    How does this not make it childish? A power broker acting childish being politics doesn’t somehow mean it isn’t childish. And for tyt being losers it’s interesting how they’ve done decent work in supporting the progressives in house.

    Yes and it’s politics is the truth.

    Its a clear violation of property rights and illegal

    Like I get having it in place for when the pandemic was a thing for obvious health and economic reasons since lockdowns were in place. But thats no longer the case

    There is still a pandemic, dude. It's not over, and quite the contrary cases/deaths are on the rise once more.

    close to 100k new cases daily. 2 states are at full ICU capacity. Pandemic is no longer a thing. fucking hell.

    If you reveal you're not willing to work with your colleagues then you have no business getting the job.
    And if Turner was as popular as she seemed to think she was then spitting in Clyburn's face wouldn't have mattered. But as it was she took the risk and she lost.

    Property rights have distinct limits, and only exist as a permission from the government in the first place.

    No, it is still the case. The pandemic is not over. In the USA, it isn't even on the decline. Stop pushing death-cult disinformation bullshit.

    No, because that was their understanding that they couldn't extend the moratorium. They continued to see additional outside advice and expertise, speaking with Laurence Tribe at Harvard. This led to them to issuing a new moratorium, one which they know will be legally challenged and is hardly bullet proof.

    *shrugs* If no one would be willing to fill empty apts then landlords won't get any back rent either.
    And it would be a health hazard if former tenants camped out in front of the apt entrance.

    Of which Joe Biden isnt the supreme ruler of. Extensions of the eviction moratorium have a right way to be done, via congress. The pandemic is over, just get vaccinated

    This isn't an extension of the existing moratorium, it's a new one.

    And pixies are real. You can deny reality all you want, that doesn't make your denials true.

    The pandemic is not over just because you are over it.

  13. #9553
    Well Biden did say that if landlords got a problem with the moratorium, they'll have to go through the courts.

    A position nobody argued and which you made up because you can't defend your earlier points.

    Citation needed.

    This is an obvious, blatant, death-cult lie.

    Vaccination is not a solution. It does not prevent infection and transmission, it simply reduces the chances and reduces the severity of symptoms. This is why super-spreader events have occurred among vaccinated groups; they all attend an event, all catch COVID-19, and bring it home asymptomatically, where it spreads to the unvaccinated, like their children.

    Example, for those who haven't been paying attention to the news for some reason; https://www.seattletimes.com/nation-...re-vaccinated/

    Stop pushing disinformation that has the intent of getting people killed. Jesus Christ, what the fuck is wrong with you?

    Maybe get your head out from your fantasy world because the pandemic was never over and now is revving back up to last summer numbers. The U.S. is doing well over 100k new cases a day with a more contagious, dangerous and deadly form of the virus in the Delta variant. Oh and look there is now the Lambda variant, the newest mutation of the Covid virus, showing up that might be vaccine resistant. All because idiot Trump supporters scream "FREEDUMB!" while refusing to wear a mask or get vaccinated which leads to the virus mutating and growing stronger because that is what viruses do when they are allowed to spread over a long period of time. States are already running out of ICU beds and will soon have to choose who to help and personally any person who got Covid and wasn't vaccinated should be kicked to the curb at the hospital and be told to help themselves with their "freedumbs!". So again you might hold your hands to your ears and scream that you can't hear anything but it doesn't stop the pandemic from raging on.

    I'm truly flabbergasted at this idea that a pandemic is simply "over" when you feel it's time for it to be.

    It's over, is it? Oh, interesting...



    Oh, no, wait, it's just more bullshit.

    At least that is how the metrics are judged in countries where the vaccination ratio is reaching 70 to 80% of the population.
    Uh, okay. If that's how you feel...

    We see similar high covid cases in the EU, but hospitalizations remain relatively low.
    It's pretty bad, honestly. Only 5 US States (plus Puerto Rico) have rates off full vaccination above 60%, with Vermont leading at 67%.
    Meanwhile, 12 states have vaccination rates lower than 40%, with Alabama leading the race to the bottom at 34%.

    And when you break states down into counties/municipalities, the same discrepancies appear. In my state, Oregon, as an example, over half of all counties have vaccine rates below 50%, with only one or two counties with rates above 65%.

    As expected, the observed data, here in my state and nation wide, show a pretty revealing correlation between vaccination rates and the dominant political leaning of the given area.
