feedthenation: Mar-A-Lago's hometown newspaper endorsed Biden for president
Rarely have so many Americans yearned so strongly to remove a sitting president.
Count The Palm Beach Post Editorial Board among them.
Donald J. Trump’s intentionally divisive presidency is hurtling us toward the most alarming threat to American democracy that any of us has ever seen. For the first time, we have a president who cannot bring himself to commit to the peaceful transition of power. In many other countries, across many centuries, this road often has led to bloodshed, to tyranny.
This is our moment — now — to stand up for democracy. To stand up, each of us, for dignity, civility and competence. To stand up for the hope of an America where we might solve the many problems we face with dialogue and give-and-take and honesty. It is time to vote for Joseph R. Biden.
PrideofLincoln1: When did you become a supporter of the Racist Pig in the White House ?. If you live in US, you will feel as I do. How come over 90% of Black Americans think Trump is a racist and that's according to the latest Quinnipiac Poll.
Trump is a racist pig but that's no reason to call his Nigerian supporters coons. Ignorant, they definitely are though, so deserve sympathy for not knowing what they talk about.
Most people do. They just don't understand they do.
You'd like education and healthcare to cost you less than it actually cost to provide it for instance, and you'd like dead people not to litter the street. And if we allowed you to be in charge of the resources you own, like if every Nigerian State owned what came out of its soil, I'm certain you'd be delighted.
But I bet, you, like most, don't understand what socialism is.
Please go check what happened to US debt in that period and since, then let me know if Nigeria should increase debt and give tax cut because of what you claim below.
sexylassie2: You know nothing. Tax cut encourages retirement savings and business innovation. I am sure your biased mind wint allow you to see that.
President Trump signed the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act (TCJA) into law on Dec. 22 2017.
Tax rate for corporate bodies drop to 21% while for individuals.The top rate fell from 39.6% to 37%, while the 33% bracket dropped to 32%, the 28% bracket to 24%, the 25% bracket to 22%, and the 15% bracket to 12%.
65% of Americans benefitted from tax cut thanks to the new code.
Anybody that says taxcut is evil does not know anything about economics.
Futuragetty: There are two former Republicans whose profound intellect and command of the language I respect. They are George Will and Steve Schmidt. Trump tried attacking Steve (head of the Lincoln Project and former Campaign Manager for John McCain) on Twitter and he got skewered. Read Steve's response below.
“You’ve never beaten me at anything. This is our first dance. Did you like, Covita? We are so much better at this than your team of crooks, wife beaters, degenerates, weirdos and losers. You are losing. We heard you loved Evita. You saw it so many times. Where will you live out your years in disgrace? Will you buy Jeffrey Epstein’s island? One last extra special deal from him? Or will you be drooling on yourself in a suite at Walter Reed? Maybe you will be in prison? I bet you fear that. The Manhattan District Attorney may not be around to cover for you or your crooked kids anymore. Eliza Orlins doesn’t believe in different sets of rules for the Trumps. What about the State Attorney General? You know what you’ve done.
Oh, Donald. Who do you owe almost $500 million in personally guaranteed loans to? It's all coming down. You think you and your disgusting family are going to be in deal-flow next year? Are you really that delusional? You are lucky Chris Wallace interrupted you after Joe Biden said you weren’t smart. You started to melt down. That’s the place that hurts the most. Right? Fred Sr., knew it. You’ve spent your whole life proving it. You aren’t very smart. You couldn’t take the SAT on your own. What was the real score? 970? We both know you know. Are the steroids wearing off? Is the euphoria fading? Do you feel foggy? Tired? Do you ache? How is the breathing? Hmmm. Are you watching TV today? We will have some nice surprises for you. Everyone is laughing at you. You are a joke. A splendid slowpoke turned deadly clown. Did you watch Martha McSally in her debate against American hero, fighter pilot, test pilot, astronaut Capt. Mark Kelly? She is so embarrassed by you. She is ashamed and full of self-loathing for the choice she made in following you over the cliff. She is in free fall noa w. She will lose, like most of them, because of you. We hear from the White House and the campaign everyday. The very day trying you. They are looking to get out alive and salvage careers and their names. It’s Ivanka Trump and Jared Kushner vs. Donald Trump Jr., and Kimberly Guilfoyle on the inside. They are at war over scraps and who gets to command what will be the remnants of your rancid cult. It’s almost over now. You are the greatest failure in American history. You are the worst president in American history. Disgrace will always precede your name. Your grandchildren and great-grandchildren will grow up ashamed of their names. One day, I suppose there will be some small and not- a much-visited lA library that bears your name. It will be the type of place where a drunk walks by, staring at the wall for a minute, before deciding it is beneath his dignity to piss on. That’s what is waiting for you. Joe Biden is a better man. He’s smarter. He’s winning. Do you remember when you didn’t want to name Donald Trump Jr., Donald because you were worried about him being a loser named Donald? You were right about that. He is. But it is you who will be remembered as America’s greatest loser. You will be crushed in the election!”
