Libs rejoice! More people being denied freedom so the government can control what they are allowed to read because anyone with an opinion different than yours should be silenced, amirite? Praise the flying spaghetti monster!

This is awesome in one way and tragic in another. It's awesome because the Lib response has been so hypocritical that maybe it will wake them up to their hypocrisy finally and set them on a path of recovery. It's tragic because that obviously will never happen. Liberals partied when the Supreme Court upheld ACA and voted against Cons. But then the Supreme Court rules something that Libs don't agree with and now they are bad.

"Republicans aren't pro-life, they're only 'pro-BIRTH' - acting as if the baby's life ends once it's born."

Um, might want to check your privilege on this buddy. You are basically admitting that a baby's life exists before birth, so then abortion IS murder to you and your privilege makes you think murder is OK. I'm pro-choice but I can't stand when people use faulty logic to make a point.

"Meanwhile, the school year is looming on the horizon like some dread monstrosity from beyond space-time."

So many Liberals and Liberal outlets are so smug and entitled these days they just like to make elegant sounding articles with no actual news only to spread hate and fear. Articles are only getting worse as Libs try to metaphorically one-up each other because image is much more important to them than reporting accurate and unbiased information.

Put it this way, follow the money in regards to your favorite media outlets. The profit they are probably making since Marchish has probably gone way up. Libs love to outwardly condemn money and rich people but their Gods of News are raking in the dough solely off of exploiting their Lib readers. This is such a whiny article, I should be surprised anyone would post it. But obviously with DR Libs the criteria for news is at an all-time low.

What's TRULY going to have Dem tears creating a flood is when they get their way and defund police and NOBODY comes at all.

"Does anything actually think that they'd "interview" the group before checking on the condition of the man being held against his will?"

Actually, yes, they would in most cases. Because there are a LOT of cases like this regarding all skin colors that occur that nobody ever hears about because they don't fit the current narrative. The media, especially Liberal media, would never make it a story and none of us would ever hear about it. There have been examples of this creeping up over the years that never gain any following. Your point is valid and I do believe there is a problem, but it's nowhere near the level you think it is.

So, the premise about corruption is obvious and has been a problem for a very long time and cannot be denied, and should be fixed. However, as it relates to covid, so what? The premise of the article doesn't help the problem we are fighting. If the funding would have gone to all businesses outside of the ones involved in the corruption, the economic numbers would still be the same. It would just mean other people got to keep their jobs while the ones who have been able to keep them today would not. The problem that covid is impacting our economy would still remain and be almost exactly the same. Moving money around doesn't change the impact. To put it more simply, if Jack and Sally both could lose their jobs, and Jack gets government money, he keeps his and Sally doesn't. If, instead, Sally gets the money then Jack loses his job.

Sorry, not good enough. This is America. We expect everything to be provided to us immediately because we are entitled to everything. Since we say it can be done, then it can be done. We ignore all professional medical advice because we are entitled to do so. Unless that advice agrees with our political beliefs. Then it is 100% true and accurate and the other party is to blame for everything. And people under 30 are allowed to ignore any social distancing measures because they are the smartest, most wise people in our society. Or so say all the people who think it's imperative that these same people come out and vote in record numbers every term.

I say it in every one of these articles. When Trump loses and leaves office, will Dems come out and say their fear mongering was wrong? Nope. Because Dems don't like being wrong just as much as Trump. How will Dems be held accountable for their fear mongering once this happens? And I don't mean Trump demands a recount and refuses to believe he lost, because that's becoming a staple in every election everywhere. Trump won't be the first, won't be the last, and will just end up being one of the thousands who have done it before him in the last few decades. I mean when all is said and done, and Biden is officially announced the winner, how are Dems going to apologize to the nation for their hatred and spreading of fear?

Once it has run its course and becomes just another virus our bodies either fight off or need a shot to defend against, we will be living with it. My estimate is that Dems will immediately learn to live with it once Biden wins in November. Funny how that works.

"Trump let the infection spread"

It's a shame there is no way for people to have free will and choose to do something based on the risk it presents. It must suck to be a Dem and live in fear because you feel every aspect of your lives should be controlled and anything that isn't specifically made illegal is something that should be ignored. It's almost as if Trump didn't let the infection spread...and people all over the world have let the infection spread. But, what do I know, I only live in reality. Also, even if something is illegal, Dems don't care anyways as long as their opinion differs, then they actively try to get people to ignore the law. Or, worse yet, they try to get rid of police. So, if Trump were to press harder using his position's power...who would enforce it? The people you want to defund?

So while we wait for Trump to make a statement about this so Dems can know what opinion they should have, anyone want to set up a betting pool?

