@raphjd said in Pfizer Confirms COVID-Vaccinated People Can ‘Shed’ Spike Proteins And Harm The Unvaccinated:

https://www.nationaltimesaustralia.com/health/pfizer-confirms-covid-vaccinated-people-can-shed-spike-proteins-and-harm-the-unvaccinated/

What a piece of shit "reporting"... this is a right-wing Australian publication who is twisting a report of "all claims" as somehow a "confirmation" from Pfizer...

Once again, just a little "critical thinking" debunks some of these baseless claims:

Your body is bombarded with billions of random "spike proteins" (and with certainty: deadly bacteria & active viruses themselves!) every minute of every day. But you have a natural protection barrier: your skin (though I suspect your's is so thin as to offer little, if any protection IRL!). For the COVID-19 spike proteins to cause a reaction in your body, they have to be INSIDE the body - where they themselves are completely harmless! The way the vaccine works is that these spike proteins trigger an immune response - that's the inflammation people report. You could literally drink a QUART of the vaccines and it wouldn't harm you... your digestive system is well accustomed to killing off bacteria and viruses, and digesting proteins - which is why this isn't an ORAL vaccine! The vaccine doesn't "course through your body" - it pretty much stays put in your arm muscle (where its been injected), which is why the inflammation and soreness typically linger there - at ther injection site. IF the vaccine NEEDED to "course through your body" to work, it would be injected into your blood stream, not a muscle - the way most antibiotics and drugs (not vaccines) are administered in hospitals. (IV drug users know the difference!).

Vaccines are not DRUGS - they are "cheat sheets" for your immune system. YOUR IMMUNE SYSTEM HAS TO DO THE WORK - which is why the vaccines don't work well (in some cases, at all) for immuno-compromised people.

Really people: take - just a little - time to learn HOW these things work, and the fucking magic disappears - and with it, the booga booga attempts to scare you!

@raphjd said in Youngkin (R) wins:

Youngkin (R) has won the Virginia Governorship

Thankfully, the DEMs attempts to plaster Trump all over Youngkin failed. If anything, it turned out MORE Republican voters!

NJ is a close race - too close to call as I write this... which is A-W-E-S-O-M-E, as NJ is usually a reliably BLUE State!

Another Republican candidate who didn't shove Trump away, but also didn't embrace him either!

@raphjd I don't understand why liberals hate Fuckaburger so much. The only theory I have is that Fuck gave the liberals about $200 million worth of shit.. but they wanted $2 billion!

@raphjd said in Teen shreds school board over mask mandates:

@bi4smooth

You can't read.

I was saying that the school board trusts the science when it goes their way and doesn't trust the science when it goes against them.

And I agreed with that - completely.

"No Shirt,....." rules are by business choice or by health code for food safety.

"No Shirt...." rules are for public health... the same as mask rules during a pandemic where the pathogen is aerosol spread

@lololulu19 said in Rep "CryBaby" Kinzinger won't run for re-election:

Pelosi committed itself in a 2016 deal to stepping down as the leader of the House democrats in 2022.

I wonder how that will affect her influence over the democrat lemmings in the House. Since they know she is toothless after 2022, they don't have to fear her reprisals anymore.

We can only hope that Pelosi actually adheres to her 2018 "campaign" promise to NOT seek re-election to Speaker in 2022... then again, we can also hope that the point is moot, as Dems shouldn't be in control of the House in 2022 to begin with! (NOTE: Technically, the election happens in 2022, the next Speaker election won't happen as a result until early 2023!)

Love her or hate her, Pelosi has been an effective Dem leader... in all the ways that make Republicans revile her!

So, losing her would be a benefit to us! But again, the point should be moot and she should retire from Congress and annoy her grandchildren! 🙂

As for Kinsinger, as you noted in your piece above, he was essentially gerrymandered out of his seat. And that comes as a surprise to anyone?

Dem States are gerrymandering their delegations to be more Dem, Republican States are gerrymandering their delegations to have more Republicans... shocking!

What REALLY should happen is that we should fix this broken system where partisan politics feeds on itself and extremes on both sides get to advance their agendas because of a lack of a NEED for there to be a middle-ground.

If we drew our district boundaries in a less partisan (non-partisan is a pie-in-the-sky impossible dream) fashion, we'd have more competitive districts and the Legislature would be able to accomplish more... more that's GOOD for America - all of America, not just one extreme or another.

Hmmm... filed 24-hours before the on-site voting happens in Virginia...

Certainly worth investigating, as accepting foreign funds for campaigns in Federal Elections is illegal (not so sure about State campaigns - I think that would be up to States' own laws - but I'd be shocked if any State did NOT make it illegal!). Despite the claims of some of the sites contributing to Breitbart's story, I don't think Federal Elections laws apply to non-Federal elections. That's a hallmark of our democracy: elections are local, and our system is entirely de-centralized... making the kind of system-wide "conspiracy" that is central to the "Trump 2020 lie" almost impossible to achieve!

