1st Night of the DNC Convention

I’m not sure how any reasonable person could read this memo and believe sending Covid positive patients to nursing homes is a prudent decision

https://www.cms.gov/newsroom/press-...sures-protect-nursing-home-residents-covid-19
At the time they hadn't confirmed dormant transmission yet, so they believed if they contained those who they thought were non-contagious they would have more room for the serious cases. (Although I do remember it being suspected at about that time) Still, bad critical thinking, but also bad direction.

It's like a General ordering the charge of the light brigade and then blaming the officers that led the charge.

It’s like you didn’t even read the actual guidance I linked.

Congress sets tax law.
Now those products are made here, by us
It's as if you think there was a real and significant shift in the manufacturing industry. It did not change in any significant way, no matter how much Trump wants to brag on insignificant micro changes in a macro world.
 
Check the confidence from the stock market. The market doesn't cate about politics; it is driven by dollars, profits, productivity,.

GDP.

Unemployment numbers.

I read it. They were trying to limit contact from outside the facilities because they didn't know who was presymptomatic. What they didn't know about on the same day was that there was such a thing as asymptomatic transmission... so they sent out this memo that said:

When should a nursing home accept a resident who was diagnosed with COVID-19 from a hospital? A nursing home can accept a resident diagnosed with COVID-19 and still under TransmissionBased Precautions for COVID-19 as long as the facility can follow CDC guidance for Transmission-Based Precautions. If a nursing home cannot, it must wait until these precautions are discontinued. CDC has released Interim Guidance for Discontinuing Transmission-Based Precautions or In-Home Isolation for Persons with Laboratory-confirmed COVID-19. Information on the duration of infectivity is limited, and the interim guidance has been Page 5 of 6 developed with available information from similar coronaviruses. CDC states that decisions to discontinue Transmission-based Precautions in hospitals will be made on a case-by-case basis in consultation with clinicians, infection prevention and control specialists, and public health officials. Discontinuation will be based on multiple factors (see current CDC guidance for further details).

Note: Nursing homes should admit any individuals that they would normally admit to their facility, including individuals from hospitals where a case of COVID-19 was/is present. Also, if possible, dedicate a unit/wing exclusively for any residents coming or returning from the hospital. This can serve as a step-down unit where they remain for 14 days with no symptoms (instead of integrating as usual on short-term rehab floor, or returning to long-stay original room).
 
There is not a single thing in there which mandates nursing homes take Covid positive patients. “Nursing homes can” is quite different than “nursing homes shall”. Cuomo took it upon himself to issue such a mandate. This is on him and only him.
 
Lol.... hey, he cheated on his wife and she stayed with him... seems like he might know something some divorcees don't.

(Biting lower lip) (engaging quavering voice).... "fine.. divorce me.. the people will still love me and you wont even sniff the nomination... and dont even think about offing me like MacDougle.. there are a thousand letters out there with the locations of the bodies you've buried... all waiting for me to stop breathing.. now go out there like a good dog and tell the world you forgive me and Al Gore is your man in 2000"...

Why were there no protesters at the Democrat Convention. They were all busy at their jobs.
as opposed to the protestors at the Republican convention who don't have to be home til the first to get their government check.
 
what is a proud boy. are the main stream like blm, antifa, occupy wallstreet, metoo,

Pro-Trump neo-fascists group that goes in to incite violence using violence at protests when not parading with white supremacists groups in the south.

They are basically one of Trumps indirectly controlled paramilitary wings. Kind of like the Nazi SA minus the brown uniforms, wooden batons, and the armbands, but replaced with riot gear, bandanas and semi automatic assault rifles.

Those groups are wholely unrelated. metoo is a twitter trend not a physical organization of people and it was never violent. Occupy wall street was 10+ years ago, and it largely wasn't violent, it was also made up of a lot of libertarian conservatives.
 
Trump sending Federal Troops to Wisconsin.
Guess he's wanting Portland II.

