Some people think they can belong to the GOP while disavowing the leader of the GOP.

Imagine that. Imagine being in a party, and disavowing the leader of your party.

What does that even mean?

50,000 out of 2,000,000 works out to 5/200, or 1/40. Which is just over 2%. Pretty close to the overall rate.

Like you said, you can't hide.

"At some point you deniers are going to have to cowboy up and reconcile the choice between being part of society or removing yourself from a risky environment."

Who exactly do you think you're talking to, that is still on the fence?

Seriously, who needs this advice?

That would be a question for the doctor(s) who made the statement. I can't say what methodology was used to derive that number.

No need to ask them.

I know about methodology, and I can assure you they're speaking from the heart, not the mind.

"The current snapshot looks like this:
Odds of contracting COVID: 1/262,500"

No, that's not the odds of contacting it.

Something like 2% of Americans have tested positive for it. That's 1 in 50.

Herd immunity kicks in somewhere around 30 in 50.

Happy Extinction!

I feel like that's a metaphorical one in ten million, don't you, MadBomber?

I mean, if it were a computed statistic being reported in a peer-reviewed public health setting, it would have error bars.

Right? Right.

See what > mean?

SpeakSofyly, you're more at ease being an unhappy loser than a happy winner

Stry of your life. EffetePoser and HeliumRat too.

And me, back when I voted for Perot. (I got better.)

"The only ones happier with a republican in office are racists, sociopaths, and morons too dumb to know why it's bad for them."

And yet, you didn't vote for the Democrat.

So I guess you're okay with the Republicans winning.

"How much would soros have to spend to help you understand that sellout dems have been losing power to republicans for decades?"

One Citizens United ought to cover the bill.

Has no one ever said to you "Hate the game, not the player?"

Or do you just not know what it means?

We have this thread a day or two ago.

To sum up, the highlight was Eberly asking "what's COVID-19 got do with it?"

Just like an innocent man, to worry what his suicidal business associate might say to the cops...

"Yeah because repubs dont shy away from being the wall street party."

George Soros spent billions, so that you could be this dumb.

Go ahead and give the Democrats a big Thank You. They helped you figure out you're happier with a Republican in the White House.

"Yeah because repubs dont shy away from being the wall street party."

Neither do Democrats, you big dummy!

You know what's funny?

A guy named SpeakSoftly
says the winner of the debate
is the one who did anything but
speak softly.

Yeah because moderate indies choose based on manners.

If you're undecided between these two... you ain't black. I mean, moderate.

It didn't chase Republican working class voters away from Trump... or George W. Bush, or George Bush, or Ronald Reagan.

Your problem isn't Biden, or Hillary.
Your problem is you.

#10 So it's political theater.

Great use of the justice system, Texas!

"abortion at common law was committed to the states via the Tenth Amendment some of whom legislated against it."

Not even a comma, or the word "later," between the adoption of the Constitution, and the first State level ban on abortion a century later...

Does an Originalist (or any other) reading of the Constitution find a Federal basis to deny the right to abortion?

If so, where?

The idea that this corruption has reached the highest court in the land seems less and less escapable.

Who paid Kavanaugh's bills?
???

"Trump would never have been elected if dems hadn't sold out the working class decades ago in exchange for wall street's bribe money."

Since you won't share your Butterfly Effect explanation on that, I'll just ignore it like the irrelevant distraction it is.

And regardless, Wall Street held a gun to the Democrats head. You should be praising Wall Street's DOMINANCE.

"Would having my daughter get raped suddenly make me think the only problem with america is trump"

No, but you might realize the men you praise for breaking the rules like your daughter enough to break the rules with her.

Then you can advise your daughter to marry her rapist.

He has what it takes to be a winner!

"No please tell me how to win one."

You already know:
Break the rules.

Which rules have you broken, to get ahead in life, SpeakSoftly?

Or are you a play-by-the-rules loser?

"You need to explain how having my daughter get raped would make me think an old slow corporate status quo sellout democrat is the best way to beat trump."

Clearly you think the best way to beat Trump is to break the rules. Big rules. Like the ones against murder.

The Second Amendment awaits your patriotic attention.

Make us proud!

"I hate trump more than anyone in the world"

Why?
For winning?
LOL dude. You're hopelessly confused.

Go talk to a therapist about that thing I mentioned.

"The way to win a fight is to do whatever it takes."

Suuuure.

Groin kicks, eye gouges...

You've never won a fight in your life, have you?

"except for theoretical argument purposes"

You're trying to dismiss them as merely theoretical?

Theoretical arguments such as yelling "fire" in a crowded theater define the boundaries of our rights, Et_Al.

Sometimes I wish people like SpeakSoftly had a daughter, so Brock Turner could break the rules with her. Maybe then he'd learn.

But then I remember, he's only like this because someone broke the rules on SpeakSoftly and made him a victim.

And that's where adult conservatives come from: From children with unresolved childhood trauma.

"Yeah I'm sure americans were shocked to see trump behave rudely. What a game changer."

Hiding behind sarcasm notwithstanding,

You don't think Trump's demeanor is in fact a game changer re: what it means to be the President of The United States?

Of course you think he's a game changer!

That's why you love him.

He brings a gun to a knife fight. Game changer.

Well then president hillary has been doing a really bad job dealing with coronavirus.

Do Trump next!
Do Trump next!

So the way to dominate is to break the rules... over and over again...

Trump's tax returns, they must also strike you as DOMINATING...

"Helpful, but I'd rather see someone with more judicial and/or high-level litigation experience."

Kavanaugh is the same way; a paper tiger.
He literally never tried a case, as I recall.

Originalism is nothing more than thinking the Air Force is unconstitutional because it's not enumerated in Article 1 Section 8.

A better example would be NASA, and how Ron Paul snubbed their offer to take a tour and see where his highly paid constituents are sucking the government teat, since NASA shouldn't even exist, per Article 1 Section 8.

Within the definition of Conservatism as "resistance to change" it serves to justify any and all resistance.

You'll never, ever, ever get an Origivalist to acknowledge that abortion was legal in every State of the Union, and the Founders did nothing to change that, so therefore the right to abortion is the original intent of the Founders.

But who knows, maybe Et_Al will surprise us!
