Latest Coronavirus - Yikes

Worst city for covid mortality. Not saying Boston is the worst under normal circumstances or in this circumstance.

Just because it's bad in Boston doesnt mean Nashville has to continue cower in fear.

Heh. I get it. If I lived far away, I'd probably be like "pfffft... stupid liberal babies up North."

Until when and if we develop a vaccine, this is very real. I suspect it'll pipe down until the Fall, then come back mutated.
 
I provide context that you are congenitally adverse to, and probably ignorant of.

You don't have the patience to have one of your "f-ups" to be demonstrated as a false narrative, but now you've the stomach to have them all rebutted? Funny guy.
Thanks for the assist. I didn’t feel like looking all that crap up for PT. As usual, he’s just cherry picking lines out of context to fit his narrative.

Great, then we can all go out and party until football starts up then. So what makes you think it'll come back in the fall, the CNN or MSNBC prophecies? Or maybe your gut feeling like you had for the stock market?

I didn't say anything about "liberal". Didnt call you babies, either.

While pockets of the US need to be hyper vigilant, the rest of us need to return to business. The answer doesnt have to be one or the other. It can be both.
 
And you have assigned a lot of guilt at Amash. What has he said that made you feel this particular way towards him? What made you think it was him going after Trump and not following process? Like I said I havent read up on the matter, maybe something is there that Amash was being political. I havent seen it, and you havent supported it as part of your argument.

And think this goes back to Rockys point of Amash actually voting against the renewal of the FISA. Sounds like he did realize there was oversteps and did what he could as a legislature. I have no clue what the timing of this is. Maybe your right and he has it backwards, but I havent seen you support that with dates.

Amash wasn't opposing renewal of FISA per se, but opposing renewal of Section 702 unless amended. 702 allows collecting data of foreigners outside the U.S in contact with Americans in the U.S., without a warrant. Though data is collected end-end, it cannot be used to target Americans. The Amash-Lofgren amendment proposed that a warrant be required, except in urgent situations. But such communications between Russian actors and Trump campaign, for example, would not require exercise of 702 since FBI and NSA can do that under the original FISA statute. Nor does concern for how Trump and team were abused appear to be part of Amash's rationale.

Amash went on a 20-tweet twitter in May last year, laying out a case that Trump should be impeached following the Mueller report. He essentially called Barr a liar and Trump lackey, uninterested in constitutional rule of law. His Ukraine impeachment vote was merely a continuation.

He got nothing right about the Mueller probe re: obstruction of justice, and certainly not impeachment which I think Mueller intended. I see nothing to indicate he has acknowledged the agencies' corruption, acknowledged the wrong done to Trump, Pappadopoulos, Page, or Flynn, or apologized to Barr.

I don't see how Amash is such an opponent of federal abuse of power while not acknowledging THIS abuse, and even incriminating those abused by it.

I think you meant to reply to me.

Great; it's what I like about libertarians and used to like about Amash. But when faced with a practical case of a presidential campaign, then sitting president and WH officials being a target of bureaucratic abuse of power - or at absolute best, dupes of Russian propaganda - Amash is flaccid. Talks the X & Os like a winner but stays in the locker room on gameday.

Two or your articles are from 2018 and the other form 2019. Now that we've seen FBI, DOJ and intel go after a president, even when they knew they had nothing before Mueller's appointment, and ruined others maliciously with no purpose other than to get Trump, where's Amash? This is his opening, the most spectacular abuse and corruption in our lifetime. How does he avoid driving the point home - "If they can do this to a president, a career military veteran, ruining Carter Page and Pappadopouos, etc, what can they do to you and I?" - while allegedly opposing FISA?

It's reasonable to think Amash values opposition to Trump more than the values he professes.
It’s more reasonable to think that he just hasn’t partaken of the administration’s kool-aid to the degree that you have.

In fact, Trump pushing FISA expansion is a great example of why Amash’s values warrant opposition to Trump. So your conclusion is not really very reasonable at all. As a legislator, he’s done everything he can to prevent it from being misused.

You expect even more than that from Amash, but won’t hold Trump accountable for pushing for FISA renewal. You clearly don’t care about the issue except to the extent you can use it to absolve Trump or abuse his critics. Which is why I didn’t mean to reply to you.
 
But if it became the dominant strain in mid-march then wouldn't our numbers coincide? If it is that much worse the infection and death rates would likely track

Yes - but significant in understanding differences between Washington (largely all direct from China), California (a lot of China/Washington, some NY), and the NE (largely all NY/Euro).
 
WALSH: LGBT Activists Rallied To Shut Down A Christian Field Hospital. This Is What The ‘Gay Rights’ Movement Has Become.

Samaritan’s Purse, a charitable Christian organization, has been essentially run out of New York City after opening a volunteer field hospital to help care for COVID-19 patients.

Their operation in the city was coming to an end soon in any case, as the outbreak is increasingly brought under control, but local media reports that “controversy over the group’s religious views” contributed to the decision to shut it down earlier than expected. To be clear, the “controversy” is that Samaritan’s Purse is Christian, and radical LGBT activists hate Christians. It really is that simple.

It should go without saying that Samaritan’s Purse never discriminated against any patients. It volunteered to serve and help anyone, no matter their sexual orientation, and that’s exactly what it did. But extremist gay groups like Reclaim Pride Coalition rallied to have the volunteers chased out of town, and are now celebrating the closing of a field hospital as a “victory of the LGBT community and other oppressed groups.” A member of the coalition castigated New York City for “bringing a huge, dangerous bigot into our midst,” which is perhaps an overly hostile way to describe a field hospital.

But “overly hostile” is the name of the game where these particular LGBT activists are concerned. A video posted by Reclaim Pride a few days ago features drag queen Marti Cummings ranting that Samaritan’s Purse is a “bigoted, anti-Muslim, anti-LGBTQ institution” that has “instilled bigoted beliefs into the world” (whatever that means). Now, there is no doubt that a man who provides the essential service of dancing in women’s clothes is in a good position to criticize volunteer healthcare workers. Even so, I have to wonder why Cummings, if he cares so much for LGBTQ people and Muslims, is calling for the banishment of an organization that serves LGBTQ people and Muslims. By the way, I’d like to know if Cummings has ever spoken out against any Muslim group for their “bigoted” views about the LGBT community. If it was a Muslim charitable organization serving the sick in New York, would Cummings be making these same criticisms, or would he be attacking anyone who says exactly what he is saying about Samaritan’s Purse?

Heh. Listening to guys like Dr. Fauci and reading up on the Spanish flu of 1918-19. And stock market... I've been right thus far.

Truth is nobody knows for sure where this pandemic will lead, but in the history of mankind, the fastest we've developed a vaccine is 4 years.

It's not like idiot Trump blather... that CV19 will just miraculously disappear. Poppycock. It'll come and go and we can't control it.
