Wassup field hands? I know the posts have been a bit sporadic, but I am deep in these fields with this work thing, so just hang with me a little bit while I get some things together.
Having said that, I had to post about this bit of news from Western Pennsylvania. I am not sure why this story is not getting more traction, but hopefully we will get some answers soon.
Maybe my friends at the Pittsburgh Courier can give us some updates, since it's pretty much being ignored by the lame stream media.
"People are demanding answers after a Jamaican immigrant was found shot and killed in western Pennsylvania while attending a hunting trip with a former co-worker and friends.
A man identified as Peter Spencer, 29, was found dead on Carl’s Road in Rockland Township in the early morning hours of Dec 12. He was shot at least nine times.
“We are talking six bullets into the chest, two into the buttocks, and one we have a different opinion – either through the mouth or from the neck out of the mouth,” Tim Stevens, CEO of local organization, the Black Political Empowerment Project, told Pittsburgh’s Action News 4.
The organization has been calling for an arrest for Spencer’s murder.
Spencer’s pregnant fiancee had dropped him off at a cabin in Venango County on Dec 11. A man he used to work with contacted him about the hunting trip on Snapchat.
“This time he was taken directly into the woods and not this person’s mother’s home … to the fiancé she didn’t totally feel comfortable with that,” Stevens said.
Shortly after Spencer was dropped off at the cabin, his fiancee said she received a text saying he was staying the night. Around 2:30 am on Dec 12, police were called to the cabin and found Spencer dead at the scene. A 25-year-old man was taken into custody and claimed self-defense. Multiple guns were also located at the scene.
Currently, no charges have been filed." [Source]
Peter's first mistake was trusting these guys enough to go hunting with them. But that's a post for a different time. For now, we just need some answers. I am sure that the District Attorney in that Western Pennsylvania county doesn't want to end up like the DA in this case.
Do your job!

ReplyDelete“Peter's first mistake was trusting these guys enough to go hunting with them.”
ReplyDeleteMaybe. But we all have to take calculated risks in daily life. It sounds like this guy was invited by his friend to go hunting. His friend was cool, so he assumed his friend’s friends would also be cool, but evidently, they were not. Some sort of altercation occurred between Spencer and at least one of the other men that ended with Spencer dead.
Of course, that’s just how it looks on the surface. Who knows what the police investigation will turn up? Maybe the situation is completely different than it initially seems. Maybe Spencer was part of a joint criminal enterprise? Maybe it was a hate crime? Who knows what the motive might be?
At any rate, it’s only been 8 weeks since the man’s death. It’s a little early to be making accusations about the investigation being a cover-up. Or, as Spencer’s family has assumed, that the crime was a “lynching.”
I was always kinda careful about who I went hunting with. Some folks I knew when I was young used to use hunting as an excuse for getting high, but I never found intoxication and firearms to be a good combination. "Look! I found some liberty caps!"
ReplyDelete"Did you eat any of them?

Good point, Doug. Unless you want a Dick Cheney-style shotgun blast to the face, it’s a good idea to make sure your hunting buddies aren’t trigger-happy dimwits.
ReplyDeleteHowever, this doesn’t appear to gave been a hunting accident. Multiple gunshots to the back seems pretty intentional.
Are we smelling a rat here?
ReplyDeleteHow does one claim self defense after inflicting nine bullets? Time for an extensive investigation.

