Why am I not surprised that you get your “news” from Twitter?

why do you divert? So weak and childish.

Trump did stop an investigation into a cabinet secretary helping chinese companies - now a criminal investigation into the matter has been recommended.

Trump did have an unusual $15 million revenue spike into his Chinese bank account, and Trump did withdraw $15 million from that account.

Another new high for US vaccinations: 2.16 mn 7 day average

When Supreme Courts Justices vote 4-3 on these issues - IT is NOT a good situation!

They're roughly evenly split on tons of things. And to this non-lawyer, that has always struck me as perhaps somewhat damning about the law and/or the exalted judges that practice it.

But it in no way counterbalances ALL of the state governments, lower judges, and executive branch experts (AG/DOJ, DHS, FBI, etc.) who found no significant problems.

The Supreme Court splitting on one or more relatively narrow cases does nothing to change the fact that it was, in fact, simply a big lie. And the fact that roughly half of the US refuses to see through this utterly transparent effort is tragic and pathetic.

Why not simply show the data then and get everyone to shut up and move on? It's amazing on how much effort is being put into verifying signatures for recalls in California, but that wasn't allowed to happen in a Presidential election?!?!? HR1 = More cheating for Dems. What a joke!

No Republicans voted for the Biden stimulus because they want to say it isn’t bipartisan.

They don’t want to give the Democrats a win.

But it will help tons of people in red states.

I would say none voted in favor of the plan because it is fiscally dangerous at this time and does not help those in need enough.

It is more a Pork bill than it is a Covid relief bill.

Not good when so many others point this out!

You keep saying that. Maybe you could detail the parts you think are pork.

Well, we aren't in the Confederacy anymore. Although, there are a few people still fighting the War here.

I just did a quick glance at the NM and AK vaccine data - the #1 and #2 on your list.

Their strategy looks to be a bit different than Georgia (last on the list). It looks like the other states have opened up vaccinations to wider groups.

For example, Georgia has vaccinated 84% of residents 75+ while NM has vaccinated 61% in that group. And I believe it was reported that GA had vaccinated 60+% in the 65+ age group as of several days ago.

64% of residents receiving at least one dose in GA have been 65+ compared to 45% in that group in AK.

I couldn't find the vaccine data for CT (#3), but I believe they had opened it up to 50+ recently.

It looks like the top states have opened vaccinations up to wider groups earlier and vaccinated more residents, but have vaccinated fewer of the most at risk for death or hospitalizations compared to GA.

It will be interesting to see which strategies are going to be most effective in terms of the future number of deaths and serious illnesses.

Well, ok then!!!! wrote:

Here is the link to the stimulus bill for referral:

Americans should be outraged at this. Remember, NOTHING is free.

American population: 330,483,530

Stimulus bill: ~$2,000,000,000,000 ($2 Trillion) for math sake

Dividing the cost by every American is $6,051.74 The government could have given every person over $6,000, but instead will give $1,200 to each adult under a certain income.

The breakdown of the remaining 96% in what is touted as a covid relief package:

1. $300,000,000 for Migrant and Refugee Assistance pg.. 147.

2. $10,000 per person for student loan bailout.

3. $100,000,000 to NASA

4. $20,000,000,000 to the USPS

5. $300,000,000 to the Endowment for the Arts

7. $15,000,000 for Veterans Employment Training / for when the GI Bill isn't enough.

8. $435,000,000 for mental health support.

12. $500,000,000 to Museums and Libraries

13. $720,000,000 to Social Security Admin / only 200,000,000 is to help people. The rest ($520,000,000) is for admin costs. This is not an exaggeration. That should disgust you.

14. $25,000,000 for Cleaning supplies for the Capitol Building / page 136.

15. $7,500,000 to the Smithsonian for additional salaries. Remember, already $500,000,000 was allotted to museums.

16. $35,000,000 to the JFK Center for Performing Arts.

17. $25,000,000 for additional salary for House of Representatives. Disgusting. Don’t you wish you could vote for your own raise, even when you do a poor job?

well really..it's a stimulus bill.

by definition it's pork. That's the whole point. To send money out to the country to be spent in order to stimulate the economy.

The challenge is to send the money to the right places.

If someone thinks the money is being sent to the wrong places, then they might have a fair criticism.

But to complain about a stimulus bill being full of pork..is just stupid. Of course it is. That's the point.

fair point - the goal isn't max jabs...the goal is to reduce serious illness and death.

BTW you have a good mind. Kudos.

The Wall Street Journal editorial board and Forbes characterizes it as this:

$1 Trillion expansions of progressive programs - PORK for the left

$0.90.Trillion actual Covid relief

I listened to Dems say Trump was an illegitmate President for four years

That's completely false, stop making things up. Show me anyone saying that after his inauguration. Are you referring to the Mueller investigation maybe? That wasn't about de-legitimizing Trump's Presidency. We won. We got it. But the question was whether he committed a crime. And despite Trump's many assurances that the entire investigation was a witch hunt, it resulted in 34 indictments. And this was from a GOP-led Justice Department so it was not some kind of Democratic conspiracy.

Hahaha .... the poor senile old man can barely speak a coherent sentence. If he wasn’t so creepy and corrupt, I’d almost feel sorry for him.

Dementia Joe and his gang of totalitarian leftist thugs will Make China Great Again.

I know that I shouldn't bother, but...... Why would you WANT to look so obtuse, ignornant, and childish? A breakdown:

Dementia Joe - Adults don't talk like middle schoolers. Like the former president. And so many of his supporters.....and freakin' members of congress and leaders of states.

Gang - Also childish. Disagreeing with a group on policy does not make them a "gang." Reserve that for actual gangs.

Totalitarian - The most annoying, of course. One president and his party and his supporters actually clearly showed a desire for this for 4 years - culminating with a clear effort to overturn an election. The other side, for all their faults, has never come CLOSE to anything like this. You know this. Look in the mirror and grow up.

Leftist - If moderate Democrat Biden is a leftist, what do you call actual leftists? Why must you pretend that every with whom you disagree with on policy is ACTUALLY at the far other end of the political spectrum? Is it really that upsetting and disorienting to simply disagree with someone who might not be THAT far from you, politically? Try it. It's not hard, and you won't die. It won't even hurt. And it's what adults do.

Make China Great Again. Finishing up with more childishness. Again, you can reasonably disagree with Democrats on TONS of things. But why make silly argument about just about anyone in the US ACTUALLY wanting to do this? Simply silly, and degrades any argument you might be making.

Not at all clear what "data" you're talking about. And you appear not to know what the simple word "more" means. What was the demonstrated cheating that has already happened? There wasn't any. And at some level, you know this. But you INSIST on listening to and believing people who you ought to KNOW lie to you daily. Impressive.
