"we now know microcoagulation and embolism is a significant injury that's associated with the mRNA vaccines"

That is a lie.

"Large population studies and reviews by health agencies find no causal link between mRNA vaccines (such as Pfizer and Moderna) and venous thromboembolism or pulmonary embolism."

David Hearn, a us olympian and business owner, was only arrested and prosecuted in order to cover up for Trump's lie.
You don't actually do anything wrong in Trump's America for the dictator to target you.

Weinstein and Cosby's lawyers said the same about their clients. Funny how that happens to these old rich guys anytime they are accused of wrongdoing.

His diary entries reveal that he is a narcissist piece of ---- more interested in his media appearances than public health.

You talking about Trump? Oh wait...he doesn't keep a diary because he's functionally illiterate.

Donald Trump and Pete Hegseth should both be impeached and tried for murder.

Make America Contagious Again? Make America Infectious Again? Can't wait for Polio to return.

The suit will be dropped. It's what Trump does every time someone stands up to him.

Remember when Republicans used to throw a fit and cry about braindead Joe when Biden would tell a story with an exaggeration or mixed up detail?

We've got Mitch McConnell in the hospital literally brain dead and Trump remembering things that never happened and making up countries that don't exist (the Islamic Republic of Japan) but republicans sit silently while we all have to live with a country being ran by Abe Simpson.

@#1 ... How did the vetting process fail ...
Possibly because the process may have been designed to sign-up as many persons as possible, as quickly as possible?

Democrats on the Committee of Homeland Security requested the GAO look into this last year. There is no public record that indicates the GAO ever issued a response, much less took action on the request. The letter cited reports of new recruits not passing educational requirements, not being fingerprinted for background check or drug tested.

It can be assumed that the administration took no action on the request because it came from democrats and in this white house the rule is party over country.

Platner dropped out on the 10th.....

Sorry...should have included the date of when I originally posted that comment. It was several days before he dropped out.

My original point was that I visited Monticello and the tour guides were fixated on one topic and failed to mention all his other accomplishments.
That's not supporting slavery or defending him owning slaves.

I don't believe you. I've taken the tour and they definitely covered many of Jefferson's other achievements. It's been a few years but I explicitly recall them covering Jefferson as an architect, his role in the founding of the country and the declaration, his many political positions, his role in westward expansion including the Lewis & Clark expedition and the Louisiana purchase, his family and many other topics about Jefferson. Yes, they do frequently mention slavery as well but slavery was highly critical aspect of his life and the country overall. To ignore or to gloss over it would be obscuring Jefferson's legacy. Examining his life is in many ways a microcosm for examining the country.

I'm not going to defend slavery...

You wrote that as the follow up sentence to one you wrote defending a slaver who raped his slaves, broke apart their families and subjected them to involuntary medical experimentation.

"From what I've read he took much better care of them than many others." Also Billjohnson

Records from the time are incomplete but Jefferson was perhaps the most prolific slaver alive at the founding of the US. The Declaration of Independence was a complete contradiction to how he lived his own life. It's not like the thought never occurred to Jefferson that slavery was abhorrent. His original draft of the Declaration called slavery the "cruel war against human nature."

Ben Franklin freed his slaves before the revolutionary war ended. Not Jefferson though. The reason slavery is mentioned so often at Monticello is because Monticello could not have existed without slavery. It was built and maintained by slaves. Slaves did the cooking, maintenance and agricultural work. Slaves played a bigger role in the existence of Monticello than Jefferson ever did. It may still exist today only because, unlike Washington who freed his slaves upon his death, Jefferson's slaves were sold to cover his debts.

Helen of Troy, a woman who was definitely white is going to be played by Lupita Nyong'o. And I've got nothing against Lupita but I do have a problem with the complete rewriting of history. - Newsmax Host Rob Finnerty

I'm really curious how many posters on this site agree with him.

"Maine Dems do not pick the 2nd most voted"

US Senate and state governor are two very different jobs. It is a fools errand to believe the person who finished 2nd in the choice for governor nominee is automatically the next best choice for US Senate. Shah has outstanding credentials in administration but he has no experience in law making. That is the area in which Jackson has thrived.

Platner is, as the kids say, cooked. He should drop out immediately so the party can officially start the business of selecting a replacement. My recommendation, Troy Jackson. He doesn't have the charisma of Platner but he's a known quantity in Maine politics having served in multiple terms in both the state house and senate. His politics are similar to Platner's so much so that they endorsed each other when Jackson was running for the Democratic primary nomination for governor in the recent election. He lost that one but it was a strange election with Jackson being one of 4 candidates to receive at least 20% of the first place votes in what was a ranked choice election.

Sometimes I love being right. Credit to the Democratic party of Maine for selecting an upstanding progressive. I would have said other options would be a toss up or likely loss but I think Jackson is likely to send Collins packing.

Paxton had to leave so he could give a sweetheart deal to a recently convicted pedo.

Anyone recall Trump claiming the plane was just being sent to Europe so US troops could tour it? If you didn't know he was lying about the reason he wasn't flying on it then you are a moron.

We will never see that plane used to fly another President again.

These people won't actually learn anything from Trump's destructive policies. They'll gladly embrace then next conman to comes along and feeds them the same lies.

Alternative headline: Trump raises taxes on Americans

The Trump's can't help but be drawn to pedo's and rapists. In wonder if there's any videos of any of the Trump's on Tate's phone.

If they are not here legally, I personally have no issue with their facing the consequences.
That's something liberals have lost sight of.

What about the million+ people targeted by ICE who entered the country legally and have built new lives for themselves here legally only to have Trump indiscriminately revoke protected status for refugees from their country of origin?

I checked into it. The 90% doesn't apply to all ICE detentions.
Judges have determined ICE has acted in excess of their authority though.
I said before I believe ICE did need to be reigned in.
I have also said in the past that those 2 particular deaths, they did accomplish what they wanted to do with their deaths.
The word martyr would apply, I guess.
I have no more to say here.

#56 | Posted by BillJohnson

Of course it's not all ice detentions. That's because ICE has been expediting deportations in order to deny people adjudication of their case.
You'll have no more to say here because you can't actually defend your position because your position is not aligned with reality.

John,
You simply can't equate these things you mentioned.
ICE is after people who are here illegally.
#23 | Posted by BillJohnson

Those are lies you have chosen to believe. If ICE was acting within the authority of the law then the DoJ wouldn't be losing 90%+ of detention cases. The truth is that ICE is acting illegally and has targeted many people who are in the country legally.

I agree 100% they would be alive if they had not needlessly chosen to challenge ICE.
They weren't even targets or who ICE was seeking, but inserted themselves into the situation.

Yeah...if they would have only stayed silent instead of exercising their constitutionally guaranteed rights to express their grievances to the government when an injustice occurs.

And no one would have died during the civil rights protests if people had just complied.
An no one would have died during the labor rights movement if people had just complied.
And no one would have died during the Revolutionary war if people had just complied with England.

The cowardness in your statement is remarkable. Are you actually an American?