I don't know, Anon, but eight weeks seems like a lot of time to do nothing much.
“How does one claim self defense after inflicting nine bullets? Time for an extensive investigation.”
ReplyDeleteNine bullets isn’t unusual in a self-defense situation. If someone is attacking you, you don’t fire off a single shot and see if that did the job. That’s something out of the movies. In real life, self-defense training dictates that you empty as many bullets into them as possible to ensure the attack stops. Which usually also guarantees they are dead.
The fact that most of the shots went into the back of the deceased probably means it wasn’t self-defense.
“I don't know, Anon, but eight weeks seems like a lot of time to do nothing much.”
Who says they’ve done nothing much? The fact they haven’t shared details of the investigation with the victim’s family, doesn’t prove the police have made no progress.
That's a long time to not know why someone was shot multiple times.
ReplyDelete"That's a long time to not know why someone was shot multiple times."
ReplyDeletePolice may well have an idea why someone was shot multiple times, but not yet have gathered enough evidence/testimony to conclusively prove it in court. Particularly if the people involved in this hunting trip are not being particularly cooperative with the police.
Again, the fact that the victim's family is not party to any of the details doesn't mean there is no investigation happening.
prolly should not have been hunting
ReplyDeleteI sorta remember from, days gone by, reports of victims with hands tied behind them and having been shot in the back of the head labeled as suicides. I could be mistaken.
ReplyDelete”I sorta remember from, days gone by, reports of victims with hands tied behind them and having been shot in the back of the head labeled as suicides. I could be mistaken.”
ReplyDeleteWell, there have certainly been some cops who claimed this about deaths in custody.
Like this one from 2014, where the deceased supposedly committed suicide with his hands handcuffed behind his back in the back of a police car. Wasn’t he searched for weapons as part of the arrest process? How did he manage to shoot himself from that position? So many questions!
So far, nothing suggests anything like this happened in the Spencer case. No one has alleged suicide, and no evidence has been released to indicate he was tied up. In fact, very few details at all have been released to the public.
Russia is rather like the goddamn Republicans in that way, it isn't wise to turn your back on either of them (from Comrade Misfit):

ReplyDeleteWell, because the Supreme Court (so far) has not shot down Texas' wacky "bounty hunter" scheme for enforcing an abortion ban, now red-state legislatures want to create all sorts of "bounty hunters" who can make a profit by suing anyone who does anything wingnuts don't like. Never mind that the plaintiffs haven't been harmed in any way by the people they are suing. Apparently, the concept of standing doesn't matter anymore and anyone can win cash and prizes in a courtroom.
Of course, there is nothing stopping liberals from writing similar dumb laws. So, hey, wingnuts, get ready to have to defend yourself in court when you get sued for $10,000 by some random person from Timbuktu, whom you've never even met, because you own a gun.
There isn't a whole lot of info on this case anywhere. I did read where the funeral home did some stuff tgo bullet wounds that make it hard to tell from which direction they entered the deceased's body.
ReplyDeleteAnd there was a second autopsy but no results released as of yet.
"Of course, there is nothing stopping liberals from writing similar dumb laws."
ReplyDeleteAnd California is proposing just one such dumb law to ban assault rifles and ghost guns.
So far the reporting around the effort has been mostly about the relative merits of banning ghost guns versus the political heavy lift of banning assault rifles, while ignoring the real purpose of the law, which is to give the goddamn supreme court a horrible example of what will happen if they let the awful Texas law stand.

Exactly. If SCOTUS allows the enforcement of laws to be outsourced to private citizen "bounty hunters," and accepts the idea that because there is no governmental figure to sue if you think the laws are unconstitutional and therefore you cannot sue, then we might as well set fire to the Constitution right now. Our legal system will turn into a giant circus.

Terrifying moment Seattle homeless man cracks female Amazon engineer's skull with a baseball bat as she walks home in random attack: Suspect, 31, finally in jail after 16-year crime spree that includes arrests for robbery, burglary and assault
ReplyDeleteWantez Tulloss, 31, was charged on Friday with first-degree assault after he was caught on surveillance footage attacking Emma (Shengnan) Wang
He has been arrested 26 times since 2008, including for first-degree robbery, theft, assault and three violations of no-contact domestic violence
Video from January 31 shows the woman walking home with a shopping bag in her hand when Tulloss came up behind her
He dropped the bags he was carrying and used both hands to whack her in the head with a baseball bat
She was left bleeding with a fractured skull and is set to undergo surgery
Tulloss was identified due to his distinctive face tattoos
He was living in a transitional housing facility less than 500 feet from the crime, where he hid the clothes he was wearing in an oven
Tulloss, who has a previous criminal history including domestic violence charges and first-degree robbery, is now in jail, where he remains on a $150,000 bail
He faces up to 12 years in prison, and additional time in community custody.
A homeless man with a 16-year violent criminal history has been charged with first-degree assault after he was caught on surveillance footage taking a 'full body swing' with a baseball bat and hitting a woman in the back of the head, leaving her bleeding with a fractured skull.
Wantez Tulloss, 31, has been arrested 11 times going back to 2012 and was wanted by police in Washington for third degree theft.
On Monday January 31, he was filmed taking a swing at Emma Shengnan Wang, who was named by prosecutors in court documents. He knocked Wang to the ground, hitting her on her skull and back, then fled, taking his bags with him.
She lay helpless on the ground with blood pouring from her ear while bystanders rushed to help her. Wang is an engineer at Amazon Web Services who lives in Seattle. She is now recovering and will need to undergo surgery.
Police reports obtained by DailyMail.com describe how Tulloss had been spotted by others moments earlier, swinging the bat in an alleyway. One witness said they heard him smashing Wang's skull and thought he'd taken a hit at a concrete wall because of the sound it made.
The attack was random, and police have not yet been able to determine if there was a motive. Wang did not see her attacker and it's unclear if he said anything to her. After hitting her, he went for a slice of pizza and then was arrested.
The tattooed criminal's rap sheet includes charges for fourth degree assault, theft and reckless driving. It's unclear when he was last in jail - or why he was on the streets when he poses such a clear risk.
Prosecutors begged a judge to deny him bail, saying he should not be allowed to walk the city's streets.