He's really trying to bend and break the rules on Federal law enforcement so he can run the US as a police state and run for a 3rd term if he is re-elected for a 2nd.
 
Or maybe he’s trying to stop a situation where so many people are walking around with assault weapons that multiple police rushing to a shooting walk right by the shooter, openly carrying the asssult weapon, with his hands in the air, a block away and minutes from the shooting, because they assume he’s just another guy on the street with an AR.

The activities last night are concerning. I have very mixed feelings on the kid who shot multiple people and the situation in general. On one hand, the kid probably was truly scared for his life in an area with an angry mob and there was little he could do to get away. On the other hand... he was carrying a rifle that he wasn't old enough for and he crossed state lines to be a "militia" member trying to intimidate people from looting or rioting. A kid that age has neither the duty nor the authority to do that. You can't even join the military at that age without written parental consent.

I'm starting to think there needs to be a federal law disallowing any person intent on acting as an armed militia member from crossing into another state without receiving prior formal approval / direction from the federal government. I see the reason for people to defend their homes or the property of their immediate neighbors, but I don't see the reason for someone from one or several states away who has no immediate connection to the community doing so. That's the reason these areas have police. That's why we have the national guard, or even local militias that have a responsibility to their community.

I don't support the looting and rioting, but the militarization and indoctrination of the common citizen just makes things worse and it's leading to more violence. These kinds of things are how civil wars start.

Just so it doesn't seem like I'm favoring the rioters, I would also think about federal penalties for those protesters who cross state lines and are caught participating in violence / destruction. I think you should be able to march on Washington, but I don't think you should be allowed to tear down the Washington monument (unless we're in such a severe dystopia that it's actually reasonable)

To give the government the power to regulate where and how protesters / militia can go also and act also scares me though as I think there are certain extremely rare (dystopian) situations where violent revolution is justifiable, and that might inhibit the citizenry's ability to cast off an oppressive regime. I wish they would just fix the frigging issues with crappy cops so people wouldn't feel the need to protest / riot.

I agree with this.
 
Welcome to the dystopia then. I have numerous former students on my social media who have openly callEd for the “overthrow” of the government and the elimination of the Washington monument from the Mall. And other measured statements from normally sane people with houses and good jobs who are 25-35.
Their statements get hundreds of likes. Most of y’all live in the middle of the country. You don’t see regular every day people working 9 to 5 standing around the water cooler or chatting in zoom before the meeting starts saying either/or/both that if they don’t get whatever it is they are complaining about (job, raise, healthcare, housing, retirement, student loan forgiveness, etc) right the eff now for free then they are perfectly fine with burning everything we have down. But I’m seeing it everyday.
 
The national media over hyped Seattle and Portland. Six city blocks each city. Send in the feds, ramp it up and make fabuloso Fox TV. But you guys are experts on everything far away, but no one up here wanted any feds.

We can handle our own sh!t.

Then stop trying to burn down your courthouse and stop permanently blinding police officers
 
When she was da, didn't kamala want to prosecute the Whistle-blower on planned parenthood, and then protected the impeachment whistle blower?
 
The Whistleblower Protection Act of 1989, 5 U.S.C. 2302(b)(8)-(9), Pub.L. 101-12 as amended, is a United States federal law that protects federal whistleblowers who work for the government and report the possible existence of an activity constituting a violation of law, rules, or regulations, or mismanagement,

Planned Parenthood said in a statement that the jury had ruled in its favor on each of its claims, including a violation of the Racketeer Influenced and Corrupt Organizations Act.
 
Nice CNN talking points. Have you checked the unemployment numbers (pre covid) , gdp, stock matket, ...

Take out Covid and the recovery from the Bush recession for an apples to apples comparison:

During the last three years of the Obama administration GDP growth averaged 2.4%. During first three years of Trump administration (pre-covid) GDP growth averaged 2.5%. Trump claimed tax bill would create 4% growth. More jobs were created in last three years of Obama presidency than in first three years of Trump's.
