Have we all seen enough to understand that Trump sold out Ukraine and Europe to Russia? Do we realise that it's not recent, but happened quite some time ago?

An all time record for advert length on Youtube. This is pathetic... And what is the "advert? It's a live stream that's due to start about 57 minutes into the advert. Come on YT, do better.

For all of the peeps complaining that self-isolating or quarantining for 42 days will be so hard, consider the clinically vulnerable and their families who have been having to do a form of this for SIX YEARS!!!

The strain on the ship is the one that can transmit person to person, ie Andes strain.

ANDV has a higher CFR (30%) than Lassa fever (overall 1-2%, hospitalised about 15%), but again data collected prior to Covid 19. Not trying to be all doom and gloom, just emphasising that care and caution are needed.

To give a frame of reference smallpox had a CFR of around 30%. Luckily Hantavirus Andes (ANDV) appears to have a lower R0, just above 1.0. However, that number is based on studies done before repeated Covid 19 infections compromised so many peeps' immune systems.

Seems the precautionary principle has been thrown out the window. All the lessons we learned from the mishandling of SARS-CoV-2 are being ignored and we're just repeating the same mistakes. With a CFR of 20-35% for Hantavirus (Andes strain) we can't afford to get this wrong.

I know many here are "refugees" from the other site, but it's worth visiting it to read all of this thread. This is how some media have been inciting racial hatred. x.com/cfmmuk/statu...

The Centre for Media Monitoring (CfMM) on X: "1/14 🧵Surrey police have confirmed that the Epsom "gang rape" never happened. A woman sustained an accidental head injury and made a confused report. But before that, Britain's right-wing media helped turn an unverified allegation into violent anti-immigration riots. #Epsom https://t.co/3VLw5M7CoL" / X

It's the lies that anger me, whether it's about Covid or Gaza or Iran or NATO or Ukraine. I know politicians have always been a tad dogdy, but the current level of blatant lying is infuriating.

YouTube surpassed itself. While watching a 30 minute video I was served up a 2 hr 54 min "advert". It was a Sky Sports broadcast of what looked like an equestrian competition. Yes, I skipped it.

When you wrap your head around the idea that Trump is working for Putin, everything makes sense. Most of the world outside the US realised this as early as 2016. Far too many within the US still haven't grasped it.

Today when I think of Gaza, I think of "Guernica", painting by Picasso. Guernica was a small town in Spain where Nazi Germany and Fascist Italy practiced their Blitzkreig techniques before unleashing them across Europe in a land grab.

It's the lies! Their own supporters may be dumb enough to believe this, but the peeps in Spain and France and Germany.... they're not. Other countries are sick of being lied about. US reputation has tanked... for generations to come. No trust left.

Years ago I settled down to watch TV and a documentary came on called "John's Not Mad". I never forgot that documentary. To learn about this neurological condition was unsettling and horrifying. To find today that there is still so much misunderstanding of it shocked me. Leave John alone.

Directly comparable. A paraplegic's disability means they cannot stand up. John's disability means he cannot stop his coprolalia.

Next you'll be demanding that a paraplegic in a wheelchair apologise for not standing up during a standing ovation. I'm sure that must "hurt" the performers on stage.

The story that Elon Musk committed voter fraud has gotten next to no coverage -- one of those things you can't make come up on a Google search. But I think it's time for Dems to go on offensive abt right wing coddling of this immigrant interfering in our elections. newrepublic.com/post/206857/...

The misconduct is passing confidential UK gov info to Epstein whilst a gov official, basically betraying his country. Other charges will come. If the misconduct has a sexual nexus that's an aggravating factor. Max sentence is life imprisonment.

Nah, Rubio's speech came off as the self-justification used by abusive spouses to make excuses for why they did what they did. He knows Trump has gone too far re Europe and NATO so is trying to walk it back by making it Europe's fault.

What kind of alliance? One that's shredded, not worth the paper any agreements were written on. Trust is gone and will be slow to return if it ever does. Maybe our grandkids will trust the US again, but betrayal is hard to forget or get past.

US politicians of all stripes may be trying to convince the rest of the world that Trump will be gone in 3 years and things can get back to "normal". They forget that those that enabled trump will still be there and we don't trust them either. This will take generations.

Trump's been whiffling about leaving NATO for years. I wonder if this change in public statements is a result of their obvious miscalculation over the strength of feeling about Greenland coming from Europe.

Yesterday, five-year-old Liam and his dad Adrian were released from Dilley detention center. I picked them up last night and escorted them back to Minnesota this morning. Liam is now home. With his hat and his backpack.