Black College Student Is Charged After It's Revealed She Faked A Hate Crime
ReplyDeleteEDWARDSVILLE — A student at Southern Illinois University Edwardsville has been criminally charged and accused of faking a racist incident last month. Kaliyeha Clark-Mabins, 19, was charged with three counts of disorderly conduct for telling SIUE police that two notes were posted by someone else on her dormitory room door on Jan. 23 saying, “BLACK PEOPLE DON’T BELONG” and “DIE BITCH,” charging documents say.
No lawyer is listed for Clark-Mabins, who could not be immediately reached for comment.
University officials notified the campus community of the charges Friday, saying two other white students who had originally been “named as suspects… have been fully cleared of any involvement. We are saddened by the harm that these students endured because of false accusations.”

ST. LOUIS — A St. Louis woman feels like the judicial system failed her, after she said her teenage neighbor attacked her and walked away free.
Alicia Clarke said exactly a week ago she went for a quick run outside her south city home. When she came back, she noticed her shoes had been moved to a different spot and her cell phone was gone.
From there, she used Find My iPhone to search for it. The location said it was on her property grid. She used her work phone to call it.
"I open my back door to call it and I hear it in my neighbor's backyard behind me," Clarke said.
Clarke said she hopped the fence to get it and jumped back over to her yard. Another neighbor yelled out to her and said, "Hey, I told him, 'I know you did this and I’m calling the police!'"
Clarke said that's when the 6-foot teen jumped the fence and tackled her.
"He knocked me down, pulling my hair, kicking," she recalled.
Before he ran off, she said he grabbed her personal cell phone again. She used her work phone to call police.
"I am on the phone with St. Louis police dispatch, making my way to my backdoor, when he comes back with a weapon. He is on top of me. There was blood everywhere. I was literally fighting for my life at that point," she told 5 On Your Side.
Clarke said as he was on her back, he stabbed her in the head and face with a metal rod."

However, some of them do believe, as the RNC apparently also does, that Jan. 6 was justified. Horrifyingly, they are convinced that Joe Biden is only president because of “the steal,” and therefore wingnuts had a riot to right and a right to threaten legislators and a right to somehow force Congress to make Trump president for four more years.

