CR: COVID-19 --Political Talk
It's what the cbs article said. Data they are using is probably incorrect given breakthrough cases are going to be so mild from a symptom perspective people aren't getting tested.

CR: COVID-19 --Political Talk
That data, of course, does not exist. If you're looking for 100% safety before you step outside again I don't know what to tell you. Obviously you've had a personal experience that has shaped your risk tolerance and I'm sorry your friend is dealing with such a shitshow. But if you're vaxxed, go on with your life and bask in the glow of American exceptionalism and science. 99.7% of all new cases are amongst the unvaccinated. The market vomited all over itself because of the fear of lockdowns due to the unvaxxed. I've got a lot of scorn for those folks, although I do not wish them harm. https://www.cbsnews.com/news/new-covid-19-cases-united-states-almost-all-among-people-unvaccinated/

Formerly DT: COVID-19 - Featuring Lots of Politics, now CR because political talk not going away
Not a NYT subscriber so can't read the article but I'm pretty sure all the Yanks were J&J. I also thin testing protocols are contributing to these positive tests. Wager these pitchers had zero symptoms but were tested as part of MLB rules. Is there any data about vaccinated individuals spreading the disease?

Wearing a mask after you've been vaccinated is performative theater and decidedly anti-science #itsscience

The Robert Mueller Investigation
Why does that make me a Trumpkin, in your mind? I actually want to understand how you think. Did you know that the Russian lawyer you mentioned, Veselnitskaya was working with Fusion GPS? Did you know she’d had dinner with Glenn Simpson, both the day before and the day after the meeting? Does that give you any second thoughts at all?

When did the shift from calling the variants uk/South Africa/Brazil/Indian to alpha/delta happen? Feels recent.

Joe Biden 2021
With Joe’s clarification today I guess any previous analysis can be discarded and chalked up to uncle joe being old af and saying dumb shit.

Joe Biden 2021
I don't disagree. The Rs who negotiated it are acting surprised that passing the bipartisan infrastructure bill would be tied to passing a reconciliation bill with all the other stuff are either stupid, naïve, or purposefully wasted time to try and eat up the clock. Personally, I don't think they expected the bills to be tied together. Now they can get hung with either being bad faith negotiators, stupid, or if they do pass the reconciliation bill, politically tied to passing a reconciliation bill full of D priorities and spending. Really really bad politics by the R negotiating team.

Joe Biden 2021
It could also be viewed more as a bit of a bait and switch, depending on your perspective. But, the more I think about it, it really gives Manchin and Sienma cover to approve a big reconciliation bill that, as far as I can tell, they weren't jumping to do, while blaming it on the GOP. "We tried but the GOP didn't want to approve an infrastructure bill so we had to push this one through".

Joe Biden 2021
Just so I'm clear here, D and R senators got in front of a microphone together yesterday and said we have a deal on infrastructure with Biden saying "they gave me their word and that's good enough for me". Then after that press conference Pelosi and Biden both say versions of 'the bipartisan bill that was agreed to won't get passed unless it is done in tandem with a reconciliation bill' even though that was apparently not discussed during negotiations. What was the point of any negotiation if that was going to be the ultimate position? Why even ask for a single drop of R support if you were going to do a reconciliation bill regardless? I assume the point of the charade was to put pressure on Manachin and KS but who knows.

The Sheldon Whitehouse Beach Club Controversy
"But Trump" doesn't really work here. https://www.washingtonpost.com/lifestyle/style/palm-beach-used-to-be-a-nice-town-for-billionaires-then-trump-came-along/2019/01/08/a14b1708-1049-11e9-84fc-d58c33d6c8c7_story.html "So Trump opened Mar-a-Lago as a private club in 1995. Unlike the Everglades or Bath and Tennis clubs, which did not admit Jewish members, and the Palm Beach Country Club, which admitted wealthy Jews, Mar-a-Lago was open to anyone. “Basically, he didn’t care who came in as long as they could pay for it,” explains a Palm Beach social expert. Money may have been the motive, but Trump’s open-door policy — his was the first club to accept African Americans and openly gay couples — began the slow process to diversify other clubs in town." To the question at hand, it's a private club and they can do what they want. Given he's a Dem he'll get away with it (and apparently the two other all white clubs he's a member of). If he was a Rep he'd be getting slaughtered.

Abbott Gonna Build a Texas Wall. No Details on Cost or Location
Has anyone suggested to Gov Abbott that he could pay for the wall by legalizing weed? Hampers his competitors from the south, pays for the wall, and has happy citizens all at once? No?

Racism and the Greek System (South & Texas)
I'm actually pretty shocked the greek system is still around and operating at UT. I read somewhere that bulk of the athletic donations to UT come from ex greeks so maybe not a total shock. But as it relates to the question, the bigger houses at UT have feeder highschools. Some guys can get in that come from non established pipeline high schools but almost always the pledge classes will be dominated by those same schools. Those schools that feed are not the most diverse places (or at least don't have many black students attending UT) and the membership reflects that. It's really as simple as that. And the one I was in had every group imaginable....except black dudes.

2021 Texas Offseason: Sark Attacks Austin
- COVID-19 2nd wave - Texas only - Stats and such
yes, I've got family in Hockley county and they get their news from facebook and they literally said out loud that "fauci and gates released the virus to make money off the vaccine". Just breathtakingly stupid. And these are good people. Had one uncle tell me that given his age and health his doc told him he was not at risk. Disregard the fact that he's 5'10" and 230, I explained that it wasn't him I was worried about but our other, older, fatter relatives.- Abolish the filibuster!
