Noticeably missing from this post: What you thought Malcolm X really meant vs. just shrieking "NUH UHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!"
But anyway...what's your opinion about that school lowering requirements because they think minorities are apparently too stupid to handle the regular requirements?

If this isn't the soft bigotry of lowered expectations, then what is it?
Noticeably missing from your post: you establishing how my pointing out his mistake somehow requires me to go further and pontificate on his Malcolm X's work. It's the same as when you fell flat on your face, totally unprompted, for no reason, when you tried to bullshit about the "vast majority of murders in Louisiana happen in New Orleans," -- because both you and he are retarded, Methais -- but I didn't have to pontificate on the state of New Orleans in order to mock your stupidity, either.
If you'd read anything on the subject, you'd see that they're reworking their state standards as we speak. But you aren't interested in the reality, you're interested in a tribalist game of nonsense. Because you're a deluded imbecile, Methais.Quote:

Ashlianus (in roughly 5 minutes from now): YOU'RE SOOOOOOOOOO MAD BECAUSE I JUST PUT YOU IN YOUR PLACE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Let's try something different.
I'm not asking you to "have a real discussion about Malcolm X" with Rocktar or anyone else. I'm suggesting that you should "put Rocktar in his place" by stating what Malcolm X "really" meant.
The fact that you refuse when you otherwise can literally never shut the fuck up speaks volumes, along with your replies getting more and more angry and projection filled. :lol:

Ashlianus' response were he to be asked for one: THAT'S NOT WHAT ANYONE IN THAT ENTIRE VIDEO MEANT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
These are mental gymnastics on your part, attempting to remove the aspects of Rocktard's post that render it utterly meaningless to have engaged him substantively on the topic. Since he isn't actually interested in discussing what Malcolm X would have thought about the contemporary state of politics (and neither are you).
As I said, you don't know how to do anything, Methais. Except humiliate yourself, that is.

You can suggest whatever you want.

Now they're trying to scramble and put Humpty Dumpty back together again.
Wait for the "your evil" messaging to happen next summer before the mid-terms, and again before the Presidential election. All the paid protestors, agitators, and those made to scare the populous will come out... and use threats of violence to try and force citizens to "be progressive", "submit", and "be ashamed of themselves"... while the politicians look to virtue signal and gain votes, while demonizing others.
Odd how the BLM organization, and it's leaders, have suddenly disappeared huh? Odd how all of a sudden ANTIFA - after almost a year of rioting and antagonizing citizens - have suddenly disappeared. Why oh why could that ever be?
Fucking pathetic.
Covid is as bad as it's ever been and the media is barely talking about it. Trump wasn't really wrong about that. Shit, Pfizer announced the vaccine the day after election day. I'm not a Trump supporter, but once Biden got in and the vaccines rolled out the media 100% backed the idea that 'team blue won, get vaccinated, covid is over' and look how that's turning out.

"Aysha Khanom was fired from her advisory role at Leeds Beckett University after her organization, the Race Trust, called black conservative commentator Calvin Robinson a "house Negro," according to the Washington Examiner's Matthew Miller. Khanom did not back down. She told the Guardian that the term was “meant to be offensive" because it is an "antiracist" term: "There is no way they are racist. They are meant to make someone feel uncomfortable, but just because something’s offensive doesn’t mean you can’t say it.”
Fucking insane, and people need to start straight up punching people in the face. Call someone a "house ni**er" and think it's okay? Because they're "anti-racist" and their political beliefs are on the left? You see how stupid this ideology is, and what their true intentions are?

Remember comments/reasoning like this when the next election cycle comes around and the riots/looting/arson and violence starts.
"These weren’t peaceful demonstrators. These weren’t protesters exercising their constitutionally protected right to calmly express differences of opinion with their elected representatives. They were bashing down the doors."
So when police start smoking people for "bashing down the doors", don't complain.
Oh wait...
And remember - if someone is "bashing down your door" - it's okay to kill them per the author. So no complaining when it happens.
FYI, I'll probably shoot you if you try to bash down my door.
And if a cop catches you bashing down my door I'm ok with them shooting you too if you disregard lawful orders to cease and continue to try to force entry with apparent violent intent, like chanting "Hang that guy" or somesuch.
Why posted it.. to see the responses.
Interesting.

You're offended that a Congresswoman would bring her message about fair taxation to an event filled with privileged and obscenely rich people of power and influence? Does it offend you that someone only making low six figure salary in Congress would bother showing up to an event usually attended by the top one percent?
This just in, classes and castes don't exist in the United States. If you feel someone can't spend their money to convey a personal ideology, or they're outside their class, you need to go back to the 1400s where you belong.
Define fair taxation
You being retarded enough to think that "she had to spend money" at all to attend an event she got a free invitation to - along with other NYC representatives - and in a borrowed dress... that's hilarious.

