Ok then...? What's okay about you trying to gloss over djt's complete failures ???

Do you actually believe that anyone other than tRump sycophants would possibly fall for your old Move-The-Goalpost routine? Pitiful.

That isn't likely - - just as you sound as if you followed tRump around like you had a ring in your nose, the SS and the N**is could have been able to count on you as you extolled the "freedom" they offerred and proudly thought of yourself as a patriot.

One could only hope !!!

Well ST, you and I read vastly different books.

And there you go again with the threats - - it wouldn't surprise me in the least to discover that you were at the I**********n on Capitol Hill - - it sounds like just your speed.

If you videotaped yourself like so many of the other dummkopfs, the arresting officers will be at YOUR door pretty soon...

I know that you Radical Right Wing Crazies think you have exclusive rights to this chat room, but this isn't One Out-of-Sorts Nutzo Sovereign W***e S*********t Plaza, this is One POLITICAL Plaza.

If a little post that takes a different position than your own personal beliefs is too much heat for you, then you need to get out of the kitchen. Have a civilized discussion ot Hit the Road Jack...

No. You first !!!

Biden only took the helm 19 days and djt supporters are already looking to find a scapegoat for their guy who did nothing except incite a Capitol Hill i**********n (which got people k**led, terrified elected officials and staff, and destroyed federal property); hide out in his office pouting like a child; and play a little golf, but did absolutely nothing for the country or the v***s during his lame duck interval.

Yes, Merck is discontinuing their v*****e development, but it isn't for the reason you've stated as their decision to change focus had NOTHING to do with the idea of herd immunity...

In a major setback, Merck [will] stop developing its two C****-** v*****es and focus on therapies. Merck said Monday it will stop developing both of the current formulations of the C****-** v*****es the company was working on, citing inadequate immune responses to [their] shots.

www.statnews.com - Jan 25, 2021

Merck (NYSE: MRK), known as MSD outside the United States and Canada, today announced that the company is discontinuing development of its SARS-CoV-2/C****-** v*****e candidates, V590 and V591, and plans to focus its SARS-CoV-2/C****-** research strategy and production capabilities on advancing two therapeutic candidates, MK-4482 and MK-7110. This decision follows Merck’s review of findings from Phase 1 clinical studies for the v*****es. In these studies, both V590 and V591 were generally well tolerated, but the immune responses were inferior to those seen following natural infection and those reported for other SARS-CoV-2/C****-** v*****es. Merck continues to advance clinical programs and to scale-up manufacturing for two investigational medicines, MK-7110 and MK-4482 (molnupiravir); molnupiravir is being developed in collaboration with Ridgeback Bio.

“We are grateful to our collaborators who worked with us on these v*****e candidates and to the volunteers in the trials,” said Dr. Dean Y. Li, president, Merck Research Laboratories. “We are resolute in our commitment to contribute to the global effort to relieve the burden of this p******c on patients, health care systems and communities.” (Jan 25, 2021)

The Republican members of Congress had the opportunity to hold djt accountable for J** 6th, but they didn't. Subsequently, they had another opportunity to step up to do the responsible thing when it came to standing against the maniacal Marjorie Greene, and they did not.

So moving forward as a country, which is absolutely necessary, the Radical Right Wingers (and other Conservs) will already be screaming bloody foul that Joe and the Dems never meant it when we said we wanted to work together.

The ineffectual Repubs have become the architects of their own self-fulfilling demise.

These types will never forgive Obama for being President-While-Black. Of course tRump, who doesn't believe in anything, picked right up on that and immediately garnered the undying support of these mindless, thoughtless maniacs by trying to obliterate anything and everything Obama accomplished. Now Biden will put it right and obliterate the lying, c***ting, sociopathic narcissist Donnie baby...

Timothy McVeigh, Ted Kaczynski, David Koresh, the perpetrators of 9/11/01...

...And the list goes on and on !!!

When you're in the middle of this clan of discontents, a hopped-up, aggravated cult following totally distorted beliefs, you intuitively know it isn't the time or place for confrontation.

I can tell you that the encounter left us very shaken and quite disturbed.

It's actually nauseating to find yourself around a large group of people seething from the very core of their being with such unabashed hatred.

Being around a group meeting of those types made me feel as if I needed to go thru a nuclear decontamination "scrub down".

I can tell you, these people are THREE SUITS short of a full deck, yet they are "deadly" serious about their beliefs. Thru a friend of a friend, who got sucked in to the crazy Sovereign movement, I was invited to attend one of their Insider events in the mid-90s.

They only use the N-word to refer to black people. They speak in a derogatory fashion of the Jewish. Inexplicably, there are women in the movement, even though the core group of male leaders vocally assert that it's never been legal for women to v**e any more than it ever was for the "jungle bunnies", "towel heads" or "Latin invaders". The Confederate Battle F**g was present and you could tell, with them, that s***ery would be right around the corner.

My friend that I went with is Jewish (but they didn't ask names, and she doesn't "look like a Jew", wh**ever that means, something the guy repetitively spoke). They were obviously attentive to new people as potential recruits. As two lowly women, we were "assigned" to one of the elder guys who spoke eloquently (and stupidly, wrongly) about the original Constitution and how everything past a certain point is basically illegal, in their view.

Much low-key eye-rolling and head-shaking passed between my friend and me, when the group-leader wasn't looking, as he prattled on without noticing. We didn't need to ask many questions, as the indoctrinator was never lacking description. Despite insulting Jewish comments, somehow my friend maintained calm. Besides, we certainly felt as if we were in the home camp of a hostile group, and could easily have been attacked if we revealed ourselves as non-believers.

We were both speechless as we drove away. We stopped by a favorite Mexican restaurant to more or less silently decompress over margaritas for a couple of hours. It was an astonishing and appalling experience.

Afterword: the guy who sent us gave up on his temporary romance with Sovereign citizens. He decided to follow their lead and not register his car. He was stopped, decided to espouse his beliefs to the LAPD officers, wherein they had his car towed and impounded. None of the big mouthed leaders of the sovereign group, with which he had affiliated himself, were willing to step up and help him get his car back !!!

It has to play out, and we will all know pretty soon - - tRump is authorizing and inciting large groups who believe in gun toting. It is more than concerning. The Right Wing thinks the Lefties are imbeciles who don't know anything about politics or patriotism. The Lefties can see that the trumpet followers are radical and threatening. None of us wants to live in a dangerous society, and it's very sad that so many have allowed it to come to this.

I agree with you completely on the judges situation - - I took issue with people in 2016, who didn't like Hillary, but couldn't hold their noses and vote for her - - even before the election, I knew those people existed, and tried to post generally about the need for a Dem prez, no matter what, because of the lifetime federal judge appointments presidents do, and especially the SCOTUS. But some people wanted to "make a statement" and were too short sighted. Now we have three tRump appointments to the Supreme Court - - ARRGGGHHHH !!!
