The FBI warned law enforcement agencies prior to the assault on the U.S. Capitol last week that there would be potential violence, reports the Associated Press

If true, why would political leaders - chiefly Trump - pour gasoline on the fire?

Because it was a cunning stunt?

I'm a "Notes" user as well, but I saw a promo for Evernote, and I thought I'd ask around to see if it's worth it.

Is there a good place to read up on some of the "power user" features of the Notes app?

What does that have to do with anything?

You don't get to call people who do not support your perception of the President as being deranged, and then, when you support a position with no apparent basis in fact, say "my perception is just as valid as everybody else's".

When did I say I thought everyone who does not share my same perception was deranged? There are people whose pathological hatred of the man is pretty far out there and TDS is a real thing, but I have never said YOU were deranged.

Well, not in that particular way, anyway.

When I said 'you' I didn't mean you as an individual, but the people in general who say that those of us who can't abide the guy are deranged.

Sasse?

@lufins-dad said in 25% For:

You know, we should probably separate into a bunch of smaller individual and sovereign states, but still be united by a governing body for purposes of trade and defense. We should also have some basic principles set as common law between these separate but equal states and assure some simple but basic rights and that's it. I wonder why nobody has ever thought to do so before?

Yep Trump should not have gone so hard on the stolen election theme. And we should have had some basic reasonable protection of the Capitol. The fact that we didn't certainly has played into the hands of "Trumpism" haters.

All we had to do was reinforce the cockpit doors.

@lufins-dad said in One-Shot Vaccine from J & J:

The bigger news about this vaccine is that it’s a more traditional vaccine and is not mRNA based. That should help with those that are scared about the Pfizer vaccine:

If you are 75 should you be worried about RNA issues?

Also, If the average age of death is 80 it seems like the pros and cons are a no brainer.

I'm seeing a lot of people (and yes, a lot of them are over 75) reluctant to get the vaccine because of the mRNA base of the vaccine.

@jolly Because he followed the administration's recommendation.

FL, TX, OH and other have not.

Each governor gets to decide what is best for his state.

Cuomo screwed the pooch on this one.

@89th said in Trump’s new video on Twitter (Jan.13, 2021):

This video reminds me of this type of high school scenario:

Bully (lying) to his friends, “hey guys, those two nerds in the corner called you ugly!” Bully (lying) repeats this daily over two months Bully (lying) on the last day, “you gotta fight like hell if you don’t want those nerds to keep doing that” The bully’s friends to over and beat up the nerds 7 days later as the cops look for the Bully, he goes out and says “hey, I think what they did was wrong, I never told them to do anything, they are not my friends”

I hope you all realize that none of this happened.

I understand the rule that if you say something about Mr. Trump, it is accepted as truth.

But I know, you know in your hearts that this didn't happen.

Sounds promising, but I think the graveyard is full of drugs that worked wonders on mice but were never made to work on humans.

It was the only thing he had that would in any way differentiate between his approach and the Trump administration. The idea that the federal government can fix the administration of doses is ludicrous. It will remain a state and local issue and it will look very different in different places.

FDF is a very risky scheme. Those who get the first dose should have their appointments set for the second at that time.

And 'winning the hearts and minds'? Vietnamization didn't work there and it sure as hell won't work here in this climate.

True, but we’ll have a glut of vaccines by the end of the year. I’ll take an annual booster. Combine it with my flu shot.

Those code monkeys should quit their jobs in shame.
