Fox News, Newsmax, OAN, and other TV purveyors of fake news

I always think people miss the point with that "drown in a bathtub" quote. They think it means "Small Goverment." What I have always thought it actually means is a Monarchy or Dictatorship.

[raison de arizona]

Well knock me over with a feather.

Wasn't Hannity one of the Fox "News" opinion hosts who, early in the pandemic, specifically called it a hoax?

So, now he's telling people to take it seriously?

Seriously?

[Frater I*I]

Yeah, now it's a serious public health issue...since now the GQP voters are the one's dying from it mainly.

[neonzx]

I think you are going to see a lot more of this back-peddling. Fortunately, it's the GOP voters who are dying which watched them/trusted them and told them not to get the vaccines -- so there is that.

[much ado]

I would really like to see the red-state statistics of registered Republican deaths versus registered Democratic deaths from COVID. I'm sure it would be interesting...

Protecting people from all sorts of risks is the primary function of governments .

We the people of the United States, in order to form a more perfect union, establish justice, insure domestic tranquility, provide for the common defense, promote the general welfare, and secure the blessings of liberty to ourselves and our posterity, do ordain and establish this Constitution for the United States of America.

[AndyinPA]

Yeah, but that's the Preamble; it doesn't count. Or so I hear from a certain section of the country.

[raison de arizona]

Everyone's favorite clause...

Article I, Section 8, Clause 1:

The Congress shall have Power To lay and collect Taxes, Duties, Imposts and Excises, to pay the Debts and provide for the common Defence and general Welfare of the United States; but all Duties, Imposts and Excises shall be uniform throughout the United States; . . .

Exactly, here's another one

Ya but Vannity, on his Radio show, was apparently still playing down the Vaccine and pushing Hydroycloroquine.

Less people tune in for the radio...plus that's the serious crazies who know he just had to say that on TV to keep those liberal lawsuits from coming in....

[raison de arizona]

And a vaccine finder on the homepage...

[raison de arizona]

Soooooo much wrong with Hannity.

[raison de arizona]

Well knock me over with a feather.

I dunno, seems like a fib.

P.S. And everything is right with the universe again.

Purveyors of garbage.

Yes, it appears Biden is not up to the role. He has not spent a bunch of time at a campaign rally going on about how he can drink water as all the stable genius kids do.

[Volkonski]

Big deal. Warp drive is so 23rd Century. Let us know when they develop spore drive flying machines.

Sorry about the PoliticusUsa link. That website used to be pleasant to read, it is now an absolute mess. There is a video interview there down in the depths someplace.

Help your fellow geek here. Twice the speed of light is what Warp-factor in the Federation ST manual?

Star Trek had different warp tables over its various iterations, but twice the speed of light would be around warp 1.25.

Good to know I have Lucky Luke by my side, he draws faster than his shadow

I always considered Warp 1 = C; Warp 2 = 2C, etc. But I also considered that it might have made sense if Warp 1 = C and Warp 2 = C², etc.

I never looked up to see if Roddenberry had a 'style manual' to ensure consistency.
