It would seem that far more qualified people wholeheartedly disagree with you. All vaccines being discussed at the moment required two doses, not just the Pfizer one.

Was wondering how our Canadian govnt was able to announce yesterday we would have more Pfizer vaccines shipped to us, when it seemed we may be lower on the customer priority list since we are talking a significantly smaller order than the US or UK would put in. (Population numbers game). Sorry for your loss but will…

Another good one would be other countries requiring Americans be vaccinated before entering.

This is one thing the private sector might take care of.

What’s infuriating is that the WaPo story calls this a “protest” and even references BLM protests at mayors and AGs houses. I don’t know how to define it, but it cannot be a protest if what you’re protesting is a thing that is made up.

Quite frankly this increase in giving is a sign of a fucked up taxation system. The good that these charitable dollars are doing should have been taxed from them so we as a society can determine what to do with them rather than people just funding their private wants through charitable giving which skews what gets aid.

Rich People who REALLY want to affect Change with money

I don’t see ya askin trump for a apology when he out here missing COVID meetings to play golf but 

Biden said he would order mask use “where the federal government has authority.”

We need to find some way to eliminate “I’m just asking questions” from the discourse. It’s not because asking questions is bad - it’s good. The issue is that “just asking questions” doesn’t really do any good if you can’t understand the answers.

This is an excellent point. Not every rapist is some stranger hiding in the bushes. In fact, most are not strangers. They have friends and families and go to church and do volunteer work and also are rapists. We just don’t know that part until we do. Kathy Lee told her own reminiscence. Maybe, she (like many other…

“And the one and only time that he did try to kiss me, I said, ‘No. Bill, you’re my friend.’ He goes, ‘You’re right. Good night.’

I like to pronounce it, ‘absolute horseshit’ but that’s just me. How do you pronounce it?

You know what I would not like to put in my body? COVID-19. Unless there is actual, verifiable, proven negative side effects, I’m getting the vaccine ASAP. “Asking questions” should mean being interested in obtaining factual answers. Not gaslighting bullshit to reinforce your preconceived conspiracy theories.

I support defunding the police and have used the slogan myself, but I agree with Obama that it’s not a great slogan and it’s alienating potential voters. Instead of getting upset at this guy, it would be more beneficial to discuss clearer messaging.

Came here to say that he’s pretty much completely right, but I’m happy to see every single comment is already saying that.

Most people are idiots with the attention span of a goldfish.
You say “defund the police”, they hear “no police, anarchy, red menace communism”. And guess what ? Most of them won’t bother to do the…

When I hear ‘defund’ it says to me zero dollars whatsoever toward policing because ‘defund’ has been sloganed by anti-choice nutjobs to mean that organizations like Planned Parenthood must close and receive no federal funding for anything, ever.

Obama “put his foot in his mouth again”? Oh you mean the first black President, and the best President of my lifetime, offered a reasonable and well thought out opinion about an issue of national public concern? How dare he! Doesn’t he know that only YOU get to offer opinions? And if he does get to offer an opinion,…

Obama is right.

He’s not wrong, though. “Defund the Police,” snappy as it might be, is a vast oversimplification of what that plan often entails (depending on who you ask)—redistributing funds to services that the police shouldn’t be involved with to begin with, like welfare checks and mental illness interventions.  Yes, explaining…
