Yet another revered physician brought low by trantifa. The fear of being hounded for life by a massive militia of mentally unstable ppl causes experts to self-censor their own completed research. Ppl fear for their lives & families.

A demoralizing read for anyone that believes in western medicine.

Haha. I know many Mexicans, I dated a Mexican for 8 years, I work with many Mexicans. These people are possibly the least violent, most inherently trustworthy people on planet earth. Are there bad apples, of course. But overall, these are the people we want & desperately need in our country.

Point to specific points in the article which are not true?

Your whole social movement is on drugs.

I just mean that the trantifa virus comes into the child's body through social media, & then, once the illness has run its course, they/them hops on social media & starts spreading the virus to more children

He is a slick f*cker isn't he.

This is the peak of him being able to get over... The second he wins the election the Laura Loomers, JD Vance, et al are going to be hounding him nonstop for years. It's going to be hell for him. They want him to win, that's why they're quiet on him right now.

It was a survey. Trust me when I say that you can get at least 20% of people to say almost anything you want in a poll. I bet I could do even better than that if I came up with clever wording of the question.

Mamdani is a boat anchor we are tying to our own legs. What a joke. We can't even take softball questions from the left before proclaiming his victimhood.

One political challenge for Republicans right now is that there is no constituency that directly benefits from allowing the ACA enhanced tax credits to expire. Yet, there are 22 million people who will see their out-of-pocket premiums go up.

The concept of a human gender was invented out of the grammar wordplay of a single disturbed academic in the 1950s. It then took him decades of proselytizing for academia to buy into it more generally, & then academics spread it across the rest of society.

It'll always be a game of words for them.

Letterman is as big of a lefty as any of them, too. But he never alienated most of his audience, as is the norm today.

Mr. Herbert Garrison @dropthet.bsky.social · 10h

Yeah. If there was a Letterman still around I'd watch more. I used to watch Colbert, who's a talented comedian. If he brought back the Colbert Report, ppl would watch that.

I think part of it is that we now know everything about celebrities at all times. We don't need talk shows to learn about them

I agree. The only comedians that succeed talking about politics are the ones that make fun of all sides. And even then it's hard.

Jon Stewart was successful for years because Democrats were the butt of the joke sometimes. Maher always makes fun of both sides. Etc

Mr. Herbert Garrison @dropthet.bsky.social · 12h

Understood, not saying they didn't exist because I'm sure they do, but it isn't widespread at all. There are almost an infinite number of more important problems for the federal government than saving a few cats every few years.

Jimmy Kimmel's most hardcore fans on Bluesky don't watch the show. Let's be honest. People spent more time typing how much they love Jimmy Kimmel Live than they have ever spent actually watching Jimmy Kimmel Live

I have never heard of human research being done using dogs or cats as a representative species. I'm sure it exists somewhere, but I would guess that 99% of biological research done using cats or dogs, are literally researching cats or dogs. Not humans.

Humans have been GMOing for 10s of 1,000s of years. The dog is a perfect example of our GMOing! The entire genome of the dog has been dramatically altered (to the detriment of the dog!) to give them a slew of human-preferred traits.

& yeah I don't get how nuclear isn't a strong position of the left

And I'm sure we will learn that BMJ is Fake News, transphobic, & funded by AIPAC.

Mr. Herbert Garrison @dropthet.bsky.social · 21h

The far left only flipped their position on vaccines when the far right decided they suddenly hated vaccines. Anti-vax was a common position of the far left.

They both see evidence-based medicine as a political battleground in which they can pick & choose what to "believe in", discarding the rest.

A glimmer of hope in that the research may yet be published in the BMJ, which is one of if not the most prestigious medical journal in the 🌍. This is all due to 1 brave researcher willing to endure the death threats & permanent threat to their career & family. There are still heroes out there.

Except that the far left continually votes for the right more often than classical liberals. 12% of Bernie voters for example voted for Trump.

It's not surprising that this happens, & I'm not saying these people are irredeemable.

Jews are considered oppressors on our oppression totem. They might even be greater oppressors than gay men, & white women. It's certainly not to his benefit

Incidentally, I get some joy from opening these Pritzker fan's profiles & searching for posts containing the word "billionaire". Because you'll find that they have a unique stance on that issue only when it comes to JB Pritzker. They're ok that *he'll* do nothing about it, but otherwise not.