You're RTC, though, so that's of no surprise to anyone. :rofl: Stick to your meltdown thread, Tardbandit.
You say that as a pejorative, but Democrats have put out an incredibly sensible plan to roll back the retarded tax cuts given to the wealthiest and corporations. 25-26% corporate tax rate, 37-38% top margin tax rate for the wealthiest. Include it a plan to tax stock options at issuance and to tax loans taken against generational wealth and you can legitimately fix the deficit. Republicans have destroyed the middle class with their trickle down nonsense, lack of fair wage support and only favoring the obscenely wealthy in tax reform
You’re such a fucking dumbass. “Only making low six figure salary”? As a congress person she makes 174k a year, this of course doesn’t even include her generous benefits, putting her comfortably in the top 10% of earners. She then has the audacity to refer to herself as a “working class woman of color”? And as usual per your stupid ass is here to defend every stupid thing a Democrat says.
Didn’t many corporations go on a hiring spree or give their workers more pay or increased benefits after Republicans lowered the corporate tax rates? The answer is yes of course. Now Democrats want to roll those taxes back while many companies are still suffering from Democrat imposed shutdowns so corporations can lower benefits and lay people off to pay for Democrats drunken spending spree.

Hate hearing Milley did what he did. You might not like Trump, and I don't like Biden, but there are mechanisms already in place and laws available to be used if their concerns were valid. They chose not to use those, and instead did this.

Except, whoops. Wages and salaries of production level, non-supervisory/management employees has been outstripped by a factor of five in comparison to productivity that employers enjoy to drive profits.
https://www.epi.org/blog/growing-ine...ypical-worker/
Factor in the wage growth inequality over the same time period ending in 2018. Wages for the lowest 90% increased 23.9%, while increasing 157.8% for the top 1% and 340.7% for the top 0.1%.
https://www.epi.org/blog/top-1-0-of-...-8-since-1979/
Hiring spree following the corporate tax rate? Corporate payrolls in non-management, production level employment /did/ increase 2017-2018, but started tanking in 2019, then utterly crashed after Covid-19. Meanwhile income for the top 1% inexplicably increased. Dun dun dun.
Dreaven would like you to believe that we're in some sort of tax sweet spot for all Americans. Well we are, if you're in the top 1% because you're doing quite well. Everyone else, not so much. But that's the Republican looter strategy for you, make the top 1% filthy rich, while yelling everyone else whose wages are barely keeping up with inflation that they're doing just fine.

I never said anything about immigration. Obviously we need to have better security at our borders. We also need to make it easier to come in to the country through the front door.
We have plenty of room for people from around the globe that want to contribute to the shared goals of the society that we promote. We just need to use the vast resources that we have within our own borders to upgrade and grow our society.

Get ready... it's coming. Pay close attention to how they note that Covid-19 has created a situation that would allow such actions to be implemented... especially with the tracking software that people are being forced to use.
This is large scale subjugation. Not raising awareness... intruding on peoples personal lives and choices, tracking them, then applying pressure to socially engineer their ability to make decisions.
"and the new behavioral and social norms formed during the pandemic, may favor PCAs."
"In particular, during the COVID-19 pandemic, restrictions on individuals for the sake of public health, and forms of individual accountability and responsibility that were unthinkable only one year before, have been adopted by millions of people."
"Initial evidence points to various issues related to adopting such schemes in liberal democracies such as in Europe and the United States—where data privacy, trust and ethical issues strongly limited participation in contact-tracing efforts during the COVID-19 pandemic46. Such resistance itself also provides important lessons for future PCA-tracking apps. For instance, new regulations have been suggested to address data privacy concerns and security vulnerabilities when using these apps43 and significant technological advances were made for privacy-preserving contact-tracing apps44. These advances could help pave the way for the adoption of PCA schemes."
They've been training people like fucking lions in a zoo... make them docile, make them subservient, take their will away, then use them for show.
There are plenty of articles on this.. you just have to pay attention.. this is not a fringe idea. Control under the guise of a crisis.
People like AOC stand in the way with extreme environmental bullshit. Most of the people under this bridge are from Haiti, that place has been rocked by earthquakes and hurricanes. Naturally these people are going to come either way, it's just how we as a society want to live with it.
You and I both have been using socialists programs our entire life. These programs have done extremely well to improve the quality of life for everyone. Public schools, public water and waste, transportation, security have all improved the business environment and quality of life.
Just build less bombs, that's really all we have to do.
I know the idea of change is scary. The world is an ever changing place and part of being human is adjusting to those changes. Just because we had to push rocks up hill 60 hours a week doesn't mean we shouldn't strive towards a society that can do the same work in 35 hours.
There's no reason our great grandchildren need to attend our parents school system. The Greatest generation came back from the war, had lots of babies and collectively invested in this countries infrastructure. The improvements they made placed our country among the best in the world to live.
We can continue that society by simply building less bombs.
I don't have any problem with reducing the money we spend on the military... especially if the other members of NATO start pulling their "fair share"......
Is anyone really arguing that? I don't believe so.
But that is a far cry from "ZOMG WE MUST STRIVE FOR SOCIALISM!" which you are espousing now.
Venezuela is a perfect example of how socialism is a shit system.
You eventually run out of other people's money.
But if you are striving for change.. why not move there and experience it in all of it's glory?
I know change can be scary... don't be a gigantic pussy about it though.

