cavanami Posted February 24, 2021 Report Share Posted February 24, 2021 ...and have they woke up??? stay tuned...from the NY Post, hardly friendly to President Trump... Biden ‘fact-checkers’ are really more like Biden excuse-makers Appearing at a friendly CNN town hall event this week, President Joe Biden dropped a string of untruths on issues both large and small. One of the president’s most egregious falsehoods was the claim “we didn’t have [the vaccine] when we came into office.” The first shot was administered back on Dec. 14, 2020. Glenn Kessler, lead fact-checker for The Washington Post, quickly jumped into action on Twitter, explaining that this was merely a “verbal stumble, a typical Biden gaffe, as he had already mentioned 50 million doses being available when he took office. Former Trump officials should especially cool the outrage meter, as it just looks silly.” Castigating those who pointed out the lie is a weird thing for someone charged with verifying factual information to do... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I try to explain slowly so that you have a chance to follow this time, further try to avoid unfounded misinterpretation of other peoples statements. 7.850.000.000 People total 328.000.000 People USA 2.500.000 Dead total 500.000 Dead USA Which means 4,17 % of the world population and 20 % of all deaths. Which is what I tried to say and nothing else. If you now wish to put the figures into relationship with the average temperature in Soi 4 or deaths / million in the USA you are welcome but have to realise that deaths/million is a different approach, has nothing to do with my numbers and leads to a different result which is about 0,15 %.

Mekong Posted February 24, 2021 Report Share Posted February 24, 2021 7.850.000.000 People total 63,250.000 People UK 2.500.000 Dead total 121.000 Dead UK Which means UK 0.8% world population and 4.8% of Deaths The USA at 4.17% of world population is 5.125 times greater than the UK at 0.8%. Still with me so far? Trying to keep it simple If the UK had a population 5.125 bigger so 5.125 x 4.8% = 25.02% which is greater than USA 20% QED Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's what I thought as well. Must be the new math the other way. 🙄 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Steve Posted February 25, 2021 Report Share Posted February 25, 2021 C'mon Cav, lets have complete disclosure in context. When did Bill take those trips? As president? While in office? Anything he does legally after he leaves office is his business. Cruz is a current serving Senator. His state is in a state of emergency. There are a myriad of things he could do as Senator. Help get federal resources for a start for all manner of things. He fucked up. Pure and simple. Bad optics and it shows a certain amount of insensitivity. Its protocol in state of emergencies for the elected officials to at least look like they are giving a shit. He didn't. Take the L and lets move on. As for Trump running for Senator, we'll see if he is even in jail or not or tied up in a trial first. If he runs and wins, so be it. There are a lot of 'ifs' in there. If my aunt had a cock...yadda, yadda. It would be very, very hard to manufacture grounds for impeachment. Anyway, wishful thinking I suppose. And again, (and again). I'm no fan of Biden. He is no where close to the choice I would have wanted for the Dems. Same for Kamala ideologically although I think she is smart as a whip and would have a very organized, thought out presidency had she won. Biden is too "old school Dem" for me. A bit too centrist. A bit too part of the establishment, but the people have spoken. The only people in Congress who are pure ideologically are anyone on the right or left who didn't take money from the lobbyists or big business or rich individuals. I may not agree with their politics some or most of the time but I can respect that they are honest actors. How many of them are there? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
buffalo_bill Posted February 25, 2021 Report Share Posted February 25, 2021 (CNN)Donald Trump Jr. was deposed as part of the Washington, DC, attorney general's lawsuit alleging the misuse of Trump inaugural funds, according to a new court filing, the latest investigation in which the former President's children have surfaced. What does this mean? Cannot find a definite translation of " deposed". Hopefully incarcerated or similar. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Coss Posted February 25, 2021 Report Share Posted February 25, 2021 In this context I think deposed means, hauled in front of investigators to answer the hard questions. And if found to be lying, later, big trouble. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
buffalo_bill Posted February 25, 2021 Report Share Posted February 25, 2021 Well, due to genetic predisposition he would lie, wouldn´t he? Thank you for enlightening me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
