If you ever need any proof that Greg is just trolling, this is the thread. "How could [racist viewpoint] be racist?? I heard it from [Candace Owens/Rush Limbaugh/Donald Trump/Tucker Carlson]!" is admittedly an amusing bit

For those who were asking about this earlier, here’s a twitter thread with 163 and counting unnecessary acts of violence by the police against protestors that are largely being unreported in the news:

Thanks!

I ask this with no political agenda or motivation, but given how low the positive rates have been in IL for a couple weeks now, could one argue that we're opening too slowly? It almost feels like Phase 3 could've started a week or two ago, and at this rate, Phase 4 should be in the near future rather than in July/August

Exactly. I wouldn't mind a Bailey pick but the conspicuous smoke around it tells me it probably won't be happening

In spite of my jab at her on the last page, I think Warren is the best option for the reasons you laid out. That said, I would prefer her to be at the top of the ticket and not Biden, but that’s obviously not happening

To be fair, Warren is (in typical fashion) changing her views to align more with Biden's, so you never know

Not disagreeing with the end of your sentence, but there's definitely something wrong with a white guy telling black people what does or doesn't make them black, especially when the guy was a segregationist

Why not both? My main concern is that allowing for loopholes where the super wealthy get to avoid prison time, while non-violent offenders remain locked up, is just very inconsistent and unfair to the latter

For someone who (including spouse) is worth $90 million, yes

Yeah I should have clarified: either they would cheat for other people's kids, or other rich parents would feel comfortable doing the same for their kids since there weren't real punishments (in this example)

I couldn't disagree more. Without consequences, it's very likely (IMO) that they will try again. Especially when it comes to white collar crime like this

I can't believe this is still a thing. This thread, which was once a refuge from the craziness and conspiracies on basically any other public forum, has gotten hard to read ever since more people started taking Greg's bait and the False Equivalence Army came out of the woodwork... but even then, I can't believe that the latter is still arguing for that drug even after it was revealed weeks ago that the whole thing was just another profit scheme masquerading as health care (obviously, in addition to the drug not even working)

If Illinois indeed moves to Phase 3 at the end of the month, how (if applicable) would the rest of you Illinoisans change your behaviors? For example, I haven't seen my grandparents (all 4 of which are healthy and live nearby) in-person since early March. They are all high-risk due to both age and things like diabetes, past cancer treatments, etc, and I'm not sure if it would be appropriate to see them even once restrictions are eased

I must have missed that. I knew it was getting lower but not that much, this soon. That’s great

Almost seems too good to be true (the single digit %)

The "half" didn't come from you. It was a number thrown out a week or two ago in one of the initial reports about these negotiations (don't remember which reporter), but they have since been saying it's 40% like you mentioned

The Players Union has no reason to believe that this would be true. Same goes for the claim that the owners would be "operating at a loss". Until they can back up their claims with evidence, it's all meaningless. And personally, I have a hard time believing that concessions + ticket sales account for half of teams' revenue in 2020

I like some of their old stuff but didn't know they have a new album, I'll check it out

And that’s without even mentioning that it got responses from the Auschwitz Museum, Pritzker himself, etc.

Yes, it is.
