Recognize anyone ?

That's probably the least of our problems, INow. The Loser is now considering options to strike Iran. This after he's announced plans for troop withdrwals from the Middle East and Afghanistan. The Loser seems a little confused.

doesn't that mean that county's results ( or possibly all of Michigan's, eventually ) are tossed out ? Certainly not that the results 'switch' to the loser ?

Point taken.

Many historical 'facts' are contested and debated by historians. Things like the cause of the fall of the Mycenaean civilization, which, along with Crete, comprised the 1st Greek empire, fought a war with Troy, and literally disappeared from the face of the Earth. Things like did the Roman Empire really fall, or did it just 'absorb' invaders and convert them to the Roman way of life and governance. Things like the cause and mistakes in execution of the 1st World War. And its contribution to the beginning of the 2nd World War. Things like Papal authority ( even over Emperors ) and the amassing of power and corruption by the Church, along with wars encouraged by the Church and the selling of 'Salvation' which led to splintering into differing 'sects'. Things like was the Vietnam War winnable, and more importantly, was winning necessary or of benefit. Things like the paradigm shift that brought about the Renaissance. How many did you want me to list ...

Of the people involved in the study, who got infected with Coronavirus, 90-95% received the placebo. But 5 -10 people who received the actual vaccine treatment were also infected. IOW, a small group of infected people from a large group of test subjects. But as infections go up in the US, much clearer results should soon be available

Whooooo ! 2nd Coronavirus vaccine shows Early success in US tests. https://www.msn.com/en-ca/news/canada/2nd-coronavirus-vaccine-shows-early-success-in-u-s-tests/ar-BB1b3x07?ocid=msedgntp 94.5 % !!!

Of the four leading ( Western ) contenders, I'm not sure if taking more than one will be beneficial. They all seem to get the same result through slightly different means. The four leading Western COVID-19 vaccines (not from Asia) are all "expression-based," meaning that they introduce into the patient's cells the genetic code for a modified spike protein that can't trigger into the post-fusion form (After the virus enters the cell). The Pfizer/BNT and Moderna are mRNA vaccines, AstraZenica/Oxford is a ChAdOx1-vectored vaccine, and the Johnson and Johnson/Jansen is an Adenovirus 26-vectored vaccine. I think all require at least one booster within 3 weeks, and possibly yearly ( ? ) boosters thereafter. I was originally thinking the same thing; if one vaccine gives you 90%, adding another, even with diminishing returns, would get you 95%, and a third might get you to 97%, and so on. But, if initial results pan out, they can get 90%, and start ramping up production/distribution in early 2021, we should be enjoying life again by early summer. Most vaccinations are not even close to 100% ( Polio is, and measles at 97% ), but even at 70-80%, they have allowed us to control various diseases so that we don't even worry about them anymore. Of course there will be people who cannot take the vaccines ( babies, children,allergic reactions, etc. ? ); and then there's the anti-Vaxxers ... edit CharonY may have more ( accurate ) information

According to Wiki, the blue shift of the Hydrogen line frequency indicates a relative motion of about 10 km/sec towards us. So they are already coming for us !!! ( might take some time, as they are 41 LY away )

Yeah, wild game is always more tasty than farm grown meats.

What makes you think no one has … Response[edit] In 2012, on the 35th anniversary of the Wow! signal, Arecibo Observatory beamed a digital stream towards Hipparcos 34511, 33277, and 43587.[29] The transmission consisted of approximately 10,000 Twitter messages solicited for the purpose by the National Geographic Channel, bearing the hashtag "#ChasingUFOs" (a promotion for one of the channel's TV series).[30] The sponsor also included a series of video vignettes featuring verbal messages from various celebrities.[31] To increase the probability that any extraterrestrial recipients would recognize the signal as an intentional communication from another intelligent life form, Arecibo scientists attached a repeating-sequence header to each individual message, and beamed the transmission at roughly 20 times the power of the most powerful commercial radio transmitter.[30 From the Wiki article on WOW signal... https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wow!_signal

During the last months, and in all the debates, D Trump has always claimed a vaccine is 'just around the corner', as a defense against his bungled Coronavirus response. And Pfizer waits until D Trump loses the election t announce their vaccine is testing 90 % effective. Reminds me of the American hostages in Iran being released just in time for R Reagan's election. But I still like it.

That's very conceited. You are the 'Moon'.

Yeah, you see videos of people doing surveys all the time. Every time some guy in camo fatigues, with an assault rifle and 30 round clip, is asked about things like medicare for all, living minimum wage, carbon tax, legalizing pot or forgiving student debt, they are all for it.

I tend to agree Doc. It would be statistically impossible for all Republicans to be idiots. And I'm starting to think that no matter how much some of the members of this forum ( along with some progressive Americans, and the rest of the free world ) may want it, America, as a whole, is not yet ready to embrace a progressive agenda.

Has it ever occurred to you that the inherent paradoxes involved in time travel, such as any causality breaking or 'grandfather' paradox, suggest time travel is unreal ???

Not to me. But he might have a different opinion .

The only way to save his ass, is to quit the Presidency before January, have the Vice-President, M Pence, take over until January, and grant him a pardon. Incidentally, and I don't know whether it's true or not, but I heard that when he first became President, his wife did not move into the White House with him until they re-negotiated their pre-nup agreement. I give her till February to file for divorce.

I don't think so, Dim. D Trump will be very busy during the next 4 years. Fighting indictments, lawsuits, bankruptcies and trying to cover loans from foreign sources. Maybe he'll go back to doing reality TV. ( in Russia, China, or any country without extradition to the US )

D Trump's options for stealing the election are dwindling as quickly as they count votes in Arizona, Nevada, Pennsylvania and Georgia. Even Republicans are abandoning him; most all of them saved their Congress and Senate positions. That's what happens when ass-kissers support you,. They abandon you as soon as they no longer need you. His only option now is to start a war ( preferably nuclear ). They can't force him to leave if the country is at war. ( I joke, but I wouldn't put it past him )

You can't prove multiple universes using time travel. First, you have to prove time travel. Good luck with that ...

All J Biden needs now, is for the count to almost finish in Nevada, and he'll be able to claim victory. Even without waiting for Pennsylvania.

Don't count those chickens yet guys; there are still three eggs to hatch. J Biden is currently sitting at 238 electoral votes. he'll get 16 more from Nevada and Wisconsin, as expected. And Michigan has just switched to a Biden lead with 94% of votes tallied. If he takes Michigan's 16 votes, that would put him at 270 with a win. And he wouldn't have to wait a week, for the Pennsylvania votes to be counted. I am rather disappointed with the results so far. Most Americans don't even realize their democracy is at stake. Even if D Trump loses, and we are spared four more years of marching towards a dictatorship, this close result will only embolden more whack-jobs , and Republicans with more money than brains or heart, to run for the office, and possibly win.

OK Moon. Election songs.

Speaking of rallies ... D Trump, J Biden and K Harris have been criss-crossing and stumping in all the swing states, in last minute attempts to lean them in their own favor. M Pence, meanwhile, has been conspicuously invisible in news coverage. There had been a Covid outbreak among his office staff. Has he maybe contracted the virus, and the Trump team is keeping it under wraps so as not to make public perception worse with regard to their handling of the pandemic ?