"Section 13002 of the bill includes a “per-mile user fee pilot” designed to help offset the highway infrastructure money lost via fuel taxes as vehicles become more efficient and/or electrified. Unfortunately the program aims to use connected OBD-II devices, OEM-collected telematic data, smartphone app, and information from insurance companies to effectively allow the government to track your whereabouts 24/7 and set up a payment plan using information you didn’t necessarily give up willingly."
"However, the proposed system may also include driver-monitoring cameras, totally undermining any nobility the cause might otherwise have had."
They're already trying it with this supposed "Infrastructure Bill"... Jesus fucking Christ these fuckers seriously want 1984 and all of us under their thumb.
You all that have disagreed with me for months/years... what do you think of that? Is this close enough to home to know that a camera + all digital information in your vehicle will be sent and used by the Government to tax your money and observe you?
Swear the general public, and myself in some cases, don't even realize how bad these Democrats politicians are.
The vast majority of Republicans are just as shitty. Besides running their mouths on FOX, what are the Republican actions?
Republicans will get their kickbacks and fold like a cheap suit. For fuck sakes Karl Rove has managed to snake his fat fucking face back into the scene as some sort of revolutionary.
At this point, the best thing that can happen is for the mandates to be put in place and 10's of millions of people walk off the job.

Except Republicans and Democrats didn't randomly believe that Iraq had WMDs - they believed it because they were sold a false bill of goods by a Republican administration using a fabricated pretext for war, which is what he was saying was batshit insane.
Your hilarious failure to understand the most basic positions in your native language is precisely what earned you that Retard Championship diaper, Tardbandit. Stick to your meltdown thread.
Just about everyone voted to invade Iraq, including Biden.
Democrats are currently telling us men can give birth, men should be allowed in women sports and changing rooms. and pushing racist shit on school children such as critical race theory.
I’ll take the party that doesn’t push that shit any day.
Just about everyone voted to invade Iraq after being lied to.
I'm not denying that the Democrats are fucked up, though, I'm not going to ignore that Republicans can always find the courage to spend billions on bombs but renewing our infrastructure is out of the question.

