This is pretty important news that I haven't seen elsewhere. The most recent WH visitor logs as of 1 April 2024 show that Dr. Kevin R. Cannard, a neurologist and movement disorders specialist at Walter Reed National Military Medical Center who researches treatments for “early phase Parkinson’s disease” has visited the White House nine times from 28 July 2023 to 1 April 2024. Nine times! That's once a month! Why is a neurologist with specialized research in treatments for early stage Parkinson's Disease visiting the White House doctor so often? This should be all over the news! Let's see when it gets coverage in mainstream media.

the most perfect outcome of the debate debacle is that after two weeks it is forgotten and the polls go back to where they were before the debate.
It may have already started. The 538 model is already falling back toward Biden after moving in trump's direction after the debate. It's back to even already.
Nothing in the news matters. No one changes their mind, not really. It's all about turnout. Which party can get more people out to the polls on the day. Or send in early ballots. That party will win.
I told you so.

Or get the most unverified ballots counted in the dead of the night in precincts thousands of miles apart from each other.
Makes me think of the Chinese spy balloon that Biden and his supporters gladly allowed to fly for a week over our homeland.

This is a really interesting hot take. It contains many factual errors, and I just wanted to point them out...
The mRNA vaccine was started under the Trump administration. It was dubbed "Operation Warp Speed.: Citation:
You say "Republicans" killed thousands of people, but you ignore something important: people have a right to decide whether or not to take the vaccine. And the vaccine, particularly it's effectiveness, is matter of hotly contested debate. Your argument skips over the personal choice element and assumes that the vaccine is life-saving in all cases...where you freely admit that Covid itself isn't fatal absent of comorbidity (obesity and the myriad complications that come with it being the most frequent example).
What else. Oh...the vaccine was actually treated as a political matter, which was a huge mistake, as viruses do not care who you vote for. Let's foreshore this: here is now VP Kamala Harris (perhaps your next last, best hope...so may God help you) telling all of America that she won't take the vaccine "if Donald Trump tells us to take it:"
Now, back to you...where are you getting the "R's died at a higher rate" claim from. And, more directly, why isn't that *good* news for you, as you have expressed disdain and even contempt for Republicans so many times I've lost count.
People who are not you not doing what you want them to do? You know this is America, right?
so much gobbledygook.
yes, Rs made vaccines into a political issue. They said it was bad and should not be taken. Don't sugar coat it. Not all Rs but enough to kill tens of thousands of Americans. They said all kinds of nonsense about the vaccines. Not based on science. And of course russia, china and the GOP had the same message: don't take the dangerous vaccine. So often together on message , russia china and the GOP. Think about that.
sure, freedom. Yeah ok. Whatever. Free dumb. We have lots of dead Americans who didn't have to die. Kids without parents, etc. Why do you think vaccines are mandatory in schools and the military? To save lives and protect the herd. It's called civilization. We all have to give up some freedom to make a civilization. That's the basis of laws.
harris said if scientists said the vaccine was safe she would take it. If only trump said it was safe she would not. This is a very smart policy.
As for Rs dying out of proportion, use google. Here's a start.
Gobbledygook? Is that the best you can do? I’m used to you dismissing claims that have been fact checked a documented with blanket claims of “talking points” or even “disinformation.” But gobbledygook hits a new low of low-effort. Should I call your response “gookelygob” and leave it like that
Republicans made the vaccine a political issue? Cite your source, not your bias, and you might have an argument. Did the Trump administration work closely with social media outlets to make sure that anti-vax claims were promptly removed so that people wouldn’t see them, in clear violation of the First Amendment? Such that the case, Missouri v McCarthy was heard by the Supreme Court? No…that was the Biden administration.
You conveniently ignored my clip of our Vice President saying she wouldn’t take what she referred to as the “Trump vaccine” before it was released. I get that it seriously undermines your argument about Dems always being pro-vaccine and right about their policy. But if you think it’s a talking point or “gobbledygook” then you are dodging the question. And I noticed. Hope you noticed, too. Now you have no excuse, at least.
calling Americans “dumb” because they disagree with you or do not agree with your policies is an extremely bad look for you, as you are both better educated and more fortunate than most Americans. And look how you spend your time: ragging on the GOP, Trump, and his supporters, than feigning concern when they die. Do you honestly not have anything better to do with your time?
edit: to be fair, here is your first hit on the bing search you used to backup your clam that Covid hit the GOP harder:
I’m gonna set aside the obvious issue that NPR is not a neutral outlet. Here are obvious problems with the report:
* It includes party affiliation with health outcomes. Who you vote for is nobody else’s business, and while (totally unbiased) researchers here were able to include this information in their report, they did so while violating their subject’s right to privacy, including medical privacy.
* The vaccination status of the decedent’s was unknown (it had to be inferred by overall vaccination rates in the county. That is height scientific nor accurate.
* The study show minimal difference in outcomes between Democrats and Republicans n the first year, but shows a slight increase in poor outcomes for registered republicans in year two: the “excess death rate” (a completely subjective and made up statistic Is around 18% for Dems in year two and 25% for Republicans in year two. This is reported as “43% worse outcomes form the GOP!!!” Which is incredibly misleading
* The study itself acknowledges its own limitations.
You cited it as factual proof that all GOP counties fared worse (when it looked at exactly two f them) and flatters yourself with mock outrage, and now apparently doubling down on the idea that anyone who disagrees with you is stupid.
