'Better than 19 in 20' would mean more than 95% => 99% 'Less than 1 in 20' would mean less than 5% => 1% Jerry Baumchen If the doc tells you that you have better than 95% of a good outcome for your experimental surgery, I doubt that you are thinking 99%.

Jerry Baumchen Imagine President Putin listening to a briefing about Rand Paul's tweet. Trying to make sense of it. Tweets like this, trump's statements this last week, Qanon, the Michigan arrests. Is this what the fall of the Roman empire was like at the start? The gaslighting is beginning to take effect. January 20th...January 20th...January 20th...

Interesting that you have Kanye West as a Presidential candidate, and we have him as a VP candidate under Rocky (and not the same party affiliation as in CO).

JerryBaumchen 1,363 #595 October 11, 2020 Hi folks, Maybe this thread should be titled: 'The 2020 Election trump v. Biden, et al' 'The other 1,214 candidates running for president' https://www.bbc.com/news/election-us-2020-54334173 I just received my Voter's Pamphlet ( put out by our Sec of State ) and it has Trump, Biden & three others. I do not know the details, but you cannot get on the ballot here in Oregon just because you want to; there is some criteria/benchmark that I am not knowledgeable about.

I truly hope it gets the result it deserves. Not really. I think that "Trumpism" is far more a symptom of the disease than the disease itself. Keep in mind that McConnell & the rest of the Rs put party before country quite a while prior to Trump rising to prominence. Trump wasn't even thought of as a candidate back in 2012 when McConnell decided to "oppose anything Obama brought up, even if it would be bad for the country". And Trump had barely gotten out of the gate when they decided not to even consider the Garland SC nomination. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
