience in the role they thrust into. I was curious to see if less than three years experience was an abnormality.

I dont know if anyone is following the SCOTUS confirmation hearing, but man someone needs to ask Barrett about her comments about Garland's nomination.

This a solid thread discussing how a party that caters to the elites can win elections with a widening equality gap. It also touches on where the general strategy of the GOP is taking them and the importance of narrow messaging. It's totally worth a read.

It is unfortunate, but expected. If these trials didn't come up with any hiccups, I would be ver suspect in the safety of the vaccine- the large clinical trials are working as intended. A 1 in 2000 chance to develope a debilitating or fatal side effect would have devastating consequences of it slipped through the clinical trial process. Its a good thing that they are investigating these "mysterious illnesses".

Oh yeah, that was a bone headed move- I remember when that was announced.... I was totally confused by the short-sightedness and stupidity of the move, then my confusion lifted when I remembered what administration we are dealing with here.

I see your Cuomo and raise you a Desantis. One made a mistake at the beginning of the pandemic when little was known about the virus,; the other willfully disregards the science and endangers countless people by ignoring the pandemic and spits in the face of evidence based decision making. I know which of the two I would crown with the title of "biggest error in judgement on Covid response"

I fail to see how the two are exclusive? The article is saying that herd immunity is immoral. You are saying the WHO says to stop lockdowns as primary virus control. The two statements are not mutually exclusive. You can have other systems and protocols in place and not have to chase Herd Immunity.

Hey, let's follow the science.

Bernie!!!! Bernie's messaging is so refined and really speaks to a lot of people- dude is amazing.