ZooOga: Covid drug given to Trump developed using cells derived from aborted fetus Trump touts Regeneron antibody cocktail as a potential ‘cure’ while he has consistently sought to restrict abortion access
One of the drugs taken by Donald Trump that he has touted as a potential “cure” for coronavirus was developed using human cells originally obtained from an elective abortion, a practice repeatedly denounced by the president and many of his supporters.
The drug is a monoclonal antibody cocktail developed by Regeneron. The president received an 8-gram infusion under a “compassionate use” exemption when he was hospitalized over the weekend after testing positive for Covid-19. There is no cure for Covid-19, and the drug is not approved.
The stem cells used to develop the drug are known as HEK-293T cells, a line of cells used in laboratories. The cells were originally derived from an embryonic kidney after an elective abortion performed in the Netherlands in the 1970s.
Trump has consistently sought to restrict abortion access, including most recently, when he nominated the conservative Catholic Judge Amy Coney Barrett to the supreme court last month. The anti-abortion movement is one of Trump’s most enthusiastic bases of support.
The 2020 Republican party platform explicitly opposes embryonic stem cell research, and calls for a ban on federal funding for embryonic stem cell research.
Trump has already limited research using embryonic stem cells for ideological reasons. In 2019, his administration paused funding for government scientists to work on studies involving embryonic stem cells, affecting about $31m in research, according to Science Magazine.
“We stopped the federal funding of fetal tissue research, which everybody felt was so important …” the president told supporters in January 2020. “We’re standing up to the pro-abortion lobby like never before.”
The HEK-293T line of cells has been “immortalized”, meaning they divide freely in the lab. Regeneron said the company does not consider the cells “tissue”.
“It’s how you want to parse it,” a Regeneron spokeswoman, Alexandra Bowie, told the MIT Technology Review. “But the 293T cell lines available today are not considered fetal tissue, and we did not otherwise use fetal tissue.”
Development of the Regeneron antibody cocktail is supported by a $450m grant from the Biomedical Advanced Research and Development Authority (Barda).
The Susan B Anthony List, a leading US anti-abortion group, did not immediately respond to a request for comment. However, the anti-abortion movement has weighed in on other Covid-19 drugs in development. At least five Covid-19 vaccine candidates used either HEK-293T cells or a proprietary line of cells developed by Janssen from a 1985 elective abortion.
In April, the influential US Conference of Catholic Bishops wrote to the US government to ask that it “incentivize” vaccine candidates developed without use of such cells.
“It is critically important that Americans have access to a vaccine that is produced ethically: no American should be forced to choose between being vaccinated against this potentially deadly virus and violating his or her conscience,” the letter said, as reported by Science Magazine.
Regeneron has worked with the US government to develop monoclonal antibody therapies for years. In 2018, researchers from Regeneron and the US government used the same line of stem cells in development of a therapy for the Ebola virus, according to a study published in the Journal of Infectious Diseases.
“Research using such stem cells allows Regeneron to model complex diseases, test new drug candidates and can help unlock new scientific insights that ultimately could lead to the discovery of new treatments for people with serious diseases,” Regeneron said in an April 2020 statement.
Regeneron’s drug is not available to the public and has been tested on only 275 people to date. Therapies in the same class as Regeneron’s antibody cocktail cost on average more than $96,000 per course.
The Trump administration has worked systematically to limit abortion access in the United States and abroad. Vice-President Mike Pence has said: “I long for the day Roe v Wade is sent to the ash heap of history,” referring to the US supreme court decision which has allowed for women to obtain legal abortions since 1973.
itchie: Aren't you quoting the wrong person with this message? You know those who have been calling Nigeria the poverty capital of the world on this forum, address your message to them and don't pretend you don't know their names because you do.
