  Just the PA lawsuit alone has enough comedic gold material for years.

  The PA suit was filed just one week ago.

  As of today. 11/16, they are on their 3rd set of lawyers.

  3rd! in 7 days!

  That 3rd set, Scaringi Law Firm, is apparently going to argue the case today with less than one day's preparation time.

  Oh, the attorney who is actually going to argue the case in front of the judge? Here's what he had to say last week:

  On his radio show on Nov 7, Scaringi said that "there really are no bombshells that are about to drop that will derail a Biden presidency including these lawsuits" and "the litigation will not work"

  And this is the guy who's going to litigate....today.

  Oh man, you can't make this stuff up! I'm dyin' here!

  latest news announcement is that there are two companies that have developed a vaccine for the covid virus which they say they will start being distributing to the public in a matter of weeks.. one comes from a company called moderna (94.5% effective) and the other is from pfizer (90% effective).

  if all things go to plan you could see things return to normal once the majority of the general public is vaccinated by easter of next year.. yoo hoo .

  50-60% isolate? Where? Concentration camps?

  Obese people, the elderly, and diabetics live where other people who are theoretically immune or not gravely affected (in your view) live also.

  Spell it out to me like I'm 5 years old....

  How do you get 50-60% of the population isolated? Where? Who feeds them? Who does the jobs that they do, that they will have to abandon while they "isolate"? Who pays their rent? Who drives them to the doctor?

  It's very easy to say "oh those guys should isolate"...but how does it work in real life?

  50-60% of the US population is like 170 million people...how do you get that number "isolated"?

  slCOVID is lethal to the elderly, those who are obese, those who have diabetes, and other vulnerable groups.

  That's well over 50% of the US population.

  In 2019, about 16.5 percent of the American population was 65 years old or over

  https://www.diabetes.org/resources/statistics/statistics-about-diabetes#:

  In 2018, 34.2 million Americans, or 10.5% of the population, had diabetes.

  https://www.tfah.org/report-details/state-of-obesity-2020/#:~:text=The%20U.S.%20adult%20obesity%20rate%20stands%20at%2042.4%20percent%2C%20the,by%2026%20percent%20since%202008.

  
  The U.S. adult obesity rate stands at 42.4 percent

  The vulnerable groups should isolate; everyone else should be going to work or school, living their lives as normal as possible.

  Obviously there is quite a bit of overlap; there are obese elderly diabetics. But even so....

  How exactly does it work that 50-60% of the population "isolates" and everyone else "lives a normal life"?

  Why so doubtful Funky ?

  I am hopeful but also aware that typically vaccine development does not meet with rapid success in the majority of cases.

  Typical vaccine development takes on the order of 5-10 years. Obviously there is tremendous incentive to do this one more quickly, but on the other hand, this virus wasn't even known about a year ago, and it most likely isn't done mutating yet.

  I hope to [deity of your choice] your optimism is well-founded - but there are still significant hurdles.

  Just in the past few hours, 3 more Trump campaign lawsuits dismissed, in GA, MI, and PA.

  Trump campaign has lost 23 of 24 lawsuits decided so far.

  Oh wait - that must be the "deep state", right? LOL

  rump's lawyers won't find any evidence of wrong-doing

  Exchange from one court case on Friday 13/11 (funny how when push comes to shove, and attorneys would have to lie in order to present Trump's argument, they backpedal faster than circus clown on a unicycle):

  Politics and Hope

  so there are a lot of atheists on here.

  my question: where does your hope come from?

  that the right people will be put in political positions and will eventually form a utopian society that will meet all needs and we will have equality for all?.

  *It's not about "improving the flight experience" it's about surviving the "jump" so to speak.

  Following the illustration....

  Why would God design a plane that was inevitably going to crash, then force passengers onto it?

  Sure, he gives some a parachute, but why not build a better plane to begin with?

  Not really being flippant - in plainer (planer?) terms:

  Why design life, the universe, and everything such that if someone chooses not to believe in God, or obey God, or love God, or have faith in God, or [fill-in-the-blank] God, the only possible outcome is excruciating pain & death?

  Seems like a design flaw - in the very construction of the universe.

  Trump should absolutely keep up with the bonkers tweets.

  For the sake of the GA Senate runoff elections in about 7 weeks.

  Keeping this "issue" front & center, forcing the GOP candidates to campaign on "yeah, sure, Trump is nuts but we gotta keep humoring him" is undoubtedly a far superior strategy to "we need to retain control in the Senate to keep a Democratic president & house of representatives in check".

  Keep those thumbs a-tappin', Don!

  Height of mountains before and after the flood .

  by smiddy3 in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  it was stated many years ago in answer to how did the flood cover the top of all the mountains on earth in noah`s day.?.

  mount everest ?.

  and it was explained away by saying that the mountains before the flood were a lot smaller / lower than the mountains that exist today.. so there was no problem .. when the deluge began with so much volume of water now covering the earth ( water being heavy ) pushed down into the weakest parts of the earth and raised up in other parts of the earth to where we now have higher mountains than existed before the flood of noah`s day.. in other words mount everest didn`t exist at its present height before the flood and neither did any other high mountain that exists today ,the topography all changed with the noachian flood.

  Actually, here is the quote from the Insight Book:

  Resurrection During 1,000 Years. The exact number of humans who have ever lived is unknown to humans. However, by way of illustration, if Jehovah resurrects 20 billion (20,000,000,000) people, there would be no problem as to living space and food for them. The land surface of the earth at present is about 148,000,000 sq km (57,000,000 sq mi), or about 14,800,000,000 ha (36,500,000,000 acres). Even allowing half of that to be set aside for other uses, there would be more than a third of a hectare (almost 1 acre) for each person.

  This was written in the late 80's so yes, the number of "dead resurrected ones" scheduled to come back has grown in the intervening 30+ years.

  I don't know where they got the 20 billion from.
