Vaccines don't work when 1/2 the population refuses to take it.

The FAA has limited Boeing’s production of 737 Max jets to 38 per month

I feel like when there's at least one new scandal about their aircraft every week, the production should be limited to a big fat nil

The GOP Congress is the source of the problem solely because people refuse to stand up to them.
If they would stand up and help eliminate the problem there wouldn't be a problem to begin with.

I disagree.
You can't have any kind of moral high ground in a situation where not fighting will get people killed.
Refusing to rally against the disinformation increases the likelihood of it's success.
Who's going to get hurt if it succeeds?
-millions of women with pregnancy complications that will no longer be able to seek abortions to save their lives.
-millions of minorities at the hands of the state whenever Trump eventually institutes concentration camps.
-millions of LGBTQ+ people well also end up in those concentration camps.
-millions of people dependent on things like Medicare and Medicaid will lose health insurance and die from complications.
-millions of children will starve or experience malnutrition when food stamp programs like WIC are canceled.
Those things aren't immediately obvious to the layman but they should be painfully obvious to institutions made up of people who understand the psychology enough to counter disinformation.
Anyone who understands the moral implications of letting the disinformation succeed and still chooses not to fight back against it with everything they have absolutely deserves to be shamed and blamed.

A Truce and not a Treaty?
So Russia will get a break to regroup and in exchange Ukraine is expected to pull out of contested areas so Russia can get a running start on the rest of Ukraine when the truce falls apart?

"the fuck you just say‽" Seems more appropriate for the expression.

If the war is important, the US and Europe should actually fund it instead of looking for pennies behind couch cushions.

The war is absolutely important, and profitable to some parties, which may be why we're seeing only enough supplies trickle in to keep it going.

Fauci warns against drinking raw milk and immediately social media has people promoting drinking raw milk "for immunization" making the sale of raw milk shoot up.

They're so mentally fragile and easy to manipulate that I feel like Fauci could "warn" against drinking pasteurized milk and getting vaccinated and the problem would solve itself.
The only issue is there's plenty of people on the left that wouldn't be able to see what was actually going on and that the left was having a collective "Shhh! ;)" moment and take him seriously and think he lost his mind.

No joke, years ago a deputy got busted handcuffing a mentally disabled woman and dragging her by her ankles down a set of stairs on his body cam.
They fucking let him resign after the scandal and he went to the very next county over (my county) and got a job as a deputy on our sheriff's department where he's been ever since despite dozens of complaints.

They're so incompetent it would be hilarious if there wasn't so much at stake.
The electorate as a whole has the collective memory of a goldfish. Anything they scream about today will be forgotten by next Monday at the latest.
They keep jumping the gun on things that would otherwise be effective if timed right.
Other things like some of Trump's trials, and likely more indictments, will be coming back into focus in the fall because he booted them down the road instead of getting it out of the way now.
It's going to be all over TV just around election time and they're pissing away their counter arguments in the spring.

Justice Merchan told Donald Trump to his face in his contempt hearing:
"you're a former president and a current candidate, I really don't want put you in jail"
He's not going to sentence him to a day behind bars and anyone who thinks he will is delusional, Justice Merchan already stated his intent and it's in the public record.

"trump" in this context has lost all of its former meaning.

I love this for her

How's it unconstitutional? There are lower age limits to all of these offices too.

But it did go their way, they're just pissed because the timing of when it went their way totally undermines their talking points about Trump and his trial.

Half dozen, dozen, two dozen in the US.
It finally paid off! Today is the day our system makes sense!

Except for the part where credit scores were specifically designed to keep minorities down.

Religion has always been nothing more than a way to control people.