Timiofak: Those guys would rather vote a cow than vote a southern that is more educated and more experienced than any of there leaders. And yes we are actually the poverty capital, hard to accept but it is what it is
One magazine does not get to define us. There are poorer places than Nigeria. India has far more poverty than we have, as does the Democratic Republic of Congo. And it's not true that Northerners would rather vote a cow than a Southerner. They'll vote for whoever their leader asks them to vote for, and their leader is usually their oppressor.
We down South differ in that we listen to what is described as a serpent, and eat the fruits of the tree of knowledge of good and evil. If we didn't, we'd be ignorant and enslaved like the Northerners.
Timiofak: It is that religion i have issues with gan gan, how can serial adulterer claim to be a christain, and you all are shouting he is jesus, jesus would be appaled looking at these lots, i had a discussion with one of pro trump people the other day when i was at a bootcamp, he said he likes trump because of his comic characteristics, that he is fun to watch, I was appalled like really?.
Total rubbish! First of your's I'd say this about, note. Nigeria includes the North, the South, the East and West. Remove any of the parts and it ain't Nigeria no more, and you can't keep people from migrating to your land.
Whatever issues you face down South is faced in triplicate up North. Some oppress the majority by keeping them stupid so they can be easily manipulated. They do this by underfunding schools and not encouraging education which is the reason we have so many ignorant and stupid people all over the country, moreso up North, but everywhere else too..
It's not easy, and it takes time, but once the Northern youths are educated, the nation will be transformed, but unfortunately this is not going to happen soon so they'll swarm down South, and we Southerners, instead of putting them in school will be bigots and racist towards them and thereby exacerbate the problems. Eventually, however, its Northern youths who would rise up and demand change.
It's not the accepted view, I know, but not many understand the oppression in the North and the need to liberate them and how.
Timiofak: One thing is inevitable, Nigeria can never be great till it splits or we totally forget the north. And neither is happening soon, so I totally forget about it and let be, about why nigeria wont be great let me run an analysis by you
If in 2023 as much as we hate buhari, atiku and el rufai come out for election, one is a thief the other is a jihadist, who would you pick, atiku obviously the thief, so not great. Now if in 2023 apc wants to do great by us, looks for an intellectual like fashola, or one othe young vibrant southern, most people would still vote for atiku, because of apc issues, notherners majorly would rather vote atiku than any southerner, now if apc hosts el rufai, and pdp puts obi, a young vibrant man, notherners would vote for el rufai instead, so for us to be better, we need to forget the north totally they dont have anything good to bring for now, pick two southerners that are vibrant then we pick, we call out buhari everyday, but what can we do ? Notherners call the shots, we just watch. We watch us politics because its the leader of the free world thats all, enjoy either ways.
This shows how stupid the video editor is and how many just can't reason right. It's like speaking Igbo and Hausa to a Yoruba only speaking person and asking which is the better tribe. Unfortunately, that is precisely the stupid way that very many reason, as we will see in this thread.
Timiofak: since yesterday I discovered a lot of them are actually retards, so I go dey pick randomly who I go reply
So, you finally figured it out, lol. Got to say, I enjoy your responses but wish you wouldn't let losers consume your time. They say #WWG1WGA but it means, what one of them says must be ignorantly parroted by them all.
itchie: Proud boys are not white supremacists, they even have black members. .
The slave owners had black overseers too.
The Proud Boys are a far-right, neo-fascist and male-only organization that promotes and engages in political violence in the United States and Canada. While the group officially rejects racism, several members have been affiliated with white supremacy and they have been described by US intelligence organisations as "a dangerous white supremacist group".
Kachills: [s]I'm going to sleep and here's my final take on the debate:
Mike Pence was gentlemanly, very intelligent and focused on his message. He outlined Trump's plan for America in very clear and relatable terms, Kamala on the other hand behaved like an unrefined high school girl, smirking and rolling her eyes like a spoilt brat, she couldn't get Biden's campaign message across, rather she spent the night dodging questions she was asked and reciting some memorized nonsense. Her entire performance came across as scripted and inauthentic.
We need to see more of Mike Pence on the campaign trail, he is a gem[/s].
