  looks like a combination of plaquenil and antibiotic azithromycin can be used to treat covid-19 infected individuals!

  I hope they don't cause psychosis like that antimalarial mephloquine.

  That stuff might as well be angel dust.

  Generally Speaking Do You Trust Your Government?

  as a us citizen, i am usually a bit skeptical of what comes out of the mouths of government officials.

  often they may speak the truth but i’m not convinced of whatever they are saying as being 100% true.

  do you believe your government implicitly?

  I trust the Federal Government less than my State and Local Government, because State and Local Governments have Ballot Initiatives as a safeguard.

  I'm grateful to live in a country where we have the right to mock and badmouth the President or any other elected official.

  There will be a sliver lining to the virus

  so for years the usa has been relying on cheap labor in china.

  supply lines were never interrupted.

  china has gotten away with murder in its sending anything it wants with little checking of its goods.

  The silver lining. Where do I start.

  We do need borders, but deporting people who have been here for 20 years is a waste of resources that breaks up families and upsets struggling farms and businesses. It has a net effect of shrinking the economy, wasting tax dollars. And doing it now will only further spread disease internationally. Whoever is here should stay, build an electronic wall rather a physical one. Too many planes have been screwing up the ozone layer flying, transporting entitled, degenerate tourists who get drunk and puke everywhere.

  No preacher wants to preach that the coronavirus is God's judgment on man for overconsumption and individual overambition with no regard for the planet. It doesn't inspire people to follow or donate, because it makes them sound as annoying as a smug environmental studies professor. It is the polar opposite of the Prosperity Gospel of Televangelists. But humanity deserves to be collectively humbled for how we have been treating each other and the planet.

  People should be staying at home more, spending time with family, making homemade food and fixing things from DIY videos on youtube rather than buying a new junky one from China. This coronavirus is a time-out, putting the important things in perspective. That is the silver lining.

  Amen Bruvver Smiddy, no Sister Dinah or any of the Mary's in the meeting. Just clean shaven old men, just like in the Bible. (sarc.)

  If you want to catch up on things in the world that you missed out on...

  i highly recommend the https://unculturedcast.com/.

  they have an episode coming up on demon stories that gets into the psychology of the situation and explains so much we faced or face as pomo.

  also i recommend listening to the episodes on the matrix as the parallels to jw life are amazingly similar..

  For some reason Nobody's Looking on Netflix reminds me of the JW Organization.

  I'm just old and unhealthy enough for it to be a crapshoot if I catch it, but if Old People living in temperate climates where coronavirus thrives don't care about climate change and the fate young climate refugee families why should Young People care about coronavirus?

  Everybody is selfish, just about different things.

  Iowa Democratic Caucus - Just WOW

  by Simon in

  1. social
  2. current

  there was a babylon bee or onion spoof article a few weeks back claiming the democrats would lose their own caucus and ... well, they managed to do it for real.. apparently they can't count their own votes, their app and process is now steeped in corruption (created by a company called 'shadow' that has taken money from multiple candidates as well as the dnc and has links to clinton) and multiple candidates have declared themselves the winner.

  biden has apparently done so badly that he's going to court to block the results being announced.

  no estimate of when they will be released even.. how do they come up with this ... and what does it mean for the election results where they oversee the counts?.

  The Democrats love to call Republicans racist, but when they get two great populist candidates who are People of Color, Andrew Yang and Tulsi Gabbard, who actually don't play identity politics, they talk about them not being electable. It makes them as pathetic, hypocritical, and revolting as the Trump Cult that the Republicans have become.

  I've cynically registered as Republican to vote for Bill Weld in the Primary, so no one can say I didn't take a stand against Trump. I did it holding my nose! Then I'll probably do a write in for Vermin Supreme or something, because the electoral college have disenfranchised voters like me. Either all of California or all of Texas is feeling cheated no matter who wins, so I say let both California and Texas secede and leave an America, that will be smaller, poorer, monolingual, politically moderate, and boring.

  he has been “impeached “.

  will he be convicted in the senate?

  is he so “damaged goods” that he is ineffectual?

  Pelosi is holding on to the Articles of Impeachment until after the State of the Union address. Whether Joe Biden gets subpoenaed and looks like a senile idiot and whether the SOTU address is a garbage fire as Trump becomes paranoid and unhinged will decide who wins in 2020. Warren most likely, and I don't like her but she's better than having Trump.

  Has leaving made you racist

  so i use to go this hall that was basically 100 percent white and basically anyone under the age of 40 has either faded or makes a token effort to keep the peace at home, of course outside of the usual dregs of society .

  the hall went from two congs to one and i was quite happy that in ten years they would be lights out.

  then in the last two years about six young filipino families have moved in and three of them are newly baptized .

  Maybe you're subconsciously replacing one prejudice (against the worldly) for another one (against people from countries you know little about.)

  The largest natively Filipino denomination, the Iglesia Ni Cristo is a huge non-trinitarian church with at one point millions of members that has been rocked by scandal after scandal over the past quarter century, leaving a spiritual and social void that the JWs are only too eager to fill.
