That video is the ultimate propaganda example for libs achieving political activist self actualization - they get to "educate" one of those "crazy religious bigots" by being friendly and morally superior while using phrases like "I understand", "I respect your opinion", "he's a human being", and "love is love". Especially the moment where she drew a line between herself and the bigot by saying "MY god says ...", implying the bigot worships a morally inferior version of god.
A lib earns like 5000 lib-points for partaking in an activist encounter like this. Her lib friends will probably praise her endlessly, saying cliche phrases like "oh, youre so brave, that bigot could have gotten violent"
Dems should focus on getting the truth out there
Of course it is a lie to say that he was exonerated (even acquitted is a stretch)
We all expect Trump to declare exoneration. Of course it is a lie to say that he was exonerated (even acquitted is a stretch) when many in his own party say that he did it and even that his actions are impeachable, but that they think the voters should decide. That is why Dems should focus on getting the truth out there.
WookieMan saysMaybe 6 months AB (after birth)?
There are many RepCons that need to be aborted.
NoCoupForYou saysLet them handle the entire Health Care System, over 10% of national GDP.
Trump just used that line to blast the Dems this morning. He's totally unleashed now, btw. When you get the time, see the video. He even used SWEAR words. :)
Is the exoneration in the room with you right now swallows?
He certainly wasn't exonerated in the common usage of the word.
He certainly wasn't exonerated
In the mean time, the Dems should be fighting him in court on info.
I see that he decided that getting back at Trump was more important than future of his country. What a loser.I guess that puts him in the same (hopefully sinking) boat as McCain.
Now that Trump has been thoroughly exonerated, it's time for the counter-attack.
The Corona virus, so far, has been about 20x moreeffectivedeadly than the typical yearly flu on a per-person basis. i.e.: 20 out of 1000 people who catch corona die whereas only 1 out of 1000 who catch typical yearly flu die.
We're still not sure how contagious Corona virus is, or, specifically, how it jumps to new victims. If it manages to spread to 10 million or 20 million people (remember, there is no vaccine), that could mean 200k to 400k people dead. Actually, if it spreads quickly to 20 million people it might overwhelm hospitals and then be even more deadly than the current 2%.
The 2% is likely quite exaggerated since you don't catch all the infection with minor symptoms or no symptoms which of course contribute to the spread. You only catch the very sick. Outside of China only 1 person died so far out of what 300, so it would be 0.33% mortality rate. Also R0 is believed to be around 2-2.5 not 4 like previously reported or feared. It's still very contagious and nothing to take easy but it seems like the US and most other countries have been taking the right (drastic) measures so far ti curb/contain the spread.I hope you are right. On the flip side, do you really trust the accuracy of China's reporting? Perhaps there are many more people sick than stated. Perhaps some people are dying but not being reported (this was apparently the case early on).

This got me thinkng...What (if anything) could one do to prepare... even if this one doesn't spread far and wide here in the states... what would / could I do if I were in similar situation?
