POLITICAL THREAD

[Girthang]

Considering they use an inactive form of the viruses, I’d say you are just fear mongering.

No surprise you'd say that.

What "fear" am I "mongering" here? Lol. I'm giving facts that are easily confirmed by combing through the govt websites. Feel free

The flu evolves so quickly that it is really hard to create an effective vaccine. That’s the reason why I do not get one. These inert vaccines are not going to make anything worse, however,

You, on the other hand, are parroting talking points, marketing, and CYA by the industry. Just like some are "mongering a fear" of not getting them.

Seeing as you're an anti-vaxxer, there's no point in talking to you about this.

if you have some evidence to counter my claim,

It's not an "if" situation. The govt has the "evidence" on their own public facing sites. You just have to not be lazy and disingenuous enough to go look for it yourself.

you’d completely revolutionize epidemiology and probably earn yourself some serious cash.

You're an absolute moron if you think that last part is true.

Epidemiology is not a hard and fast science that is by any means "solved" as any science wouldn't be. Most things you hear parroted as "fact" and "the science" in many sectors are just theoretical but as such have garnered the most popularity and following in industry. The current "settled science" taught in nearly every accredited institution of higher learning is germ theory, vaccine science, and allopathic treatment of dis ease.

That doesn't make it right and unerring any more than it made leaching/bleeding "settled science" hundreds of years ago even though so many in the profession swore by it.

There ARE other methods of care and treatment that have proven effective at not just lessening symptoms but also dealing with causes and shoring up immune systems against future issues. Since you're anti-science, I wouldn't expect you to have looked into anything besides what you've been told.

 

[hmt5000]

Waiting for someone to explain that she can't be fired because she's a government worker... LOL.

 

[hmt5000]

we have to pretend we are watching 2 sides play by the same rules.... but dems are filing impeachment charges for nothing while activist judges are stopping DOGE from saving tax payer money. Scott Jennings said it well... "democrats are taking the 20% side on every 80/20 issue". Polls are showing that dems are losing support while Trumps is slightly increasing.

 

[Girthang]

So you are saying the court is the highest power in the land? The constitution says the President is in charge of the executive branch. If a judge can rule over judicial, legislative and executive branch then a rogue judge can be emperor. The judge didn't even make a legal case for his ruling.... He was just like "nah, I don't like it". LOL

Exactly. Balance of powers does not mean they all individually override the group. It also doesn't mean that one group can't affect the actions of another group. But none can do the entire job of the other two. As an executive branch leader, you can remove a judge appointed by another executive branch leader at certain levels- not SCOTUS, unless there is a crime committed like treason.

Same goes for a judicial branch that can remove a member of another branch if that member commits crimes in the performance of their duties as such, and can overrule a law or executive order if it demonstrated sufficiently to be unconstitutional.

Same goes for the legislature that can overrule the judicial branch by codifying a law with a certain level of membership approval (like 75%) even if the judiciary thinks or rules it is unconstitutional.

There are processes in place for these things and few of them are undertaken by lower level judges because they don't have the authority.

 

[JumperJack]

 

[Girthang]

Then why didn't the judge give a legal argument for the ruling and why didn't the judge let Trumps lawyers make arguments? For instance, he didn't just ban Trump from accessing Treasury records. He banned the duly placed Treasury secretary too.

You won't get an answer from the left on that. It'll be circular arguments and deflection, "but so and so did....," or changing of the subject. Ssdd dif subject

 

[Girthang]

So people didn't get fired for refusing the vax? Seems like I remember about 30K people losing their jobs.

Many many more than that, but yes.

Military, education, medical, aviation, govt of all levels.... They have no true official totals because so many just quit rather than taking it or got other jobs. Those threats in themselves were criminal in nature and should be prosecuted in criminal or civil courts.

 

[Bill Derington]

No. They were building a fleet of container ships for his wifes family.

Remember a few years ago when Hemp was the rage? Seems like that collapsed pretty quickly, McConnell sure spoke highly of hemp.
There’s a half built concrete monolith built in Mayfield that was going to be a hemp processing facility. Probably built just enough to get the govt money.

 

[Girthang]

Was McConnell at least stealing money from the treasury to benefit KY during this multi-decade grift? Or was he just benefiting his family and China?

When vh crawls out of Mitch's anus, maybe he can tell us what McConnell was doing with the money

 

[hmt5000]

 

[hmt5000]

Powell has seemed nervous since the election. An audit of the fed would expose so much of the grift it might break the system

 

[hmt5000]

Some would say we can't stop this since money is spent. Just have to keep wasting it and accepting open lawlessness. LOL.

 

[Girthang]

This tweet explains very clearly what is happening.

Here! As my friend puts it, THIS is the rot and sickness model of how the world works if its purposes and powers are not vigilantly kept in check. He's got half a book dedicated to demonstrating this model, and how it differs from the "external threats" model.

Lol I am not anti-vax and I am certainly not anti-science. Either show us how the different vaccines are creating more formidable viruses, give us the phone number of your voodoo Appalachian shaman that can provide us alternative treatments, or quit spewing nonsense about contagious diseases.

 

[Girthang]

The goal of some slaves is to own slaves themselves.

The goal of the left is not to end corruption and graft, but instead to have a piece of the pie themselves.

The goal of the hypocrite is not to be righteous, but to let wickedness flourish so that their hypocrisy is less obvious.

[sambowieshin]

My grandmother used to say you can’t help the ignorant and you are living proof of that. Gracious Lord above.

If Trump ignores the courts because he doesn't like the rulings... Then your grandma was talking about you, not me.

