I realize some of you may have a hard-on for this person, so I'll remain open minded. After all, he's one of us and he seems like a reallyreallyreally nice guy. 😭 You could definitely leave him alone with your wife. My gut reaction when reading this tweet was "this dude is losing his shit", but that could be entirely mistaken. As I work through the possible explanations, It could be that he might be using a better dictionary that no one else has access to. Maybe he's a time traveller. I don't know, but I'll give him the benefit of the doubt. Submitted for your consideration: None of you are patriots. ("probably") 😆 https://twitter.com/AdamKinzinger/status/1423649869470777346?s=20

That's a great mom joke! LOL. I love mom jokes.

No, you weren’t wondering that. But, you were using the word “principle” in the wrong context. Cheers. I’ve defended Congressman as much as I’ve critiqued him. But this... Can you imagine an aircraft commander crying in the midst of performing their primary duties? During a briefing? WTF. You can’t make rational decisions when you can’t contain your emotions.

Ah, shit. LOL. My fault. I got you and DosXX confused. You have the same positions. DosXX, my apologies. Negatory, I meant to insult you with that post. 😆 And I agree. These issues are somewhat important to me, but not enough to make permanent online enemies. I don’t want to go any further down that path. We’re only disagreeing on one or two issues. We’re not solving anything here. I’m going to try and keep that in perspective.

Mick Schumacher in at HAAS. Hope they can give him an awesome car. Magnussen leaving F1 for IMSA. https://www.formula1.com/en/latest/article.breaking-mick-schumacher-to-race-for-haas-in-2021-as-famous-surname-returns.66XTVfSt80GrZe91lvWVwJ.html

I hate to follow up my own post, but I had to stop this halfway through just to share it here. This is amazing. This vid has officially become my position. LOL

Not only do you create fake statistics, you create fake awards too! Well done. Way to be consistent!

You want a math problem? 😆 What is 300,000 COVID deaths minus 200,000 COVID deaths? Think you can wrap your head around that one, Capt Calculator?

How are you making these assumptions about what the risks are? The effectiveness? The only pieces of information you could possibly use to derive that conclusion are pharmaceutical company press releases. Remember this?

Great. I think your number is perfectly acceptable. Even though we've demonstrated we can wipe out flu deaths, you're willing to return that number to the historical norm to live a normal life. Me? I don't have a line. If I were to select an arbitrary number of deaths as being acceptable, you could easily argue "why not 1 less?" or "why not 1 more?". Which is what I'm doing with Prozac. I know it's an unwinnable debate. I just want to see if he'll throw a number out there. Sorry, Prozac. What I would say is there is a minimum level of freedom I will accept. I'm more than happy to make extraordinary efforts of my own accord to keep the people around me safe. I am not willing to give anyone else the authority to mandate it.

Ok, I misunderstood the extent of preventative measures you are in favor of. No lockdowns, but no schools, restaurants, or concerts, either. Fair? Apologies if I am again misunderstanding, but I think you're saying even after a vaccine arrives, you still believe there should still be severe restrictions. If we continue to have severe restrictions after the vaccine, is it really reasonable to say the economy will get back on its feet?

You sorta didn't answer the question. I don't want to put words in your mouth, but 200,000 is about where you draw the line. Less=unfortunate, but life goes on. More=Lock it down. Good news. You're correct. 65,000 doesn't have to be as high. The COVID response effectively eliminated flu deaths. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2019–2020_United_States_flu_season So now let's say you get the vaccine and COVID is a non-issue. Are you cool going back to business as usual and accepting tens of thousands of flu deaths as a cost of living? If not, which precautionary measures would you make permanent?

Did you happen to look up the results for the states you listed? It seems like you're suggesting 10% is a "tight" race.

Did you take these same precautionary measures 1 year ago? If not, what was your personal magic number threshold? 65,000? https://www.cdc.gov/flu/about/burden/preliminary-in-season-estimates.htm

Weird. I haven't been to a concert, but I've literally done all of those other things multiple times. I suppose the virus hasn't decided to lock the doors and turn off the lights where I live.

Ok. See ya.

Wanna take a wild guess as to why I might suspect that it’s possible you’re full of shit? 😂

Perfectly reasonable thing to say. I, too, would have targeted close Senate races. These close races typically occur in swing states. So, if we were to attempt to manipulate a close senate race in a swing state, which of the below Senate races would you have targeted? Georgia?

False. First, everyone here believes election fraud exists. Is that fair to say? If everyone believes election fraud exists, why does it seem to be such an emotional shock to you and others when people demonstrate the specific individual ways in which it is possible for it to be committed? Bear in mind there have been countless news reports, investigations, and demonstrations in the past 15-20 years regarding vulnerabilities of electronic voting systems. I've already posted a few and can give you several more straight away where people smarter than either of us prove, on camera, that voting machines can be easily manipulated to achieve a desired outcome. I've said repeatedly, I too believe voter fraud exists, but I simply do not know the probability of it existing to an extent to change the election. I do believe that it is possible, you believe that it's not. I don't think you're being reasonable if you swat down every example while effectively shouting "IMPOSSIBLE!". I'm not trying to make a legal ruling here. I'm not a judge. None of us are, for that matter. I'm not trying to troll you here. I'm not trying to upset you. But your emotionally charged responses are something you should account for, because it appears to cloud your reason. You seem to believe you're a smart guy and can think for yourself. I'd say you probably are. If you don't want to believe any of these people's claims, I'm fine with that. Move along. Perhaps you're worried that these things may influence someone that isn't as smart as you. I don't know what to tell ya. It seems to me your political biases are preventing you from making objective conclusions about a more important issue. That issue being one of the most important aspects of our democratic process, election, has vulnerabilities. I don't think I can answer this without insulting you. I don't want to do that, so I'm just going to leave it alone and give you that point. It seems to me you spent an inordinate amount of time diminishing his career instead of addressing his specific allegations.

Exactly. If nothing else, it's a math problem. And the math doesn't add up. Perhaps there is an explanation that doesn't involve fraud. I have yet to hear it.
