Emanuel Samson wasn't injured or killed after shooting up a white church (reverse of Dylann Roof).

When comparing crime stats with police shootings, blacks are the least likely to be shot. Whites are the most likely to be shot.

As much as I hate the police, they are 18 times more likely to be shot by a black guy, than the other way around.

We've had threads about this stuff.

@bi4smooth

Not sure what any of that has to do with you being a complete and total liar.

@raphjd No. The withdrawal was the one thing I agreed with Trump on. That must be a shock to you I'm sure.

@lololulu19

I wonder where our resident fake as fuck libertarian is demanding that these bitches take the vaccine or we stone them to death.

@lololulu19 said in Pfizer-BioNTech Still Immune From Lawsuits Over COVID-19 Vaccine After Federal Approval: Lawyers:

The vaccines are no longer effective... you heard it here first...

Why are there no NEW vaccines? They make new vaccines for the influenza flu every year.

Reasonable questions, and I certainly don't have ALL the answers... but let's start with the first assertion: The vaccines are no longer effective...

The COVID-19 vaccines are just as effective as ever... it's that their "lasting" influence on your immune system wanes over time. The "Booster" is supposed to kick your immune system hard enough to "make it stick" - and the booster is just another dose of the same vaccine.

Many of our vaccines are 3-dose vaccine.. the difference with COVID-19 is that the 1st 2 are so close together. It's my understanding that they're re-examining that protocol. (Remember: this is all NEW science with respect to COVID-19... we're still learning about this virus! That COVID-19 is another coronavirus doesn't really help much: we have vaccines against the flu, but not the cold - but both are caused by coronaviruses!)

As for the Flu analogy, if the same flu was infecting us each year, we wouldn't need new flu shots every year... but that's not the case. The flu that infects the world every year is different from year to year, and they cannot (yet) predict which one will be the "dominant" flu in any given year... thus, not only do you need a flu shot (of a different kind) each year, but there's a decent chance that it won't be effective against the flu that comes out THAT YEAR. (Edit: FWIW: I do NOT get the flu shot every year... I wait and see how BAD the flu "epidmic" is that year and the effectiveness of that year's shot and then make my decision. MOST years, I do NOT take the flu vaccine...)

Compare that to COVID-19 - which is (in spite of the variants) essentially the same virus world-wide, and there hasn't been a "new" one yet... just mutations, and thankfully the existing vaccines work on the mutations (so far) as well.

Finally, if (or perhaps when) COVID-19 mutates again (S. Africa is seeing a new strain that's potentially VERY dangerous), we may need NEW vaccines... let's keep our fingers crossed... that would add a whole new chapter to this ongoing, slow-rolling tragedy...

What a BITCH!

@shami94 said in This is what liberalism does to people:

Just checking in to see how raphjd's personal echo chamber is going. It's been a while but I see it hasn't changed.

It's the same: Some factless conspiracy-theory piece gets posted, and then when it's debunked, he devolves into insults because because there's no rational response to the truth. It's driven many people away from not only this forum group, but the forums in general. (Some of the latter effect might be due to the crappy new interface put up several months ago.)

Sometimes I wonder if it's all a satirical caricature. Nobody with a double-digit IQ could really believe some of the stuff that gets posted.

@bi4smooth

Agreed.

I didn't care for his politics, but he was a great actor.

@bi4smooth

Ok, dearie.

You are just a piece of shit hypocrite.

@raphjd said in Torrance police find 300 unopened recall ballots, with gun, drugs and mail, in sleeping man's car:

@bi4smooth

No, you are just a combative old twat that needs to pick a fight.

LOL - you GO boy!

@raphjd said in HOAX - TN Medical Director in charge of C-19 vaccines:

@bi4smooth

If you look, virtually all of the HOAX hate crimes are done by the left.

Some are for political purposes, others are for personal gain and others are for getting out of trouble.

None of them are "nuts". They are all dishonest assholes.

It's like all the fake rape claims.

I'm gonna let that absurd load of crap stand on its own. I think it stinks badly enough that 99.99% of people who read it will hold their nose and move on... just another pile of crap.

I've documented plenty of HOAX hate crimes by the left here, so maybe you can show all the vast amounts of similar by the right. I mean, you must have trillions to choose from, to post for us.

You don't really have any, but as always, you are just pandering to your fellow liberals by spewing shit.

@bi4smooth

Of course, you would say that because of your extreme TDS.

@raphjd said in Liberals are silent over NYC ID mandate:

@bi4smooth

I fully agree with you on the cost of ID.

I think you are being extremely hyperbolic with the rest.

Hyperbolic on the list of ID requirements?
That came directly from the State of Florida HSMV (our version of a DMV)... here Read for yourself!

Certainly there are those who want to ignore the racial component of these "requirements" - I'll grant that the Jim Crow nature is reasonably well hidden (the Civil Rights Act of 1960 required a LOT of Jim Crow laws be re-written to HIDE their intent... but the effect is the same.

As for the comment about "poor-white-trash"... that was hyperbole in the form of sarcasm....

What? Me? Sarcasm? -- NEVER!

I should clarify Naz Shah's statement.

By "abused" she actually means RAPED but is trying to downplay what has and is still going on by her own community.

@raphjd said in NY State Supreme Court sides with Project Veritas against NYT:

The NY State Supreme Court has sided with Project Veritas in their lawsuit against the New York Times.

This ruling allows the lawsuit to go ahead.

The case hinges on whether the NYT used dishonest tactics by claiming the article is opinion, after portraying it as fact.

Apparently, the case law is clearly on the side of PV on this topic. Also, the various appeals by NYT in this case, the judges have sided with PV.

NYT is citing the law on anti-SLAPP (Strategic Lawsuit Against Public Participation) to prevent this lawsuit. Every court ruling so far, in this case, the judges sided with PV, stating that the lawsuit has nothing to do with SLAPP, but rather "cloaking opinion as fact in an attempt to harm another party".

Make no mistake, the courts have not ruled that PV is correct in the case, but that that is what the lawsuit claims, which makes it a legal lawsuit regardless of SLAPP.

Great post! No hyperbole, no inexplicable sense of outrage... just the facts!
And I especially appreciated the last point of clarification: that the PV suit can go forward is not an indication of the validity of their case, only that the issue is a relevant one and both sides need to be heard.

IMHO the NYT gets full of itself at times... being brought down a peg would not be a bad thing!

Mind you, I do not agree with PV's tactics - and I'm frankly shocked that there hasn't been a liberal counter-punch to it - but that doesn't mean the NYT didn't act wrongly here...
