So Barrett voted in favor of religious groups, as she will do in every other case involving Christian religious groups.


 

No she sided with both Christians and Jews who sued over being denied First Amendment rights.


So, "Christians and Jews" are not a part of "religious groups".


Might want to brush up on your verbal skills.

It's a pretty weak argument that religious groups were more heavily restricted in numbers than grocery stores and therefore the religious groups were singled out or discriminated against.  As though these are similar situations.  First off, food is essential for survival.  Second, you don't spend an hour in a grocery store next to mostly the same people.  A grocery store presents a different risk profile than a church or synagogue.  Now maybe NY should restrict the numbers of customers in a  grocery store at one time in red zones, but it would still be based on a different calculus than a religious gathering.

Utley asked for details and was told to basically "fuck off"

Why shouldn’t I? 

Isn’t this the same motherfucker who accused you of all kind of heinous shit?

I don’t have the balls?

I don’t have the inclination.

Happy Thanksgiv8ng

Poor Larry. He's worse than RED. Red ignores when asked to back his assertions, but Larry takes it as a personal attack on his intelligence as a human being, gets defensive, then starts igniting little fires wherever he thinks they might catch in order to change the subject and to continue to dodge the initial request.

Of course, you "don't have the inclination". Translation:  You know it was a valid criticism to begin with.

And you had to be shamed into to answering a straightforward request.

Nice fiction

You might want to use your internet connection to research the details of this case.
Just a suggestion.

I skimmed it for flavor-but first QnD bottom line take was that while certain facts are undeniable (like racism and voter suppresion and heavy TV watchers may be more suspectible to propaganda) is the correlations that knicks hoped to find and the ones he alluded to here, don't appear near as definitive in his studies.  And in many cases are not present at all. ie there is no correlation. But in some instances there were.

and my concern about his interview sampling is also noted in his study.

IMO that is a real concern in the methodology.

I'll go over it again and read it more closely but that was my initial take.

But to be fair, I read it very quickly.

Victoria, Australia had 8,000 active COVID-19 cases not very long ago.

They are now COVID-19-free!

But it can't be controlled...
