[QUOTE=ChrisP;2615891]Yeah, it's not like crane operators do anything worthwhile. California needs to give that money to Mexican / Guatemalan / Haitian /(insert shithole) illegals and government makework diversity hire employees.[/QUOTE]Once again, like a good little fascist, you miss the issue entirely.

The California fascist posted a typically BS lie about the cause of the port backlog in CA. The truth, which can be found in [B]industry publications[/B], explains the problem. Nowhere in those publications is the QOP BS mentioned.

The crane operator problem was mentioned in those pubs, by the way.

But, fascists prefer simple-minded answers. Thus, your answer.

Fascists would prefer to not get vaccinated so they can get fired and collect the unemployment they (and you) complain about. Or take one of those minimum-wage jobs they (and you) think everybody ought to be glad to have. Typical QOP short bus logic.

[QUOTE=MarquisdeSade1;2615900]He endorsed LOL (not that it ever had any value to anyone) a cocaine using race hustler from "the hood" in Chicago, over a decorated Vietnam vet and POW.

I hope he has fun rotting in hell, good riddance Rumsfeld Powell, now 43, Cheney and see Rice are way way overdo for their final exits.[/QUOTE]Actually, McCain tried desperately to get Powell's endorsement and lifelong Repub Powell was supposedly on the fence about it until McCain proved how cravenly power hungry he was to "win" at the grave expense of America when he chose numbskull Trump precursor numbskull Sarah Palin as his "one heartbeat away" from taking over from the elderly cancer patient at the top of the ticket.

As a lifelong Repub he knew very well and immediately recognized in her the America-hating "Frankenstein Monster" his Party had spent decades creating and nurturing.

Clearly, YOU felt badly burned by the endorsement and are still in pain over it, so it must have had tremendous value to YOU too. LOL.

But it was too late for Powell to stop the "Monster." Yeah, he endorsed Dems ever since, perhaps hoping to keep himself from rotting in the hell you mentioned for the horrific damage he did to America previously as a Genuine Republican appointed to an office of significant power.

[QUOTE=ChrisP;2615890]The real story in all of this is yet another fake news scam lie by omission.

The headlines scream "Dead of Covid!" yet the guy was 84 and suffering from advanced myeloma (cancer) so was sadly on the way out anyway.

But more importantly, given the fake news's emphasis on covid, none of them mentioned that he was double-vaxed. Classic omission of relevant facts to support The Narrative.

When you die of an illness you have been vaccinated against, what does that say about the "vaccine"? I don't hear of many measles or smallpox deaths these days.[/QUOTE]I did a Google Search on simply "Powell dies" and the links below were the first half dozen news reports that came up. If I had checked out the next half dozen I am pretty sure they would all have reported it the same way;.

Of "complications" of Covid, not of "Covid." And they are all quick to mention his age, his cancer and that he had been vaccinated, generally pointing out that he had been 'fully" vaccinated.

Do you have any links for the reports of Powell's death where none of those factors are mentioned? I'd love to finally see a shred of evidence for "The Narrative" of which you speak. Maybe I didn't dig deeply enough to unearth whatever weird blogs you've been reading.

He, of course, forgets that COVID has mutated so much (primarily because of anti-mask, anti-vax and anti-everybody-but-myself idiots) that it is now far more infectious to a wider range of people than the original strain.

But that's short bus fascist logic for you.

And the vax doesn't work either. It wears off after a couple of months. Completely useless.

So now the democrat / fake news plan is to enforce regular shots of their gene therapy for life, all monitored by a Big Brother-style "vaccine passport" that their fellow communists in the East German Stasi could only have dreamed of.

Their dream is of a society in which they control a mass of vaxed, chipped, masked serfs, having stripped away all of our constitutional freedoms (particularly the most important two: the First and Second Amendment), with endless third world illegal voters and fake rigged mail-in ballots to ensure their power forever.

Title: Increases in COVID-19 are unrelated to levels of vaccination across 68 countries and 2947 counties in the United States.

