Depends on if the state is red or blue. In the blue states you have a chance for a good result out of the state legislatures, red state ones then you are screwed and your rights denied. Scottie
At least they were not abusing and killing unarmed black men. But for that they wouldn’t have been fired. Scottie
Sorry too late then. Scottie

Texas Children’s Hospital and Baylor College of Medicine announced today that CORBEVAX™, a protein sub-unit COVID-19 Vaccine, whose technology was created and engineered at its Center for Vaccine Development (CVD), has received Emergency Use Authorization (EUA) approval from the Drugs Controller General of India (DCGI) to launch in India with other underserved countries to follow.
Dubbed “The World’s COVID-19 Vaccine”, it uses a traditional recombinant protein-based technology that will enable its production at large scales making it widely accessible to inoculate the global population. The initial construct and production process of the vaccine antigen was developed at Texas Children’s Hospital CVD, led by co-directors Drs. Maria Elena Bottazzi and Peter Hotez and in-licensed from BCM Ventures, Baylor College of Medicine’s integrated commercialization team, to Hyderabad-based vaccine and pharmaceutical company Biological E. Limited (BE).

Misleading right wing media cartoons / memes
I have debunked this right wing talking point before. Crime is up currently in cities run by both the right and the left, but the misleading right wing media is making it out to be a lot worse than it is and they leave out it is happening in cities run by the Republicans. The right wing uses talking points instead of facts. The crime we have now is less than we had just less than a decade ago. What the right is trying to do is scare the voters into voting for Republicans saying they will be harmed if they don’t and only Republicans can save them. It is a talking point they have used for as long as I can remember. They claim the Democrats are soft on crime and weak on the military. Both are incorrect. Scottie
Rivers is a die hard far right cartoonist. He doesn’t even see the hypocrisy of showing people that sacrificed and gave what they could for a public good he is then comparing to people who won’t even wear a mask to prevent a virus from spreading because it inconveniences them. Really the other suffered for the good of the country with extra work, rationed foods and fuel, not buying stuff to save it for the war effort and yet the people Rivers is championing won’t wear a mask because it seems to harm a mythical freedom they have the rest of us don’t.

Covered this one before. The CDC guidelines take into account the reality that the US doesn’t have the testing kits we need to do proper testing. The CDC guidelines are easy to understand if you wish to do so. If you listened to the misleading right wing the guidelines are written in a now dead language by space monkeys. It is a case of saying what you wish ere true instead of reporting the reality. Scottie
The US undervalues teachers and uses them as childcare baby sisters to park kids somewhere so the parents can go to work to make profit for the upper incomes. The New Mayor of NY even said it, he needs kids in schools so the parents can work when he was talking about wanting to stop testing for Covid. DeathSantis threatened teachers, schools, and districts if they dared to require masks or vaccines and worse if they tried to do remote learning. Deathsantis has made it clear he is denying Covid is in Florida because it is hurting the tourism trade and the profits wont flow if we admit the truth. Better to infect everyone they say and get it over with. Problem is it is not over with then. There is so far no herd immunity with the coronavirus which is shown as you can get it a second and even third time. Teachers are humans, people with families and they want to not get Covid also. They have the same right to protect themselves as everyone else. The fact that they stop the states from getting tax money and the upper class incomes from profit is the states problem. Pay for more teachers to spread the students out, enforce mask and vaccine requirements, and do remote learning when needed. But the states don’t want to spend more money on kids or teachers / schools, better to let them all die on their own dime the states feel. Scottie
One side, the Democrats are fighting for the people and the public good. The other side, the Republicans are fighting against the public good and for the wealthy / large corporations. It is very misleading of the media that tries to make this both sides are doing it. That is incorrect, each side is fighting for very different ideas and groups of people. Scottie
The main difference is that Pearl Harbor and 9/11 were foreign enemies. The perpetrators of January 6th were domestic enemies, traitors one and all. Scottie
Mail in ballots have been shown to be safe and secure way for people to vote. Several states use only mail in ballots with little problems and no fraud. Drop boxes are simply convenient for people who are busy especially with the slowed down mail system. Again no evidence of any fraud. The only large scale ballot harvesting fraud was in North Carolina where a Republican operative took a bunch of ballots to mark them for the Republican candidate. He got caught. The point is small scale fraud happens and the people get caught. Like the four people so far from the Villages in Florida who voted more than once for tRump. Ballot gathering or bunching is simply a convenience to help people who can not get out and post their ballot themselves. It is a service not a crime. What the right doesn’t like about the voting rights bill is it helps people who have a right to vote to vote. The right doesn’t want all eligible voters to vote because they will lose. But that is democracy, they need to change their message to appeal to more people. They do not seem to want a democracy, but instead to allow only the people who vote for them to vote.
The allowing non-citizens to vote in local communities where they have lived for many years makes sense. It gives people who live there a say in their community. Studies have shown that when people are part of the community they work for the well being of that community. This is not federal elections, not even state office holders, it is simply local community issues. No big deal and no down side. Scottie
Equating the ending of a 20 year war and the removing of US troops along with mostly peaceful protests against police abuse / murder of unarmed people to violent attacks against the country with thousands of deaths or the attack on the capital to stop a legislative action is despicable. The ones mentioned by VP Harris were attacks against the US sovereignty. That is a huge difference from the others added despite the right wing media hype over them. Scottie

And now some for fun
Gym Jordan, who helped cover up the sexual assaults of his fellow wrestling coach, has plenty to hide.
Hillary Clinton testified for ELEVEN HOURS and never took the Fifth Amendment or refused to answer any questions because she really did have “nothing to hide.” At the end of her ordeal, the committee chair, Republican Trey Gowdy, a trained prosecutor, apparently unaware that the mic was still hot, confessed that “we got nothing.” He soon resigned his committee chairmanship and then resigned from the congress entirely and has essentially never been heard from again.
All the Republicans who waged years of witch hunts against Hillary, never once getting anything, are now taking the Fifth (probably drinking a few fifths, too), refusing to testify and doing everything possible to avoid questions that they know will prove how directly they were involved in election lies, election fraud and an armed violent attempted overthrow of the United States Capitol.
From Raw Story:
“To answer Jim Jordan, I would quote Jim Jordan from the views that he expressed in the final Benghazi report, where he said that all of the truth must come out,” said Raskin. “Everybody needs to testify, and nobody’s got the right to hide anything from Congress. So, I think he had it right then. Jim Jordan, more than anybody else, knows what dogged, aggressive investigation is about, even when he’s on a wild goose chase, he demands all the information he wants, and we’re not on that. We are on the central investigative mission certainly of this decade, if not this century, to get to the bottom of this terrible political crime that was incited and to a substantial extent organized by Donald Trump.”
