I love the hypocrisy of the Democratic party. Granted, Biden does not remember yesterday but Reade does. When is her time in the spotlight and where is the overwhelming support for this victim of sexual assault from the Democratic party?

I posted NY's original reaction and they told NYers they were low risk and not to worry.
"NY's original reaction"??? New York is a state, not a person. If this character is talking about DeBlasio, yeah he said that early in February, before most people even realized that there was a serious threat. Most people, that is, who weren't being given updates and warnings like the ones Trump ignored in January and February.
Trump installed the travel during that time. The Democrats were impeaching and completely ignored the virus.

A couple of pages back this came up. Now it is official. You Tube now decides what you see and hear.

YouTube Deletes Video Of California Doctors Who Argued For Lifting COVID-19 Restrictions
It does not fit the narrative from the MSM and Democrats. POOF, it's gone.
Quote:
Despite the fact that the video shows both sides of the debate, YouTube still believed it was necessary to take it down. Social media companies like YouTube – which is owned by search engine giant Google – are led and staffed predominantly by leftists. These entities are already known for squelching voices that don’t fall in line with the progressive agenda, and this is just another example of how the far left is trying to ensure that the American public heeds their arguments.
Of course, they’re not admitting to pursuing a specific agenda. Instead, companies like YouTube and Facebook claim they are engaging in this censorious behavior because they want to make sure that the public isn’t misinformed.
This censorship is part of an attempt to scare Americans enough to comply with ongoing restrictions on their freedoms. Nevertheless, states are beginning to reopen their economies despite the left’s constant pearl clutching. So far, all indications suggest that a return to normalcy is going to happen sooner rather than later.
EXCLUSIVE: ‘Joe Biden, I Want You To Release The Personnel Records’: Tara Reade Demands Transparency From Biden
Quote:
“Joe Biden, I want you to release all the personnel records from 1973 to 2009 and be transparent about your office practices,” Reade told the DCNF. “I would like to hold you accountable for what happened to me, to how your staff protected you and enabled you, bullied me multiple times into silence.”
“You ended my career,” she told Biden. “You ended my job after you assaulted me. You claim to be the champion of women’s rights, but your public persona does not match your personal actions.”
Why the Home Office should publish its grooming gang research
Need to keep an eye on the UK so we know not what to do if this starts here.
Quote:
This government decision has understandably caused consternation and public anger, given that almost 19,000 children were victims of ‘grooming’ in England between 2018-19. An e-petition launched last month urging the Home Office to release the review in full has, at the time of writing, obtained a staggering 122,826 signatures – enough to secure a debate in Parliament. But because of Covid-19, the debate is unlikely to happen any time soon. On Friday the government responded to the petition, arguing that: ‘Any insights gained from this important internal work will be used to inform our future action to end this devastating abuse, including the forthcoming Strategy.’ It went on to warn, ‘Extremists may also seek to exploit legitimate concerns to sow further division. The Government will continue to challenge these views and to help communities unite.’
Survivors I’ve spoken to see the government’s hesitation to release the report as an act of betrayal. This includes a Rotherham survivor who goes by the pseudonym Ella Hill. She may have escaped the monsters in Rotherham, but she is now persecuted online for daring to discuss (and write about) the racial and religious dimension to the abuse she suffered. She told me:
“Releasing the report will not cause as much anger as withholding is doing. We already know what it will say. Now we want to know what they [the government] are going to do about it.'
I do share the concern that bringing this information into the light might anger some people, but we must remember that we are not responsible for their actions. It’s the racist rapists who are ultimately responsible for inflaming racial tensions, not those of us who have a duty to pick up the pieces.
If nothing else, the reluctance to publish this research will give oxygen to the very people who wrongly demonise all men of Pakistani heritage as ‘groomers’ and who demonstrate a broader contempt for immigrants and foreigners.
Worse still, this reluctance to publish gives cover to the perpetrators themselves. Surely, we all need to know more about their characteristics in order to disrupt their activities? The government could even publish the report while redacting ‘operationally sensitive’ information. The victims and the public deserve to know the truth.

One would think this little detail of some importance.
Since it shows the Democrats were worse, it should be. The facts are on Trump's side.

McConnell told Fox News Radio.
Easy enough to see Mitch dressed like Brando in The Wild One swaggering down an alley, head tilted slightly, smirking, his muscular buttocks stretching the black leather pants, switchblade glinting in the dim light.
I just hope he didn't get a tickle in his throat and passed on any latent CV-19 germs he might have. There is a reason why it is recommended you wear a mask.
Read and learn.

Can face masks help prevent the spread of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19)? Yes, face masks combined with other preventive measures, such as frequent hand-washing and social distancing, help slow the spread of the disease.
So why weren't face masks recommended at the start of the pandemic? At that time, experts didn't yet know the extent to which people with COVID-19 could spread the virus before symptoms appeared. Nor was it known that some people have COVID-19 but don't have any symptoms. Both groups can unknowingly spread the virus to others.
These discoveries led the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) to do an about-face on face masks. The CDC updated its guidance to recommend widespread use of simple cloth face coverings to help prevent transmission of COVID-19 by people who have the virus but don't know it.
In very large part, America is as fucked up as it is because of the Murdoch family.

@revelette3,

why it is recommended
Which means you have a choice. I have not worn one (mask) and I have been out everyday. This virus did not change my life one bit, except for keeping social distance out of respect for strangers. It has been a severe overreaction and now only serves the Democrats political needs. It will not last long enough for Trump to lose the election.
Let's consider how Rosen's argument applies to site trolls...

Sometimes it disinfects, says Whitney Phillips, but sunlight also makes things grow. https://cjr.org/the_new_gatekeepers/disinformation-whitney-phillips.php Her point: you can't necessarily "expose" an online extremist or troll campaign without completing their work for them, since media attention is how they thrive.

This is why Phillips and other scholars have tried to introduce a term to newsroom decision-making: amplification. The facts are out there, but be careful about which ones you amplify because you may be assisting bad actors or spreading disinformation. https://datasociety.net/library/oxygen-of-amplification/
