No. One particular flavor of politician wants you to believe science is just "opinions". You're simply highlighting that those people are liars. That has nothing to do with the scientific method.

Yeah, I hate to agree with throwing DHS at something, but this is exactly the kind of thing they should be doing.

That's the thing... science is a method. If you have actual evidence, and reproducible results, then they speak for themselves. The problem is the wholesale, willful ignorance of this method.

I'm going to guess they are talking about different leadership from the one which started the Iraq war.

I still lean towards something along the lines of The Miller-Urey experiment[0]. There are many very interesting theories[1].

But who is to say it isn't a combination of both? The question would be, from whence did the life on comets/extra-terrestrial bodies originate?

It's funny that your lies about the left are lies themselves. Actually, it's not funny and it's how trump whipped up thousands of people to attempt a coup last week.

Come on. Anyone who supported the insurrection on Jan 6th should be expelled from Congress and prosecuted to the fullest extent of the law for supporting a rebellion against the US. The fact you make me spell that out that to dance around the issue is disturbing.

This is pretty straight forward. If you:

Support violence against other groups because they look different

Seek to restrict someone's rights/voting because of the above

Then you should not be tolerated in our society and you should be punished.

Indeed, and time should not be wasted on those who argue in bad faith.

Tolerating the intolerant gives the intolerant the foothold they need to get enough legitimacy to seize power and destroy the society which was tolerant of them.

Everyone, please stop engaging this person who is arguing in bad faith, and only seeks to waste your time.

Each state makes 6-9 copies of the certifications that get sent to Congress. And each house of Congress gets their own stamped/sealed and certified "originals". So I would say there was next to zero chance of the ballots being destroyed having any lasting impact, other than the sheer horror of it occurring, of course.

The article seems bogus. The state is in the process of getting masks out to people:

""" As of Dec. 7, the state's PPE stockpile included:

    178.7 million N95 respirators
    339 million surgical masks
    63.8 million procedure gowns
    19.5 million face shields
    152.2 million sets of protective gloves

https://www.desertsun.com/story/money/business/2020/12/09/fr... """

That ain't half a billion N95 masks.

What are you talking about? This isn't trolling. The president is a negligent menace, who, had he had any interest or capability to lead, would have done his job and enabled earlier prevention measures...

Do you consider Visa west coast tech money? They started in Fresno, but by BoA which is old school. Plaid then would also be west coast tech money...
