To add to that, it is also unusual for the sitting president to consistently blame the prior president on a weekly basis for nearly their entire first term.

To be fair, he wasn't trying to be smug... He was trying to be sarcastic and show that the most factual part of the POTUS tweets are the fact checks provided by Twitter.

One was touted as a miracle cure with no proof, the other is a known quantity stop gap measure.

Analogy: 1. I have a miracle device that will teleport you to the moon, very few people have seen it work but trust me it works. 2. We can go to the moon with rockets, it's expensive and dangerous but it can get you there.

Which of these statements requires more corroborating evidence?

Look up thalidomide before you throw out the long term testing on multiple different populations the FDA requests. Also as others said, the majority of potential drugs are no more effective than previous treatments.

I'm not a big government proponent but corporate greed when it comes to food and drug can be a serious problem.

Without the FDA, pretty good chance that all weight loss drugs would contain tape worms.

They didn’t have to fiddle with the images for the Plateau of Leng, it moves constantly and since this is basically a collage of different photos from different times it just wasn’t ever captured...

Professional football players walk away from very high energy physical assaults every game with no injury at all, I think every person should be required to wear head to toe protective gear and exercise 20-30 hours a week in order to prevent needless injury. That is what you just described. One is a sport, the other is real life. What makes perfect sense to require in a totally voluntary sport with extremely high budgets per “player” would never work in real life.

After all this car also CAUGHT FIRE, maybe if we require halon systems with drop down oxygen support in all cars we could prevent this sort of tragedy.

I live in Arkansas (not exactly Times Square) and I have a 1 GBps synchronous FTTH connection for $80 a month. Next year we have been told 10 GBps will be available, I probably wonâ(TM)t upgrade because I can rarely find many sites that can saturate my current connection. Fast connections ARE available, just not everywhere.

False: in 1776 Virginia had roughly 447,000 people and Georgia had roughly 23,000. If the founders actually had a population that disproportionate how could they not imagine the disparity between California (39 million) and Wyoming (600,000)?

To be fair, we live in the heart of Wal-Mart country and shouldnâ(TM)t assume the other 8,000 stores look like our 30ish stores.

Oddly the Toys R Us in Fort Smith is actually a lot better than the one in Fayetteville and the BRU is separated by a partition and feels like a separate store.

Sorry, I had to...

Most Southerners that have poorly insulated homes aren't too stupid but too poor to have a well insulated home. New homes in the South are very well insulated. I live in Arkansas which is considered a backwater even in the South. My home is about 3 years old with 2x6 exterior construction with an insulated concrete slab foundation and close to three feet of cellulose insulation in the attic. My AC barely runs except when it is above 100F or it is so damned humid I turn the thermostat down to make that manageable.

I also have a solid six figure income in an area where the median household income is under $40k in a state that is worse off than that. If you make $30,000 a year as a family, you can't afford a well made new house now can you spend $20,000+ on a re-model. Where I live the summers are hot but the winters get pretty cold too (and sometimes only a few weeks divides the two), so the insulation would really pay off but if you can barely feed yourself then an extra bill is just not going to happen if they can even get the loan to do it.

Oh, they will stop for them alright...

No, this is a way to significant increase BRAKING power. The speed up is tied to Sol no matter where we point a light sail, by changing the destination we can slow down a LOT faster.

Sounds to me you are describing the same thing as him, just you personally happen to want to buck the social norm so you live in a different oil bubble than most of your race.

If every day the bus was full of multiple races including white and your job was full of multiple races including white, you would actually describe what you think is happening.

At my place of work, about 1/2 the employees are white, about 1/4 are Hispanic (mostly Mexican, but a few from further south), about 1/8 are black and about 1/8 is from somewhere else (mostly the Marshall Islands or China). Everyone gets along pretty good without any racial divides. All in a part of the country that, if most think of it at all, most think of as utterly lily white.

There is a huge difference though. He issued a pointless decree, the west actually has a framework in place to DO it...
