Otherwise, the GOP will have nothing to run on this midterm. Absolutely nothing.
Fuel prices may keep falling after Labor Day, could dip below $3 in some states
https://www.cnbc.com/2022/09/05/gaso...ndroidappshare
Labor Day is here and summer driving season is coming to an end, without the protracted period of super high gasoline prices some had feared.
Prices at the pump could continue their two-month decline. GasBuddy expects some states could see prices average even below $3 per gallon at some point later this year.
Analysts warn the outlook for gasoline prices could change at any point, particularly if there is a hurricane affecting the U.S. Gulf Coast or there is a spike in oil prices.

Dr. Fauci: "We don't have a fucking clue. But it all depends on how the virus spreads and we don't know anything about that".
Reporter: "What about tRUMP's 'bright light' theory"?
Dr. Fauci: "If shoving a lightbulbs up your ass floats your boat, do it. But you might want to be careful trying to sit down".
Reporter: "What about alternative treatments? "
Dr. Fauci: "Alternative treatments? Like massage? Like what? Who knows about alternative treatments. Maybe some work but maybe they don't. "
If Dr. Fauci would have said those things, you would have said something like "Expert? How can that be? He doesn't know anything. "
See, that's the problem here. If a subject-matter expert issues qualifying statements, they will soon be discounted as a subject-matter expert because of the qualifying statements. If they don't issue qualifying statements, then people will say they lied.
Sort of a no-win situation, wouldn't you say?

But none of the clowns qualified their statements when they made them. Chump, Biden, nor Fauci.
Chump didn't qualify his ridiculous claim that the vurus would be gone in X weeks, Biden didn't qualify his claim that you couldn; t catch the virus if you took the vaccine, and Fauci made countless unqualified claims. How do I know? Bcos I have watched them in uncut forms. They all make statements as if they are giving proclamations from on high.

LOL.

Oh, and FYI, re: Donnie the Dumbass's underatanding of viruses, etc. https://www.washingtonpost.com/polit...bbf_story.html.
"I like this stuff. I really get it," Trump boasted to reporters during a tour of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention in Atlanta, where he met with actual doctors and scientists who are feverishly scrambling to contain and combat the deadly illness. Citing a "great, super-genius uncle" who taught at MIT, Trump professed that it must run in the family genes.
"People are really surprised I understand this stuff," he said. "Every one of these doctors said, 'How do you know so much about this?' Maybe I have a natural ability."
But for members of the general public alarmed by more than 300 diagnosed cases in the United States — including at least 21 that his administration announced Friday were discovered on a cruise ship off the San Francisco coast — Trump's performance during an impromptu 45-minute news conference at CDC was not necessarily reassuring."

All of these statements are patently absurd, yet there are almost no RethugliKKKans who will argue against them.
When you're dealing with that kind of ignorance, you can't win. You just need to shake your head and wonder how some of these people manage to dress themselves. The scary thing is that they vote. Maybe we ought to go back to having an IQ test to get a ballot. The number of people voting RethugliKKKan would number in the single digits compared to the 81 million Democrats who'd receive a ballot.

Back to JKs superb analogy.
Let me phrase it this way.
"gun to your head" or not LOL.
Would you rather blow and swallow Chuck Schumer or Mitch McConnell?
Would you rather get fucked up the ass / no lube by Chuck or Mitch?
Would you rather deep rim Chuck or Mitch?
So no force involved, blindly voting for the policies of the DNC or GOP.
You are just picking between the choices above.
Chuck or Mitch what's your flavor?

Posts: 3338WTF do we do with people like you PVM?
So I read the stupid article you linked before, and it is written in August 2021.

In this case, he was referencing this headline in Vanity Fair. This was written four months after the BBC one you linked. The headline reads, In Major Shift, NIH Admits Funding Risky Virus Research in Wuhan.
https://www.vanityfair.com/news/2021...earch-in-wuhan
So you are and were completely wrong and now the question is WTF do we do with you? It would be easy if you just admitted you were wrong, but you never do that. It is "never mind" and off to the next topic. The government releases a narrative and you dumb Dems totally buy in and do so even after the government changes its mind.
You cannot admit Rand Paul was right about this and Fauci was lying. Why? Why do you guys have such a vested interest in going against EVERYTHING Rand Paul says or does? If a Democrat is right or doing something virtuous, I can say it.

The declaration says that lockdowns have adverse effects on physical and mental health, for example, because people postpone preventive healthcare.
The authors say that, instead of protecting everyone, the focus should instead be on "shielding" those most at risk, with few mandatory restrictions placed on the remainder of the population.
Yes, these are scientists concerned with how the government was acting, and the government "scientists", Frances Collins and Fauci, used government emails and told them to take these people down. Hell, the Biden administration asked Twitter to censor a user who named himself Fake Fauci.
Political takedowns are not science. Censorship is not science. And worst of all, Fauci is now lying and saying he was not in favor of lockdowns or shutting down schools.
There should be common ground in saying we do not want our tax dollars to be used to fund the creation of a super virus that killed millions and did trillions of dollars of damage. There should be common ground in saying which scientists were right and which ones were wrong. Why can you not say even that? The only thing I can guess is because it gets in the way of the narrative that the pandemic was all Trump's fault.
Implicit in these discussions just like with Trump and the FBI is that government bureaucrats are on your side. The FBI is great. The NIH is awesome. Isn't the only reason you think that is because you think that they are on your side? And if they are, then we Republicans should not be spending our tax dollars on them.
If you cannot even admit that tax dollars being spent on the creation of a super virus was bad, then we need to split the country in half. WTF else are we supposed to do with you people?
