I admit that I somewhat begrudgingly voted for Biden. I mean, I was going to vote for ANY Democrat over Trump, but Biden wasn't my first choice. It's become obvious to me, however, that Biden was the perfect man for the job. I'm so proud to call him my president.
Holy shit, I just watched last night's episode of Last Week Tonight, and John Oliver has out done himself yet again. Hopefully Congress does something about data brokers and data privacy now that they might be exposed. John Oliver is a fucking treasure.

I understand what you're saying, but at the same time, being able to criticize Biden when we don't agree with him is one of the many things that separate us from the MAGA cult.

He's not mocking the risks of fentanyl. He's mocking the often outrageous claims that law enforcement officers and the media have been pushing about fentanyl. He educates followers using facts and statistics as well as sarcasm and satire. As a former addict, I appreciate him.

That convoy is a ripe target for bombing. Hopefully some of those jets that some of the EU nations are giving Ukraine can put one hell of a dent in that 40 mile long convoy.

I was surprised to learn that 70% of children infected with polio were completely asymptomatic and less than 1% developed paralysis. Yet people lined up for the polio vaccine. People were more accepting of science and medicine at that time, it seems.

Sure there is. Telling the truth about Trump's stunning mendacity or how he lost the 2020 election are both something Republicans aren't willing to tolerate. See Liz Cheney. Oh, wait, you said crime. Then no.

"But this Facebook 'doctor' said the vaccines were poison and people who take it will be dead in 3 years." I have very little patience with anti-vaxxers. I've got some in my extended family. It's incredibly frustrating. They're always the ones who need the vaccine the most, too.

I believe Trump is about to be indicted in Georgia for his "perfect" phone call with Raffensperger. It'll be the first, but not his last, indictment. 2023 will be the year of consequences for Trump et al. A year for justice.

Heh, he may be fighting against Trump but he's still a republican. He and Cheney refused to vote for either voting rights bills. They're on the right side of history when it comes to Trump, but they aren't our friends.

Once again: DNA is stored in a cell's nucleus, while mRNA is handled by the cell's ribosome. The mRNA vaccines can't enter the nucleus, and thus cannot affect DNA. I know most everyone here is likely already aware of this, but hearing that vaccines are changing DNA is tiring.

Respectfully, these are thermobaric weapons. They're designed for buildings, bunkers, any enclosed space. Upon detonation, they literally suck all the available oxygen into the explosion. As per Reuters, the only thing worse than thermobaric weapons are nuclear weapons.

Just got into an argument with my mom's boyfriend because he said while Trump was in office, he shut down everything Putin wanted to do. What kind of industrial-strength delusion is that? We both just agreed to not talk about it. There's no reasoning with these kinda people.

I thought it was said that the US *could* have a right-wing authoritarian in power in 2030? Which is a possibility if we are not diligent and don't vote. I'm all about ignoring doomsday rhetoric, but I also think it's important to know the consequences of not fighting.

In the history of vaccines, there has never been a serious side effect develop after 8 weeks, so no need to worry there. People have only lost faith because of lying grifters spewing nonsense about the safety of mRNA vaccines, which are incredibly safe and effective.

There isn't an increase in heart issues for people who received the vaccine, it's people who caught Covid. Heart attacks have increased something like 8-10%. However, they peaked in January 2021 before vaccines were available and have been slowly decreasing since.
@Ohemgeeitsalys1
It's because of tribalism, IMHO. MAGAs can't allow a liberal idea to come to fruition, no matter how many people it may help, because that would mean the "other team" gets a win. To them it's a zero-sum game, so a liberal win is a conservative loss. It's maddeningly ridiculous.
@Angry_Staffer
We also did forced inoculations. They were rare, but in areas of an outbreak, police sometimes held people down as doctors gave them a vaccine. I'm just saying there's a precident for it!
I've seen it said ad nauseam, but I'm so glad Biden is our President during this. Could you imagine Trump meandering his way through a speech, grotesquely groping his way around a point?

Hell, according to Gallup, about 1 in 5 Republicans consider themselves pro-choice, and 2 out of 3 think abortion should be legal under certain circumstances. These no-exception christofascists are the minority any way you cut it.
I still wear a mask in public, partly because I don't want to catch Covid or, even worse, inadvertently give someone else Covid, but mostly because I don't want people to think I'm a Republican.
@BadVaccineTakes
DNA is kept in a cell's nucleus, while mRNA is handled by a cell's ribosome. The mRNA can't enter the nucleus, so the Covid vaccines cannot alter one's DNA. Not that this will deter moronic anti-vaxxers...
