J6 was the distraction; the real coup was the fake electors.

MAGAts are so desperate to normalize this shitshow.

While I agree that the Dems obsession with identity politics is toxic, it has been around far longer than Occupy Wall Street.

Only if you promise to quit sniveling.

MAGAts are such snowflakes.

I read the article and it says nothing about McGonigal investigating Trumpy.

From the article: "Among those who cast mail-in ballots, nearly equal percentages of Democrats, Republicans, and unaffiliated voters admitted to fraudulent activities."

I wish the Dems would.

No, of course not. Rudy in jail for a year would be OK.

Yeah, I agree, nobody is voting for Biden. Everybody is voting against Trumpy and MAGAts.

First Doug Jones, now Rudy G Thatta boy. Just keep repeating that the steal is underway. Lotsa evidence that the big lie discourages voter turnout b/c MAGAts think the voting is rigged. And while you're at it, discourage voting by mail. Trumpy might have won in 2020 except for all those MAGAts voting by mail in very low #s.

Guess I'm in the 1% on this board who's doing better financially. So sorry for you, MAGAts.

As stated before, TDS stands for Trans Derangement Syndrome. Trumpy is a sideshow.

What's a CBF? Certified Board Fattie?

"This is why I hate drunk people, dude." Awesome. Thanks.

Gonna keep my occupation private for now. And yes, some (most?) bills have increased, but not nearly as much as my income.

More money per hour. I've even dialed back my total number of hours, and I'm still on track for my best year ever.

I'm so sorry you MAGAts are having a horrible time economically. Personally, I'm earning far more money these days, and easily outpacing inflation.

Not doubting the 60,000, but holy fock that's a huge range for an academic paper. I mean, it sounds like he just threw in the kitchen sink of various metrics. For it to be 2.5 million, each and every person on this board should know someone who had to use a gun last year in defense.

I have completely derailed this thread. My apologies.

Yeah, fully agree. I mean. there might be a good reason, but sounds like bureaucratic overreach to me.

Looks like you failed remedial reading. CBS News report, since I can't get the DoE report to open. "A new classified report by the U.S. Energy Department has concluded with "low confidence" that it is plausible the COVID-19 pandemic originated from a laboratory leak, two sources familiar with the U.S. government's pandemic origins investigation tell CBS News. It was not clear if the "low confidence" assessment by the Department of Energy reflected weak data or the quantity of information, but it has nevertheless rekindled an ongoing debate that continues to roil the political, scientific and intelligence communities."

- Cochrane looks legit as an info source. Thanks for that. I thought masks had been proven to work in studies. - I thought it was pushed in the workplace to reduce the possibility of lawsuits from workers who could claim they were exposed to COVID on the job. - Pretty sure we're in agreement on tipping points. -" In addition, in his 2006 global warming documentary "An Inconvenient Truth," Gore predicted that the global sea level could rise as much as 20 feet "in the near future." " So, not 2020, but still irresponsible. Regardless, I still haven't seen any credible studies that pushed this idea. There are, however, credible sources that predict more than "a few inches over 100 years". NOAA On the plus side, at least you guys have transitioned away from climate change denial, and aren't even seriously contesting greenhouse gases as the driving cause of global warming. - I really haven't followed the laptop story, much like I barely followed Benghazi, because it amounts to a big SO WHAT? if true. - So I read your linked article on lab origin, and it's not conclusive. Seems very possible though. NY Post, which is not a liberal rag "Wray’s comments were aired two days after it was reported the Department of Energy determined with “low confidence” that the virus that causes COVID-19 came from a Chinese laboratory. The Wall Street Journal’s Sunday report had also revealed that the FBI concluded with “moderate confidence” that a lab accident in China was the origin of the disease."
