Looting: You didn't build that, per your betters, including Warren, Obama..., never mind the risks, the debt, the long hours, the emotional investment, the stress.

Forgot to include, your creativity. You don't own that either.

That Biden is a decent person is indisputable anywhere outside the airless quarters of the most quarrelsome partisans.

Biden is the same pocket lining, family enriching, lying sack of dog crap that has stood at the top of the dem party for as long
as I have followed politics. And no, the other side isn't much better.

Anyone who can look at Biden putting his hands on a child and leaning over to sniff her hair and then call Biden a decent person does not understand the meaning of the word. Probably doesn't understand the meaning of the words integritiy, generosity, or responsibility, either.

I too am puzzled by the casual assumption that Biden is a decent fellow. I'm not seeing it. As Scott Adams keeps telling us, we're watching different movies.

Perhaps they mean "likable" instead of "decent." I've never met the man, but from how other people have reacted over the decades, I conclude he has "personal likability" down to a fine art. It's a useful skill for a politician.

Wuhan Flu exaggeration. I don't get this, what's different now? Who didn't know this by March? I have very little confidence in the American numbers or the data from other countries, for that matter. I think the authorities did a very poor job disseminating clear criteria from the get go, not to mention that political impetus to exaggerate or downplay the numbers.
That said, be careful you don't sound like the death toll doesn't matter because the deceased were old or had comorbidities. Not everyone, who died, was on their deathbed or even close to it.

OTOH, if the point of the article is that the extended lockdown was unnecessary, I certainly agree with that.

They had an agenda and objective and they weren't public health and safety related.

I'd like a straight answer from Democrats as to what they believe the limits of prosecutorial discretion are. In first DACA and now in the looting cases, they argue that it is virtually absolute - they do not have to prosecute cases even in the face of mountains of evidence. However, in the Flynn case, they argue that the prosecution has no ability to dismiss a case even if exculpatory evidence is found.

What is the consistent guiding principle, other than "we get to do what we want; you get to do what we want"?

re Confessions of a voter fraud: I was a master at fixing mail-in ballots

This will be a big problem - worse by far than Bush-Gore

Liberals Say Minnesota Is In Play

However . . . .

QUOTE:

. . . there is a major joker in the deck, in the form of the Democrats’ voter fraud strategy. In Minnesota, it will be a vote-by-junk-mail election, with possibly hundreds of thousands of ballots mailed out to people who have died, or moved away, or are not legal voters. The Democrats believe that many of these ballots will be fraudulently filled out and returned by their own partisans–the Democrats have eliminated the legal requirement of a witness signature for vote-by-mail ballots–while Republicans will follow the law. I think their calculation is correct, which means that any Republican will probably need a margin of thousands of votes statewide to overcome the Democrats’ voter fraud. In other words, voter fraud could well make the difference this year.

[i]"Now that the pandemic panic has abated in Sweden, that nation is returning to a debate over another important issue-- what to do about the crime wave unleashed by Muslim migrants. "[/]

I suspect that part of the problem in Sweden is that there is minimal assimilation of immigrants. I have been reading a book by Ciro Bustos (Che Wants to See You), an Argentine lefty who took refuge in Sweden from the military regime in his country. After four decades in Sweden, Ciro Bustos writes that his social circle consists of Latin American refugees- no Swedes.

I keep a pretty close watch on what is going on, choosing reliable sources for my information. I watched the entire Republican convention and found the message to be positive, optimistic and honest. Of course there was messaging warning what would happen under a radical leftist platform led by Pelosi, Schumer, the (((Squad))) and Harris.

The utter hubris of the author after the Democrats convention offering nothing but fake blather about how nice their senile candidate is, and how awful, terrible no good Orange Man Bad is. What a joke!

That bilge from The Hill can only have been written by someone deep in the throes of TDS whose sources are dwelling there with her.