For your reading pleasure.. I present this wall of text:
"[W]e urge you, after consulting with Congress, and consistent with the U.S. Constitution and laws, to take necessary actions (including, if appropriate, air and missile strikes on suspect Iraqi sites) to respond effectively to the threat posed by Iraq's refusal to end its weapons of mass destruction programs." -- From a letter signed by Joe Lieberman, Dianne Feinstein, Barbara A. Milulski, Tom Daschle, & John Kerry among others on October 9, 1998
"This December will mark three years since United Nations inspectors last visited Iraq. There is no doubt that since that time, Saddam Hussein has reinvigorated his weapons programs. Reports indicate that biological, chemical and nuclear programs continue apace and may be back to pre-Gulf War status. In addition, Saddam continues to refine delivery systems and is doubtless using the cover of a licit missile program to develop longer- range missiles that will threaten the United States and our allies." -- From a December 6, 2001 letter signed by Bob Graham, Joe Lieberman, Harold Ford, & Tom Lantos among others
"Whereas Iraq has consistently breached its cease-fire agreement between Iraq and the United States, entered into on March 3, 1991, by failing to dismantle its weapons of mass destruction program, and refusing to permit monitoring and verification by United Nations inspections; Whereas Iraq has developed weapons of mass destruction, including chemical and biological capabilities, and has made positive progress toward developing nuclear weapons capabilities" -- From a joint resolution submitted by Tom Harkin and Arlen Specter on July 18, 2002
"Saddam's goal ... is to achieve the lifting of U.N. sanctions while retaining and enhancing Iraq's weapons of mass destruction programs. We cannot, we must not and we will not let him succeed." -- Madeline Albright, 1998
"(Saddam) will rebuild his arsenal of weapons of mass destruction and some day, some way, I am certain he will use that arsenal again, as he has 10 times since 1983" -- National Security Adviser Sandy Berger, Feb 18, 1998
"Iraq made commitments after the Gulf War to completely dismantle all weapons of mass destruction, and unfortunately, Iraq has not lived up to its agreement." -- Barbara Boxer, November 8, 2002
"The last UN weapons inspectors left Iraq in October of 1998. We are confident that Saddam Hussein retained some stockpiles of chemical and biological weapons, and that he has since embarked on a crash course to build up his chemical and biological warfare capability. Intelligence reports also indicate that he is seeking nuclear weapons, but has not yet achieved nuclear capability." -- Robert Byrd, October 2002
"There's no question that Saddam Hussein is a threat... Yes, he has chemical and biological weapons. He's had those for a long time. But the United States right now is on a very much different defensive posture than we were before September 11th of 2001... He is, as far as we know, actively pursuing nuclear capabilities, though he doesn't have nuclear warheads yet. If he were to acquire nuclear weapons, I think our friends in the region would face greatly increased risks as would we." -- Wesley Clark on September 26, 2002
"What is at stake is how to answer the potential threat Iraq represents with the risk of proliferation of WMD. Baghdad's regime did use such weapons in the past. Today, a number of evidences may lead to think that, over the past four years, in the absence of international inspectors, this country has continued armament programs." -- Jacques Chirac, October 16, 2002
"The community of nations may see more and more of the very kind of threat Iraq poses now: a rogue state with weapons of mass destruction, ready to use them or provide them to terrorists. If we fail to respond today, Saddam and all those who would follow in his footsteps will be emboldened tomorrow." -- Bill Clinton in 1998
"In the four years since the inspectors left, intelligence reports show that Saddam Hussein has worked to rebuild his chemical and biological weapons stock, his missile delivery capability, and his nuclear program. He has also given aid, comfort, and sanctuary to terrorists, including Al Qaeda members, though there is apparently no evidence of his involvement in the terrible events of September 11, 2001. It is clear, however, that if left unchecked, Saddam Hussein will continue to increase his capacity to wage biological and chemical warfare, and will keep trying to develop nuclear weapons. Should he succeed in that endeavor, he could alter the political and security landscape of the Middle East, which as we know all too well affects American security." -- Hillary Clinton, October 10, 2002
"I am absolutely convinced that there are weapons...I saw evidence back in 1998 when we would see the inspectors being barred from gaining entry into a warehouse for three hours with trucks rolling up and then moving those trucks out." -- Clinton's Secretary of Defense William Cohen in April of 2003
"Iraq is not the only nation in the world to possess weapons of mass destruction, but it is the only nation with a leader who has used them against his own people." -- Tom Daschle in 1998
"Saddam Hussein's regime represents a grave threat to America and our allies, including our vital ally, Israel. For more than two decades, Saddam Hussein has sought weapons of mass destruction through every available means. We know that he has chemical and biological weapons. He has already used them against his neighbors and his own people, and is trying to build more. We know that he is doing everything he can to build nuclear weapons, and we know that each day he gets closer to achieving that goal." -- John Edwards, Oct 10, 2002
"The debate over Iraq is not about politics. It is about national security. It should be clear that our national security requires Congress to send a clear message to Iraq and the world: America is united in its determination to eliminate forever the threat of Iraq's weapons of mass destruction." -- John Edwards, Oct 10, 2002
"I share the administration's goals in dealing with Iraq and its weapons of mass destruction." -- Dick Gephardt in September of 2002
"Iraq does pose a serious threat to the stability of the Persian Gulf and we should organize an international coalition to eliminate his access to weapons of mass destruction. Iraq's search for weapons of mass destruction has proven impossible to completely deter and we should assume that it will continue for as long as Saddam is in power." -- Al Gore, 2002
