If there really was a sane faction left in the Dem party, they would play grudging acceptance of Bernie so Socialism would be the big loser in this election and they could purge that bunch. Because they have no winner at all.

He was anti religion, lumped it all as superstition, the book is about those terrible days before science could show how useless religion was as a life guide, and this quote is his fear that knowledge will be corrupted by laziness (one of the sins in most religions) and self centeredness (another unuversal sin). Which shows me that he doesn't understand all the functions of religion, or even that religion could complement science.

I watch both sites for signs of movement and I think you are right. More people here post more stories which draws more interest, and it starts to snowball. Big rise in upvotes here and less fluctuation in votes there indicate fewer shills too.

Elderly people with one lung shouldn't be out virtue signalling their solidarity with the masses during flu season, period.

Of course not, Jesus is focused on the heavenly kingdom, not earthly opinions. And the Iranian ambassador to the Vatican just died. Francis, out there schmoozing and kissing feet, could be spreading it.

Thanks. How? I tried my reddit address and got page not found, even though it had quite a few text characters for not being there.

Trump kicked him out in 2015 already. Stone was also kicked out of Dole's campaign, and not much help to Reagan or Nixon either. Always hanging out with the big dogs but more of an ankle biter, looks like.

Eight out of ten is a big majority. Ostracizing only works if the other 20% are total dictators controlling all the money. China, cough cough.

Now in Bloomberg we have the perfect answer to the charge of scummy NY businessman. He's far nastier.

The left hasn't got anything except negativity. It is terrible that it takes people sick and dying all over the world to wake people up to big downsides of globalization.

How can markets not be affected when China has taken such a pause in production?

Navarro was excellent and concise. He neither promised all will be well, which no one can predict about an illness so recent, nor did he threaten disaster. He just reported on what is being done and this is reassuring, the potential patient needs to feel that someone cares and is trying.Trump may be physically out of the country but I don't think he misses much or is helpless because of that.

Too early. It only was obvious in January, it just seems like forever.

I'll play devil's advocate. She has to know China is lying and everyone in the world is condemning them for downplaying what people there obviously see as a terrible disaster. If I were running the CDC I'd know I'd be despised for every shortcoming or false hope and I too would be telling people to prepare for the worst, the same way doctors warn people before surgery about possible bad outcomes. At this point it is obvious the virus is spreading, no one is going to believe a super rosy picture.

And Zero plagiarized Deval Patrick. Our DS agencies lack creativity.

It could be a good way to escape being a figurehead nominee with a murderous VP... But I think he does have a memory problem after past injury (aneurysms), 30 years of DC cocktail circuit, general age. Being on the road is disorienting anyway after a while.
