That is just what progressivism today is.

My understanding of the definition of a hard Brexit was that it was a No Deal Brexit (Pretty sure that is how it was used last fall). Since we were both responding to Greatbuzz I'd be interested in what he was actually asking.

Actually it is right. The question was it a hard Brexit or a soft Brexit. A hard Brexit would have meant immediate border controls (including in Ulster/Ireland), excise taxes etc being implemented and none of that is happening at the end of the month.

I'm more concerned with banner headlines for everyone that is getting tested, or social media posts/tweets that say 2% death rate of hospitalized patients???? - OMG that means 6 million will die, stock market jitters -etc. etc.

It's soft. Parliament approved the deal.

It's not the CDC that is over reacting - it is much of the media, social media and you, that are.

Seems like we are overreacting as usual. The reported mortality rate (so far) is less than half of that of the flu.

My money is we'll go the same way as the dinosaurs (evolution). Yeah, I'm pretty sure they do know who it spreads (It is a type of corona virus and they have long known how they spread). They just don't know when in spreads (ie the period it begins to be contagious once contracted).

So far about 2% of reported cases. Don't conflate this with infection rates though, which a lot of people sensationalizing this are already doing ( the OMG 2% of US population = 6 million dead!!!! reports/tweets/posts).

Jo Jo Rabbit - Great movie I can see why it was nominated for an Academy Award. Right now it would be a toss up between 1917 and this movie if I was voting (I haven't seen many of the other nominated movies though). For some reason this didn't play in my town during its first release so was happy they released it again.

If it is the fast zombies I'll just turn up the speed on the treadmills.

OMG this is the zombie virus?????? Fortunately I planned for it and tonight I'll be surrounding my house with treadmills.

Read up on the Spanish Flu. Very interesting in how that caronavirus developed and spread versus the normal spread (and why it became so deadly). Interesting note there are multiple strains of the same virus. The deadlier the strain the less likely it is to spread widely - Spanish flu was the exception: from wiki "....... This increased severity has been attributed to the circumstances of the First World War.[76] In civilian life, natural selection favors a mild strain. Those who get very ill stay home, and those mildly ill continue with their lives, preferentially spreading the mild strain. In the trenches, natural selection was reversed. Soldiers with a mild strain stayed where they were, while the severely ill were sent on crowded trains to crowded field hospitals, spreading the deadlier virus. ........"

That is exactly what they are doing. This will get sensationalized over the following days and weeks.

Visiting Mayamar this weekend having fun pretending to be a spammer calling random people back in the US.

Fixed that for you.

Once restrictions on the number centrifuges were to be lifted that would give the Iranians the ability to rapidly produce a bomb if it so desired. Lifting restrictions on the the number of centrifuges was specifically part of the deal at the 10 year point. As in the deal specifically stated Iran could have however many centrifuges it wanted at that point.

With and expiration on Iran's limitations after 10 years. After 10 years it would have been impossible to reimpose the sanctions (remember prior to the treaty even Russia and China were abiding by much of the sanction requirements). Basically Obama told the Iranians OK you can have the bomb as long as you don't get it on my watch. There is really no disputing it was a ****ty deal designed to do just that.

The problem was there weren't enough opponents when the original deal was made. It was an awful deal. Basically saying yes you can have the bomb but not for 10 years. ( I guess the hope was that the Iranian regime would reform - ie fall sometime in those 10 years).

Is it really restraint if the bigger guy kicks you in the teeth after you poked him with a stick a few times and you then just sit there shocked ( although right after throwing a rock at him and missing)?

You are attributing to her the exact opposite (literally the exact opposite) of what she was complaining about the President over (his lies).

re: final point I think that may be his default setting kicking in.

Yes you got that right. He lies when he doesn't need to. And definitely didn't need to lie over the Soliemani killing.

And what has that to do with the price of tea in China?

Cherry pick? Heck a combine would probably more in order when it comes to finding the stupid assertions, hand wringing, theories etc made by Democrats or their supporters following the Soliemani killing.