Anthony Brown, 16, allegedly killed Michael Brown Tuesday in Bronzeville.
A 16-year-old boy had a hearing before a judge on a weapons charge on the same day he later carjacked a Lyft and gunned down another teen in Bronzeville — all while on electronic monitoring, Cook County prosecutors said Thursday.
The brutal Tuesday afternoon killing was captured on surveillance video and showed 16-year-old Anthony Brown get out of a stolen car, walk up to 15-year-old Michael Brown and shoot the younger teen once in the head, Assistant State’s Attorney James Murphy said.
Anthony Brown then stood over the younger boy and fired an additional nine rounds into the body, Murphy said.
Neither Chicago police nor prosecutors have offered a motive.
“Obviously, it was targeted,” Supt. David Brown said a day earlier when announcing charges in the case, but provided no additional details.
The two teens are not related, and no connections between them beyond the killing are currently known, a source with knowledge of the case told the Sun-Times."
Being let out of jail despite multiple pending weapons charges is the epitome of black privilege. The total lack of outrage over this killing is further proof that Black Lives Do Not Matter.
“Being let out of jail despite multiple pending weapons charges is the epitome of black privilege.”
ReplyDeleteNo, it’s standard policy. Anyone of any race would receive the same treatment pending trial. Illinois has eliminated cash bail for all but the most serious (usually violent) charges, which would not include mere weapons possession. Anyway, the point of bail was never to lock up people who haven’t yet been convicted of anything; bail was only supposed to guarantee the defendant didn’t flee and showed up to his trial, not keep poor people locked up just in case they MIGHT feel like committing unrelated crimes.
Electronic monitoring works just fine in most cases to ensure that defendants charged with minor offenses attend their trials. But only if police enforce the terms of the monitoring, which it sounds like they didn’t here if this dude was running around freely outside his home — a violation of the terms of the electronic monitoring — and nobody bothered to come arrest him.
A teen shooting? It happens a bit too much in this country for my tastes. We have a gun problem such as parents buying their mentally disturbed son a gun even though he was showing signs of being a mass shooter. Let's all work to end gun violence or is that possible in America?

I don’t think the party will abandon him until he goes to prison, and he won’t realistically go to prison over document destruction. (Although he might go to prison for either his shady business/tax dealings, or his attempt to rig the 2020 election.)
Alternatively, if he runs in the 2024 election and loses, the party will probably also abandon him. Unless, of course, they carry out a violent coup instead and end democracy in America for good. And then Trump will finally be a literal dictator, rather than a wannabe.

ReplyDeleteI hope you’re right, but I’m less than 100% confident after the last few years of craziness.
“How many people do you know who would really sacrifice their lives so the former host of the Celebrity Apprentice can send stupid tweet from 1600 Pennsylvania?”
Increasingly, I’m worried about the possibility that it will work the other way around. Largely through McConnell’s underhanded methods and the naïveté of Democrats, the GOP has filled up the judiciary with right-wing ideologues. Put together with winning control of enough state legislatures, they may be able to successfully rig an election next time around.
If they do, the key question will be: How many people do you know who would really sacrifice their lives to REMOVE the former host of the Celebrity Apprentice from 1600 Pennsylvania?
They have him dead to rights destroying or attempting to destroy official documents (and then there's the falsifying of the electoral college documents, although that might be harder to pin on him) and there's this part of the statute:
ReplyDelete"and shall forfeit his office and be disqualified from holding any office under the United States."

ReplyDelete“and shall forfeit his office and be disqualified from holding any office under the United States."
ReplyDeleteIt’s a nice idea, but that clause almost certainly isn’t enforceable against a U.S. president under the precedent of the Supreme Court ruling in U.S. Term Limits v. Thornton, which said that Congress cannot create statutory laws imposing stricter electoral requirements on federal elected officials that are more stringent than what’s in the Constitution. Technically, the ruling was about requirements for electing members of Congress, but the same logic would have to hold for the office of the president.
Of course, the six flaming hard-right wingnuts on the Supreme Court could decide to overturn the earlier precedent. I guess that could happen.
Hahaha, just kidding, no it couldn’t. Not a chance in hell that the guys who’ve signed off on Citizen’s United and the shredding of the Voting Rights Act are going to bend over backwards to keep Trump from returning to the White House.

"[A]uthorities said an employee at a KFC was shot on Thursday after an argument over a food order escalated and spilled into the parking lot.
"The incident occurred at about 8:30 p.m. Thursday at the KFC on 6301 15th Street East in Manatee County, deputies said.
"According to the Manatee County Sheriff’s Office, two men drove up to the drive-through window to complain about a food order and got into an argument with employees.
"Two employees left the restaurant and went out to the parking lot to continue arguing with the men. Deputies said the dispute ended when one of the employees was shot.
"Deputies said someone drove the victim to Manatee Memorial Hospital, where they are being treated for their injuries. They are expected to recover.
"Deputies did not identify the victim by age or gender. They said they had been “unwilling to provide more information about the incident.”
"Deputies said the two men fled the parking lot in a newer white vehicle, and started heading north on 15th Street.'
"Detectives are working on leads in the case and say an investigation is ongoing."

