Did the watchdog group report that finding? Did PBS accurately report what the watchdog group said? Great. Job done. That's how journalism works. You should familiarize yourself with the concept.

Nobody expects women to read the latest medical journals and interpret the studies. And surely nobody expects our dim POTUS to read medical studies--and indeed, clearly, he'd never read the word "acetaminophen" before deciding to offer medical advice on it's usage. Women get that guidance from their doctors. It's standard guidance in prenatal care--inclusive of proper detail and nuance. Go to your medicine cabinet, take out a bottle, look at the dosage and it will tell you right there to talk to your doctor if pregnant. Great damn advice. Unlike Trump's rambling, bumbling adventure into heterodox TV medicine. It's nuts. Never should have happened.

Well, shit. Turns out this degenerate is also an Olympic athlete. This is an elite and apparently excellent human being. I can see why the Trump administration is targeting such model non-citizen citizens for removal. Makes 'em look bad. I don't know what his immigration status was when he acquired a gun or how he got it--or why he thought he needed one--but it does seem pretty likely that it was illegal to have one. And yes, a functional gun tracing system could radically reduce the number of illegal guns.

But it's not the government's information to sit on, is it? It wasn't hidden. It's not like a government lab was doing research and came to a result and had to decide whether to publish or not. It's publicly available information from multiple research organizations compiled over decades. It's neither new nor timely. The medical community knows. OBGYNs know. They've been advising pregnant patients on how and when to use acetaminophen for a loooong time. The question--and why people are reacting to this scenario--is why did this government jump on a loose association that the medical world is already well aware of and decide to put on a public show about it? Why insert themselves in this process at this moment? They're bringing nothing to the table. Is it pure attention seeking behavior? Again this is a man who literally can't even pronounce acetaminophen--has clearly never read or said the word in his life. What motivates such a demonstrably ignorant person to go on TV and start dispensing medical advice? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DT7Scg2okMs It's certainly not altruism or conscience. If this government wanted to warn Americans about definitive, scientifically established threats that we can mitigate through behavioral changes, boy do they have options. But that's clearly not the goal.

Boy, Trump sure is making our country better. Glad we got rid of this lowlife! "Roberts got his start as a special education teacher and completed his first doctorate on the importance of including special education students in the classroom, according to Nicole Price, who has written several books with Roberts." Maybe we can work something out to keep the multi-Ph.D education reformer and author who has spent 20 years helping America's children. Maybe deport some MAGA loser instead.

Luckily, you can't run down too many people with a Rascal scooter. The garden gnomes should be worried though.

This is what it sounds like when a professional wrestler gets old and senile, BROTHER!

"Oh, it's a miracle! You've remembered "Who said anything like that?" I called it "your OP," dummy. I said that you said something like that. Obviously I knew you posted it. That's what made it so absurd that you're asking who said it. So, back in reality... 274 armed LEOs from the FBI were dispatched to a violent insurrection threatening the lives of our legislators. Pretty straightforward. And you weirdos are going to pretend that it's somehow political. Lol

??? I can't read it for you. 🤦‍♂️

Who said anything like that? Well, you did. Did not not even bother to read your OP, FFS? "revealing for the first time that the FBI had a total of 274 agents deployed to the Capitol in plainclothes and with guns after the violence started" Just because the algorithm spoonfeeds an endless sewer of claims from like-minded people that does not mean that you're anywhere near the truth.

Suuuuuure he did. You might wanna to stop confusing random Twitter posts for journalism. That's not remotely what the clown case is about. And it's going to end in another Trump legal pratfall. This behavior would be hilarious if it weren't rapidly dissolving the fabric of America. The New Yorker Thursday’s indictment of the former F.B.I. director James Comey bore a single, telling signature: that of Lindsey Halligan, installed by President Donald Trump just three days earlier to serve as the United States Attorney for the Eastern District of Virginia. Halligan is an insurance lawyer turned Trump attorney and White House aide; in March, Trump appointed her to remove “improper ideology” from the Smithsonian. She has scant experience in federal courts and none as a prosecutor. Her predecessor in the position, a seasoned prosecutor nominated by Trump, was forced out last Friday, according to numerous news reports, after balking at demands to concoct cases against Comey, in addition to New York’s attorney general, Letitia James, and others... Prosecutors in Halligan’s office reportedly submitted a memorandum to Halligan outlining the weakness of the Comey case. None of those concerns mattered, apparently. Trump finally secured the indictment he had long been calling for... The indictment alleges that “that statement was false,” because, as Comey “then and there knew, he in fact had authorized PERSON 3 to serve as an anonymous source in news reports regarding an F.B.I. investigation concerning PERSON 1.” This was presumably Hillary Clinton, because the leak at issue related to the F.B.I.’s investigation into Clinton’s e-mails and the Clinton Foundation... And the IG report already determined that Comey was likely telling the truth.

No, dummy. Nothing will happen to him aside from the nuisance harassment. You enjoy your geriatric wet dream though.

This is likely false, given the source, but let's play along and pretend it's credible. Sending LEOs to the scene of a violent insurrection already in progress is suuuper political? Like sending squad cars to a bank robbery. Politics!

He is a serial liar. Compulsive. Pathological. About all things big and small, meaningful and trivial. You simply don't find that a disqualifying character flaw because it's one you share. Meanwhile, back on topic, you don't seem have any opinion at all about why a casual statement of fact from his vanquished opponent provoked such a childish outburst.

