“Rights are just sooo inconvenient, amirite?”
He keeps talking about making America great, but to do so he’s sacrificing every part of America that was already great. I don’t know what it’s all in service of, what country is he trying to copy?
Maybe Russia, since they don’t have due process and are oligarch-run.
Like many things, this is actually Trump’s fault.
Netanyahu and the Israeli government work really hard at “bipartisan” support. They try to lobby (and bribe) members of both parties in the US and spread their influence around broadly. Trump tipped the scales by not only being hyper pro-Israel (and thus inviting Democrats to go the opposite direction) but he also publicly tweeted that Ilhan Omar and other Democrats should be banned from Israel and that Netanyahu is weak for not banning them. Netanyahu had planned to allow her and others in to keep the bipartisan lobbying going, but after Trump embarrassed him he cancelled their visas. It caused immediate blowback by Congress and damaged the bipartisan balance Netanyahu worked hard for decades on.
So of course this emboldened Netanyahu to ban others.
Supposedly she has a lot of homeland security protection. But not good enough to stop her stuff from being stolen?
Stop trying to pretend you can critically analyze whether any of these claims are valid or not. You’re selectively quoting experts who tell you what you want to hear and ignoring the more popular consensus that says you’re wrong.
Pandora’s box is opened, and once that happens, it’s almost impossible to close it. I’m going to be honest, the next election cycle, I’ll consider voting for the blue equivalent of Trump. Now that we know presidents can act like kings, it’s time progressives capitalized on that. Why not lock up rightwingers and hatemongers, slap tariffs on oil, and deport Zionists in order to fight Islamophobia?
We have plenty of evidence already, such as the positive cultures and the genomic ancestry, you just don’t like what it points to.
Not at all. You think animals naturally migrated on their own from the forest to the market and would leave a trail? Someone picked one up and brought it in a cage. It only takes one.
I love how everyone online is an armchair zoonotic expert. Your ideas are inexperienced.
The virus could have arrived there on the shoe of a lab worker
And it could have been sprayed by flying saucers. How is that any less probable?
You’re using the words without understanding virology or epidemiology or basic probabilities. We have evidence of prior outbreaks like SARS from the wild and positive cultures in the wet market are major pieces of evidence to back up the origin.
We already have plenty of evidence to conclude zoonotic origin. Bat RNA. Positive cultures in the wet market. Covid genome.
Unfortunately, yes there’s rightwing Star Wars fans. The GOP even made a video photoshopping DNC leaders at the imperial generals meeting on the Death Star and making Nancy Pelosi the person behind Darth Vader’s mask. They claim the Democrats are the evil empire and that republicans are the rebels.
This is the White House response, see if you can spot the fallacy: https://xcancel.com/realDonaldTrump/status/1913358867708493982#m
Democrats are dumb enough to think that the main problem is that Americans won’t elect a woman, and won’t try a third time. Then they’ll find someone conservative and claim this is the only way to win over Republicans.