It’s true that the brainwashed redneck Republican masses doubtless believe this. They’re convinced, despite the massive evidence to the contrary, that the MSM are lying to them, while what they hear on Fox News is the gospel truth (lol).
Republican leadership, on the other hand, aren’t complete and total idiots. (Most of them anyway. I’ll make an exception for the Louis Gohmerts and the MTGs, and Sarah Palin herself.) Republican leadership know that Palin’s lawsuit will hurt them far more than help them. Their movement is built on a mountain of lies. If they can’t lie, they are done for.
Their party has nothing to offer most voters, other than promising to keep the eeeeevil Democrats out. And painting the Democrats as scary and evil requires defaming them, which they do regularly.

ReplyDeleteThat would have been a political earthquake, and was never likely."
One last word on the Palin lawsuit. Well, the last word I'll have today, not the last word ever, since she's probably going to appeal the ruling. Aside from being unable to prove "actual malice" on the part of the times in their making false assertions against here, as opposed to those assertions simply being errors, there is also the "harm to reputation" component of defamation.
The Times story suggested that Sarah Palin's inflammatory rhetoric caused a mass shooting incident, including Democratic Rep. Gabby Giffords getting shot in the head. She asserts that the Times story thus hurt her reputation and career.
But honestly, the exact fucking problem with America is that a story like that WOULDN'T hurt her reputation. Like, at all. Her career and reputation are built on her being an asshole, and the people who vote for her LIKE her being an asshole, because they're assholes, too. They wouldn't care if she did cause a mass shooting. Hell, they were probably excited that Gabby Giffords got shot in the head.
So where is the damage? The claim about her may have been false, but nobody actually cared one way or the other because everyone already knows Sarah Palin is terrible. Democrats already hate her for being terrible and Republicans like her for being terrible. Even if the Times hadn't retracted their story, nothing would have changed one iota.
I contend that the only way that one could actually successfully defame Sarah Palin would be to present false evidence that she is some kind of closeted, secret liberal who believes in global warming and supports trans rights, police reform, and single-payer health insurance. That might actually punch a hole in her earnings and stop her from getting invited to CPAC, etc.
"Sha’Carri Richardson
ReplyDeleteCan we get a solid answer on the difference of her situation and mines? My mother died and I can’t run and was also favored to place top 3. The only difference I see is I’m a black young lady."
It's actually not the only difference.
Kamila Valieva HAS appealed her drug test ruling, which means she can keep competing while the appeal is in process. Note, however, an appeal does not mean an acquittal. Unless she can somehow convince the Olympic authorities that either her drug test was inaccurate and she hadn't taken the drug, or that there was a legitimate medical reason for taking the drug (some drugs have both medical and performance-enhancing uses), the ruling will still stand. Which means that any medals she wins will get yanked and given to other athletes in her events, and she'll still get banned from upcoming events, possibly including the next Olympics.
As far as I know, Sha’Carri Richardson didn't appeal her drug suspension. She admitted that she smoked weed, which meant she was kicked out of the last Olympics. I'm not sure she had any real way to appeal anyway, of course, but that's down to the drug she was taking. Pot stays in your body for a long time, so if she'd claimed the test was inaccurate, they'd have immediately re-tested her and she'd have come up positive for weed again. And I feel pretty confident the Olympics wouldn't have recognized any legitimate medical use for cannabis.
I agree that there is an injustice in Sha’Carri Richardson not being able to compete, but isn't about racism. The injustice is that recreational drugs are on the banned list in the first place. Weed is not performance-enhancing. If anything, it's performance-degrading. So the only reason for including most recreational drugs on the banned list is to maintain the appearance of moral rectitude of athletes on the grounds that they are "role models to the youth."
That's some dumb-as-hell wingnut logic, right there. It's got nothing to do with the fairness of athletic competitions, which was supposed to be the point of having an anti-doping agency.

