“Mr. Nadler has been sharply critical of Hamas, still believes in a two-state solution for the region and does not agree with those who say Israel is carrying out genocide in Gaza. But he said [that under Netanyahu] Israel was committing mass murder and war crimes in Gaza ‘without question.’”

Crime is literally lower than it has been in the entire life of every single non-senior-citizen American. If you are under age 65 you have never lived at a time with lower property crime rates, lower violent crime rates or lower homicide rates. Never.

Jesus that’s harsh, only time I have ever been questioned about anything was them asking me to unroll a rug so they could see it before leaving it

Yeah I think COVID/teleconferencing has weirdly enabled a lot of this by making schedules flexible and letting people take meetings from their car

Pretty much. Today and yesterday the photographers have been allowed to take still photos from a distance and that’s it.

Only way this makes sense is if they found some other way to get him to an MRI machine without being noticed

Yeah I’ve found that a little puzzling, I posted a couple of days ago that we should have seen the motorcade ER trip if something acute happened
Ed (@notdred.bsky.social) reply parent
Look I have been resistant to the conspiracy theories but it’s pretty hard to believe now that they’re not hiding SOMETHING
Ed (@notdred.bsky.social)
I think this is plausible. Might have been in the hospital the days he was totally out of sight. There’s some reason now they don’t want anybody to see him talking/interacting. Could be some residual vocal slurring
Ed (@notdred.bsky.social) reply parent
I think something like this too. Might be plausible that he was in the hospital the days that he was totally out of sight. Now maybe they don’t want him on video or talking to anybody live because he’s got some recognizable slurring or something

Important to remember that during COVID a lot of people primarily experienced the world online and so when you hear them resurrecting their gripes it’s actually just them getting mad again about the things they saw *on social media*
Ed (@notdred.bsky.social) reply parent
More to the point I think they’re recalling and getting mad at the people they saw on *twitter*

This ‘blue states closed schools too long’ narrative is becoming increasingly entrenched in the Polite Center but it’s arguable at best. Republican states had far more deaths during COVID and their students have roughly comparable learning loss.

Unfortunately the virus continued to mutate but seeing this chart was a true holy-shit moment that you don’t get very often in research and medicine

I don’t really agree tbh, the bars were kept open for economic and political reasons. Many other countries opened schools with mitigations and closed bars/restaurants or required testing and then vaccination later

They’re not letting anyone see him up close or putting out any video of him, something’s surely wrong

My guess on the Rudy Giuliani story is that he was DUI, passed out and stopped his car on the highway at night, and got slammed into by another car. Everything else is just bullshit obfuscation
Ed (@notdred.bsky.social) reply parent
I truly wonder what the root cause is but they clearly don’t want any video of him right now, must not be doing great

We have new data points for GolfWatch, folks. No evidence Trump stepped off the cart AND the Gruden pic is from last week. Something ain’t right!

Honestly until Nader it was just kind of understood that Democrats were gonna vote for the Dem nominee

Truthfully I think there may have been hopes that some of the IRA provisions like Medicare negotiation would be repealed under Trump, kind of darkly funny that not only did that not happen but everything else went to shit

Just turning the phrase “Big Pharma is profiting from the wellness industry” over in my head and marveling at how anybody could conceive of this possibility
Ed (@notdred.bsky.social) reply parent
Right, like most organizations these companies don’t want to be the mole that pops its head up and gets whacked
Ed (@notdred.bsky.social) reply parent
I do not really understand the causality being implied in this post but do people understand that the wellness fascism folks quite literally don’t think you should use any traditional pharma products
Ed (@notdred.bsky.social)
No interest in starting a fight with this random person but big pharma absolutely does not support Trump, in fact he is seriously screwing them over in multiple ways along with most of corporate America
Ed (@notdred.bsky.social) reply parent
Seems like having to hire somebody for this is an admission that the product sucks

Pritzker out here giving a master class in countering the right wing propaganda machine’s efforts to justify further federal invasions and occupations of American cities: he’s effectively reframing the discussion (beyond debates re: crime rates) to one of rising authoritarianism & federal overreach.

Oh yeah the switch mechanism for those things is touchy and weird. I would not worry about it!

Yeah so I just saw, think that ups the ante for them hiding something

Honestly I was skeptical before but I now think he’s deteriorating pretty fast. If he was in good shape they would have put him on video today

I have a friend who has an advanced degree in music from Berklee and apparently somebody there scientifically determined that it’s the most perfectly structured pop song of all time

Arguing that he was a good general seems to fly right in the face of also arguing that the war was winnable. He was the commanding officer! If he blew a winnable victory then he’s not a good general!

I think so, we’ll see what they do today. This is so widespread now that I think they have to address it directly

Stephen Miller wearing linen robes, ritually removing his organs
Ed (@notdred.bsky.social) reply parent
Also maybe if like Loomer beheaded him in some kind of blood ritual, beheading is generally a contraindication to activating EMS
Ed (@notdred.bsky.social) reply parent
Ok here’s another explanation: he goes in his sleep and by the time he’s found he’s so clearly cold/rigored that they don’t try to get him to the ER. He would have to be really most sincerely dead though for them not to try
Ed (@notdred.bsky.social) reply parent
“Stephen Miller is trying to pull off a one-man Weekend at Bernie’s” would be the only explanation

There’s just no way. How would there not have been an emergency motorcade or helicopter flight to Walter Reed??

I work in skilled nursing (and LTC/assisted living) and, while anything can happen, I see people in much worse shape than Trump all the time that are not at death's door. I don't really get the "oh he has huge hand bruises and cankles, he's about to keel over." I've seen cankles 10 times that big...

Agreed, that stuff doesn’t impress me much