"We are in possession of what I think to be compelling evidence that Saddam Hussein has, and has had for a number of years, a developing capacity for the production and storage of weapons of mass destruction." -- Bob Graham, December 2002
"Saddam Hussein is not the only deranged dictator who is willing to deprive his people in order to acquire weapons of mass destruction." -- Jim Jeffords, October 8, 2002
"We have known for many years that Saddam Hussein is seeking and developing weapons of mass destruction." -- Ted Kennedy, September 27, 2002
"There is no doubt that Saddam Hussein's regime is a serious danger, that he is a tyrant, and that his pursuit of lethal weapons of mass destruction cannot be tolerated. He must be disarmed." -- Ted Kennedy, Sept 27, 2002
"I will be voting to give the president of the United States the authority to use force - if necessary - to disarm Saddam Hussein because I believe that a deadly arsenal of weapons of mass destruction in his hands is a real and grave threat to our security." -- John F. Kerry, Oct 2002
"The threat of Saddam Hussein with weapons of mass destruction is real, but as I said, it is not new. It has been with us since the end of that war, and particularly in the last 4 years we know after Operation Desert Fox failed to force him to reaccept them, that he has continued to build those weapons. He has had a free hand for 4 years to reconstitute these weapons, allowing the world, during the interval, to lose the focus we had on weapons of mass destruction and the issue of proliferation." -- John Kerry, October 9, 2002
"(W)e need to disarm Saddam Hussein. He is a brutal, murderous dictator, leading an oppressive regime. We all know the litany of his offenses. He presents a particularly grievous threat because he is so consistently prone to miscalculation. ...And now he is miscalculating America’s response to his continued deceit and his consistent grasp for weapons of mass destruction. That is why the world, through the United Nations Security Council, has spoken with one voice, demanding that Iraq disclose its weapons programs and disarm. So the threat of Saddam Hussein with weapons of mass destruction is real, but it is not new. It has been with us since the end of the Persian Gulf War." -- John Kerry, Jan 23, 2003
"We begin with the common belief that Saddam Hussein is a tyrant and a threat to the peace and stability of the region. He has ignored the mandates of the United Nations and is building weapons of mass destruction and the means of delivering them." -- Carl Levin, Sept 19, 2002
"Every day Saddam remains in power with chemical weapons, biological weapons, and the development of nuclear weapons is a day of danger for the United States." -- Joe Lieberman, August, 2002
"Over the years, Iraq has worked to develop nuclear, chemical and biological weapons. During 1991 - 1994, despite Iraq's denials, U.N. inspectors discovered and dismantled a large network of nuclear facilities that Iraq was using to develop nuclear weapons. Various reports indicate that Iraq is still actively pursuing nuclear weapons capability. There is no reason to think otherwise. Beyond nuclear weapons, Iraq has actively pursued biological and chemical weapons.U.N. inspectors have said that Iraq's claims about biological weapons is neither credible nor verifiable. In 1986, Iraq used chemical weapons against Iran, and later, against its own Kurdish population. While weapons inspections have been successful in the past, there have been no inspections since the end of 1998. There can be no doubt that Iraq has continued to pursue its goal of obtaining weapons of mass destruction." -- Patty Murray, October 9, 2002
"As a member of the House Intelligence Committee, I am keenly aware that the proliferation of chemical and biological weapons is an issue of grave importance to all nations. Saddam Hussein has been engaged in the development of weapons of mass destruction technology which is a threat to countries in the region and he has made a mockery of the weapons inspection process." -- Nancy Pelosi, December 16, 1998
"Even today, Iraq is not nearly disarmed. Based on highly credible intelligence, UNSCOM [the U.N. weapons inspectors] suspects that Iraq still has biological agents like anthrax, botulinum toxin, and clostridium perfringens in sufficient quantity to fill several dozen bombs and ballistic missile warheads, as well as the means to continue manufacturing these deadly agents. Iraq probably retains several tons of the highly toxic VX substance, as well as sarin nerve gas and mustard gas. This agent is stored in artillery shells, bombs, and ballistic missile warheads. And Iraq retains significant dual-use industrial infrastructure that can be used to rapidly reconstitute large-scale chemical weapons production." -- Ex-Un Weapons Inspector Scott Ritter in 1998
"There is unmistakable evidence that Saddam Hussein is working aggressively to develop nuclear weapons and will likely have nuclear weapons within the next five years. And that may happen sooner if he can obtain access to enriched uranium from foreign sources -- something that is not that difficult in the current world. We also should remember we have always underestimated the progress Saddam has made in development of weapons of mass destruction." -- John Rockefeller, Oct 10, 2002
"Saddam’s existing biological and chemical weapons capabilities pose a very real threat to America, now. Saddam has used chemical weapons before, both against Iraq’s enemies and against his own people. He is working to develop delivery systems like missiles and unmanned aerial vehicles that could bring these deadly weapons against U.S. forces and U.S. facilities in the Middle East." -- John Rockefeller, Oct 10, 2002
"Whether one agrees or disagrees with the Administration’s policy towards Iraq, I don’t think there can be any question about Saddam’s conduct. He has systematically violated, over the course of the past 11 years, every significant UN resolution that has demanded that he disarm and destroy his chemical and biological weapons, and any nuclear capacity. This he has refused to do. He lies and cheats; he snubs the mandate and authority of international weapons inspectors; and he games the system to keep buying time against enforcement of the just and legitimate demands of the United Nations, the Security Council, the United States and our allies. Those are simply the facts." -- Henry Waxman, Oct 10, 2002
This is bizarre AF.