[sambowieshin]

Our hero, sambowieshin, is going to save us all. 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂

If Trump ignores the court's rulings because he doesn't like the outcome..... It will be the 2nd clear sign under Trump our democracy is in danger of being destroyed.
History will show that Jan 6th was the shot across the bow.

If they actually believe this then they should join the States that have already voted for holding an Article V Convention.

This is what giving blank checks to bureaucrats get for us. crazy left-wing lunatic is more worried about helping illegal immigrants tha to help poor people who lost everything in NC. I hope she does jail time.

 

[bigblueinsanity]

I would say your argument (and the other "impeach federal judges" arguments on here) are the oversimpled, lay arguments. IMO, it is a reasonable opinion that an agency that was created by and appropriated by Congress cannot be eliminated (or have its appropriation frozen) by the executive branch. Whether that is legally correct will be tested at the appellate level. But I don't see that's an outrageous decision.

Thats a strawman. I didn't argue for elimination. The argument is for auditing which is clearly within the discretion of the head of an agency. For a judge to rule otherwise is completely ignoring all sound principles.

Of course they ignored it because the result was all that was sought. The result is just a delay, they know wont stick, intended to get enough money out to reform the treasonous shadow government central nervous system.

 

[sambowieshin]

Our hero, sambowieshin, is going to save us all. 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂

Sure as hell isn't gonna be the Red Hats or Trump. Somebody has to stand up for our Constitution.
So many on this thread don't have a clue how our system of checks and balances works in our Constitution.
Nowhere does it say you can just ignore court rulings you don't like.
There is something called an "APPEALS PROCESS".
In the meantime that judge's ruling stands until overturned.

 

[hmt5000]

Democrats would have you believe people didn't vote for her due to racism. LOL. We dodged the biggest bullet in our countries history.

Ever heard of something called organ donation?? There is nothing illegal or immoral about someone giving permission for that.

The low IQ "X" outrage over science is just ridiculous.
Your ilk would still be using leeches and witchcraft if not for scientists with brains.

Trump has full control of All 3 branches of government. Why doesn't he make changes to all of these government agencies via codified law and Congress??
It is because that requires thoughtful, difficult work.
He sits at his throne in the Oval Office and signs worthless EOs that he knows the judges are going to toss because they are unconstitutional and illegal.
He doesn't GAF about actually making long standing changes. He just likes chaos and confusion. He is an idiot. Hopefully our checks and balances keep him from doing generational damage before he is impeached or his term is up.
Ignoring judges rulings is the first step towards fascism.

Ugh more TDS.

As much pushback as you get in here, and as much as you are consistently proven wrong, it amazes me that you call someone else an idiot. Everybody else is wrong, but you are the one person that is correct about everything?

My goodness, the lack of self reflection in you always amazes me.

the dems have stirred enough shit that they are now protesting in DC over DOGE. People get pissed when somebody messes with their gravy train. Stay steady with the digging Elon!

You're just the type of idiot soldier that ended up in Nuremberg because they gassed children in Concentration camps. 🤡
You're also wrong.

"Both Article 90 of the UCMJ, the charge of willfully disobeying a superior commissioned officer, and Article 92, failure to obey an order, say that they apply only to LAWFUL orders."

"Broader legal precedence holds that just following orders, colloquially known as the "Nuremberg defense" as it was used unsuccessfully by senior Nazis to justify their actions under Adolf Hitler, doesn't absolve troops."

[Girthang]

I am unlucky enough to be from the small town of the first little girl and have a first cousin that spent the previous night with this family at the Somerset hospital. The other student was from the county that I live beside.

So it's anecdotal then. Just a correlation that they died WITH "the flu or covid."

Guess I should put a laughing emoji, as you have done when I talked about people I know personally who died or nearly died from getting the not-vaccine for covid....

I read, but I don’t pause to think about vaccination status. I usually see that a kid dies and it breaks my heart.

Unless they are conservative or related to one who talks about it. So, you're a hypocritical pos and not just an ashole. Got it.

I now understand your point and it is divisive. I have two under 5 and the only vaccines they receive are from truly gnarly things like polio, German measles, and the alike. Mine have never received the covid or flu vaccines.

Like I said, you're anti-science and an anti-vaxxer according to these statements. Why aren't you "following the science" there? They're safe and effective, so you say, so why have you out your children at risk?

Yes. This is EXACTLY how your bullsht works when it gets handed right back to you.

The POTUS is under no command to spend money Congress approves. Just as the Congress is under no command to approve funds the POTUS wants available.

Yes. This is EXACTLY how your bullsht works when it gets handed right back to you.

I would imagine that a kid or two dies every year in Kentucky from said illnesses. It's heartbreaking that it happens, but improbable that your kid is that statistic. You have every right to do the laughing emoji, but I'm not peddling anti-vaccine nonsense that you regularly spew when dealing with them. You think anyone has second thought about getting the smallpox vaccine? My dad still has the scar from that, but its a necessary evil that help eradicate a terrible illness. I wish we as a society could have done the same with polio.


I feel terrible for anyone that dies of a communicable disease, especially those that are unable to tolerate the vaccines. That's why it was bad taste to vilify the covid vaccine and those that refused to take it. That sort of vitriol should be saved for the immigrants bringing deadly diseases over and the people that choose not to vaccinate against more gnarly diseases.


I choose not to get the flu vaccine because of its low efficacy, even though the vaccine has shown to lessen symptoms. I don't get the covid vaccine because I am relatively young and I hate needles. I got the TDAP booster when my son was born and if I ever need a booster for anything else that has a legitimate chance to seriously impact my children, i'll get those.

Trump is repeatedly telling millions of Palestinian people that they no longer have rights to their property and they have to relocate to another country whether they like it or not.
And if you think that is a viable plan that is ok to do then you are a psychotic Nazi ethnic cleanser.
