I’m pretty sure Dr. Fauci appears before Congress on a regular basis and you can ask him any question you want, like your moron Senate colleagues. You don’t need to be in the majority.
It’s nauseating how when they talk about regaining the majority, it’s never about what they plan to do to help the American people. It’s strictly about revenge for them.
This! Whilst busy musing over the fascist GQP, we’ve just seen, from afar, one of the biggest volcanic explosions ever observed by our accurate-news-starved race of goof balls. The tsunami affected the entire Pacific basin. And narry a dash of sentient amazement. Holy shit cubed.
Honestly, given the nature of the asinine, willful, overblown hyperbole of the press ($$$) in its overall following and interpreting our news, we are flying into man made disaster with the blessing of the natural world.
It’s truly dumber than dirt. Just like a bunch of nine year olds accusing one another of doing what the last punk did.
Then: This is the West, sir. When the legend becomes fact … print the legend. (The Man Who Shot Liberty Valance)
Now: This is America in the time of Trumpian disinformation, sir. When the Gd-damned, utterly lacking in nuance, designed-to-divide-rather-than-inform, bright-shiny-object-over-here, both-sides-do-it journalism sells advertising space and keeps us competitive … print the Gd-damned, utterly lacking in nuance, designed-to-divide-rather-than-inform, bright-shiny-object-over-here both-sides-do-it journalism
Absolutely correct. Most all of our adjuncts were excellent. But because they were part time, only a few had office space and/or office hours (determined by department). Since they were so poorly paid, they rarely had extra time on campus to spend with students (or even mentoring faculty) because they had to move on to the next part time job.
In other news from Canuckistan, there are some strong indicators that Omicron is cresting in the Nation’s Capital. Hospitalizations and ICU admissions have stabilized over the last six days.
This is significant because Ottawa was the first city to see delta wiped-out by omicron in mid December. If the numbers continue to improve this week, it would portend good news to any locality with high vaccination rates; implying that omicron will decline within a 4 to 6 week window.
Perhaps because there’s a higher level of full vaccination. Here in AZ, vaccination rates are not nearly so good, 58% fully vaccinated as opposed to 73% for NY, and I expect (speculate) that Omicron will plateau here for a while before declining.
I am hopeful more of our first-timers will stick around, but there were plenty of people who voted Biden in 2020 purely to get rid of Trump. With that existential need sated, they may well go back to nonparticipation. I’m kind of expecting a reversion to the 2018 mean, which was a pretty good year for Team Blue.
Didn’t last time: Trump lost fair and square by some 7 million votes.
Of course, if Trump had been able to cheat over some 80,000 strategically located votes he would have been installed. Trump damn well tried and Sen. Cassidy knows this.
