it really can't be overstated that conservatives are all members of a death cult. they would see every non-rich person die horribly of easily preventable diseases just so there's a cheesecake factory within driving distance.Hieronymous Alloy posted:Fox News is brain poison and smart people are actually more likely to fall for it because it preys on unconscious biases. the documentary "the brainwashing of my dad" is eye opening (and i think it's on amazon prime). woman's dad goes from a sort of apolitical kennedy democrat to frothing psycho because he had a long drive to work and limbaugh was on the radio.

Captain Oblivious posted:I think you have the causal relationships a bit mixed up. They are focusing on her because she has good ideas and good communication skills, indirectly. More specifically, the fact that she has those things means she is reaching more people, which makes the right/centrist establishment feel threatened and focus a disproportionate amount of energy into trying to smother her in the cradle. She's a young female PoC who just entered politics. They are raised to think she's an easy target. They don't even know what her ideas are.

Stereotype posted:
I'm still catching up from a few pages back but this graph is great. I feel like I'm not hearing enough from the media about how the opioid crisis was caused by Purdue pharmaceuticals and the over-prescribing by US doctors. People don't just start using heroin because it's here. They get addicted to it because they broke their arm or [insert anything pain related]. This is nothing even remotely new. If you want a national emergency it should be to force doctors to stop prescribing Percocet and Vicodin when ibuprofen or acetaminophen has been proven to be just as good in some cases. For example: https://jamanetwork.com/journals/jama/article-abstract/2661581 "For patients presenting to the ED with acute extremity pain, there were no statistically significant or clinically important differences in pain reduction at 2 hours among single-dose treatment with ibuprofen and acetaminophen or with 3 different opioid and acetaminophen combination analgesics."

He was pissed but it cured his habit (he was never a Republican, just a Democrat who liked to watch because he enjoyed being pissed off or something). Problem is, now he has MSNBC on 24/7. While this is certainly preferable, I would like it if he just stopped watching cable news completely.

So recent reporting (not just this Rudy item from The Hill) has suggested that there might in fact be some sort of Mueller "report" rather than just letting the indictments speak for themselves. Is there any truth to this, or is it just wild speculation at this point fueled by Giuliani as a source?
