@narrative_dc@darlenem68@atrupar Absolute pardon power isn't a shield. If a pardon is traded for a thing of value, the act itself becomes impeachable bribery.
Trading facts for tribal loyalty and excusing lawbreaking through unrelated whataboutisms erodes the shared reality required for a just society
Neil deGrasse Tyson: “Whatever [the next outbreak] is, we ain’t ready for it. We still have anti-vaxxers running around.”
“I don’t trust scientists. I saw a YouTube video, so I’m not going to take it.” (mocking)
“I don’t want you to ever forget this story.”
“20,000 years ago, we’re in the cave. Do you know what the life expectancy was?”
Shannon Sharpe: “10 years? 15 years?”
Neil deGrasse Tyson: “30. Half of everyone born was dead before they were 30.”
Shannon Sharpe: “Wow!!!”
Neil deGrasse Tyson: “Fast forward to 1840… everyone born in the world was dead by the age of 35. We gained five years of life expectancy. And every one of them ate organic, breathed clean air… Science matters here.”
“We’ve doubled the life expectancy with antibiotics, vaccines, and sanitation. The three biggest forces operating on our longevity. So to come around and say I don’t need vaccines because I’m not getting sick, that’s like saying, why are you using dandruff shampoo? You don’t have dandruff.”
Shannon Sharpe: “Well, I don’t want to get it.”
Neil deGrasse Tyson: “That’s my point. If you’re successful, people think you don’t need it when that’s what’s creating the ongoing success in the first place.”
@ThemisVeritasHQ@MarcoFoster_@barnes_law@ShawnRyan762@ShawnRyanShow Pentagon audit failures are an accounting mess, not personal enrichment from a foreign state.
Presidents get more attention as the face of the nation, any elected official using public power for private =violation.
2 wrongs don’t make a right, your whataboutisms are deflections
@ThemisVeritasHQ@MarcoFoster_@barnes_law@ShawnRyan762@ShawnRyanShow Taxpayer fund military upgrades(400M+) on foreign asset w prearranged transfer deal to foundation that keeps it operational for personal use🙄The “loophole” violates the Emoluments Clause to privatize a foreign asset. Even Reagan’s museum AF1 was decommissioned after 7 presidents
@mrcokamo@ViralNewsNYC NYC’s 1930s power grid=Aging wires constantly short-circuit, creating explosive gases underground. Unlocked manholes are safety valves to vent that pressure. A lock turns heavy lid into a street bomb and blocks emergency crews from fighting fires. Also >$1.5B to replace all 400k
@Atheos1011@KSHB41 Read the article and the linked series from the reporter Olivia covering this story. This is all public 🙄
It’s illegal to cancel special ed services - federal laws-the money comes from other areas of the budget.
What is the state doing with the $$ is the better question
@SarahIronside6 Especially since I can’t control my exposure or try to prevent or lessen the effects when I don’t know the Who/What/When/Where/How it’s being used.
@RocketEnby@300MphEF5 I’m on the SE edge of Louisburg close to state line and it’s been nothing but light wind and dry with a great light show in the sky.
Basically—I’m shocked there was a tornado touchdown nearby at any time today without any sirens or alerts🤷🏽♀️
This is insane. Major Health Insurance Companies admit:
- They own the health insurance companies
- They own our doctors & clinics
- They own our pharmacies
- They own the PBMs who set pharmacy prices
- Their obligation is increasing shareholder value
They admit ALL of this
“We've established on the record that the largest health insurance companies are not just insurers. They are also medical providers and pharmacies diagnosing and deciding treatment for patients. They are also PBMs, another form of middlemen managing drug benefits. They are increasingly controlling every aspect of our healthcare system.”
@RockafellowDave@jakescottMD An unintended consequence of vaccine mandates is that the health risks/diseases seem invisible or improbable due to the past success of mandates.
The success of controlling transmission fools those who benefited from herd immunity to believing future risk is an abstract concept
@RockafellowDave@jakescottMD That could be said about anything.
The problem is that this type of individual risk imposes their “freedom of choice” on the public with measurable, physical consequences.
