I knew it from the beginning, (and I should have qualified as "everybody with at least one firing synapse") and I was watching the same scientists everybody else was and they were crystal clear that the purpose of the vaccine was to ameliorate the effects not prevent them. Show us a real quote from a real virologist saying that vaccines are 100% effective preventing infection. Shit, we argued this exact question at the beginning of the pandemic right here.

We know biden said something like that but do you have links/proof that fauxi and the CDC said what TomBayou tweeted? I believe him as much as you believe DeShone Kizer.

If you listen to advice from politicians on matters of virology you don't get to blame them if the advice is wrong.

Re: 2024 Primary
Trumped posted 71 times on Easter Morning
Only one was about Easter and it simply said "Happy Easter"
He also posted that he is the chosen one sent and blessed by "God"
I guess he is a stupid fuck by your logic

Trump's all-caps, high-octane rage posting is even more intense than it was during his 2016 campaign: report

I've never been on that twitter-X-like site before. Quick question, does anyone here go on that site or have the app on their phone? Any chance the only members of that site are Donald, some of his family (I could see Don Jr, but I doubt Melania is on it), and then a couple thousand journalists who are following him. The guy's a nut.UNI88 wrote: ↑Tue Apr 23, 2024 10:48 amProbably not the best topic for a trump supporter to bring up ...

While not as many as he had on twatter, not an insignificant #. Much better for him to be on Truth than X. Most of the MSM & avid social media Trump haters tbat are big on X are too lazy to follow him on that eww icky right wing conservative Truth site, so Trump can get his message out to his base without getting himself into as much trouble as he did on Twitter.

We can always count on BDKKKaren to try to shift the focus to one inconsequential detail to distract attention.It reported that between June 2015 and March 2016, the president posted an average of 18 times a day on Twitter, and during his current campaign, which began in November 2022, he'd been posting roughly 29 times a day on Truth Social.

Re: 2024 Primary
Trump Bruised by Another Brutal Haley Protest Vote in Pennsylvania Primary
Donald Trump may well have had the Republican nomination in the bag for weeks now, but legions of GOP voters are still apparently unable to stomach the idea of casting their ballots for him.
The former president was given another reminder of the scale of his problem on Tuesday with the Pennsylvania primary. Nikki Haley, who axed her own campaign over a month ago, managed to take 16.5 percent of the vote.
Trump, the only candidate still actually running, therefore easily won the primary with 83.5 percent, according to the Associated Press. But the problem for Trump is that Haley’s 16.5 percent amounts to more than 155,000 votes. In other words, 155,000 Republicans chose to support a defunct campaign instead of Trump in a key battleground state where, in 2016, he beat Hillary Clinton by fewer than 45,000 votes.
The result is part of a pattern that has played out across the primary season, with Trump winning by large margins but facing potentially concerning protest votes. Haley took over 10 percent of the vote in GOP primaries held earlier this month in Wisconsin, Rhode Island, New York, and Connecticut. It’s not yet clear how many of those voting for the former South Carolina governor will actually fall in behind Trump when it’s a straight choice between him and President Joe Biden come November.

Re: 2024 Primary
Living in PA, I wouldn't take much from this. Very few people were talking about the primary, and it was pretty low turnout. Everything had already been decided so it's not like these were very consequential primary races. And while Trump did only end up with 83% of the vote on the GOP side, at least the other person on the ticket, Haley, was pretty well known despite no longer actively running. On the Democratic side, where I voted (still registered Democrat from the 2020 primaries onward), Biden only pulled in 93% of the vote. Some guy (I think) named Phillips was also on the Democratic ballot and he managed 7% of the vote (including mine) without anyone even knowing who he was. There was no "uncommitted" option in PA like there had been in other votes to lodge a protest against Biden.UNI88 wrote: ↑Wed Apr 24, 2024 10:35 am

The biggest impact on the race in PA will be Kennedy being on the ballot as a third party candidate in the fall. He's far more likely to pull votes from Biden than he is from Trump, so an already tight race will be that much more volatile.

Re: 2024 Primary
The place we vote is right next to the vet we use. The dogs had an appointment yesterday, and we got done right before the polls closed. We walked in with about 3 minutes to go and the poll workers looked bummed that we were there. We passed a guy on the way in and he said they were closed. I chuckled, as clearly, by law, they couldn't be. Didn't feel bad voting, they still had plenty to do before they left anyway. Two more voters didn't overly burden them.