People across the aisle had suspicions about Iraq, based on Hussein's behavior.

"“If Haiti, a god awful thing to say, if Haiti just quietly sunk into the Caribbean or rose up 300 feet, it wouldn't matter a whole lot in terms of our interest,” Biden told Charlie Rose, then of PBS."
Biden... he cares. LOL
That's a quote taken seriously out of context, that it's from a right wing nut job magazine like the Examiner isn't surprising. Or that you fucknobs are peddling it.
Then Senator Biden was saying in comparison to Bosnia, where an ethnic cleansing was taking place, where nuclear weapons were in the region, that America's focus is there. He wae saying Haiti, which had just suffered a coup, was not of the same vital national interest as Bosnia for the reasons he reiterated in the same paragraph which was selectively truncated by the Examiner.Quote:
The distinction between Bosnia and Haiti, for example. If, if, if some of us are right on Bosnia, that this ethnic cleansing has the potential to rear its ugly head in Ukraine in, in, in, in Belarus in the former Soviet Union, where they have major arsenals of nuclear weapons, where they have long histories of national wars, where ethnicity dominates, that is of phenomenal potential consequence to the United States. If Haiti, a God awful thing to say, if Haiti just quietly sunk into the Caribbean or rose up 300 feet, it wouldn't matter a whole lot in terms of our interest.
Biden was right. In comparison, a genocide and a risk of nuclear weapon proliferation was a much higher priority to be resolved than Haiti attempting that moment.
Did I call it or what? Seran then has the audacity to call other people racist when he bends over backwards to defend, support, and vote for an old racist white man who says he doesn't give a shit if a nation of 11+ million mostly black people were to sink into the ocean.

Yeah that article is missing the reality that most illegal immigrants don't want abortions and in fact come to United States while pregnant with the hopes of giving birth on American soil and thus having a legal reason to argue against deportation due to birthright citizenship.
Correct me if I’m wrong, but I believe most people that do the anchor baby shit aren’t coming illegally, they actually come legally. I know they have agencies all across Asia and Eastern Europe specifically for this.
Edited: what the agencies do are illegal, but the people who come are coming on valid US visas.

