Of course, now that trump is there and able to Weaponize the DOJ as he has talked about.

Of course, the idea of weaponizing the DOJ is very different for trump. For him weaponizing is going after him, even though he is a known fraud and cheater. He's going to change that to go after people who are doing their job, if their job happened to involve holding him accountable for his actions.

The complete absence of certain folks posting on this thread noq is VERY telling of the realization that is just beginning in their brains.

The game is over. Folks like Musk and Vivek now own the Presidency and our entire government. Trump has neither the power nor the will to push back against them now.

Keep thinking that way as that's a sure fire way to regain power.

The US is simply following the Western World's general rejection of governments ruled by Elites with their excessive regulations, wokeness, nanny state rule making, green agenda and open borders. You see this change throughout Western Europe and Canada. A lot of this is in reaction to the heavy handedness of these governments during COVID. Normal people of the World Unite!

What is the net worth of Trump’s appointees? Exactly what do you consider “elite?”

I am not following this issue closely so I might be off base here but don’t DA’s typically work with the DOJ to target folks they believe have committed crimes?

Two things to keep in mind.

1. Ramrouser has no clue how the judicial process works. If he's being honest that he's a lawyer, and that's a big if, he's a family lawyer, which means he's about as disconnected from the judicial system as he can get.

2. Ramrouser's salary is being paid by Ray Smith, who was indicted by Fani Willis for attempting to overturn the 2020 election in Georgia by fraudulently soliciting "alternative" delegates to assign Georgia's electoral votes to Trump.

So when you think about the worst possible attorney in the world, completely bereft of any morals or principles, that's Ramrouser. Assuming he's not just a flat-out liar, that is.

Exactly, that's why that statement makes no sense. These people that claim to be against elites voted in an elite who has appointed over 17 billionaires to his administration. Really, people believe they were voting against elites? It's not showing.

yeah man, all of those red states that led the country in per capita death rates really crushed it.

U.S. COVID death rate by state 2023 | Statista

As of March 2023, Arizona had the highest COVID death rate in the U.S., with 455 deaths per 100,000 population. Hawaii had the lowest death rate.

It's not that simple.

Utah is the third lowest death rate on your list.

Nebraska was 12th lowest.

Every state that didn't have a lockdown was better than Arizona, which had the worst per capita death rate and locked down.

a lot of it is that simple, though. the upper half of the list is mostly red states that instituted no or half-assed safety measures.

regarding AZ: Coronavirus: Things US has got wrong - and right
"In the two-month period after Governor of Arizona Doug Ducey abruptly ended Arizona's statewide lockdown on May 15, 2020, the seven-day moving average of new COVID-19 cases in Arizona soared, from an average of 377 cases per day to 3,249 cases on July 15. On July 8, Arizona reported as many new cases of COVID-19 as the entire European Union, while having 1/60th of the population."

Wow, we can agree on something.

This isn't some single variable debate, it was and is very very complicated.

There is no smoking gun. Based on your earlier comments, why are the 7 states that didn't lock down the lowest in death rate per capita? Shouldn't they be if the lock downs were not needed? Why wasn't California the top of this list? They have the greatest population, and they locked down? Think Hawaii being at the bottom has anything to do with their natural distancing?
 
But, generally, would you agree that the vast majority of the states on the lower end tend to be blue states and more likely to lockdown, whereas the vast majority of red states were on the higher end regarding death totals?

You have no idea what you're talking about so you just keep on spouting lies about me and my colleague:

1. My practice encompasses a broad range of civil cases including family law. In my years of practice I've represented clients in almost all types of civil cases in state and Federal courts, excluding bankruptcy and most plaintiff's personal injury cases.

2. No one is paying me a salary as I am self employed and have been so for most of my career. This lawfare "indictment" you keep referring to, and appear to be obsessed with, is now on life support and soon will be dead. Now, the prosecutor is going to be investigated and I'm going to enjoy every minute of it since she's made a joke of Fulton County's DA's office. At least in your latest post you've ceased calling my colleague, by name, a felon when he most certainly is not.

I have no idea why you continue to constantly post lies about me and my professional practice simply because we have political differences. But hey, if that entertains you on a Friday.....
 
it appears we need a separate thread for relitigating covid responses.

i would point out that the anti-public health crowd tends to focus almost entirely on death tolls and their own inconvenience. hey, you know who else matters? doctors and nurses. many, many doctors and nurses retired or left the profession because of covid burnout. imagine the stress if the curve hadn't been flattened by social distancing. but maga doesn't care about them.

and basically, my position about vaccines is this: vaccines are the greatest public health innovation ever. unlike almost every other aspect of our health care system, the supply of vaccines is more or less unlimited. when you see a doctor, you are using time that could be used to see other patients, you are consuming scarce resources in a system defined by scarcity. that isnt true of vaccines.

so if you dont get a vaccine (unless you have a strong justification), then you should forfeit the right to medical treatment for that condition. that choice was on you. we shouldn't let you consume scarce public resources because you are too much of a scared-of-shots whiners (this is surely more common than maga will admit), ignorant fool, and/or lazy ass to get an arm prick that takes 20-30 minutes tops with wait.

The security for that march will be provided by a combination of Boston Dynamics robots and Tesla robots.

You're an embarrassment to the legal profession. I have no idea why you continue to debase yourself by admitting your absolute contempt for basic ethics, but you do you, I guess. The rest of us will try to do enough good to cover for the damage you've done.

This is another situation where two things can be true at the same time. One truth, likely based on what we saw happening in Italy early in the pandemic, is that there was overreaction on the part of federal, state and local governments. Overreaction in the form of unnecessary lockdowns in areas where it wasn't necessary. Overreaction in the form of constructing large, temporary hospital expansions with the expectation of mass hospitalizations that never came to fruition. Overreaction in the form of discharging military personnel who wouldn't get the vaccine. The big one, at least for me, was the federal government's attempt to use OSHA to force 80 million Americans to get vaccinated.

The other truth is that some lives were possibly saved by the measures taken. Were a lot of lives saved? Probably not because Covid ended up not being nearly as deadly as we thought, but I think social distancing, lockdowns, etc probably saved some lives that may have been lost to select hospitals being overwhelmed.

Hopefully, we learned from the mistakes of Covid and will handle the next dangerous pandemic a little better.

Your grasp of best practices in immunology and public health seems even weaker than that of the esteemed Dr Lynch. Impressive.

At this point it would be interesting to compile a list of legacy and social media sites that could still be classified as liberal-leaning or even centrist-leaning, and compare it with all of the pro-Trump right-wing networks, including legacy networks that have moved right in the past few years, like Politico, the WaPo, and LA Times. My guess is that the list of truly centrist or left-leaning networks (especially those that are willing to challenge Trump) is growing awfully thin.

Don't worry, Kash has made his own list.
