Yes, the President* - who wasn’t in the building for any of the impeachment proceedings - couldn’t respond to a building health crisis because he had to be ...not in the building during impeachment proceedings. What the absolute shit.

You’ve never been to a gun show, I take it.

So is that 100,000 to 240,000 goal range for worldwide deaths or national? The slide does not indicate that these numbers are national estimates.

They’re bringing up the “why now” thing because the answer is obvious and they want to point it out. Ford only made her claims against Kavanaugh when he was nominated for the Supreme Court. Ford wanted to keep Kavanaugh off the Court in order to protect Roe. So she lied having been sexually assaulted to tank his…

Trump isn’t being pissy because the governor of Michigan is female. He’s being pissy because the governor of Michigan is a Democrat. So cut the idiotic “sexism” crap.

I don’t recall seeing any mention in the Constitution that fundamental human rights, rights which the Bill of Rights explicitly deny government any authority or power over whatsoever, are subject to arbitrary governmental suspension.

A significant chunk of his base is unable to really understand things without it having a direct impact on their lives.

Never take medical advice from ideologues.

So the UK has gone into full lockdown along the German model.

Because what the world needs is more tyranny.

So, if McConnell is sidelined, he personally won’t be able to continue gatekeeping.  They might be able to get his temporary replacement to make some concessions, but I wouldn’t bet on it.
