Got his mask on an urathang.

What a time to be alive. Essential employee huh.

I bet that Giant’s supermarket worker who died of Covid for $20 has co workers who will get the vaccine around March/May.


I don’t care if this has nothing to with Biden.
 
Donald Trump just got shut out by the Supreme Court again

The Supreme Court of the United States is well known for its lengthy opinions that set precedents on a wide range of important issues. But, often enough, the Court paves the way to progress through its inaction. We saw this recently when the Court slammed the door on Texas’ frivolous attempt to magically overturn the will of the people in four states because, essentially, the voters preferred Joe Biden.

In just the past week, we saw this again, as the Supreme Court sent two more ill-conceived legal disputes to the jurisprudential graveyard. Had either one of these cases been allowed to proceed, the conservative Court could have later ruled on the merits in a way that would push America even further toward becoming a nation that prides itself on bigotry and hate.

The Supreme Court on Monday refused to hear an appeal from the State of Indiana regarding the rights of same-sex parents. At issue was a state law that barred same-sex parents from being listed on a child’s birth certificate. By choosing not to hear the appeal, the Supreme Court passively let the Seventh Circuit’s decision stand and the law be invalidated. This is a major win for LGBTQ families, who have been in limbo with this issue for years, according to reporting from Slate.com.

On Friday, the Supreme Court again passed on an opportunity to rule, this time concerning the legality of Donald Trump’s plan to exclude residents living in the United States illegally from the census. Although the Court’s dismissal means Trump remains free to pursue his plan, the Court did not give the plan the thumbs up he wanted.

On the contrary, the six conservative justices behind the unsigned majority opinion criticized the Trump administration’s arguments as “riddled with contingencies and speculation.” The justices also conceded that they “simply do not know whether and to what extent” Trump would be able to pull off his plan of “excluding the estimated 10.5 million aliens without lawful status.”

After legal threat, Fox airs news package debunking election fraud claims made by its own hosts

New York (CNN)If President Trump tunes into Fox News this weekend, he may see something unexpected: a point-by-point fact-check to wild election fraud claims made by some of his favorite hosts on the network.

After voting technology company Smartmatic sent Fox News a blistering legal threat that accused the network of participating in a "disinformation campaign" against it, the network has started airing a remarkable news package debunking claims its hosts and guests have propagated.

The package aired for the first time Friday night on Lou Dobbs' show. Fox News said the same package would air Saturday night on Jeanine Pirro's program as well as Sunday morning on Maria Bartiromo's show. All three hosts, who use their platforms to air pro-Trump propaganda, are close with the President.

The stunning news package featured an interview with voting technology expert Eddie Perez, who poured cold water on a series of conspiracy theories that have been amplified and promoted on the shows of Dobbs, Pirro, and Bartiromo.


Perez said, for instance, that he had not seen any evidence that Smartmatic software was used to manipulate the election or that there was a direct connection between the company and liberal philanthropic billionaire George Soros.

As Trump has continued to attack the integrity of the voting system, some of his allies have homed in on Smartmatic because of the services it provided Los Angeles County for the 2020 election.

The baseless conspiracy theories peddled about Smartmatic, which mimic those pushed against Dominion Voting Systems, falsely suggest that the company's technology allowed the November vote to be rigged against Trump.

Some strains of the conspiracy theory have aimed to tie the company to Soros and the late Venezuelan leader Hugo Chávez.

When asked for comment on the surreal news package Fox aired, Erik Connolly, an attorney for Smartmatic, told CNN, "We cannot comment due to potential litigation." A Fox News spokesperson referred CNN back to the segment itself and did not comment further.

In its legal notice to Fox News, dated December 10, Smartmatic identified several instances in which conspiracy theories were spread on its air by either Trump lawyer Rudy Giuliani or former Trump campaign lawyer Sidney Powell. The legal notice, which stated assertions made about Chavez and Soros have no truth to them, also identified instances in which Dobbs and Bartiromo helped spread false information.

Perez, who has a history providing insight to news organizations, told CNN on Saturday afternoon that the interview process with Fox was unusual. Perez said, for instance, that the network would not tell him which show the piece would be aired on and that he found it strange the interview was not conducted by an on-air reporter or host.

"I was never informed that the content would be for Mr. Dobbs' show," Perez told CNN. "And my reaction was to observe as many others have how kind of strange and unique that particular way at presenting the facts was."

"I am not accustomed to seeing Lou Dobbs air very straight forward factual evidence," Perez added, noting it was unusual for the news package to simply end with no comment from Dobbs and then cut to a commercial break.

"I think my main reaction was one of surprise and to think to myself that it was very interesting to see how the interview ultimately played out because I had not been given any reason to expect that was the nature of the story," Perez said.

Perez also said that he was not made aware prior to the interview that the questions would be solely focused on Smartmatic.

"There was nothing in any of the preliminary conversations that I had with Fox News that gave me any indication that Smartmatic would be a matter of conversation," Perez said. "It was never mentioned that this was going to be a discussion about Smartmatic or even claims about private vendors. I was anticipating a broader discussion about the debate around the election, election integrity, so on and so forth."

Asked to describe Fox's coverage of the election, Perez said that its on-air talent has made allegations "that are speculative and not based in fact, many of which are harmful to enhancing public confidence in the legitimacy of election outcomes."

But Perez expressed gratitude for being allowed to deliver the facts to the Fox audience in an unfiltered way.

"I felt it was important to talk to Fox News," Perez told CNN, "if anything potentially more important to be speaking the facts to their audience because there are a lot of consumers of Fox News that have doubts about the election."

This is all a money grab. Ratings, fundraising. But all these mofos respect is pressure. A real lawsuit, not that bullshit, will have them backtracking like Deion. I say keep coming at their necks now that they showed their entire hand.
