    I will feel a lot better when those most vulnerable, like your MIL and my grandmother, have the vaccine. Healthcare workers, Indigenous and remote communities, the elderly and those with compromised immune systems are all high priorities to me. Get them vaccinated and that will make my 2021! Bonus when gen-pop gets vaccinated too!

    I think this guy wants to be a candidate in 2024, I'm guessing he hasn't paid any attention to the Javanka show at the WH, in all probability doesn't care..............is it really grift if you do it in plain sight and people know you are doing it?

    The Moderna vaccine being the approved by health Canada will speed things up a bit especially in rural areas and the North, in the New Year hopefully we will see a few more vaccines hit the market leading to vaccinations being more readily available to the general public, in the meantime lets get the health professionals and front line works vaccinated as quick as possible and then get to work on the elderly and compromised.

    Republicans play for keeps by any means possible, Democrats are patsies, that needs to stop with the Biden administration with the help of winning the Senate in January, hearings that will happen in both the House and Senate need to have some bite, subpoena's need to be observed, none of this executive immunity and disregard bs, you don't show up throw them in jail.

    All the GOP has is empty threats and innuendo. It has worked well enough for Reagan and Bush junior as well as Trump, so what incentive do they have to change? Only if the DOJ actively pursues investigations and charges where appropriate will things change. If Biden wusses out, the Democrats will get what they deserve- yet another corrupt GOP reign. Only it will be worse, because they have seen that they can do whatever they want and suffer no consequences.

    Watched The Late Show tonight and Colbert had President and Dr. Biden on for an interview. I was struck by the plain decency of the man. Lots of mud has been slung by all sides and certainly this thread is no exception. But amid so many calls to make the current administration accountable for its corruption and take down all of Trump’s enablers for their action or inaction, I heard an incoming President tonight look past all of it. Call it naive, call it blissfully out of touch, call it hopelessly optimistic, but here was a man and his wife rising above, shrugging off the partisan attacks and personal shots against his son as being a nuisance but one that will not drag them down. Colbert himself said “you are a better man than I could be”. Maybe Biden sees no need to score political points against those who would keep the MAGA spirit alive, maybe he truly sees that there are more pressing needs in America and the world than revenge or comeuppance, but he sounds like someone who wants to just move forward, not focus on the past, and still believes in the best of all Americans - that the last 4 years is not really who Americans are. It could be seen as hokey, but it was uplifting to hear such calm patience. And then I heard him talk about Christmas at his house, and he talked about decorating the tree. Jill joked about how obsessive he was about hanging the tinsel, and he said without apology and full sincerity how vital it is that he hangs each strand individually, how you just cannot throw clumps at the tree. And it hit me - some think of him as the grandpa of the nation, but in that moment I saw my father. My father was a paediatrician for 45 years and the kindest person I have ever known. And he had the same obsession with tinsel, one strand at a time, and I know it was more than just his compulsive nature (a trait I am proud to share). It was about this perfection making things happier for all of us, to see a beautiful tree that brought joy in its pristine state, his labour was a labour of love. Hearing Biden talk about it with such reverence brought many memories and tears flooding back for a man I lost 3 years ago. I can only hope Biden is as good as his word and that all Americans truly give him a chance to fulfill his vision of decency and a better tomorrow. We all really need it, but it is on us to make it happen - together. Because if he can turn that optimism into reality, he will bring much joy, like I saw my father bring to my life. I guess I am getting sappy in my advancing age. Anyway, it was a nice moment in a very tough year. And by the way, Colbert’s band leader Jon Batiste, who is another amazingly positive soul and by all accounts a genuinely good person, did a beautifully soulful performance of “Have Yourself a Merry Little Christmas” to close the show, and you could not hear it and feel bad afterwards. A stirring rendition that just makes you feel better about the world.

