I see you continue with the childish Maga nick names... real mature there.
But the fact you use them sums up how invalid most of the stuff you post.

[Dauphin]

Don't know about Trump, but Gateway Pundit used that exact phrase.

[Berzerker]

The exact phrase is 2 words based on Typhoid Mary. Maybe they got it from me, I sure didn't get it from them or MAGA and I still haven't seen it used. But since I dont frequent MAGA sites I wouldn't know what they're calling Fauci. I do find it amusing Democrats are upset by insults after spending years smearing people as traitors.

[Ming]

Maga has used that term, and they got it from Trump and not you.
But the real issue is that you think it's cool to use those childish nick names in the first place.
It doesn't add any credibility to your posts... it just takes it away.
We all await your next use of some Maga childish nick name.

Stop the press. Special Counsel report into Joe Biden's document case says he comes across to many as an elderly man with a poor memory.

[Berzerker]

I listened to a good chunk of the SCOTUS arguments about Trump's ballot access in Colorado. It doesn't look good for the state, even the Democrat appointed judges were skeptical. Might be a 9-0 vote

Main argument was over whether or not the prez is an officer because he holds an office and therefore included on the 14th Amendment's list of disqualifications as an insurrectionist. They didn't debate as much the matter of due process and if people can be barred from the office without a trial and conviction for insurrection.

[-Jrabbit]

This is pure theater -- right down to the timing of the Biden document (complete with personal insults regarding his memory) from the Trump-appointed special counsel.

It's been pretty clear from the start that SCOTUS was never going to support keeping Trump off the ballot.

Biden said Israel's war on Gaza is over the top

Pfizer had a SB ad showing themselves in the company of various scientists thru time all to the voice of Freddie Mercury singing "Dont Stop Me Now"

a line from the song is 'traveling at the speed of light' as Freddie describes his unstoppable momentum. Speed of light sound familiar? When Pfizer had to testify before a European body they were asked why they didn't test their vaccine for transmission and their rep said they were moving at the speed of science. The media and politicians they bribed told us the vaccine did prevent transmission. That lie got people killed, the vaccinated became infected anyway and spread it to the people being blamed - the unvaccinated.

Didn't Pfizer get in trouble a while back for knowingly sending a batch of medicine tainted with HIV to Africa? Eh, maybe not. That would be evil.

Berz, social distancing appears to have failed to significantly save lives. Do you disagree? If social distancing didn't work and the vaccine also didn't slow the transmission then how did the lies get anybody killed?

For the record, the real lie appears to be the one that the vaccines didn't drastically slow transmission rates and shorten hospitalizations. That lie probably actually did get hundreds of thousands killed by convincing them to not get vaccinated.

[Berzerker]

Do you have a link about social distancing? I haven't looked at studies on that specific subject. The lie was the vaccine prevented transmission. Pfizer claimed they didn't test the vaccine for transmission (Thats another lie, ofc they did). But instead 'the establishment' running the country told us the vaccine prevented transmission. As a result of that lie people got vaccinated, got infected, and spread covid to others, including the unvaccinated people being blamed for the pandemic. It became obvious in the summer of '21 when lockdown restrictions were being lifted for the vaccinated in various parts of the world followed by covid spikes.

From your article:

“but not so much against transmission.”

Feb '22... We knew that months earlier but when did Pfizer and their propagandists know?

"A subsequent study,4 conducted later in the course of the pandemic when the delta variant was dominant, showed vaccines had a less pronounced effect on denting onward transmission, but were still effective."

Thats when I got the shots, I was told I wouldn't get covid much less spread it. I wasn't worried so much for myself as giving it to others. I wouldn't have gotten the vax if not for the lies and panic 4 profit created by Wall St.

FACT The Vaccine saved lives

[Berzerker]

Didn't save the people who died after getting infected from vaccinated people

[Ming]

People got infected from both those vaccinated and those that weren't. That's a fact.
The vaccination saved lives. FACT

So what's your point again?

[Berzerker]

You dont know that

[pchang]

Actually all of us who knows how pathogens work know that. You on the other hand have no idea how any of that works.

214-213 House GOP impeaches Mayorkas over border policy

Biden's in charge, why bother with somebody following orders?

This hurts the GOP, it looks petty and illogical

[Dauphin]

Bit odd that a vote for impeachment fails, and you can just revote the next week for the same reasons. Most other systems I know make you 'safe' from such actions for a limited period of time.

[Berzerker]

I didn't know they had to vote twice to get the desired result... Kinda at odds with the notion of double jeopardy.

Weiss indicted Smirnov for making a false statement about Joe Biden's corruption in Ukraine. Not sure yet what he said but it might be related to his claim Joe and Hunter got $5-$10m, possibly for getting rid of Shokin. I think Weiss is the Delaware guy in charge of Hunter's gun & tax problems, whatever deal he made with Hunter's lawyers blew up in his face when the judge noticed Weiss was granting Hunter potential immunity from future charges.

Whistleblowers beware, dot the i's and cross them t's...

[Berzerker]

"Gratuitous"

Thats the establishment buzzword because the DoJ guy in charge of Biden's documents issue said they wont prosecute because the jury will see Joe as an old forgetful man. Crazy, Biden wont be charged and Democrats are mad anyway. Maybe the outrage is BS because they cant embrace the dismissal of charges while pushing for Trump's prosecution.