"It's too soon to determine whether families can gather for Christmas; 90% vaccination rate might be needed: Live COVID updates"
You recall all those batshit insane people saying Trump was a Fascist?
Read above to see what real fascism is... Government telling you when you can and can't see your own family. Especially with vaccines and information readily available, as opposed to the initial "slow the spread" of "two weeks". Fuck that piece of shit asshole, and all the politicians that try to pull this shit. This fucker really does think he is untouchable, and really likes the power he's wielding.
People need to start pulling their heads out of their ass, and recognize what they're trying to do... create a meek and subservient citizenry for the political elite.
Can't believe that asshole even suggested that shit... I'm sure he'll be visiting with his family though. Jackass.
Jesus fucking Christ. Fauci needs to be put in a prison cell already. Enough is enough already.
He whipped everyone up into an hysterical frenzy, worried they were going to be killed if they went outside, then tells everyone he and only he can save them from the panic he caused. If he had just a bit more power he could be the next Hitler in the making.
Speaking of dipshit Fauci, here was his response when asked if illegal aliens could be driving infection numbers up:
How is it I have a better understanding of what's going on than the "top infectious disease expert" in the US? Either he is completely fucking dumb and doesn't know his job, or he's lying to you all. My guess: he's lying to you all because he is a pathological liar.Quote:
"No, absolutely not," he said. "If you just look at the data and look at the people who have gotten infected, look at the people who are in the hospital, look at the people who've died. This is not driven by immigrants."
Typically younger people illegally cross the border. Younger people typically don't get as sick from the China virus thus they wouldn't be showing up in great numbers at hospitals. However, a young and healthy person can get infected and they can pass that infection on to someone else.
So saying this dumb shit of "Of course not! Look at the people in the hospital and the people who are dying! They aren't illegal aliens!" means absolutely nothing because young and healthy people typically don't get sick and don't die, but they sure as shit can get infected and pass it on to others.
Seriously fuck this guy.
I didn't say illegal aliens are driving up infections, I merely pointed to how dumb Fauci's comments are.
But it stands to reason that if almost 60% of Americans are fully vaccinated and the virus is still spreading here then if people are pouring into our country from places with less than 1% vaccinated rate then they are of course spreading the virus. How much they are responsible for I don't know, but I do know that it's bullshit to say "DUHHHHH! They aren't the ones in the hospitals or dying so clearly they aren't spreading it very much! DUHHHHHH!"
1. Who can claim if unvaccinated or vaccinated are driving up infections... both can transmit it.
2. How can Fauci claim illegal immigrants are not driving up infections... if there is no data on the number of infected being dropped off all over the country.
3. The Politicians are abusing the living fuck out of this.
4. Fauci somehow still has his job, even after lying (his own e-mails that he tried to redact exposed him) about Covid/Gain of Function research and coordinating with other's involved in that research to downplay all information regarding it... and people still turn to him as a non-partisan authority which is fucking mind-boggling.
5. They're finally working on a pill apparently, but there has been very little drive or push from this Administration to fast-track/support development of modified vaccines to accommodate the viruses mutations... as they do for other viruses.
The political partisanship that has tainted this whole endeavor, will one day be recorded in the history books as one of the most egregious human fuckups ever in my opinion... that's if all information isn't managed by the Big Tech overlords and history rewritten.
How does this add up when you can spread it just as easily while vaccinated?
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TFtlK6fuVno
https://wset.com/news/coronavirus/ar...kthrough-cases
Now, if you hop on over to the Virginia Dept. of Health's breakthrough-cases dashboard, or "COVID-19 Cases by Vaccination Status," you'll see a stat that says:
“Unvaccinated people in the state developed COVID-19 at a rate of 7.4 times that of fully vaccinated people and 2.4 times that of partially vaccinated people.”
That is based on VDH data from January 17, 2021, through Sept. 18, 2021.
As an example.
Comparatively, you can look up any of your local regional hospitals and they should have published Covid stats. How many people in the hospital with Covid, ICU, on ventilator etc., as well as how many vaccinated vs unvaccinated. Around here it looks like 90%+ unvaccinated.
Down to go through the breakdown so can appreciate you actually posting some data.. which is a nice change. A perspective on your previous statement, and the data you presented.
1. Unvaccinated "developed" Covid-19 more easily.. that says nothing about transmission.
2. Unvaccinated numbers would be more prevalent, because they have more severe reactions to Covid as a general rule of thumb.. and therefore would look for therapeutics or care more readily.. again, that says nothing about transmission.
3. Titles are misleading... and you have to read all the way through, then actually extrapolate it into the real world and current situations... example:
https://www.nbcnews.com/health/healt...finds-n1280583
"Vaccinated people are less likely to spread Covid, new research finds"
"The new study showed that protection against transmission seemed to wane over time, however. After three months, people who had breakthrough infections after being vaccinated with AstraZeneca were just as likely to spread the delta variant as the unvaccinated. While protection against transmission decreased in people who had received the Pfizer vaccine, there was still a benefit when compared with people who were unvaccinated.
Since antibody levels also tend to decrease over time after vaccination, a reduction in protection against transmission is to be expected, Richterman said."
On it's face, the research seems proper and makes sense right? Until you read the excerpt that was shoved all the way down in the article... Now let me propose something...
The current vitriolic statements is just a mass hysteria of "THE UNVAXXED ARE ALL TO BLAME!!!"... but, just going from their own information, let's take a look at current trends...
https://www.statista.com/statistics/...ricans-by-day/
Infections by month since began tracking till now... take a look at it...
Cases spiked last winter... Vaccine comes out in mass in Spring... Cases go down through Summer... Cases spike in Fall... all while vaccination rates are going up...
Now based off their own data and statements: "The new study showed that protection against transmission seemed to wane over time, however. After three months, people who had breakthrough infections after being vaccinated with AstraZeneca were just as likely to spread the delta variant as the unvaccinated."
So.. with that graph... could a case not be made that cases declined as vaccine was administered... and as the vaccinated went out, it was effective at reducing transmission for the first 3-4 months... as the graph shows... then those vaccinated lost the benefit reducing transmission... BUT... were still going out thinking they were good to go... and because those vaccinated socialized a lot more, and had more asymptomatic infections (again their own data) due to being vaccinated...
That the vaccinated, unknowingly, are actually the ones driving the increase in Covid spread?
I'm not claiming to know... I'm just looking at the data and their statements... then applying it to the tracker and social behaviors that have occurred during that timeframe.
Of course cases resulting in more Covid illness would be more prevalent in the unvaccinated, that doesn't address the blame for transmission though... as everyone likes to just yell... "It's all the unvaxxed's fault!!!!"... Just saying... can't a case be made?
What I typed above, is why for awhile now on here I've mentioned my dismay and anger about the polarization over this issue...
The scientific community should be full steam ahead on, and getting the same support Trump gave them for the initial development, to continue to improve the current vaccine... just like they do for others on a seasonal/mutating basis.
Thankfully one company is proposing a therapeutic pill development, so /fingers crossed that it has some efficacy and is another tool for Doctors.
You’re making it a little more complicated than it needs to be. I’ll give you two points on why vaccinated people don’t spread it as badly as unvaccinated.
1. Vaccinated people are contagious for a shorter period of time, which also means less possibility of transmitting it.
2. Vaccinated people are likely to have less infectious virus overall, which also lessens the possibility of transmissions
This article sums it up nicely.
Among the unvaccinated, the virus travels unhindered on a highway with multiple off-ramps and refueling stations. In the vaccinated, it gets lost in a maze of dead-end streets and cul-de-sacs. Every so often, it pieces together an escape route, but in most scenarios, it finds itself cut off, and its journey ends. It can go no further.
https://www.govexec.com/management/2...people/185562/
So yeah, the unvaccinated are the main reason why infections are up.
Another great example from the article:
To highlight what this means in the real world, imagine two weddings with 100 guests, one where everyone is unvaccinated and another where all the guests are vaccinated.
In the unvaccinated wedding group, the likelihood that at least one of the guests has COVID-19 is high. Similarly, everyone present is more susceptible, and the virus will likely infect many others, given the increased transmissibility of the Delta variant.
At the wedding with exclusively vaccinated attendees, however, the likelihood that anyone present has COVID-19 is minuscule. Even if someone present is infected, the likelihood that the other guests will contract the virus is similarly low, given the protection afforded by their shots.
Good points, but still think you're just looking at the first layer... as opposed to secondary conditions.
1. This article was originally published in The Atlantic.
Refer to my other post earlier today about who funds The Atlantic.
2. The article you linked... every study he cites, refutes what he's claiming... but he makes his claims based off of his logic.
I linked the actual study, that was published just 2 days ago.. that shows.. "just as likely to spread the delta variant as the unvaccinated."
3. This is where the sticking point I think we have is... as I'm looking at the human condition and activity...
Do you think it's more likely for 20,000 unvaccinated to get together... or for 20,000 vaccinated to get together?
You watching sports right now? You think there are more vaccinated or unvaccinated attending them?
You think the vaccinated are having more parties, get togethers, social gatherings... or are the unvaccinated?
The point is... the research shows that transmission efficacy wanes after 3-4 months. The graphs show that trend to be consistent from initial vaccinations (reduction in transmission for 3-4 months) and current timeframe... all while social interaction is increasing that cases increased.
It's easy, as a political tool, to just say "the unvaxxed are to blame!"... these are the same politicians who last summer said all the riots and demonstrations didn't contribute to the spread of Covid... because apparently Covid recognizes political sides.
I would propose that the unvaccinated are much more cognizant of their surroundings and avoiding large gatherings as a general rule of thumb. That just sort of goes with human nature and self-preservation.
I would also propose if you've been vaccinated, or have natural immunity, then you would much more easily be in large crowds thus increasing probability for increased spread.
Just saying... it's not easy to fully examine an issue... and the Politicians and pundits are hoping people don't.
Note: And please understand... this is not about placing "blame" on either side. This is about ensuring the data, and the way it's presented by the pundits and Politicians is accurate vs. used as a bludgeon to fuck over peoples individual rights... and in my opinion the demonization (and easy statement) of "the unvaccinated!!!" is designed to do that.
The ideal..as with all viruses..is it doesn't matter if someone has it or not, as the vaccine, natural immunity, or therapeutics reduce the mortality rate of it to the point that it isn't used to destroy peoples ability to live.
It's like any other virus or disease humans have ever encountered.
The Politicians just found something to really seize some power...and fear is a good tool for that.
What's your theory about these numbers?

