Around 15 or so years ago, the Congress decided it would be a good idea to take the one quasi-business that's defined in the Constitution and mandate that they pre-fund their pension liability for current and past employees for 75 years into the future. (Because all private enterprises do this, obvi.) And in true Congress fashion, once the USPS got this reserve set aside, they instead decided to direct the funds towards paying down the national debt.Isnt the root of the post office's fiscal problems the giant pension liability that they are legally obligated to pay? I thought i read once that they are, for whatever reason, the only government entity that is legally required to have a fully funded pension.

My mom was diagnosed with SLE and discoid lupus in 1986, and for about 15 years she was on a daily dose of Plaquenil to supplement her Prednisone.apparently it's used by Lupus and arthritis patients. add to that some doctors (including dentists) who've been writing scripts to hoard for themselves and their families. this is what happens when people are desperate.I had to pick up meds today and they had a sign at the counter noting that they are limiting the amount of hydroxychloroquine that you can buy. Who is writing prescriptions of this for non-infected people?

Why does he feel the need to poke at the fire? It'd be nice if just once he did something to try to bring the American people together rather than reenforce this 'us vs them' mentality.

The first known case dating to mid-November has been public information - even just going off of 'official' reports from the Chinese gov't - for close to a month now. So who knows when the IC had the dope.Who knew about this in November?

The actual article mentioned that the DoD has an intelligence unit that studies computer and wire traffic for medical information, and they spotted the signs of some sort of contagion in China back in November.The first known case dating to mid-November has been public information - even just going off of 'official' reports from the Chinese gov't - for close to a month now.

@obhave This is what I was seeing in that Axelrod tweet.

Yeah, I do not agree with her at all. Biden obviously needs to work to appeal across all those. There are progressives that will vote for him, but it's not a given.
Politics And Current Events
I agree with her. Biden won't all of the sudden adapt all of Sanders positions so he;ll never satisfy some of Sander's supporters. There is far more to gain by appealing to the center.

I agree with Rubin as well. In 2016, disaffected Bernie Bros were more likely to have switched party and voted for Trump - what did they have to lose, after all - than they were to vote for HRC. That or they just stayed home on election day and didn't vote for anyone. The up-for-grabs electorate she cites in the tweet is both far larger and also far more 'gettable' imo.
Also, if someone were to........ how to put this delicately so as not to put 5AF on a bad list............... 'fix the glitch' in a direct action sort of way wrt Trump, I think that person or persons will come from the Bernie Bros camp.

If they want to say what are lies and what are not, that’s fine, but they shouldn’t using it as an opportunity to not show it and then push their own narrative. This goes for all news stations. It’s **** ing disgraceful.

Fox News is moronic in how they air everything is fine. CNN is basically CCP propaganda now.