Nobody should be above the law, but Comey didn't break the law, fool. The top prosecutor investigating Comey said that there wasn't evidence to charge him. So Trump fired him and replaced him with somebody who has zero you prosecutorial experience and fewer morals. Someone willing to blindly follow Trump's orders--orders he's not supposed to be giving at all. And the result is this embarrassing absurdity of a political prosecution. That's how little concern Trump has for actual governance. That's how little Trump thinks of his followers. He knows that he can spit right in their faces by appointing comically unqualified loyalists to important positions in the government, and their only response is to lick the spittle clean like eager little puppies, and then beg for more. And as little as he thinks of you, I think even less.

Jeebus, did you just stumble your senile old ass home from the bar? You make about as much sense as a Trump UN speech. The only people whining are Trump and, as always, his servile army of witless keyboard warriors. Harris stated a fact--a statement that didn't affect Trump in the least--and he threw a tantrum because it didn't fluff his ego.

It's pretty obvious she's referring to the popular vote. The orange manbaby's fragile ego simply can't abide anything that suggests he isn't universally beloved. Why would a sitting president (with any dignity) even comment on such a remark? Sore winner whiny child throws a social media tantrum.

A truly grotesque abuse of the justice system by a truly evil president intent on destroying the American experiment--and not even subtly. Publicly ordering our once independent DoJ to prosecute his political enemies (rather than actual criminals) underscores just how little Trump respects American values and his own cultish followers. No pretense needed. He knows that they will support naked fascism. He knows they will choose him over America every time. He's groomed them for the end of democracy and they are fully compliant.

Once upon a time, Americans would have overwhelmingly agreed that it's a good idea to take medical advice from medical experts, and a bad idea to take medical advice from a politician. Particularly someone who LITERALLY can't pronounce the name of the medication about which they are speaking. Seriously, if you can't even say "acetaminophen" don't hold a press conference to share with the world your "deep insights" about acetaminophen. Just shut your goddamn mouth and sit down. Full stop. This is another reminder that these are not normal times. Trump is objectively stupid. Just shockingly dumb. And a reminder that his cultish followers are dumber still. This is not defensible behavior. How do we stop these people from breeding? How do we get Trump to hold a press conference about the importance of regularly applying intense heat to eliminate bacteria on the testicles? It's possible that research could one day establish a contributing casual link between pre-natal acetaminophen and neurological conditions, but a few loose correlations (which are old news) are not it, and not cause for a press conference. If you're looking for a way to apply research to give your children a better future, maybe stop focusing on sketchy warnings about pain medicine and take some painless steps toward curbing greenhouse gas emissions--the dangers of which are established by an overwhelming scientific consensus approaching unanimity.

Well, it looks like that bullet killed both Charlie Kirk and the first amendment. Let's be clear: this was direct government retaliation, the most aggressive censorship, against legitimate political commentary. Not hate speech, nor calls to violence, nor even a celebration of violence, but simple criticism of political behavior. The masquerade is over, the costume set aside. Now it's just naked fascism. And MAGA America is really turned on by what they see. Whatever legacy Kirk might have had as a free speech advocate is now destroyed. Ironically, not by the people who disliked him, but by his own "friends" using his death as a final excuse to end free speech.

If only this post were from January 7, 2021, someone might be able to take it seriously. Or maybe if these posts were coming from people who haven't been defending and cheering excusing and laughing about political violence for years. Or from people who didn't vote back into office the man who sicced the violent mob on the legislature--and then watched the spectacle on TV. Or if that man hadn't pardoned his violent mob and put them back on the streets. But with all that history it's pretty hard to take seriously MAGA America's "sudden awakening" to the idea that political violence is unacceptable. But better late than never, I guess. Welcome to the impeachment movement!

Popped back in just for this thread--and it's exactly as expected. This is rather like when Rush Limbaugh died. Kirk was also a professional a$$hole. Like Limbaugh, he made a lot of money spreading lies, sowing hate and driving division. Objectively, the world will be better off without this cog in the hate machine. Still, his only "crime" was political speech, and political speech should never be answered with violence. Never. It's a tragic day, but the tragedy isn't the "loss" of Kirk, it's the ongoing erosion of civil discourse, displaced by the brutal expedience of force. Sadder still, the MAGA crowd won't recognize the irony of this deeply MAGA, "might makes right" moment. A movement headed by a bully who has caused and reveled in political violence has very little room to be outraged by political violence.

No, I think asylum and refugee considerations should not be based on race at all. Trump disagrees. He's aggressively shut down the legal routes that non-whites were using at the southern border, while opening up a special path for white "refugees" fleeing a fictional genocide. It's blatantly racist, and you're eager to defend it. You know, like the whites only rules we used to have all over the southern US. After restoring statues and renaming parks and monuments to honor Confederate generals, I'm sure he'll get around to editing the dedication for the Statue of Liberty: "Give us your tired, your poor, your huddled WHITE masses yearning to breathe free."

Nah, they have meaning. You just need a room-temperature IQ to understand them. Like I said, ask somebody to explain it to you, slowly. Maybe get some puppets in the mix or something? Your feelings aren't facts, and the the fact that you existed during the events discussed clearly doesn't mean that you understood them. The world of economics is as mysterious to you as thunder to the ancient greeks.

That's a lot of word salad to say that you agree with me that people crossing the southern border are almost entirely non-white. Which is an easy and plain fact to verify. Tell @gatomontes99 to pull his head out of Trump's ass for a minute and recognize the fact.
