    I'll say it again. All this nonsense is an indictment of the American education system. Seriously -- where are the (even most basic) critical thinking skills? Occam's razor, anyone?

    The legitimacy of the court is being destroyed by the Republicans, who are using deceitfulness, hypocrisy, and naked power grabbing to install a Supreme Court that is far more conservative than the American public. I have read some analysis that suggests this court, with Judge Barrett on board, will be more conservative (as in, more hostile to civil rights and more friendly to business interests) than any court since the 1930s when the court was busy invalidating every New Deal program that came before it. Any court that seeks to turn the clock back almost a century will be seen as an enemy of the people by most of the population. If adding to the court is the only way to restore some balance, that would be (in my opinion) less damaging than the current direction. The question the Republicans are demanding that Biden answer is similar to the old "when did you stop beating your wife" canard. It is designed to have no correct answer, and to take attention away from the way Republicans are stacking the court with extremist Federalist Society alumni. Republicans have literally no platform (at least, that they are willing to disclose to the public) other than King Trump, so they have abdicated any right to demand any answers on policy matters from the Democrats.

    That's not what he's said at all. Scenario A: Either a full travel ban from hotspots or mandatory quarantine for all incoming travelers. Everyone gets locked down regardless of citizenship. Scenario B: No travel restrictions, no quarantine. Scenario C: Let citizens return from hotspots freely, with no quarantining or tracing. Non-citizens blocked from travel, but this only reduces incoming numbers by say, 30%. Trump said he called for Scenario A. This was bullshit. What actually happened was C. B & C are functionally identical for the purposes of controlling spread. YES there are slight differences in the end case figures, no one is disputing that. What they are saying is that A was the method that would actually be a control. It never happened.

    Just another reason to move all this shit online. The entire world economy--every stock in existence in every country in existence, and the sum of all money in every account at every bank in every legitimate currency--can be accessed online, even via my phone while taking a shit. We are able to do that all the time, but we cant vote online? I'd say trillions of dollars in stock and cash in digital form is worth more than any election is, so safe to say that we have already done 'bigger, better things' online so safe to say the medium has been tested and demonstrated as acceptable.

    Perhaps a blockchain document verification system might be a similar solution: https://medium.com/blockchainexpert-blog/document-verification-using-blockchain-a02c059ed97b

    George Floyd once served 10 months in prison on a charge of supplying $10 of drugs, on the word of a cop with a history of fabricating evidence. This fat old white guy effectively steals a quarter of a billion in public money and pleads down to a misdemeanour with no jail time. Freedom really isn't free, you only get it if you can afford it. Of course. Why wouldn't another rich career criminal be welcomed into the Trump orbit with open arms, so he can make more money selling access to Trump to other career criminals from around the world. Yet more evidence of the sheer insanity of anyone who rails against 'the elite' but supports Trump. No-one knows more about elitism than Trump, believe me...
