This is all a blatant attempt to rile up the Right. They know this BS is unconstitutional and start the crap just in time for the inevitable court cases to strike then down around voting time. It’s all about getting that outrage boiling
Taking the fight all the way to the Supreme Court (where they should lose) costs money. The idiot voters that support this nonsense are sacrificing everyone’s tax dollars to this altar. Meanwhile they don’t have funds to pave roads, etc.
At first I thought, nah, they sincerely believe it’s best and would love to be a martyr. But it’s June, you’re 100% correct, this won’t make it into a classroom.
“Today class, we’ll look at the christian bible’s book of Genesis and its creation myth. We’ll refer back to our science class last week about life on Earth containing Carbon 14, and how it can be used to accurately date living things and how wrong the Genesis is. We’ll be comparing this to other creation myths such as the Greek and Norse versions.”
I think most voters have already made up their mind by now. If Trump shuts his mouth and “acts presidential” he will “win” the debate. If Biden can appear alert and well-spoken, he will win.
The downside for Biden I see are for those voters who haven’t paid attention to politics recently. He’s been declining in mental clarity lately and comparing pictures/video of him just from the start of his presidency he “looks” really old now. One of the most stressful jobs in the world ages you rapidly. Those voters could see Biden now and think “what the hell happened to him?”
The downsides for Trump… motions at everything The bar is extremely low. If he comes off as loud and interrupting or playing the victim, the Haley voters/old Republicans could be turned off.
Actually pretty close to what I think, plus the possibility of any tiny slip up being ate up by the media.
This is off topic but imagine if we had two Gen X candidates up there. Around early to mid forties. We might actually have a worthwhile debate that doesn’t come off as “Grandpas are fighting again and they want us to hear their presentations” but without the cuteness of a gay old couple.
I know most of us agree, but I’d give a lot to not have the country dick punching each other over two extremely elderly men. My grandfather fucking died at their age.
Scientists look at the historical peaks from the last years, then they work back from that targeted date by adding in the many months needed to do trials, manufacturing, etc. Good thing is that, with mRNA technology, that time window is actually much better that it used to be for the older tech we’ve used for flu viruses in the past.
It’s never going to be perfect, but as long as you had last year’s booster, as the article mentioned, you’re much less likely to get seriously ill.
Predicting when next year’s peaks will drop is like predicting next years rainfall. You can get close, but it’s never going to be perfect. (Not the greatest analogy, since rain doesn’t mutate, and umbrellas don’t require months of human trials. Ohh well)
These are smart people working on this stuff. If they could have had an updated vaccine ready to go for any unexpected peak, they would.
People are way overreacting to this. This decision was 100% about a federal statute. Unaffected are the MANY, MANY state and local laws preventing state and local government employees from taking gifts.
Edit: for y’all downvoters, even the linked article states
In any event, the decision in *Snyder *is narrow. It does not rule that Congress could not ban gratuities. It simply rules that this particular statute only reaches bribes.
Yes, they’ve been updating the vaccine every year to match currently-circulating virus strains. This is about an additional update coming out this fall.
Pretty much the same thing is done with flu vaccines, where you need a periodic update for it to be effective.
FYI: A disorderly conduct charge is just “contempt of cop”, unless it makes sense in parallel with the other charges like DUI or public nudity.
Multiple cops have openly admitted in person to me that they use it for compliance where force isn’t justified. “Move along or you’re about to become disorderly”.
I live in socal and it’s super dry right now and HOT. The next city over is doing a “fireworks and night of destruction” tomorrow. I know it’s unlikely but I hope their fireworks were in that seizure.
I’m all down for a night of destruction, but the fireworks right now is suchhh an easy way to start a wild fire. There’s already been a few small ones this past month.
It’s crazy to me that fireworks can even be shipped to California, let alone actually used in-state, with how many wildfires they’ve caused. I genuinely would not trust people with them at this point
And i don’t mean “mailed” or “trucked”, I mean “turn that ship north and go the long way fuckers, not in this port” shipped.
