Americans are none too pleased: https://www.yahoo.com/news/poll-as-oppo … 59351.html
This may cost the Republicans a few more senate seats.
Grahams toast. Just imagine how many ads are being run with him saying "I will not put a SC justice in the final year of a Presidency. You can use my words against me".
I think Georgia's looking like it'll flip. There were lines past 8pm last night alone. Republicans are not the ones voting early, and they're misjudging covid that by election day it'll be an awful virus to catch again, and people will not want to stand in a crowded line, and seeing democrats stand in line for weeks on end, and mail in early, it'll be over. This things gonna be a landslide, someone inform amy that trump cannot 'postpone the election' lol. Idiot.

She punted on whether trump can postpone the election. said she had to speak to her law clerks & colleagues.
Clown show. GTFOH

Feinsteins owning her. Its obvious they prepared for abortion & catholicism, and is not prepared especially on lifetime & annual maximums the ACA implemented that existed before Obama. She wasn't even aware the ACA implemented a law prohibiting that.

John Roberts prior decision essentially saved ACA by saying the Individual Mandate was a tax. Later rulings dug into ACA, so now they're circling back and saying the tax is lllegal, and it will void out ACA. Of course Fox News isn't reporting this bc they know ACA is popular among the public and announcing it will tarnish GOP chances.
BTW, 10 mill (10%) of people already voted, and its only Oct 13. Easy to surmise a large majority of them voting democrat. Very long lines in Georgia too, which has a Senate seat. One more that looks like it might flip.
You've been warned

PaSnow, another one of your talking points is evaporating.
Well, 8 months later so, theres a variable there.
Btw, i think the GOP was caught offguard the dems are solely going to make this about aca. gop was expecting a catholic vilification and they whiffed.
This is now about unseating senators. They were caught offguard. Grahams going down.
You still haven't answered how ACB is a threat to the ACA. How the ACA is under any threat. You should do some research more than viewing twiiter.
Ok, i'll bite. Another one of randalls leading trap questions.

gop already killed off aca anyway. Ridding the individual mamdate it collapses over time. As no one would get healthcare, until they need it, which obviously doesnt wofk for the insurance companies.

Flagg... did you read the article?
“We in the World Health Organization do not advocate lockdowns as the primary means of control of this virus,” Nabarro told "The Spectator." Nabarro said lockdowns can only be justified "to buy you time to reorganize, regroup, rebalance your resources, protect your health workers who are exhausted. But by and large, we’d rather not do it.”
They literally don't say what the headline implies. They are meant as a short-term solution to buy time and provided that time is used wisely to put the right systems in place for dealing with Covid. As mentioned in that piece... the US in general has a poor testing and contact tracing setup.
The WHO are saying get on top of these things properly. When a lockdown is used, use the time it buys effectively. Educate the public and be effective with messaging, have the systems in place to deal with cases effectively and craft a system for life to proceed as normal as possible whilst keeping rates of infection low. If countries (I suppose in the US everything is so decentralised a lot of this is down to state level) don't do that they'll be yo-yo'ing between opening and closing their societies for a long time.
Of course I did, I don't link articles I haven't read. This article is one of many sating the WHO's point - I chose it to avoid the hyenas questioning source. The WHO also said we've doubled global poverty with the shutdowns. As Europe and much of the US is debating shutting down again (Joe Biden is running on shutting down), I felt it important to point out that as of today the WHO is against shut downs. The harm from locking people inside for weeks the destruction of the economy is just as bad if not worse than the questionable death toll being parroted by pro-Biden media. Up until May, the WHO was antimask. PASnow lives has a time machine and/or doesn't perceive time as linear as the rest of us.
Dude, I've been wearing a mask since March. So was everybody. If you think people were unsure whether to wear one or not until May you gotta quit reading internet articles & go out and live.

#359 Re: The Sunset Strip » GNREvo's Favourite Album of the Century so far, Elimination Round 1 » 291 weeks ago
Yeah, 1991 alone would probably replace 5 or 6 albums here.
Thought I posted, but I went with Portishead. Could be good, just never heard of them, so to me it's like Wilco, great band, great albums, I just wouldn't give it much more than 'Album of the year' type grammy stuff. For a list like this sales & cultural relevance kinda matters.
BLS you should check out American Idiot. Had alot of hits but its also a concept album of sorts. Was kinda the first newer one that started the trend. Supposedly he was following up with Minority & Warning type 3 chord stuff, and said he didn't wanna do that anymore. they asked him what he wanted to do like a rock opera, and was sorta inspired by Queen. I never owned the album or listened straight thru, but there's a 9 minute song "Jesus Of Suburbia" that's pretty good & kinda fills in some of the pieces that tie it all together.
It's a pretty impressive album & I'd even view Green Day as pre-American Idiot & post-American Idiot. It's unfortunate Pearl Jam never had such a monumental mid-career album. Other bands mostly had the singer die or form supergroups.

He should have done better with Covid. There was a lot of misinformation from the start because of China. Had China been honest and had not been hoarding supplies, this would have been significantly different. Why is it so hard to place blame on China? Do we hate Trump that badly that we ignore this reality?
He took office with it at 4.9 and trending downwards, it's now over 7. Unemployments gone up.
