It’s not a given, because perhaps there could be regression, but it’s not a very ambitious goal to merely maintain the same rate.
Charlie, you are overlooking Warp Speed.
Yes, he messed up on messaging, but overall I think saved more lives than he cost.
You make it sound like he’s responsible for all 400,000 deaths, as if nobody would have died of we had a different president, which is totally disingenuous of you.
And I don’t like (understatement) how he acted after the election, but it doesn’t negate all the good he did. Only someone with a huge liberal bias like you would ignore all of the positives.
why aren’t you taking this seriously.
Taking what seriously?
Jackk, I’m impressed.
I have no problem answering – Q anon are a bunch of loonies and yes, we landed on the moon – but the fact that you even ask is a deflection.

Can you answer why any religious person could ever support a rasha like Trump?
We didn’t vote for tzaddik. We voted for the person who would implement the best policies.
Not that Biden is exactly a lamed vovnik himself.
Most Jews voted for Biden.
Who cares
Most frum Jews in my neighborhood voted for Biden.
Who cares
For some reason, although your positions on Covid are basically reasonable, the way you argue them, with made up facts, distortions of others’ statements, and not really addressing or listening to what others are saying, you weaken your position immensely.
the dangers of the vaccine pale in comparison to the dangers of allowing COVID-19 to continue unchecked.
That might very well be true but it hasn’t been proven.
I certainly hope CA is right. If not, though…
1) Sure, why not?
2) If he’s not convicted in the Senate, it’s very likely he’ll run again. Whether he’ll win would probably depend on how the country is doing then.
Before I respond to that, can I ask a few unrelated question?
You can ask, it’s a free country, you’re allowed to dodge the comment and pretend you didn’t.
Anytime someone can’t find a way to argue an anti Trump opinion, they go straight to the response, “there you go, listening to the left wing media, blah blah blah”.
If the debate is about facts, and the source is the media, then it’s a fair argument.
I think that Trump pardoned himself and family privately, so when necessary, he will be able to refer to it.
Before or after he declared martial law?
To answer the OP, yes, I still would have voted for him.
Since there is considerable uncertainty and disagreement among legal scholars as to whether the Trumpkopf can pardon himself, he will likely resign the morning of January 20th, fly back to Mar a Lago, and while he is in the air, President (for 3 hours) Pence will issue a full and complete pardon of the FORMER President.
That prediction didn’t play out too well.
Biden appoints Jews in his cabinet, Blinken and Yellin.
As opposed to Trump who doesn’t want to have anything to do with Jews?
The Proud Boys, and lots of white supremist anti-Semitic groups, think Trump supports them. You Jews who think Trump is your friend, and those anti-Semites, cannot both be right.
Why would I care what they think? If they think Trump hates Jews they’re just delusional.
I am so glad I stocked up on pasta and tuna. I really hope this martial law is over before Pesach.
Avereimele, you are pulling the same old schtick of ignoring my main point to focus on some narische technical inaccuracies. Fine I was wrong about Eretz Yisroel. Nu, what about the vaccination program?
I sure hope the people doing research on the vaccines didn’t make such “narische technical inaccuracies”.
Basically, whoever said that is cherry picking a statistic which would make one think Trump won, although it does not really indicate that he did.
Is this true, if so how could he lose?
The election is not won by the victor of most counties…
So if more populous counties tend towards Biden (which makes sense, since urban areas tend to be Democrat-leaning), the overall vote could still go to Biden.
I don’t think a pregnant or nursing 28 year old with no antibodies should rush to get it.
I understand the concern, but isn’t covid a concern too?
I think anyone with antibodies should wait, and anybody without antibodies should get it as soon as they can.
I don’t understand why this isn’t the standard recommendation.
AAQ is right. If we are already giving a million doses per day, 100 million doses in 100 days isn’t a very ambitious goal.
You are responding to the wrong question.
The question was, “How would we know if there was fraud?”
The question you are answering is, “How do we know that there was no fraud?”
You know it won’t happen, but anyhow, why is it his last chance? Do you think he can’t once he’s no longer president?
Dy,
I think that Hashem knows a persons true motivation and his past precedent solidifies that (if a person wants to give tzedakah at any opportunity possible)
Of course He knows (even without past precedent). It was a rhetorical question. I think the person buying the lottery ticket “l’shem shomayim” is fooling himself.
Asking Hashem to let you win so you can help mosdos, tzedakah etc…. is asking to be zoche to be a great shaliach MItzvah.
There are lots of wonderful mitzvos. You are suggesting we ask for the zechus to be able to perform one which allows us to keep 10% of hundreds of millions of dollars, and expect Hashem to be fooled ch”v into thinking it’s l’shem shomayim?
@ Participant,
The first song on the first Uncle Moishy record.
Now do you understand the concept of how some things are meant to be momentary but we use texting which is a great way to send material, but the drawback is that its saved. Would that also be an “odd” request on your part to ask them to delete it?
Yes, it would be odd.
What if you sent someone a funny video of yourself to cheer them up for the moment they were sad, but now it is saved forever and can possibly circulate elsewhere?
You should have asked not to forward it. Even if you didn’t, it’s fair to ask later on not to forward it. That’s not the same thing as asking to delete it.
But its not about who owns it, its the fact that its your content.
No, it’s not your content. Rephrasing “you own it” to “it’s your content” doesn’t suddenly make it true.
yes you dont own the messages which are on the other phone, however who does own them?
Nobody
Why is it about having kids? It’s either science based or it isn’t
I’m not sure what you mean by science based. I don’t think weighing the potential risks of covid vs. the damage done to children when they are deprived of school is a scientific question. I think someone with kids might be able to appreciate the second side of the equation better than someone who doesn’t.
AAQ, that whole discussion has no bearing on this question.
Here, you didn’t create covid.
Even if in the past you were irresponsible for not minimizing your exposure, that has no bearing on the vaccine, which prevents one from getting dangerously ill from a future exposure.
The discussion you referred to might apply to a person who intentionally or through irresponsibility got very sick from covid and survived. Applying it to the vaccine doesn’t make sense, as Syag seemed to say.
-quite simple, ubiquitin wanted to share with us that he can only think dirty.
No. You brought that up, not Ubiquitin
An imam a priest and a rabbit go to donate blood. The rabbit says, “I think I’m a typo”.
Ask New York that question in regards to the vaccine, teachers can get it but grocery store employees can’t (yet)
They can. From the NYC vaccine finder site:
“Who can get vaccinated right now?
Currently, the vaccine is being provided to people 65 and older, teachers and education workers, first responders, public safety workers, public transit workers, grocery store workers, healthcare providers and staff with direct patient contact, emergency responders, staff at COVID-19 testing and vaccination locations, home health aides, and long-term care staff and residents among others. Click here for more details on the groups currently eligible for the COVID-19 vaccine.”Regarding the OP, I don’t think you “own” the messages you’ve sent, and I think it’s a bit odd to even request they be deleted, but it might be appropriate to tell the person you sent it to that in retrospect, you wish you hadn’t sent it.
Ugh, why did this conversation turn nasty?
Why are grocery store workers “essential” when it comes to lockdowns but not when it comes to vaccinations?
Who says they aren’t?
