US Election 2020

[AlmightyBender]

What I got is the actual deaths each country had measured on a per capita basis. You know comparing apples with apples. Posted above.

Yeah boet, even with that stat USA is like in the top five/ten of the worst. You realize that ALL the countries at the top of that list is doing a bad job?
You realize that saying USA is doing a bad job is not the same as saying everyone else is doing a good job?

You're trying to frame this that only the country with the absolute top deaths per capita is the only one doing a bad job. This is irrational. They are ALL doing a bad job, USA included.

This thread is about USA so go figure.

He swears:

I do solemnly swear that I will faithfully execute the Office of President of the United States, and will to the best of my Ability, preserve, protect and defend the Constitution of the United States.

The Constitution of the United States which starts:

We the People of the United States, in Order to form a more perfect Union, establish Justice, insure domestic Tranquility, provide for the common defence, promote the general Welfare, and secure the Blessings of Liberty to ourselves and our Posterity, do ordain and establish this Constitution for the United States of America.

establish Justice

insure domestic Tranquility

provide for the common defence

promote the general Welfare

secure the Blessings of Liberty to ourselves and our Posterity

Hope that helps.

"To the best of my abilities"

There's the loophole. Or are you saying Trump is more competent?

"To the best of my abilities"

There's the loophole. Or are you saying Trump is more competent?

So, you're *also* saying he has no ability...

We agree.

Hallelujah!

EDIT: Also, imagine if you will, thinking the oath a new POTUS takes, with his hand on a bible, includes a loophole for mediocrity. For inferiority...

Imagine posting it so other folk can read it.

Imagine it.

Guest lists include Sam Alito and Neil Gorsuch...

Pompeo's elite taxpayer-funded dinners raise new concerns

State Department officials involved in the dinners said they had raised concerns internally that the events were essentially using federal resources to cultivate a donor and supporter base for Pompeo's political ambitions — complete with extensive contact information that gets sent back to Susan Pompeo's personal email address. The officials and others who attended discussed the dinners on condition of anonymity.

An NBC News investigation found that Pompeo held about two dozen Madison Dinners since he took over in 2018. NBC News obtained a master guest list for every dinner through the end of 2019, as well as internal State Department calendars from before the pandemic emerged, showing that future dinners were on the books through at least October. The master list includes the names of nearly 500 invitees and specifies who accepted, although it is possible some people RSVP'd but didn't show up in Foggy Bottom for dinner.

The records show that about 29 percent of the invitees came from the corporate world, while about a quarter of them hailed from the media or entertainment industries, with conservative media members heavily represented. About 30 percent work in politics or government, and just 14 percent were diplomats or foreign officials. Every single member of the House or the Senate who has been invited is a Republican.

Florida scientist: I was fired for refusing to manipulate coronavirus data

She says she was ordered to “manually change data to drum up support for the plan to reopen.”

Florida scientist: I was fired for refusing to manipulate coronavirus data


In her job as a Geographic Information Systems manager, Jones created a widely praised interactive coronavirus dashboard for Florida, which tracked the pandemic in real time. However, she told CBS12 News this week, she was removed from her position after being ordered to “manually change data to drum up support for the plan to reopen.” On Monday, she said, the Department of Health offered her the option in a settlement to resign effective next week instead of being fired.

Now do the 6 900 000 absentee ballot applications Republican Brian Kemp's Republican Secretary of State sent to voters in Georgia.

He seems to be pivoting left on quite a few things. I'm pleasantly surprised.

Now we wait for the rebuttal that hillary paid her to lie.

94 507

You'll recognise this:



You might have been there for the opening game of the 2010 World Cup, when Siphiwe scored and Marquez made us groan. Maybe you were there for the final when Iniesta won it for Spain.

Maybe you watched U2 there, maybe Coldplay, maybe Ed Sheeran, hell, maybe One Direction... Me, the Peppers, the Foo Fighters and Springsteen.

It seats 94 736 folk...



94 507

229 open seats.



Then, this is Dr Frank Gabrin.

Frank survived two heart attacks but he didn't survive the coronavirus. He was the first ER doctor in the US to die from the virus... 12 Days before his death he told friends there weren't enough tests, and that he was wearing his mask for the fourth day in a row.

His husband was with him when he died on March 31st.

Trumpists: Why did the Obama admin not leave a pandemic playbook?

Everyone else: Here's the playbook they left. Also, the response team y'all gutted.

*probably

It's entirely possible that Ron Johnson is dumb enough to actually believe this stuff, like Devin Nunes. Doesn't get that you're just supposed to lie and pretend to believe it.

Polling is again pretty much meaningless, because their methodology is wrong as you correctly point out.

It doesn't make polling meaningless. They're as useful and relevant as ever. They just don't do what people who don't understand how they work think they do.

lolwut

Ya, this is a particularly lazy trolling attempt by trollrot.

Just straight up TDS.

I don't care if Donnie brags about the absolute number of test the US has conducted, because unlike you I don't have TDS.

Comparing deaths of different countries on a per capita basis is the statistically correct thing to do. It has nothing to do with deflecting or Trump. Don't bring your TDS into it.

Oh, you definitely have TDS.

Per capita is a meaningless stat for tracking a virus outbreak. Viruses don't spread uniformly through populations, they spread depending on how people behave/react to it.

The only relevance population size has is it represents an absolute ceiling for infections/deaths.

You see, it's such a big nothingburger, which is why the Trump admin is going to the Supreme Court to block any information about it coming out.

Supreme Court blocks House from Mueller grand jury material

WASHINGTON (AP) — The Supreme Court on Wednesday temporarily prevented the House of Representatives from obtaining secret grand jury testimony from special counsel Robert Mueller's Russia investigation. The court's unsigned order granted the Trump administration's request to keep previously...