Actually, a lot of people on the left did think Trump would get us into a war. But not by choice. Most of us thought he’d inadvertently get us into a war purely by being an unbelievable dumbass. So, not so much a warmonger as a war-moron-ger.
Truthfully, we were pretty lucky he didn’t accidentally start an unnecessary war. Shredding the nuclear accord and assassinating Iran’s top general might easily have done it. In factl, we still might end up going to war as a result of Trump’s idiotic actions, even if that didn’t happen during his administration. If you follow the news, you will notice that things are not going great with the Iranians, who’ve aggressively ramped up their nuclear program.
Also, calling Trump “mediocre” is an extremely undeserved compliment to Trump. He couldn’t achieve up to the level of “mediocre” in his wildest dreams. He’s a despicable sack of garbage.
In any case, there is no comparison with the current situation with Russia and Ukraine. Biden has done nothing to provoke this. Nobody wants a war, but if there is one, it’ll only be because the Russians started it all by themselves. Unless you think we should just let Putin gobble up whatever countries he feels like. I mean that worked out great with Hitler, didn’t it? Having been allowed to have western Czechoslovakia, he was satisfied and totally didn’t invade anybody else and there was peace forever and ever after that? Isn’t that how things went in the ‘30s? I forget.

The Olympic committee has decided to delay holding medals ceremonies for any events that Russian skater Kamila Valieva participates in, due to the high likelihood that her ban for doping will be upheld on appeal and if they gave her medals, they would probably just have to take them away again.

"Fergus and his two rankest spawn must sit for depositions under oath within 21 days, according to judge Arthur Engoron."
ReplyDeleteDebatable. Personally, I think Eric Trump is ranker than Ivanka. Certainly, he is more apt to parrot Daddy's ludicrous Nuremburg Rally-style talking points than Ivanka. She at least hopes to maintain her image as a rational, non-dysfunctional person and usually avoids saying insane things in public.
Eric is probably the dumbest Trump, though, which is really saying something.
I believe Eric was already deposed by the NY state investigators a few months ago.

John Durham is calling out right wing magat media for mischaracterizing his report on Clinton campaign. He basically accuses them of lying/distorting what he said.
ReplyDeletehttps://www.rawstory.com/special-counsel-john-durham-backtracks/
Who knew they would do that besides every un-magat out there?
White teen bullies younger black teen in a mall. Another younger black teen steps in to confront wasicu bully, a fight ensues, the pigs come a running and male wasicu pig pins black kid to ground and immediately gets on his back to handcuff him, while female wasicu pig pushes white guy to couch and sits him down before jumping on black kid's back.
ReplyDeleteWhite kid complains he should be handcuffed, too. Sound like a replay of a worn out cop/ black confrontation replay of as wornout scenario?
“John Durham is calling out right wing magat media for mischaracterizing his report on Clinton campaign. He basically accuses them of lying/distorting what he said.”
ReplyDeleteDurham is managing expectations because he’s got a whole lotta nothing. His “investigation” is a farce, like everything else created by the Trump administration.
It looks like what actually happened is that some IT consultant hired by the Trump organization — not a “spy”; nobody had paid him in advance to leak information about Trump computers — thought he had discovered suspicious Internet traffic between Trump’s servers and those of a Russian bank. In the light of all the REAL contacts between the Trump campaign and the Russian government that were being reported on at the time, he got excited and misinterpreted the data; there was no evidence of meaningful communications going on with this Russian bank.
Regardless, it looks like he sold his his non-stories to a lawyer who was a Democrat but did not work for the Clinton campaign. The lawyer gave the non-stories to some news outlets who, unfortunately, hyped them up for a few weeks before realizing they were junk.
None of that adds up to “THE CLINTON CAMPAIGN SPIED ON ME! TREASON!!!”
It’s just a case of an IT guy who didn’t know what he was talking about, and a set of mistakes by credulous journalists. No crimes were committed and Hillary Clinton was not involved.
Malawi, Africa has a wild case of polio, first in five years. Imagine how many magats and anti-vaxxers we could have shed if they pulled this bullshit during polio epidemic?

ReplyDeleteThere really was unusual activity from the Fergus connected server and Alfa Bank, for an extended period, but among the obvious, in your face Russia connections, it didn't stand out as warranting much attention since there was no real way to determine the content of the communications.

