"Yeah, we knew what the rules were. Sure, we knew what the punishment would be if we broke the rules.

But now that we have broken the rules and gotten caught, we think the punishment is too stringent!

Change the rules for us or we'll sue!"

According to the report, the drug has been “highly effective in preventing and treating” the SARS-CoV-2 infections in mice and hamsters during tests. The drug also reportedly does not bind to human cells, which suggests it will not have negative side-effects in people.



Lets go!!!!!

It's amazing how the results vary so much from neutral pollsters to GOP-leaning pollsters, isn't it?!

This bicyclist is so threatening! Good thing the police officer got backup before giving the teen a ticket.

The suburbs know.

Trump does not follow the law.

Trump cannot maintain order.

I have a dumb question, Fac...

How many times does ONE campaign have to make the same location of photo mistake before they get wise to it and fix the problem?!

[facilitatorn]

The fact that the substitution is inevitably from one autocracy or another, usually somewhere trump grifts and washes money, seems cartoonishly Freudian, even for a boomer crook who grew up steeped with pronounced daddy issues.

Maybe someone in the graphics department is trying to raise the alarm. Maybe One of the moles in the graphics department is signaling back to the Kremlin that the operation is running smoothly or has reached another objective or milestone.

Maybe the self aware computational uni-mind that controls all our web searches is also sick of trump and likes to point out that he’s still a sad desperate puppet in myriad public ways too subtle for most meat sacks to perceive.

It may also have something to do with the misadministration to be chock full of top shelf winners like this

Voters Say Media Focuses on Issues With Biden, Controversy With Trump
Monday, September 14, 2020

Voters think the media is a lot more interested in selling you Joe Biden’s positions than it is in letting you know where President Trump stands on the issues. Controversy’s the key when it comes to media coverage of Trump.

In covering Biden, 67% of Likely U.S. Voters believe the media is more interested in where he stands on the issues than in creating controversies about him. A new Rasmussen Reports national telephone and online survey finds that only 19% think the media is more interested in Biden controversies. Thirteen percent (13%) are undecided.

By contrast, only 41% think the media is more interested in where Trump stands on the issues. Forty-nine percent (49%) say they are more focused on creating controversies about him. Ten percent (10%) are not sure.







Even among Democrats, just 53% feel the media is more interested in where Trump stands on the issues, compared to 73% who feel that way about media coverage of Biden.




Most Republicans and voters not affiliated with either major party say the media is more interested in creating controversies when it comes to Trump but more interested in the issues when it comes to his Democrat rival.




When it comes to candidates in general, 66% of voters believe the media is more interested in creating controversies about them than in reporting where they stand on the issues. Just 27% think the issues are more important for the media.






The survey of 1,000 Likely U.S. Voters was conducted September 7-8, 2020 by Rasmussen Reports. The margin of sampling error is +/- 3 percentage points with a 95% level of confidence. Field work for all Rasmussen Reports surveys is conducted by Pulse Opinion Research, LLC. See methodology.

The latest results are no surprise given that voters still think most news reporters are biased and will continue to help Biden a lot more than Trump in their coverage of the presidential campaign.

Voters saw a similar pro-Democrat bias in the two previous presidential elections. In July 2016, 50% said most reporters would try to help Hillary Clinton versus 11% who would try to help Trump more. In the fall of 2012, 51% expected most reporters to try to help Barack Obama, while only nine percent (9%) thought they would be biased in favor of his GOP opponent Mitt Romney.

Voters in nearly every demographic category agree that the media is more interested in issues when it comes to Biden and controversy when it comes to Trump.

Seventy-nine percent (79%) of voters who Strongly Approve of the job Trump is doing say the media is more interested in creating controversies about him. When it comes to Biden, 65% of these voters say the media focus is on where he stands on the issues.

Among those who Strongly Disapprove of the president’s job performance, 61% think the media is most focused on the issues when dealing with Trump, while 78% say Biden’s media coverage is issue-focused.

With less than two months until Election Day, Biden holds a slight two-point lead over Trump in the latest Rasmussen Reports’ weekly White House Watch survey. But Trump voters appear to be hiding their vote again this election cycle.

Most voters say the upcoming presidential election is about Trump and rate Biden’s agenda of secondary importance.

Not satisfied with pulling off the biggest self own in modern history White people out here trying to set a new record.

Anyone notice the latest news from Sweden on COVID ?


Sweden's infection rate, once the highest in Europe, is now lower than in UK, Spain, France, Italy or Denmark

Curve was flattened without a lockdown as government trusted Swedes to take necessary hygiene measures

Falling cases and deaths have led Britain to regard the country as safe and remove it from quarantine list

Swedish economy has seen a milder downturn than in much of Europe as shops and restaurants stayed open



And it doesn’t  mandate masks   

Imagine that

At last,  a post to which I can respond with authentic knowledge handed down through my family!   (I'm positively giddy)   My father,  a first generation child of Swedish parents,  was sent by his newspaper to Sweden to learn about their innovative approach to elder care and write a series of articles.   On that trip,  and others he took simply to visit,  and also from his parents,  aunts,  uncles, et al, he learned much about Swedish society.   One aspect,  of relevance to this topic,  is an overall approach to health that means hygiene and social distancing are somewhat "built in" to their society.   And it meant that assisted living for elders was already more prepared for safe bubbles,  where caregivers did not travel between facilities or have much outside contact.   

This means that Sweden is atypical,  that its particular social structure did allow a less mandated approach to the pandemic.   And,  like other Scandinavians (and,  say,  Canadians)  Swedes are more willing to follow social rules that foster community safety even without express legal pressure.   

America is quite different in this regard,  as everyone has surely noticed.   So the Swedish approach wouldn't yield the same results here.

A reminder to the lockdown/mask nannies that fighting COVID is not a zero sum proposition.

Nice job by Biden campaign, coining "climate arsonist".

But the media on West Wing would be having a field day re:  where Joe chooses to campaign.

Re:  arson

Is it true they caught a guy in Oregon, released him, then he set five more fires?

Mon Dieu'!

How about those dry lightning bolts Zeus is tossing around out there? Righteous, huh?

heh
