Donald Trump, by brycepen on Oct 4, 2020 10:21:44 GMT 1, Weird how after being in the hospital for only a couple of hours he was already treated with Regeneron AND Remdesivir. 8 billion people , with everyone needed to be vaccinated to have an effect on the virus continually over the next decade with 2 doses Per person per year ,work out the costings , will make apple share prices look like Lloyd’s share prices ! Who is better to advertise the vaccine for the country that produces the first viable vaccine ?🤯👀😁 All of trumps family invested in pharmaceutical companies where as the Bush family were in oil companies 😁
Remdesivir is a therapeutic, not a vaccine. It is already being used as one.
As you said, there are 8 billion people. Companies will be fighting for market share well after one viable vaccine is made/approved. And the pressure to make any viable vaccine accessible to the entire general public will probably make it pretty hard to profit too much off of one.

Donald Trump, by astarti on Oct 7, 2020 10:16:46 GMT 1, Today is a historic day for Greece. The neo nazis who managed to stain our democracy by crawling into Parliament a couple of years ago, the neo nazis who were involved in murders and pogroms against immigrants and attacks against members of the communist party were all found GUILTY! Our justice system is slow and has flaws but today they stepped up and got the job done. I am proud. Our juridical system today send a message that our Democracy is protected!
Picture: People gathered today outside of the court to hear the verdict.
(I know this is not the right place to post this but I couldn't find another thread. Admins you are free to delete or move. Just wanted to share this historic moment with the forum).

Donald Trump, by Dive Jedi on Oct 27, 2020 16:12:07 GMT 1, WHY are th voting lines in the USA soooooooo long ? ? ? ?
I have voted many times here in NL and I have never stood in line longer then 5 minutes. Mostly you are done in 2......
Are there so few voting stations ? Does it take so long to fill in the ballot?
If every McDonald and KFC would be converted into a voting station lines would be non-existing...

American here- I once waited 20 minutes, but have generally been in and out in maybe 5-10 total. That being said, absolutely the lines in some places are absurd. I have heard there are areas having a hard time getting poll workers given COVID. The whole process seems to be underfunded in general. Also, you are right there are states with enormously long ballot with various initiatives (like California, where many laws need a plebiscite over just having the State Legislature handle it).

Considering each county operates their own polling stations, it doesn’t seem logical they are bad by design. If the democrats lead a county, it stands to reason more polling stations result it more votes for their candidates. I live semi rural, my polling place was a 10 minute drive and there wasn’t a single person in front of me. I’d have to blame population density along with staffing issues with corona.

What is a large city run by Democrats going to do when a Republican Secretary of State uses multiple tools to systematically disenfranchise poor and minority voters? Take it to the courts? How is that working out?

If you don't want to see the obvious, exempli gratia: Texas Democrats and voting rights organisations have sued the governor to halt his order closing mail-in ballot drop-off boxes, limiting drop-off locations to just one per county (including in Harris County, one of the largest counties in the US) in the second largest state in the US.
Most affected areas? Democrat counties. Who made the policy: Republican governor.
But obviously the Dems can set this right by going all the way to the Supreme Court if needed. Oh, wait..

He was suggesting that long lines are by design to suppress voting. Which in return I pointed out that those who would stand to gain from long lines, aren’t in positions to make that happen.

And your statement is at odd with reality since Republican governors have systematically acted to disfranchise the demographics that vote for the Dems.
And that's no new policy -- it's as old as Jim Crow voter suppression laws.

One ballot box for 4.7 million voters (Harris County) is not designed to generate crazy lines?!
You are either very naive or very (intellectually) dishonest. Enough said.

Which ironically the same ballots could also be stuck in, if the drop box isn’t convenient, albeit less securely depending on who you ask. However I was referencing the lines at polling places, which are operated by counties. Unless the Texas governor has the ability to close Dallas and Austin etc polling stations to suppress voters, my original point is still valid.
“ Long lines have been reported in several states as voters attempt to avoid potentially bigger crowds next Tuesday by voting early. In New York City, more than 700 people wrapped around two blocks over the weekend for early voting, with similar scenes playing out in parts of California, Maryland and elsewhere”
I really don’t see how a Republican governor has anything to do with the quote above. That’s all I’ve been saying from the start. Voter suppression is real, however I just didn’t agree with your comment about lines being long by design.

However I was referencing the lines at polling places, which are operated by counties. Unless the Texas governor has the ability to close Dallas and Austin etc polling stations to suppress voters, my original point is still valid. “ Long lines have been reported in several states as voters attempt to avoid potentially bigger crowds next Tuesday by voting early. In New York City, more than 700 people wrapped around two blocks over the weekend for early voting, with similar scenes playing out in parts of California, Maryland and elsewhere” I really don’t see how a Republican governor has anything to do with the quote above. That’s all I’ve been saying from the start. Voter suppression is real, however I just didn’t agree with your comment about lines being long by design.

Donald Trump, by Poster Bob on Oct 28, 2020 17:43:16 GMT 1, There are always long lines on election day. Liberals deem it voter suppression but it's a fact of life. They should focus their complaints on the many valid claims they have instead of screaming "Orange man bad!"

They should focus their complaints on the many valid claims they have instead of screaming "Orange man bad!" Right, I’m certainly not trying to claim voter suppression doesn’t exist. I had a postcard sent to my house asking if I wanted an absentee ballot, polls opened Saturday for early voting at 30 some locations in my county. The nearest one was 5 miles, I was in and out in 5 minutes. Some states, some places certainly will do what they can to restrict voting in some fashion. However if your even half motivated to get it done, it’s certainly doable.

Donald Trump, by Poster Bob on Oct 28, 2020 17:54:39 GMT 1, No need to defend yourself. I can't stand either party and fully acknowledge America's sad history of continued voter suppression.

Donald Trump, by That Print Guy on Oct 28, 2020 21:14:31 GMT 1, I'll stick with "its a waste of time to explain because you won't get it anyways" but kudos to the other people that tried. Willfully ignorant.