In 1932, the American government lied to African-American men living in Tuskegee, Alabama. They were falsely told they would receive medical treatment for "bad blood." The government continued this lie for decades as black men, their wives, and children went untreated instead of cured. It is one of the biggest scandals in American history.
ReplyDeleteEighty-eight years later, the government's willingness to put African-Americans on the frontlines of testing the experimental COVID-19 vaccine shows their attitude toward racial minorities hasn't changed.
“Eighty-eight years later, the government's willingness to put African-Americans on the frontlines of testing the experimental COVID-19 vaccine shows their attitude toward racial minorities hasn't changed.”
ReplyDeleteThis is garbage. The COVID-19 vaccines were not tested on a disproportionately African-American population. Test subjects were not chosen based on race.
Just more anti-vaxxer bullshit from the trolls.

Well, not really. Trump had a third-party company sending out junk mail promoting his hotels from the same servers. Alpha Bank’s servers’ numerous DNS lookups were probably just a reaction to them receiving lots of Trump-affiliated junk mail. There’s really no smoking gun indicating criminal activity here, which is why the FBI looked into this and then dropped it.

Sorry Anon, but this dog don't hunt. First, the people who first tested the vaccine were volunteers, not people chose by the researchers. Second, Once approved, the initial vaccine was distributed to health-care workers, nursing homes, and people with existing conditions. I know this because I am 85 years old and had to wait quite awhile until my group was eligible.
I am triple vaccinated and am quite sure that I won't die if I do get Covid. How about you, Anonymous? What are your odds?

ReplyDeleteFunny how the map of educational attainment neatly mirrors the map of voting patterns.😑
"Must read to understand how drumpf appointed ideologue judges are undermining precedence and common sense."
ReplyDeleteYeah, well, to understand WHY this is happening, you have to realize that Harry Reid's tenure as Senate majority leader was just one long, disastrous face-plant, both for the Democrats and democracy.
His failure to do away with the filibuster for presidential appointments (except for SCOTUS) until after 4 straight fucking years of Republican obstruction meant that President Obama was unable to fill a huge number of federal judge vacancies, thus gifting Trump the opportunity to fill all of them with circus freaks.
And even then, the undemocratic relic of the filibuster was only eliminated for appointments. It still stands for everything else, thereby allowing waste-of-space Senators Manchin and Sinema to block their party's entire agenda today.
Clueless politicians like Harry Reid, who refuse to acknowledge how horrible the Republican Party have become and that there is no longer any hope of negotiating with them in good faith, epitomize what is wrong with the Democrats.
"His failure to do away with the filibuster for presidential appointments (except for SCOTUS) until after 4 straight fucking years of Republican obstruction"
ReplyDeleteActually, I miscounted. Closer to FIVE years.
Goddamn Republicans won't stop with outlawing abortion:
ReplyDelete'The final question from the audience at Friday night’s debate for the Republican candidates for Michigan attorney general was as straightforward as it gets: “How do each of you stand on Griswold v. Connecticut?”'
They all opposed it, calling it a states rights issue.
-Doug in Sugar Pine
“They all opposed it, calling it a states rights issue.”
ReplyDeleteI mean, by the time one of these candidates gets to a general election, this will likely be a straightforward statement of fact, because SCOTUS will likely have already killed off Roe v. Wade.
So the question they should be explicitly asked is: Will you support outlawing abortion in Michigan?
Saying “it’s a state’s rights issue” is a dodge. You’re running for state government, so what do you intend to do in your state?
Griswold is about contraception, not abortion.
ReplyDelete-Doug in Sugar Pine
“Griswold is about contraception, not abortion.”
ReplyDeleteSorry, had a brain fart and momentarily confused it with Planned Parenthood v Casey. So, yeah, that’s fairly scary-sounding if we’ve already moved on to banning contraception.
Of course, that would be a major political miscalculation if Republicans tried it. I think there will already be big backlash when Roe falls, so attempting to ban contraception will produce a positively volcanic outpouring of rage. Even most Republican voters don’t want this.
I still think “states’ rights,” as an answer to a debate question, is a dodge. It’s what you say when you want to have it both ways: hinting to the fanatical fundies that you might ban contraception, while letting everyone else believe that, hell no, you won’t.
