@bachophile LMFAO!!

It is about ensuring sufficient vaccine supplies.

What is the problem?

The FBI's mask drops (though I don't know if the two situations are comparable):

According to these declassified documents and communications, in 2015 FBI leadership sought to give the Clinton campaign a defensive briefing before an FBI field office could pursue a FISA warrant related to a threat posed to the Clinton campaign by a foreign government. But in 2016 when there was a similar counterintelligence threat to the Trump campaign, FBI leadership failed to give a defensive briefing to the Trump campaign, opting instead to open the Crossfire Hurricane investigation and relentlessly pursue FISA warrants targeting the Trump campaign.

“There was a clear double standard by the Department of Justice and FBI when it came to the Trump and Clinton campaigns in 2016.

“These newly released documents indicate that a foreign government was trying to influence the Clinton campaign through a campaign associate and the FBI was seeking a FISA warrant. However, the Bureau, as it is supposed to do, required that Hillary Clinton be defensively briefed about the matter so she could engage in corrective action.

“When it came to the Trump campaign, there were four counterintelligence investigations opened against Trump campaign associates. Not one time was President Trump defensively briefed about the FBI’s concerns.

“Even more egregious, when the FBI gave a generic briefing to the Trump campaign about foreign influence, not only did they fail to mention the specific concerns about Trump associates, they sent an FBI agent into the briefing to monitor President Trump and General Flynn.

Minority Leader McCarthy asks why Swalwell is still on the House Intelligence Committee.

Apparently he responded to the "defensive briefing" he got in 2015, which, as the quote above indicates, is more than President Trump got.

There is an app for that ...

@jon-nyc said in SCOTUS to Team Trump: Drop Dead:

By the way, as I googled up the data about blue and red shift, I was reminded that this is how it goes arguing with any conspiracy theorist. They make a claim, you show them its false, then they just pretend it didn't happen and make some other false claim.

Like with some 9/11 truther, at some point you find yourself researching the tensile strength of steel at 400C and ask yourself "WTF am I doing?"

You'll teach him another valuable lesson if you increase his rent.

We bought ours at Target in 1992. It is still in great shape and looks wonderful. Every single ornament has a memory attached to it.

@taiwan_girl said in Trump negotiating with Galactic Federation of Aliens:

But I would be very amazed if there was not life as advanced (or more advanced) than humans out there somewhere.

Imagine traveling a gazillion light years, and the first human being you meet is Donald Trump.

We're doomed.

Not necessarily. You'd have to know your aliens better.

It would be interesting to see a graph of population density vs. cases/deaths.

Obviously, there would be some extremes. Singapore has one of the highest population density, but low case/death. Taiwan is the same - high population density and low cases/deaths.

There are so many other factors that are tough to include and graph.

Interesting. I have always been interested in ants. In fact, I have this big book on ants.

In fact, I have the below book

I looked in the index of the book above, and there are a alot of references to myrmeco..., mainly dealing with the action between ants and plants.

Never even heard of that word before. LOL

I've seen The Who twice in concert, both times before 1972 - yeah, with Keith Moon.

I was so impressed with how, with just a lead guitar and a bass, they could "fill out" the sound.

ZZ Top is the same.

With a growing population

food would be a problem life insurance would change social security would go broke the death penalty would be punishment for even the smallest transgression

He addresses all (well, not the death penalty part) of those issues in his book. One of the points is that SS would be shifted toward people who are really retired, because, if you remain in good health, you'd work longer - presumably.

What percent of Americans even know who Krebs is? I’ll bet they are more likely to say Kreb Cycle which tells you how little this matters. It will blow away like a fart in the wind.

Wow, he is in trouble
