Thanks for stating that Trump was responsible for over one million Americans.
I have had COVID twice, the first time I had no vaccination and it just about killed me. The second time I had a wonderful drug, and it was nothing more than a bad three days.
I lost two friends to covid, and yes, they were my conservative friends who decided not to get vaccinated. Now I am fucking angry again.
People with health conditions do not need to be exposed to a deadly virus, wearing a mask can help most people at least give them one more barrier of protection.
So, nurses and doctors who wear masks do it because they are not as smart as your post.
My two conservative friends both had health issues, both did not get vaccinated when they could of, they both got sick, they both went into the hospital, and both died.
I believe in health organizations when it comes to my health, not the FUCKING FEDERALIST, what are you back to being insane.
When you have a heart attack, do you go the Federalist or a hospital. If it takes you longer than a second to answer this simple question, you are once again demonstrating insanity.
yes, as always, you state a broad generalization, but like a true republican, have no plan on how to achieve it. Except being negative towards the people that are actually trying to govern, with you morons blocking anything that resembles solutions.
conix, FACT FOCUS: No ‘incredible rise’ in transgender shooters
And, again, conix, please include the author and the date with articles posted. It's good to know who writes such fearmongering misinformative stuff as your article clearly is. Also a simple copy of that junk
does pick up the author and the date so i do wonder why they were not included in your paste.
I see now the author is a member of your disingenuous right.

Some pundits and political influencers on social media went further, suggesting that movements for trans rights are radicalizing activists into terrorists.
The data tells a different story, according to gender and criminology experts. Mass casualty shootings perpetrated by someone identifying as trans or nonbinary are rare, and in fact, those groups are far more likely to be the victims of violence. Here’s a closer look at the facts.
CLAIM: Four recent shootings show there has been an “incredible rise” in transgender or nonbinary mass shooters in the past few years, making the group “by far the largest group committing as a percentage of the population.”
Donald Trump Jr. spread the narrative widely on Twitter, claiming the supposed “incredible rise” and later saying there was a clear trend forming. The idea was amplified by hundreds of other social media users. Trump Jr. did not respond to a request for comment.
THE FACTS: While specific data on transgender and nonbinary mass shooters can be hard to isolate, available information shows that the overwhelming majority of assailants in mass shootings are cisgender males.
The number of mass shootings committed by those identifying as trans or nonbinary — and their ratio compared to mass shootings committed by other groups — is hard to quantify. It depends on the database used, how the act is defined and how gender identity is recorded — for example, transgender males may statistically be counted as just men. But experts agree that the most reputable information still shows a clear pattern that cisgender males are the most likely to commit such an act of mass violence.
Using the Gun Violence Archive .. https://www.gunviolencearchive.org/ , and a definition for mass shooting meaning “at least four gun injuries,” there have been 3,561 mass shootings since the beginning of 2016.
Laura Dugan, a professor of human security and sociology at Ohio State University, said the four widely cited examples out of the 3,561 shootings translates to 0.11% being perpetrated by someone who is not cisgender — a very low number relative to the number of mass shootings total.
“We cannot statistically make any claim of a trend,” she said.
Dugan also pointed out that there are some doubts about the nonbinary identity asserted by the Colorado Springs shooter.
James Alan Fox, a statistician and professor of criminology, law and public policy at Northeastern University, helps maintain the Associated Press-USA TODAY-Northeastern database of mass killings in the U.S. .. https://www.usatoday.com/in-depth/graphics/2022/08/18/mass-killings-database-us-events-since-2006/9705311002/ , which does not contain full data on perpetrators’ gender. The claims on social media this week amount to extreme cherry-picking of data, he said.
“There are a lot of mass shootings, hundreds of mass shootings, and to cherry-pick four of them and say here’s a trend, that’s wrong,” Fox said. “You can’t make a conclusion that that’s significant. It is not significant in any statistical sense.”
Olivera Jokic, the director of the gender studies program at the John Jay College of Criminal Justice, referred to a National Institutes of Justice .. https://nij.ojp.gov/topics/articles/public-mass-shootings-database-amasses-details-half-century-us-mass-shootings#mass-shooting-demographics .. database that tracked U.S. mass shootings — defined as a shooting that kills four or more people — from 1966 to 2019. The research found that of the 172 people who committed public mass shootings covered in the database, 97.7% were male. The data makes no distinction between transgender and cisgender perpetrators.
“The political rhetoric using ‘statistical information’ about gender identification of mass shooters is wrong,” she said, “and seems to serve to distract from existing discussions about mass shootings as a public health problem.”
Against that backdrop, studies also show trans people are more than four times more likely than cisgender people to be victims of violent crime, according to a report by the Williams Institute, an LGBTQ think tank at the University of California, Los Angeles.
“This is capitalizing on tragedy for political purposes,” Fox said. “One should not conclude that being trans or nonbinary, they should be more likely to commit a crime like this.” ___

conix, That is just one example of the misinformation in Evita Duffy-Alfonso's article. As to the fearmongering, well this
"Charles stated that Covid “offers an unprecedented opportunity to rethink and reset the ways in which we live and do business.” The WEF’s “revolutionary reset” calls on world leaders to implement the forum’s socialist master plan for transitioning economies from relying on coal, oil, and natural gas to insufficient supplies of wind and solar power. P - Essentially, government leaders exploited the fear surrounding Covid, using it to implement disastrous economic policies that kill the middle class and will eventually create a form of neo-feudalism that only benefits mega, global corporations and the state. P - Thanks to the inaction of millions of Americans, the response to Covid irreversibly damaged our country. Yes, people lost their livelihoods, and it stunted the education of an entire generation of children, with hundreds of thousands to this day still reportedly missing from school systems across the country. However, it also set an alarming precedent that in America we willingly give up essential liberty anytime federal bureaucrats claim we are facing a public “emergency.”"
is a combination of disinformation and fearmongering.
The stretch from governments taking action in a public health crisis to save human lives to government staking action to either spreading ideas or stopping the spread of ideas is an invalid stretch you rabid right-wingers continually make. It was a health emergency. For the latter just look at your Florida under your DeSantis. There you unarguably have authoritarian action designed to stop the spread of ideas.
As for your personal "Talking past the issue...We are not arguing on whether or not we need ANY immigrants. I am pro LEGAL immigration--knowing who is coming in the country, health status, sponsor status etc." hogwash.
Sure we are al pro legal immigration, just as we are all pro no road accidents. And no mass shootings.
