Once again, 2 GOP judges siding with the GOP for voter suppression by changing the rules FIVE days before election, when it is impossible to get the ballot in on time because of @USPS attack. Dem judge sided with voting. Read whole ruling: It's insane. minnesota.cbslocal.com/wp-content/upl…
...to get this done, the GOP in the guise of indepdendent judges had to overrule a consent decree agreed to by the state in a previous hearing, grant standing to two GOPrs who were not parties to the consent decree and thus had no standing, declare that the legislature...2
...assigning powers to the Secretary of State through statute did not constitute a statute passed by the legislature, that the SoS doing what the statute says violated...something..., and that this was so horrible they could ignore precedent of Purcell v. Gonzalez which.../3
...requires exceptional circumstances to interfere with the election rules shortly before the election. The GOP cloaked in the guise of judges have been ignoring Purcell repeatedly, each time declaring "exceptional" when they are in fact threading a needle to get this done.../4
...this is judicial fraud,. designed to rob the people of the right to vote. It is happening everywhere. If you don't vote, you will be facing increasing hurdles potentially forever. If you "protest vote" or vote 3d party because you want to prove some point, you will NEVER.../5
...get the policies you want because, no matter what you dream reality to be, only voting will change this. Everyone, vote. Minnesota - stop sending mail ballot (of which 80,000 are currently in the mail and not delivered because of lengthy delays.) Do NOT confuse the.../6
...banana republic autorcracy we are being shoved into as America. If you dont vote this time, millions will almost certainly never get the chance again. FUCK these bastards. They will lie & cheat endlessly to stop voting. Burn it all to the ground with your power of voting.

Called someone who manages reimbursement at giant health insurance company. Told him Trump said MDs get paid more for saying people died of COVID. THIS is a person who would approve those payments. Response: Laughter.

Then: "You DONT get paid by the cause of death. Ever.../1
...that is zero percent of the time. It's level of care that matters."

Moreover, for this massive company, "When we look at COVID on our reimbursement, it goes under viral pneumonia. If they were in the ICU, they probably got more. But thats also true for kidney failure"....
...now, he said, there is a higher proportion of higher payments for COVID than viral pneumonia, but not because it says "Covid." It's because the treatment course for COVID is far more intense for it. People with COVID who don't die quickly cost a lot if they get into ICU....

As a public service, I’ve tortured myself to read the screaming screed that led Greenwald to resign over editing and...wow. It was truly unpublishable. To start, in the article, here are the participants in the conspiracy that the pure Greenwald is fighting: the IMF, the EU../1
...the news media (except for him, Matt Taibi, one NYtimes article and 1 other), social media companies, Silicon Valley, yada yada. I can’t remember it all. Now, here is why it is unpublishable: it is factual crap. He dismisses historical fact by just screaming LIES even...2
...though a simple Nexis search would prove reality (he doesn’t cite any article in his screed but recent ones, which confirms to me that his reporting is, shall we say, shallow). He quotes an article that blends the founder of Burisma with Burisma itself. He NEVER explains...3

I said last June: The 3d quarter GDP numbers would explode and lots of non-economists would misunderstand what it means. Right on time, my prediction comes true.

Let me explain why today's numbers were not only predictable, but (almost) inevitable. Start with basic math.../1
...if you start with 100 & lose 50%, you have 50. Then, if you gain 50% off that number, you have 75. This is basic: When you fall, you begin at a higher number than when you start bouncing back. Rounding, we dropped 30% (annualized) and went up 30%. That doesnt bring you back..2
...to where you started. The fall was, in part, a function of policy failures. The recovery that wasnt full also, in part, was a function of policy failures. And it is for this exact reason that, with no change in policy, next quarter growth will be far, far less. To explain...4

This...scumbag...@BMorgenstern45 is the worst. I urge my 500,000 followers, bombard anyone who hires him with this info so they know he's no better than a nazi.

They rip kids away, cant find parents to return, & he lies "oh, parents don't want them"...

...how the FUCK do you live with yourself, @BMorgenstern45? To benefit your God King, you say for these kids to see in perpetuity that their parents didn't want them? Rather than just admit you incompetents fucked up again? How do you look at yourself...
linkedin.com/in/brian-morge…
...without puking in utter disgust at your inhuman, bilious existence? Is your hatred of brown people so severe, @BMorgenstern45, that you think it's ok for them to lose their children? For you to torture them and their kids? To rip apart families?...

I finally dug a little bit into the "Hunter Biden email" story because I could not figure out what the supposed scandal was. Let's assume the "smoking gun" email is real. The "scandal" is even more ridiculous than it seems, and depends on the endless stupidity of Trumpers....
...so, again, presume the Hunter "smoking gun" email is real. According to that, Hunter introduced Vadym Pozharskyi to Joe. I had *no* idea Pozharskyi was who the introduction was supposed to be with, and I literally laughed out loud when I saw it. Who is Pozharskyi? And is.../2
...the conservative media so stupid they don't even know???

Let's begin: They year before the email, Pozharskyi became the national coordinator for a United Nations Industrial Development Organization (UNIDO) project in Ukraine. This was a MAJOR economic development program.../3
