Re: Coronavirus COVID-19
Remember when COVID-19 denialists were saying it was nothing compared to the seasonal flu that kills like 60,000 people per year (the 60,000 per year was an over estimate)? Then remember when there was a meme going around talking about how an estimated 100,000 died from the Hong Kong flu in the Unit...

Re: 2020 General Election
I don't think they overstepped their bounds. The PA legislature passed a sweeping voting overhaul in 2019. Read more here: https://www.governor.pa.gov/newsroom/governor-wolf-signs-election-reform-bill-including-new-mail-in-voting/ It allowed voters to submit a ballot until 8:00 pm on election day. ...

Re: 2020 General Election
I always voted Republican in national elections because I tried to pick what I viewed as the lessor of two evils and did not want to waste my vote by voting for someone not from the two major parties. Now I vote Democrat for the same reason. After what's gone on since the Republican Party decided t...

Re: The New (Domestic) War on Terror
I'm wondering if anybody is still buying the idea that January 6 was a "false flag" operation: https://www.adn.com/nation-world/2021/01/30/fbi-probe-of-us-capitol-riot-finds-evidence-detailing-coordination-of-an-assault/ What happened on January 6 was Trump supporters led by Trump supporte...

Re: 2020 General Election
It's real easy to say you're done with a major party until you figure out the only other options are going to the other major party or for third parties that cant top 5% of the popular vote. I always voted Republican in national elections because I tried to pick what I viewed as the lessor of two e...

Re: 2020 General Election
BTW, speaking as a person who voted consistently for Republican candidates for my first 40 years as an eligible voter, I will say that the way the Republican Party has acted with respect to this election has just about eliminated any fraction of the already minuscule likelihood that I will ever vote...

Re: 2020 General Election
Wasn’t Team Trump attempting to have select states thrown out or have new elections? Don't believe he was looking to have any states thrown out. He was looking to have certain votes thrown out, and for reasons such as you guys are talking about. Rule changes made outside the normal process, such as...

Lowest aggregate approval rating in history by 4 points. https://news.gallup.com/poll/328637/last-trump-job-approval-average-record-low.aspx Shocker!

Ok I'll go ahead and do it this time: A partial list of Trump's long list of accomplishments. Domestic 1. Judicial appointments (3 SCOTUS judges + NUMEROUS Circuit). That's an accomplishment?

A picture, as the cliche goes, is worth 1,000 words:

Worst President Ever
At least to this point. That's my prediction on how historians will rank Donald Trump both in the near future and 100 years from now through the lens of elapsed time. If there was any doubt about that it was erased by what happened over the past few months. History will report that there was not an ...

First let me say that when I said a picture of John Sullivan at the Capitol assault wasn't John Sullivan, I was wrong. As far as I can tell I saw a picture of another Black guy dressed similarly on TV. Having said that, over the past few days I saw Facebook posts from people saying that a Black Live...

Re: The Republican Base
The scales have fallen from my eyes over the past 5 years.

Now Trump can, for the first time, say he really accomplished something unprecedented: He has been impeached twice. Also, I heard it reported today that having 10 members of his own Party vote in the House to impeach him was having more members of a President's own Party vote to impeach him ever. An...