There is only one point in the article that is not an opinion. The rest is partisan hate. If we could get the media to concentrate on the parts that everyone agrees on instead of hating each other for not having the same opinions, we could move forward. Instead, we just stay stagnant and Libs continue to penalize people for not having the same opinion as them, regardless if the facts show they are wrong or at least show there is evidence that supports both sides.

*facepalm*

When Trump takes action against Russians, Dems side with the Russians and say Trump shouldn't bother them. When Trump sides with Russia, Dems say he's catering to Putin. You can't make this stuff up. It's a bunch of whiney babies who take every incident and find out how it can be spun to be negative and then use it as ammunition. If Trump were to put all his support behind Kap, Dems would say Trump doesn't care about knee damage that occurs when kneeling and they would find some evidence somewhere that proves it. Seriously, the parties have just stopped trying to be suave about their spin and just saying whatever they want without any tact. We now have articles on FOX today saying, "How the defund police movement has caused more crime." That's an embarrassment to all of humanity that an outlet actually has to spell that out so people will understand, and yet people still argue about it. We have lost all common sense because we choose to hate instead.

Man, that evil casts system hits again. It's almost as if all those Africans who enslave other Africans or oppress them on a daily basis are all rich, too. Right? Right!? But yeah, America is terrible and we should all burn in hell.

Yay! Another reason for Dems to support China while demonizing America! Let's all go kneel at a China sports event! Seriously, please, go kneel there. All Dems will mysteriously disappear but, yeah, at least America will be demonized.

Why the hell not. Trump got elected for having talents other than being a politician that in no way make him qualified. Seems only fair we continue that trend.

Cause and effect logic has never been more abused than it is today.

Know what else inherently causes the police to be defunded? When there isn't enough crime happening to justify their pay.

But yeah, let's say the police are the problem.

Here we go again...Americans passing the blame off to anyone but themselves. This just makes it easier for everyone to make sure their own ego isn't impacted and to make sure they are not responsible for anything when it comes to fixing the problem. It's very sad.

I had no idea people got tax credit for sending kids to public school. Wtf? Just another Republican way to cater to the rich. So citizens pay for public schools and then turn around and have to pay for private schools too. Sounds to me like they aren't private then?

Sweet, Dems have something else to love about China while they hate on America.

That's usually the stage that comes after the other party clings on to every piece of evidence and ignores all other evidence about something. Revolving door partisan hate. It won't be fixed until people learn to be objective and not haters.

Meh. Do a Google search for research about higher numbers and then do one for research about lower numbers. You will get evidence that both sides are correct. The only thing we can know for sure is that there is no way to know if covid numbers are real. Yet both sides still want to only use the evidence they like and report it like it's a plague or not a concern.

"It's not rocket science to trace IP data to bad actors"

Actually, no it's not. It's only easy when the bad actors are known and have static assignments that are publicly available. There are a lot of easy technologies that make it next to impossible to identify bad actors, hence why any time you report being hacked or breached to authorities, they basically just say OK and move on. Making it even more difficult are the honeypots that bad actors create that are technically reverse honeypots to attract authorities while they use other means to carry out attacks. There are a huge amount of issues with finding bad actors. And once they are found, it takes them a few minutes to migrate their acting to hot nets that allow them to spin up their bad activities by a flip of a switch.

And even when they do find them, it's next to impossible to do anything about it if they are in a foreign country. So if there is a critical technology that people rely on to do something, and you just block people from using it...now you have a people problem. Let's say Huawei is bad and one day they perform a world-wide attack. If that infrastructure is in place to service millions of cell towers, what are you going to do...just turn them off and leave people without cell service?

Imagine if social networking existed during Lincoln's time. The Civil War would have never happened and slavery would still exist. He consistently made racist quotes. But he knew that how one man feels is not what America is about and that all men should be treated equally in the eyes of the law. Imagine that happening today. The Left would never end their smear campaign on him...I mean, if you ignore the fact that Dems fought to protect slavery so they would have done it anyway. But even if they weren't for slavery, they would have admonished him to no end. Just like they are doing today. The Left does not like free speech. They want to control all speech they don't agree with and want to legislate the same way. They haven't changed from the Civil War days except now they use try to cater to morality to get their way. The Right may legislate off of money and greed (which is no better) but at least they are OK with people being able to exercise their first Amendment rights. And their second Amendments rights, while we are at it. Still waiting for them to encroach on the 3rd Amendment and proclaim all looters and rioters soldiers of a racism war and force people to quarter them for the sake of morality.

Rofl...so now it's a plague. There's no end to the exaggeration and fear mongering of the Left in regards to covid, just so they can get more votes. Neither party has yet to realize that getting votes based on fear only spreads fear and hate.

Two articles on Drudge with two very different conclusions (one saying there is a spike and another saying there isn't) but use the same Leftist spin. Lib hypocrisy has gotten so bad that you can't even hide it effectively anymore.