That said, I'm not a lawyer at all - and that means I'm definitely not an elections lawyer.

But the timing of the complaint smells...

I don't think the Republican Candidate against McCauliffe (Glenn Youngkin) needs any "shady" help... he should be able to defeat this Dem fair and square! Even in a State (VA) that's been leaning Blue lately...

The old testament is loaded with animal sacrifices.. and then that wasn't enough so they had the story of Isaac and Abraham. Then they made the sacrifice of JC the premise for the entire new testament.

It's interesting that in the OT, they make it very clear that they don't just sacrifice any animals.. they are to sacrifice their BEST animals.

What kind of insanity ever came up with the premise of sacrificing the best?

In many civil wars, they intentionally rounded up the intellectuals and killed them! (because they were a threat to the ruling class). When the ruling class is comprised of religious nuts, WATCH OUT! They will do absolutely anything, and sanctify it in the name of religion.

Ibram X Kendi's tweet inadvertently called out Sen "Fauxcahontas" Warren and how she lied claiming to be Native American to get an advantage.

If there is so much white privilege, then why do whites need to lie to get a bit of equality?

@rivnerobby "I don't know you but am assuming" = not enough to be a conspiracy but enough to make you whack-a-doodle theorist. Lacking comprehension and personal connection yet attempted to draw a speculation about someone, at least be aware of the contradiction between your own statements.

@raphjd said in Virginia Gov election is all about Trump, not the issues, says Biden and other DNC:

Biden, Kamala, and countless other DNCers say that the Virginia Gov election is about Trump, not about the actual issues.

Biden has even expressed his love and admiration for Gov "blackface", the outgoing DNC governor. You may remember the photos of the governor in college dressed in blackface, but his excuse was that he wasn't the one in blackface, but rather he was the one in the KKK outfit as if that made it better. Other photos proved it was him in blackface though, so he lied, and Democrats still loved him.

Of course the Dems want to paint this election (VA Gov) as a Trump race - they win when Trump is on the ballot!

If you didn't see it, the DNC mailed out flyers to NOVA (No. Virginia) residents touting (falsely) how close Republican candidate Glenn Youngkin is with Trump! It VERY MUCH looked like a typical candidate mailing - something the RNC might have put out, were Trump a positive in this election... but he is NOT, so it was the DNC sending out that mailer in a kind-of reverse Trump "booster"...

Time will tell if it works...

But hopefully this tactic fails - Youngkin is a good candidate. He should have no trouble beating well-known McAuliffe - even in a State that's been leaning Blue lately. The Dem (McAuliffe) comes with a lot of baggage!

@bi4smooth

It may be old news, but it's true.

@raphjd said in Republicans demand answers from Biden Cabinet on reported $450,000 payments to illegal immigrants:

https://www.foxnews.com/politics/murphy-letter-cabinet-secretaries-horrific-decision

While $450K seems a bit steep, paying something families who were illegally separated by Trump Administration officials that violated US laws and UN rules does seem reasonable. We really wouldn't want to be hauled into the US or World Courts with what they did... they potential payouts could be MUCH MUCH higher!

NOTE TO @raphjd and other Trumnpites: when Trump told his Federal Employees to do things that were a violation of US law, he didn't protect them, or the US Government from lawsuits arising from those illegal activites. Doing something illegal because the President told you to might protect the individual, but will not protect the US Government itself from liability.

Remember: he was President Trump, not Emperor Trump!

@kekkaishi said in $10mil "reverse" discrimination win:

@bi4smooth Good for him. Did they tell him outright that they wanted a woman to replace him?

They argued (in court) that it wasn't because she was a woman, but because of WHO she was... but that was easily refuted by their own communications with my Dad. They were eager to hire a woman - any woman - and this woman wanted to work HERE!

One of the reasons my dad's next job paid so well was because they also (in addition to paying) had to release him from his non-compete... so he went to work for a competitor!

@kekkaishi said in Rules for you, but not for illegals:

Yes. illegals don't have special rights, so you can't enforce vaccine rules, yet democrats support more illegal immegration

The issue is that if Democrats are so concerned about covid, hence the vaccine mandates and lockdowns, then why import more and more illegals that cannot be vetted properly and tested for covid (we all know why....). That is why it's furiating. It's not about covid, it's not about the health of the people or their safety, it's about taking control of the individual's freedom and mindset.

It is ridiculous to say that even Dems are inviting illegal immigration... do they want looser laws (stupidly!)? yes... but "open borders" is something only the ultra-far-left (AOC crazies anyone?) are in favor of...

Dems are not "importing illegals" - remember that Biden's southern-border strategy isn't very different at all from Trump's! (Lots of finger-pointing pre-election, and ass-covering post-election! - As I've said repeatedly: it's easy to point fingers at the ones in power, when you're NOT in power and say "that sucks" - it's another thing entirely when you're the one in power and have to have (and implement) a "better solution"!)

To be clear: I'm not supporting the Dems in their desires to increase immigration - but I'm not going to make absurd claims against them either!
