Another thing that really is starting to get well-beyond tired....

Calling out President Biden for stumbling over text and acting like that means he is "seriously ill"

Biden has always done that and is a stutterer....it is not funny anymore, stop being jerks
If you want to go after him on substance, great....but seriously, stop being terrible human beings
This would be like mocking FDR for not being an "appropriately Presidential dancer".....yes, Biden stumbles with words and sometimes says the wrong words....He is a life long stutterer and has always struggled at times...at other times, he repeats poems from memory
And yes, saying President instead of Vice-President, scrambling words, saying things out of order, are consistent with stuttering and has been consistent over his career....stop being terrible, be better

I read a story this morning where the author strongly implied that President Biden tripping on stairs, misstating that VP Harris was President, and forgetting one of the names of his cabinet members in the moment was evidence of dementia

No medical expert quoted...shameful
We have moved to an era where we are weaponizing common gaffes as mental illness and calling it news....

That is where we are now....
Every single one of us stumbles, we all trip over words sometimes (and Biden is a stutterer), and I couldn't tell you the names of half of the cabinet....and you couldn't either.

Just stop being absurd, report on actual news

I remember a place called the "transportation center" where we were kept in kennels (like for dogs but taller), still cuffed, and if you needed to urinate, you had to do it a pitcher in front of everyone and still cuffed...so many ways incarcerated people are treated like animals
And I am sure anyone who has ever been arrested remembers the casual barbarity of jail holding cells, where they pack tons of people in a small room, with one toilet at the end (and the toilet is rarely cleaned) in full few of everyone and where violence is normal
Or, how when you first get processed into prison you are stripped and inspected....or how you are strip searched entering and leaving the visitation room every time...

I did not care when Trump stumbled, I did not care when Biden tripped, I though Chase's take on Ford was cruel and unfair....and I am tired of all of this NONSENSE opinion journalism

TALK ABOUT ISSUES - do some work for God's sake, stop pandering
I also could give zero damns about if the Dr. Seuss estate takes some books off the shelf, if Disney+ doesn't let 7-year-olds watch whatever they want, or if Cardi B sings about sex at 10 pm on television
Side note, if you were really concerned about sex and violence on TV,, you would have been screaming about the fact that pretty much any movie or show can now be on television at any hour....and you would not be upset about the Disney+ thing (which gives parents more control)

Folks

Homicide and Domestic Violence rates are indeed up, and have been since the beginning of the pandemic

When you hear law enforcement sources saying it is b/c of bail...or other reforms, please ask them for their evidence

I follow this stuff pretty closely 1/
1. The increase in homicides has been nearly universal across most U.S. cities while court practices in each state were wildly disparate - which means attributing the cause to unique changes in one jurisdiction is almost always NONSENSE

theintercept.com/2021/02/21/202…
2. Crime and violent crime overall are DOWN not UP....Homicide and Domestic Violence in major cities is up...which is certainly problematic.....but we should actually know what we are fighting before we "crack down" based on law enforcement suspicions

Dear @WHCOS - please clarify, when you say "ALL adults"

Do you also mean everyone incarcerated in the Bureau of Prisons?

As of a week ago, less than 10% had been vaccinated in Federal Prison and the CDC said all people in prison should be prioritized?
Incarcerated people are 3X more likely to die from #Covid_19 and 7X more likely to contract the virus, they cannot self-isolate, socially distance, or look after their own health care....NONE were sentenced to die from COVID

Please clarify, will EVERY ADULT have access?
Here are the numbers from a week ago:

So just did a back of the envelope calculation - BOP says they update their vaccination stats daily and it seems like they have 12,223 out of 124,679 vaccinated bop.gov/coronavirus/

Please clarify @WHCOS

I sure hope every adult in the United States includes people incarcerated in our prisons @POTUS

Currently, the vast majority of folks in the BOP have not been vaccinated and many states have not prioritized incarcerated people at all

At least 2,474 people have died
That rate of death is around 3X the rate of death in the general population

People in prison can't socially distance, can't self-isolate, and can't look after their own health care

Nobody was sentenced to die from #COVID19 and we have the means to SAVE LIVES
About a week ago, I did a back of the envelope calculation for the Federal Bureau of Prisons @POTUS

It seems like they have only vaccinated 12,223 out of 124,679 incarcerated people in federal prisons bop.gov/coronavirus/
