Slightly off subject but I also caught a bit of Fredo Cuomo v Ted Cruz last night. It was a classic match between a real smart jerk and a real dumb one. I don’t care for Rafael much but watching him pull Fredo’s feathers out by the handful was pure delight
OK, I was on your side until your comment above. "Don't you talk about my Luciille (Farah) like that' -Edward Kennedy, from Cool Hand Luke
Oh yeah cuz I'm the only man in America who thinks Farrah was insanely hot. You digging up the dead like that was funny, tho, so you got that going for you.
Yep. It's so bizarre, and it's almost the entirety of the left, not just the media. Trump is like, the easiest candidate ever to come up with legit criticisms against, and yet the vast majority of the main complaints about him (he mocked a reporter for being disabled, he said neo-Nazis were fine people, he told people to drink bleach, he said he was going to stay in the office no matter what, he refused to condemn white supremacists) are just flat-out falsehoods. All it does is lend credence to the idea on the right that Trump is a great representative for them; it's like "he is persecuted and falsely accused just like we are, but he gets to give the rough treatment back to them in kind", so the left just keeps ensuring that most of the right will see him as an Avenging Hero (even the ones who don't like him that much in other ways). Yep. But I'll help you out here with one really obvious example that should be undeniably considered dumb, sans agenda: "Buffalo protester shoved by Police could be an ANTIFA provocateur. 75 year old Martin Gugino was pushed away after appearing to scan police communications in order to black out the equipment. I watched, he fell harder than was pushed. Was aiming scanner."
In Oklahoma it is the difference of about 5% positivity rate - from about 10 to 15. So, about a 1/3 difference. An epidemiologist we work with has been tracking it since mandates developed.
There's no question that the haggling with Fauci and the politicization of mask-wearing created a problem. However, I think the political damage of looking foolish damaged him more than the health impact. And I'm not sure about the "rest of the world." Germany and the UK are both seeing some spikes. In fact, going back on lockdown is seriously being considered here. I'm sure that's a factor, but he'd be making the appointment even if it wasn't. No President just willingly ditches a Supreme Court nomination. I don't see much "both sides"-ing from the media. I see Trump largely getting ripped a new one and Biden mostly being praised. They are pointing out that he got obnoxious at times, but they're justifying it as a rightful response to Trump.
Do dudes in Mobilhoma think balls are hot? I guess if we can have a fan of taint here, we can have a fan of balls.
It's coincidence. If it was causative you would see the same relationship across all other countries, states, regions. You don't. The virus tracks the same regardless of the precautions taken. The only difference is when the curve occurs due to when the virus gets a foothold in the population.
Did you see that POS Acosta whined that Trump did not take questions as he walked to Marine One on way to Walter Reed?
The New York Times: “Facing Grim Polls, Trump Leans Into Playing the Victim” The Washington Post: “Imagine What it Will Be Like to Never Have to Think About Trump Again”
Say what you will about O'Reily, but he was the only one in the media who refused to take crap from frauds like Rubin There is no one left who shuts her down like this
JF I thought that USA poll was a fake but they actually did gave it up. It has been taken down now but it was up
Someone finally let Shep Smith back on the air He got only 322k his first week on CNBC This during a period when Tucker Carlson is now getting over 5M viewers Shepard Smith averages 322,000 viewers in first week on CNBC
I don't know if they get good ratings or not. Probably do because even though a lot of conservatives will complain about the liberal slant, they will still, inexplicably, tune in.