FDA banning Nac because its ultra cheap and helps with fighting Covid. FDA is clearly run by big Pharma
Both reports show exactly what Solkern wrote about;
that areas with lower vaccination rates are more likely to engage in activities where transmission and super spreader events may result,
and that new covid-19 infections are 3 times more common in the unvaccinated than they are among the vaccinated. Not to mention the unvaccinated are several times more likely to have severe infections needing hospitalization.
None of the studies cited by the article writer in any way refutes the conclusions of the author. Moreover, I don't even see how you could make that claim if you bothered to read them.
Both science and statistics now support the need for vaccination mandates. Those who claim they would have gotten vaccinated had the government not required it are full of shit. If that were true, they'd have been vaccinated within the last eight months.
FDA issued guidance back in 2010 that NAC isn't an authorized supplement. That they continue to crack down on retailers selling it isn't anything new. That healthfood and supplement peddlers are pushing an unproven drug as a covid-19 therapeutic is also nothing new.
Here's another Trump Agreement from 2020 that hasn't panned out. Wonder how ping before the Right begins to blame President Biden for ruining Trump's "perfect" and "best trade deal ever negotiated".

US urges China to fully honour trade pact signed with Trump
China had agreed to buy $200bn more of US goods and services than it did in 2017 — before the start of the trade war — over a two-year period until the end of 2021. But according to the Peterson Institute for International Economics, it has made only 62 per cent of the expected purchases on a prorated basis.
3.5 trillion dollars = 0
0 = 3.5 trillion dollars.
and 2+2=5

Except guess what, they were out of compliance the moment the agreement was made. And don't cry to me about Covid-19, we mainly export food to China and last I checked their people didn't stop eating. No, this was another scatter brained deal from the guy who made someone else write a book about deal making.
I thought the argument was that the Chinese were no longer importing food was why we had to bail out the farmers?

Let me see if I understand your latest brain failure correctly: Trump, who is no longer president and has absolutely no power to enforce trade agreements, is to blame for Biden, who does have the power to enforce trade agreements, not making sure China lives up to their trade agreements?
Trump, who then was President waived tariffs against China after making the American people suffer due to his economic hissy fit caused a trade war. Trump proceeded to negotiate an agreement in bad faith, which was never honored when Trump was President. Now unsurprisingly, it's not being honored now either. So Biden, a true leader has to clean up after the McDonald's President yet again.
