The Real timschochet

They didn’t censor speech about COVID due to political pressure, they censured it due public health pressure. As they should have. The Biden Administration acted correctly. Not out of political pressure or spite but to save lives. It’s OK to censure speech when lives are at stake. The Kimmel situation was totally different and completely unjustified. And it failed. You lost.

Sorry no. And you guys looks both petty and foolish making this argument tonight. It’s over. You lost. Trump lost and is whining about it (not unusual.) The public is solidly behind Kimmel.

I don’t think he means it.

I enjoy Keith Olbermann’s podcast and I don’t believe he meant any violence in his remarks about Jennings.

Well said except for the last sentence: he isn’t acting

I did. That was incorrect. But it should not be taken during pregnancy without a doctor’s supervision. No medicine should. Which is the main point. The even larger point is that Tylenol is the only safe effective medication for pregnant women who have fevers or severe back pain, which is a whole lot of pregnant women. Aspirin at low dosages is not effective and at high dosages it’s dangerous, and ibuprofen is dangerous. Which is why what Trump and RFK have done is so wrong and dangerous.

You wrote “without doctor supervision”.

But pregnant women shouldn’t take it unless it’s prescribed. That’s in the link you already provided.

Without? Does the word “prescribed” have a different meaning in your universe?

Really? Then why does it have to be prescribed by a doctor? Why only in low dosages? And how effective do you think low dosages of aspirin is going to be treating fevers and severe back pain?

Wow. Embarrassing that you and Brahma revert to this. Really sad. My wife and I were not obese during the pregnancy years. Like so many others we have struggled with these issues since. Joking about other peoples’ weight and sobriety issues always says more about the person making the comment than the target. And nothing good.

Yeah you failed to add the rest of it which says that aspirin during pregnancy is NOT safe for most women and should only be prescribed by your doctor, in low dosages, and isn’t effective for treating fevers and back pain. But congrats on your selective reading.

Why don’t you? Look it up and then look up the word “preeclampsia”. What is it with these morons this morning?

This is becoming hilarious. Extremely rare? One third of all pregnant women have fevers during the 9 months. 80% suffer from pretty severe back pain. My wife had both both times. Perhaps yours did too and you were simply unaware? I’ve no idea how you or anyone can be this ignorant.

Are you related to Hardcore? Is it some kind of genetic thing?

Why don’t you look it up yourself? Just type “ibuprofen and pregnancy”. It will take you a second or less. Read up on it and get back to us.

Seems to be a rarity here.

You deserve to be lectured. Not by me but by anyone reading this. Your questions are insipid. Your comments are worse. No I don’t believe a man can get pregnant. You know how I know this? Because if a man could get pregnant abortion would be legal in every state. It wouldn’t even be an issue. And don’t change the subject. Just admit your ignorance and move on.

You’re really doubling down on the idiocy this morning. The answer is no. Not safely.

Almost nobody here is a medical expert. But some of us read medical experts, and other science experts, and generally trust them and follow their advice. Others don’t, choosing to trust their emotions and preheld beliefs instead.

It started long before COVID. And their rejection of the experts during COVID cost thousands of lives.

You obviously know nothing about pregnancy and nothing about this issue. Tylenol during pregnancy is considered the safest and sometimes the ONLY medication for treating fevers and pain, which if untreated could seriously harm od even be fatal to the pregnancy. Next time ask an ob-gyn before you ask these moronic questions. (Though anyone who has gone through a difficult pregnancy could have told you this.)

It’s difficult to be dumber than Hardcore for sure. But so many people here are anti-science. Whether it’s this issue or climate change or transgenders, they reject the consensus of experts who have spent their whole professional lives studying this stuff because the results don’t match their pre-conceived notions. Ira appalling.

No necessarily. I have both close friends and family members who teach autistic children (special ed.) They are absolutely convinced that the actual number of these children in our society has not increased; we’re just simply better at diagnosis.

Victory for free speech. Big loss for MAGA and Trump.
