Well, in addition to the concept that the vax presents a risk to pregnant women low enough to be equivalent to zero, being unvaccinated presents a huge risk to pregnant women and their fetuses. Pregnancy changes the mother's immune system. It has to in order to prevent it from attacking the 'foreign object' in the womb. That leaves the mother more vulnerable to a severe case of Covid. https://www.hopkinsmedicine.org/health/conditions-and-diseases/coronavirus/coronavirus-and-covid-19-what-pregnant-women-need-to-know And the effects of severe cases of Covid on pregnant women have been shown to sometimes be catastrophic. There are anecdotal reports of severe blood clotting resulting in multiple limb amputation, internal organ failure (kidneys & heart were near the top of the list), and, of course, permanent and severe lung damage. Fetal deaths were quite common. https://newsroom.uw.edu/news-releases/pregnant-women-covid-19-face-high-mortality-rate

'Cuz Trumpty Dumpty's gonna put Elmo in charge. The big difference is that he's likely to do to the US economy what he did to Xitter. And so many who supported Donnie von Schitzenpants complained about how bad the economy was.

Seriously? Try looking in a mirror. You recently posted that you think Covid was 'just the sniffles'. And that MRNA vaccines are fake. And that issues presented by homeless people are from illegal immigration.

That's a really good question. On the one hand, Trump has pardoned a LOT of people who committed crimes for him. He did it for people who were still able to help him. OTOH, he seems for forget a lot. People who helped him, who are no longer of any use, are tossed aside... Like garbage. We'll just have to wait and see which group the insurrectionists fall into.

You seem to forget the trade war Trumpty Dumpty started with China... And lost. He jacked tariffs on Chinese goods. They retaliated by increasing tariffs on US commodities. The US soybean market tanked. Completely. It took BILLIONS in bailouts to keep the farmers from going bankrupt. He wants to start another trade war, this time with the WHOLE WORLD. I don't expect it to go any better than the last one.

How about an insanity defense for a defamation case. Smartmatic is still pending.

Hi Jerry, I grew up in Appleton. Currently a few miles down the road. Appleton, birthplace of the Birch Society, home to Joe McCarthy. There's a life size bronze bust of him, currently in the county museum. It sat in the courthouse most of my younger life.

The list of "Trump is so dumb he thinks..." would crash the servers.

I agree. Some of the stats coming in about early voting seem to support Harris over Trump. Obviously, we won't know the actual results until the votes are counted, but the demographics are fairly heavily slanted. Also, even though the polls are close, I keep remembering the primaries. The polls kept indicating Trump would have a 'landslide' victory, but Haley kept getting much higher vote totals than the polls suggested she would.

The possibilities are endless. Considering the musical guest is Chappell Roan, it's not entirely out of the question for it to happen then.

I've been saying that for quite a while.

$15B. They're going to roast him pretty well. The things they can do with a garbage truck and a microphone are... Extensive.

While that's potentially true with mail in, the in person early voting that I did (on Monday) worked the very similar to 'election day' voting. I was given a ballot and an envelope. I took the ballot to a 'voting cubicle', filled it out, folded it up (as instructed) sealed the envelope and dropped it in a box. No opportunity for anyone to have any direct influence on it, at least not without the staff noticing.

Seen on FB - 'If you were going to choose a metaphor for the Republican party in 2024, a garbage truck chauffeuring a rich guy, traveling around in circles going nowhere, all for a photo op is pretty spot on.'

To each their own. But I prefer to see the entire conversation. I skim the lengthy diatribes from the serious trolls. I don't need to have someone on an ignore list on order to ignore the.. I just don't need to respond to hatred and ignorance.
