Would not surprise me one bit if we start hearing stories of assholes using this as an excuse to kill their neighbors’ pets, studies or lack thereof be damned

You already have people burning 4G towers since they believe that 5G is causing the virus to spread. Why 4G? Cause they have no 5G towers yet, and people bitches about when media remove posts saying 5G is causing the virus spread since it is 'violating their freedom of speech'
Who needs ISIS when you have people like this:

Let me ask you this then: Did you believe Kavanaugh's accusers when their claims of rape from Kavanaugh came out? I'm not going for a whataboutism here, just want to see what differences, if any, you have between Kavanaugh's and Biden's accusers given the number of similarities there are in terms of testimony, as well as the people who initially broke the story.
Since you asked, some of the stories seemed credible and some didn’t. That’s one of the more interesting and yet frustrating aspects of true vs false allegations. For some people it’s an expression of a deeply held secret, reliving the worst and most awful experience of their lives.
for others it’s a quick chuckle, a shot at 15 minutes of fame, and/or a way to score political points.
you take accusations seriously. But seriously doesn’t mean with breathless wild eyed belief without stopping to consider the validity of claims vs the salaciousness of such.
I can agree with that, but I think simply dismissing the claim with a single statement from Biden and nothing else isn't the way to approach this. Biden faces increased scrutiny because of his past statements on similar deals, so the lack of any mainstream vetting looks bad for Biden. Could it be hogwash? Sure, but not pursuing this makes it easier for people to say that the MeToo and other movements to try and get justice for rape victims are simply political tools used to criticize an enemy, especially when advocates delete previous statements calling for the same actions taken against Kavanaugh that could implicate the same treatment needed for Biden.

Well he already said that when he said that it's perfect fine to have 100k die and his cronies say that the elderly should sacrifice themselves for capitalism.
Still amazes me that said elderly are some of his most reliable voters...

I think they are actually thinking that it is good for the country if the elders die off, solving the problem of aging population.
The problem there is that the elderly are part of the workforce here, much like in Japan and China, and in similar industries... and just like in Japan, their government doesn't want to solve that problem through the only really viable solution: immigration.
Put another way, population growth via birth here in the US is fueled by immigrants and ethnic minorities, especially the poorly educated. The poorer a group is, the fewer babies they have and the more likely they are to have abortions. Likewise the better their education level, as such individuals are more likely to focus on their careers first and families later, especially if they have crippling college debt.
Those demographic shifts hit Reps in the nuts time and again.

Which is why I still think it is stupid and immoral to do what the Brits called herd immunity, when you do not even have a working vaccine for it. What they are doing is plain murder, and showing that they don't give a fuck about people's lives. At least Bojo is now the vanguard of his attempt.
Ahhhh, but it's perfectly moral... if you're an Objectivist. It's not a big secret that Ayn Rand's ideas had a big influence on conservative politics here. Mostly in allowing for a justification to be completely selfish and transactional in everything as a "valid" code of ethics and morality.
Not many would openly claim it now, I suspect, but the mark the philosophy left on policy remains.
In related news, prepare for this thing to wreck Japan. Abe's not demanding people stay home or giving the authority to do so, and Japan has a lot if old people.

How willing are you guys willing to pay 12-20% more on you taxes for M4A?
Very. And it's a net cost savings anyway in terms of out of pocket expenses, but even if it weren't the answer would be yes.
Boris Johnson on ICU. Here's hoping for speedy recovery from hospital and straight to funeral.
