[Buddahaid]

You keep quoting yourself. Suspect behavior and simply bad form needing moderator interaction. I don't care what your political leaning is and I don't need to apologize.

Generally a person make 1 post, maybe 2, then pauses until others have posted. Making 8~10 posts in a row is considered topic spamming.

In response to a question from The Washington Post about how she knew the president paid someone to take the SATs, Mary Trump revealed that she had surreptitiously taped 15 hours of face-to-face conversations with Barryin 2018 and 2019.She provided The Post with previously unreleased transcripts and audio excerpts, which include exchanges that are not in her book.

Barry has never spoken publicly about disagreements with the president, and her extraordinarily candid comments in the recordings mark the most critical comments known to have been made about him by one of his siblings. No one else in the family except Mary Trump has publicly rebuked the president.
(...)
“His goddamned tweet and lying, oh my God,” she said. “I’m talking too freely, but you know. The change of stories. The lack of preparation. The lying. Holy ****.”
(...)

“It’s the phoniness of it all. It’s the phoniness and this cruelty. Donald is cruel.”

Chris Bastardi, a spokesman for Mary Trump, said that she began taping conversations in 2018 with Barry after concluding that her relatives had lied about the value of the family estate two decades earlier during a legal battle over her inheritance, in which she received far less than she expected.

Under New York law, it is legal to tape a conversation with the consent of one party, which in this case was Mary Trump.

The problem with vaccines not properly tested is two-fold. First, they can, in case of Sars-Cov-2, cause the feared cytokine storm if it is not verified that the risk for this is reasonanbly low. This effect is n ot unknown with vaccines, a paradoxical reaction that actually does not fight against the desease it should help battling against but makes the desease battering the patient even stronger. Reducing this risk is a very serious and major concern in vaccine development. You cannot evaluate this risk by political command, it is a purely medical-scientific issue where politics and adminstration play zero role. Second, if the vaccine is not powerful enough, it actually raises virus resistence, making it even harder to fight against and fight back and defeat the pandemic, its much like using too many antibiotics against bacteria and this way increasing their resistency to them. So, this risk of the vaccine hardening the virus if not being potent enough, is a very serious and reasonable one with Covid 19, too.

More lies. More irresponsible risks. More endagering of citizens. More psychopathic malice. More conspiration theory. More rabble rousing. In brief: more Trump.

And the worst, if evertyhing goes bad, then the American virus created by Trumps attempt in mastering medical basics will escape into the world - and then other places, countries people will get hit by Trump'S madness as well.

In this case it can hamper better, effective vaccines by others and rendering them ineffective, too. Which in Trump's thinking is only "fair".

Has anyone cared to read his tweets on deep state preventing vaccine developoment? Calling his lunacy bizarr, does not really cut it. Its on QAnon niveau, and reveals psychiatrically relevant, dangerous levels of paranoia.

Well, he is still not the supreme leader so he still doesn't get his way and better "science" will prevail.

The head of a major US evangelical college has quit his job amid allegations about his private life.

The Washington Post, the Associated Press and other US media reported his resignation on Monday, citing officials from the institution.

The influential evangelical initially denied he had left the role.

But after Liberty University announced Falwell Jr had resigned and then reversed his decision, he finally confirmed he had quit his job.

fter posting a photo of himself with trousers unzipped on Instagram.

Further scandals have since emerged, including from someone who claimed to have had a sexual relationship involving Mr Falwell Jr and his wife.

It seems that he has tried to go "backwards....

Somebody is preparing his fight for the time after the election.

Terrible people, rying so hard to bring out the worst in other people.

Instead of 'flying over' how about actually reading some of what was said.

I would hope that too. But these times nothing is sure anymore . Trump wants to win no matters what it cost and will generate direct or indirect pressure wherever he can.

Of crs this is the ultimate dream of him: A few weeks before the election presenting himself as the hero of the pandemic by presenting a vaccine - of crs only available since he supervised the creation of that by producing "heat". Science - what is this, we are living in the middle-age, aren't we ?

I guess he has cursed not only once in his office that he cannot order an untested vaccine to be released to the public - as Putin can do. Of crs this is one reason why he admires in part the North Korean clown, Putin and other despots...the ultimate power which they have with no annoying press watching them(of crs apart from their house-TV station).
