Given that this is usually part of the MMR vaccine, I am wondering if there is an increase in cases of mumps/rubella?

This is my understanding too. He’s such a moron, always telegraphing everything. In any other country, and especially without his wealth…

No one who speaks like a complete fucking idiot could be an evil man

He is a grandiose narcissist facing jail for life after his term. He will keep doubling down and keep escalating, especially when his polling doesn’t recover. He will ask about nuclear weapons more and more.

This is such an insane and clear and present danger.

I have repeatedly called, emailed, wrote, and tried to visit every representative I have, and many whose constituency I am not a part of. I have spoken to all of my friends about this. I have donated to nonprofits and some politicians who oppose this insanity.

And it wasn’t enough. I left the country.

Yeah interest and inflation both crap on this, I’d think. There are many other ways to shit stir about the majority of the boomers but this one is weak

A few 9/11s a month. If it were terrorism, we’d write a new constitution.

Yep! Elections are different because they’re on a relentless schedule. Even a judges injunction ain’t worth much

This is a really fascinating scenario. As far as I know, we’ve never had an election re-do. I wonder what in heck could trigger one

It may be unpopular around here, but the pardon power of the presidency needs to go.

Especially the power that pardons people for all crimes

It undermines the rule of law and sets a precedent that the president is above the law

It isn’t a check on the judiciary, it’s a way to negate the idea that nobody is above the law.

Case in point: Ford pardoning Nixon Case in point: Biden pardoning his family for any crimes in a time period

To illustrate with just one small example: all recent negative reviews of Yosemite National Park on Google Maps complain about the $100 non-citizen fee to enter. Teddy Roosevelt might be pissed off enough to climb out of his grave.

Yep it’s an authoritarian people that put in an authoritarian state. The war on drugs got us far, and the USA PATRIOT Act got us further. It’s completely bipartisan.

There are no true and viable classical conservative or libertarian parties in the US.

Unfortunately, with many peers in Europe at this stage. They were ok for a while when the memories of the war and later the east German police were fresh, but people eventually begin to demand perfect safety at any cost. And the cycle repeats.
