A very small microcosm of this phenomenon was exhibited right around the election:

  • Through October and up until the election, ramping up, spikes and covid despair, reversion to previous open-up phases, the works.
  • The election happens on Nov. 3 with no clear winner.
  • The race is officially called for Biden on Saturday November 7th.
  • Then first thing Monday morning on November 9th, the reports came out of vaccines done and being ready for prime time, way ahead of any prior mentioned potential schedule. Everything was rosy and looking good.
  • Then Trump doesn't immediately concede as anticipated, all of a sudden it's back to covid spikes, outbreaks, horrid outlooks again,

Who cares? What good is concrete proof if no one will listen?

I am officially apathetic to and and all other disclosures like this.

Where are you getting this data? From here, it shows Altuve hit .311 at home and .381 on the road:

Furthermore, the 2017 Astros performed better on the road in virtually every single offensive category:

The 2017 Astros are horrible cheating trash, but this doesn't prove it.

At first glance I thought that was Karl's brother who had his neck broken in Die Hard. "The fire has been called off, my friend."

What other subs did was have a weekly "skeptics" thread, where counter opinions could be expressed but contained in a single area.

I'd love to add to the left side, "Company in charge of tabulating 10's of millions of votes is literally missing"

Another important point, I see a lot of doomers/shills claiming if the envelopes are missing during discovery, nothing can be proven. That's not the way this works. Look up "adverse inference", its a real legal concept. It basically states that if specific evidence is deemed missing or destroyed under suspicious circumstances, you are legally allowed to assume that it leads to the worst possible outcome.

No it's based on which way the money is falling. They constantly adjust the line to ensure half the money falls on either side. That way no matter what, the house takes their cut and profits regardless of outcome.

I try constantly to use PV videos to make points, and I always get "PV are known criminal conspirators with debunked stories (i.e., ACORN)". Criminal, I guess, because they trespassed one time, or something? I don't know enough about the ACORN story to know better.

Would love to have a response in my quiver to the above.

Honestly, I stopped trying to argue the tax cuts with people 2 years ago for this very reason, simply because democrats aren't capable of knowing the difference between tax return and tax refund, and couldn't understand that even though their refund might have been lower as a result, because they were paying less taxes throughout the entire year, their overall tax burden was lower. But, but, muh refund!

It inevitably never failed, depending on who you asked, the trump supporters always saw a tax reduction, while non-supporters never did, because orange man bad.

May be just a coincidence, but I thought this would be getting more traction and recognition, seeing as it correctly predicted the fate of many US cities long before COVID, Floyd, Blake, etc...

I had a disagreement with a friend this weekend specifically regarding point #4. His stance was that backgrounds and prior transgressions were brought up strictly to justify police misconduct and "deserved" deaths. My argument was that when you simply limit descriptions to incidents like these to "police kill black man", that artificially plots the point at an extreme location on the social-political spectrum. What bringing everything else up does, is not defame or justify the action, but puts the incident in the proper context for critical analysis.

And when you do that, you see that it has little to do with race, and more to do with other circumstances such as resisting, warrants, etc.