"At the country-level, there appears to be no discernable relationship between percentage of population fully vaccinated and new COVID-19 cases in the last 7 days (Fig. 1). In fact, the trend line suggests a marginally positive association such that countries with higher percentage of population fully vaccinated have higher COVID-19 cases per 1 million people. Notably, Israel with over 60% of their population fully vaccinated had the highest COVID-19 cases per 1 million people in the last 7 days. The lack of a meaningful association between percentage population fully vaccinated and new COVID-19 cases is further exemplified, for instance, by comparison of Iceland and Portugal. Both countries have over 75% of their population fully vaccinated and have more COVID-19 cases per 1 million people than countries such as Vietnam and South Africa that have around 10% of their population fully vaccinated."

This exhaustive study shows that the higher the level of vaccination, the more covid cases per million.

LOL.

What was it Jefferson said about the tree of liberty?[/QUOTE]I was arguing with this democrat on Quora who had the nerve to say that Republicans don't uphold the constitution but the Democrats do. I could not believe they could even think of something like that. I told the person that the democrats don't care about the 1st because they want to censor and ban everything, they also don't care about the 2nd obviously.

Some of these Democrats I argue with on Quora also think the Democrats are not trying to Ban guns, I mean how could they even think that.

I always call them out on so many things and never get any responses.

The best is the ones where they claim Trump lies all the time, I ask many of them to tell me some of these lies that Trump has made because I'm just not hearing them. The best answer from someone was he lied to people about that covid was not highly contagious to not cause a panic. OK, but geez, Trump did that purposely for a reason and that is the best they can tell me when they claim Trump lies all the time.

The other thing I have argued with so many people is that Trump told raffensperger to make up votes for him. They claim Trump saying "go find me XXX amount of votes means Trump committed a crime. To me it was obvious Trump was talking about finding illegal ballots. Even if Trump said to go find him ballots that is not even illegal. Even pressuring him is not illegal as Trump can pressure someone to go find fraud.

You have to understand that Democrats are Democrats because they lack any rational thinking. They clearly can't think rationally or they would be a democrat. Unless of course they specifically want democrat policies to turn USA into a communist country and like to see all of USA culture destroyed and replaced with 3rd worlders. They don't say this though, they think the Democrats are actually helping the country somehow. To me its clear as day that the democrats are changing the demographics of the USA into a country filled with mostly 3rd world people and this country will turn more third world.

The IQ level will dumb down, crime will rise, violence will increase and especially towards women, scientific achievements will decline, shortages will result, everyone will be poorer. This is what happens when you replace the demographics with dependent 3rd worlders, you turn the country into the country they left.

It's not really possible to miss it even if you are the laziest reader imaginable and, weirdly, expect all the peritinent and relevant details of a news report to somehow be jam packed into the headline.

LOL.[/QUOTE]Wouldn't you expect there to be a greater spread of any virus after more people are vaccinated and therefore drop or relax their previous mitigation efforts, open businesses and schools, begin to meet in crowded conditions again and so on? I would.

But that isn't what these vaccines were expected to prevent since the more virulent variants emerged. They are expected to prevent death or serious illness requiring hospitalization after being exposed to and acquiring the virus.

And they are accomplishing that latter goal quite effectively. Oh, except among the unvaccinated who are also dropping or relaxing the mitigation efforts as much or more than the vaccinated with, well, the predictable results.

Just sayin'.

Btw, are you worried that after Americans are transformed into subservient, unthinking, obedient slaves by wearing masks to help prevent the spread of an air borne deadly virus that they will then subserviently, unthinkingly and obediently vote for Dems in order to enjoy more Great Dem Economic Expansions and Historic USA Jobs Creation rather than subserviently, unthinkingly and obediently vote for Repubs in order to plunge us into more Great Repub Crashes, Recessions and Massive USA Job Destruction?

Damn, I hope you're right about that.

And he is still using his favorite short bus term "douche" to refer to anybody with a brain.

Chrissie, the king of the QOP short bus, says that the vaccine is worthless and that mutations of COVID don't matter. "Insofar as covid has "mutated" at all, it has nothing to do with masks or vax."

But even the article that he used to "prove" his lies said (bolding mine): "The sole reliance on vaccination as a primary strategy to mitigate COVID-19 and its adverse consequences needs to be re-examined, [B]especially considering the Delta (B.1.617.2) variant and the likelihood of future variants[/B]." says that his assertion is horsehockey.