    Not sure if it has been posted already, but apparently there are hundreds of thousands of doses of the vaccine in a warehouse in Washington that have been awaiting distribution orders since Tuesday. The Trump regime is doing...nothing about the American pandemic.

    it's more than I was expecting by that time, tbh. I didn't think we'd have enough for gen pop until maybe fall time. I'm honestly only really concerned about my mother in law, who has MS and requires round the clock care in a LTCH. She has basically no immune system and is super-high-risk. As long as she gets the vaccine ASAP, that's my only real concern...

    We're still under Code Red, with very few exceptions. The vaccine won't really come into play until later next summer, when the majority of Manitobans have it. I heard 50% of Manitobans will be vaccinated by the end of May. That's not a lot and certainly not enough to have open doors.

    A criminal prosecution will be different from congressional hearings and are a lot less partisan. Ignoring all the laws that have been broken is much more dangerous to the democracy in the US than allowing the legal proceedings go forward.

    Sweden made the mistake of assuming that this was just another influenza, contrary to WHO statements. Other European countries took the WHO advice at face value- Norway had only 10% of the fatalities per capita, for example, did much better. Economics should not be the determinant in assessing responses to a looming pandemic.

    Trump campaign attorney shares dangerous claim about SCOTUS Justice in bizarre Twitterstorm Lin Wood, a QAnon backing attorney for the Trump campaign, tweeted a firestorm of tall allegations attacking U.S. Supreme Court Chief Justice John Roberts for allegedly conspiring to have President Donald Trump voted out of office. On Thursday, Dec. 18, Wood took to Twitter with details about an alleged call that took place sometime in August. According to Wood, Roberts and Justice Stephen Breyer discussed ways to have Trump voted out, reports Law & Crime. "In discussing @realDonaldTrump in phone conversation in 8/19, Justice John Roberts stated that he would make sure 'the mother f#*ker would never be re-elected," the tweet said. "Roberts engaged in phone conversations with Justice Stephen Breyer discussing how to work to get Trump voted out." To make matters worse, Wood's allegations are no different than any of the Trump campaign's other post-election claims and conspiracy theories as he had no evidence or proof to back the tweet. However, he did attempt to do damage control by claiming that there is documentation "in the hands of several third parties" to support his claim even though he did not attempt to provide the information. "The documentation of my claims about Justices Roberts & Breyer has been placed in hands of several third parties," Wood claimed. "When one cannot attack message, all too often messenger is attacked," Wood said. "But TRUTH cannot be denied. It cannot be destroyed. I have made sure of that TRUTH." At one point during his rant, Wood even attempted to accuse Roberts of being involved in Jeffrey Epstein's entanglements although the chief justice has already addressed this allegation.

    This bus incident happened literally a block from my house (I can see the stretch of road from my bedroom window). The entire southbound side of Henderson was blocked off by WPS when I drove home from work just shortly after 9 and it's basically a crime scene. It sounds like a passenger attacked the driver, who then suffered a heart attack, the bus veered off the road and into a front yard, and the assailant has since fled the scene. Eight people were taken to hospital and one is in unstable condition. This **** is beyond unsettling.

    If only it was just nonsense. Back in the day it was criminal with consequences to pay to promote 'nonsense' of this nature and severity. For all the Trumpers and the ones that say they're not Trumpers but indeed are that frequent this site, you think you are being rationale and presenting the other side argument. You're not. You're really not, you may think you are but you're not. There is no other side when it comes to Trump and how he and his crew have enabled full on racism, sexual predation, religious zealots, white collar grifting huckster criminals, class warfare, misogyny, ageism, etc etc etc. 'What about' arguments, 'Yea but' arguments, 'The other side is just as bad but in different ways' argument to defend Trump and his hardened followers can at times be legitimate to varying degrees but is completely missing the point and isn't addressing the issue at hand. See sentence above. This is why we are seeing a lot of people from different backgrounds, different experiences and different political ideologies banding their arms together to defend sanity and attack this insanity. It's not a coincidence.

    Absolutely amazing (not really) that the GOP pretends to care about anything while allowing Trump and his kin to fleece the US for four years. 300,000 people have died, so far, and they show no interest in actually dealing with the problem. As usual, the left has to clean up the mess the the right makes. It's a Banana Republic.
