flu doesn't kill 290,000. The bad flu season a few years ago was like 80,000. They usually say it has about a 0.1% death rate, which would give 38,000 for those 38M cases in 2019

Doesn't have the one about food stamps. And some of the stimulus ones are slightly different. Doesn't have "the 1400" or "the 2000"

Two extremely easy steps to drop deaths by police by more than 99%

  1. Don't be a violent criminal

  2. Don't resist arrest.

The potential misinformation is that she was pregnant. The rest is true. I think people assumed she was pregnant because he stuck the gun to her stomach. But other people say she wasn't pregnant because the police report doesn't say anything about her being pregnant. I think it's really not known for sure either way

True that I don't know that all 66,194 ended up registered, but I'm just saying that this number isn't "unregistered ballots", it's the number of ballots that were cast by people that weren't registered as of October 12th, which is pretty meaningless for showing fraud since saying they registered from October 12th-November 3rd is a reasonable explanation

Ballots from people who weren't in the registered voter database (on October 12th though)

Since Michigan has same day registration, all this is saying is that about 2.4% of voters in those 9 counties registered sometime between October 12th and November 3rd.

Ballots not found in the October registration database, which looks like it's from the 12th. Election was in November, and Michigan allows same day registration. This just means that about 2.4% of voters registered between October 12th and November 3rd. Is that a lot? Seems reasonable.This is probably a nothingberger

Getting a chance to serve on the Chauvin jury was the reason this young woman registered to vote,

She was just talking about jury duty in general. She even says "I didn't know what it was, I didn't care what it was, I was just excited to be summoned".

Description above isn't really accurate. She was saying she votes because she wants to be called for jury duty. It wasn't about this specific jury.

Here's one

https://medalerts.org/vaersdb/findfield.php?IDNUMBER=989006

Age: 58

Vaccinated: 2021-01-30

Onset: 2021-01-30

Date died: 2021-01-30

After being observed for approximately 20 minutes and patient walked to her car without assistance I was called to assess the patient in the parking lot for troubles breathing. EMS was called as I made my way outside. Upon my arrival patient was leaning out of the car and stating that she could not breath. She was able to tell me that she was allergic to penicillin. Oxygen was immediately placed on the patient with minimal relief. Lung sounds were coarse throughout. She then began to vomit about every 20-30 seconds. Epipen was administered in the right leg with no relief. Patient continued to complain of troubles breathing and vomiting. A second epipen was administered in the patients right arm again with no relief. A few minutes later patient was given racemic epinephrine through the oxygen mask. There appeared to be mild improvement in her breathing as she appeared more comfortable, but still complaining of shortness of breath and vomiting. When EMS arrived patient was unable to transport herself to the stretcher. When EMS and clinical staff transferred patient to the stretcher she became unresponsive. She appeared to still be breathing. She did not respond to verbal stimuli. Per ED report large amount of fluid was suctioned from the patients lungs following intubation in the ambulance. When patient arrived to the ED she was extubated and re-intubated without difficulty and further fluid was suctioned. At that time patient was found to be in PEA, shock was delivered. Shortly thereafter no cardiac activity was found and patient pronounced dead.

That's obviously not true. Maybe it's something like that for people in federal prison, which is limited to murders in certain situations, and is just a tiny percent of the overall murders.

The Senate just passed the updated version (the reinstated pipeline was a proposed amendment that did not pass, so it's not in there). Now it goes to the House for a vote.

Longer version (not 100% sure this is accurate, but I'm going with it until somebody corrects me): The original House bill needed 60 votes in the Senate to pass, but they could pass it with a simple majority through a process called reconciliation, but it is only allowed for bills regarding taxes and spending. This is why the minimum wage part got removed. But then they can propose whatever amendments they want to add to the bill and vote on those (with the ones related to taxes/spending needing a majority to pass, and the others needing 60 to pass). So Bernie proposed the $15 minimum wage to get added back in, but it was voted down (only got 42 votes). Some Republican Senator proposed approving the pipeline, and it got voted down (but actually received a majority 51-48). And a whole bunch of other amendments got proposed, which were mostly voted down. After all that, the Senate voted and approved the revised bill along party lines, which is what just happened. Now the House votes on this bill.

It's approaching the Covington kids level of overreaction over nothing.

Well the official CDC covid death rate isn't 0.017%. Not even close. I think that may be the CDC's estimated death rate for the 18-29 age group. Last CDC estimate I saw for overall was something like 0.5%

The impeachment conviction doesn't directly ban him running again. They must then hold a separate vote to ban him from running, but it only takes a simple majority to pass. source
