ScottRasmussen.com: Democrats See Trump Supporters and the Unvaccinated As Biggest Threat to Nation
Fifty-seven percent (57%) of Democratic voters believe supporters of Donald Trump are a serious threat to the nation.
A Scott Rasmussen national survey found that 56% of those in President Biden’s party also consider the unvaccinated a serious threat.
That’s a higher level of concern than Democrats express about the Taliban (44% see it as a serious threat); China (44%), or Russia (37%).
These results help explain the tone and actions taken recently by President Biden.
Republicans and Independents have a much different view of the threats facing the nation. For Republicans, the top concerns are the Taliban (66%), Defund the Police Activists (62%), and China (58%).
The top three concerns for Independents are the same as the GOP (though in a different order). The Taliban is the biggest concern for independent voters (46%) followed by China (45%) and Defund the Police Activists (36%).

“There are many people still hospitalized that we are considering post-covid but we’re not counting in those numbers, so how do we include those post-covid people in the numbers of the patients we have in the hospital?”
“We’re calling them recovered now. From our standpoint, we would still consider them a COVID patient because they’re still healing. We can talk offline on how we run it up to marketing.” - Lackey
“I think we have to be more blunt, we have to be more forceful,” - DR Harem Scare'em
“If you don’t get vaccinated you know you’re gonna die. Let’s just be really blunt to these people" - DR Harem Scare'em
"Last year, it was widely suspected that COVID death counts were inflated because hospitals were financially incentivized to assume a COVID-19 diagnosis and patients who died with COVID but not from COVID were possibly all counted as COVID deaths.
In Florida, a fatal motorcycle accident was listed as a COVID-19 death. "
After denying that the federal government could mandate COVID vaccines less than two months ago, the Biden Administration reversed course ...
So was slow Joe lying then or is he lying now?
So a majority of Dems view roughly half of American voters as the greatest threat to the country, while less than than ten percent of Republicans see it that way. The disconnect is remarkable. Talk about a divided country, with no unifying issue in sight.
12:20: At this stage in his life, Joe Biden doesn't lie. That was the Biden of yesteryear. This version may not even know where he is half the time. Literally.
Just shows how stupid Dimmocrats are.
Chairman of the Joint Chiefs Gen. Mark Milley listens while President Donald Trump speaks before a meeting with senior military leaders in the Cabinet Room of the White House on October 7, 2019.
Chairman of the Joint Chiefs Gen. Mark Milley listens while President Donald Trump speaks before a meeting with senior military leaders in the Cabinet Room of the White House on October 7, 2019.
"The story below contains explicit language"
Washington (CNN)Two days after the January 6 attack on the US Capitol, President Donald Trump's top military adviser, Joint Chiefs Chairman Gen. Mark Milley, single-handedly took top-secret action to limit Trump from potentially ordering a dangerous military strike or launching nuclear weapons, according to "Peril," a new book by legendary journalist Bob Woodward and veteran Washington Post reporter Robert Costa.
Woodward and Costa write that Milley, deeply shaken by the assault, 'was certain that Trump had gone into a serious mental decline in the aftermath of the election, with Trump now all but manic, screaming at officials and constructing his own alternate reality about endless election conspiracies.'
Milley worried that Trump could 'go rogue,' the authors write.
"You never know what a president's trigger point is," Milley told his senior staff, according to the book.
In response, Milley took extraordinary action, and called a secret meeting in his Pentagon office on January 8 to review the process for military action, including launching nuclear weapons. Speaking to senior military officials in charge of the National Military Command Center, the Pentagon's war room, Milley instructed them not to take orders from anyone unless he was involved.
"No matter what you are told, you do the procedure. You do the process. And I'm part of that procedure," Milley told the officers, according to the book. He then went around the room, looked each officer in the eye, and asked them to verbally confirm they understood.
"Got it?" Milley asked, according to the book.
"Yes, sir."
'Milley considered it an oath,' the authors write.
"Peril" is based on more than 200 interviews with firsthand participants and witnesses, and it paints a chilling picture of Trump's final days in office. The book, Woodward's third on the Trump presidency, recounts behind-the-scenes moments of a commander in chief unhinged and explosive, yelling at senior advisers and aides as he desperately sought to cling to power.
It also includes exclusive reporting on the events leading up to January 6 and Trump's reaction to the insurrection, as well as newly revealed details about Trump's January 5 Oval Office showdown with his vice president, Mike Pence.
Woodward and Costa obtained documents, calendars, diaries, emails, meeting notes, transcripts and other records.
The book also examines Joe Biden's decision to run for office again; the first six months of his presidency; why he pushed so hard to get out of Afghanistan; and how he really feels about Trump.
WASHINGTON — The chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff twice called his Chinese counterpart in the final months of the Trump administration to reassure him that Donald J. Trump had no plans to attack China in an effort to remain in power and that the United States was not collapsing, according to “Peril,” a new book by the Washington Post reporters Bob Woodward and Robert Costa.
“Things may look unsteady,” the chairman, Gen. Mark A. Milley, told Gen. Li Zuocheng of China on Jan. 8, two days after Mr. Trump’s supporters stormed the Capitol to try to stop the certification of his election loss and in the second of two such calls. “But that’s the nature of democracy, General Li. We are 100 percent steady. Everything’s fine. But democracy can be sloppy sometimes.”
Yet despite his assurances, General Milley was so concerned about Mr. Trump that later that day he convened a meeting with top commanders to remind them that the procedures for launching a nuclear weapon called for his involvement in such a decision.
The book also reveals how Vice President Mike Pence struggled more than was publicly known over how to navigate Mr. Trump’s demands that he upend the election certification. Speaking privately to former Vice President Dan Quayle, who oversaw the certification of the 1992 election in which he was on the losing ticket, Mr. Pence appeared open to going along with Mr. Trump’s plan, pushed the false claim that Arizona’s voting results were wrong and asked whether there was any way he could delay certification.
“Peril,” which is scheduled to be released next Tuesday, says its accounts are based on contemporaneous notes, documents and interviews with unnamed firsthand participants and witnesses. The New York Times obtained a copy of it.
Similar to other media reports and books released since Mr. Trump left office, the book details how Mr. Trump’s presidency essentially collapsed in his final months in office, particularly after his election loss and the start of his campaign to deny the results. Top aides — including General Milley, Defense Secretary Mark Esper and Attorney General William P. Barr — became convinced that they needed to take drastic measures to stop him from trampling on American democracy or setting off an international conflict, and General Milley thought that Mr. Trump had declined mentally in the aftermath of the election, according to the book.
A little less than half of the book also covers the first several months of Joseph R. Biden’s administration, as the new president grappled with the pandemic, a faltering economy, Congress and the military’s withdrawal from Afghanistan.
“If the mission is to preserve the Ghani government, I would not send my own son,” Mr. Biden is quoted as telling aides in his first few months in office during the discussions about the withdrawal, referring to President Ashraf Ghani, who at the time was trying to repel the Taliban from taking over the country.
But it is the book’s details about the Trump administration that are likely to garner the most attention.
In the days leading up to the 2020 election, the book reveals, American intelligence showed that the Chinese believed that Mr. Trump planned to launch a military strike to create an international crisis that he could claim to solve as a last-ditch effort to beat Joseph R. Biden Jr.
General Milley, who had become increasingly concerned about China’s growing military power and the potential for one misread move to set off combat between the world superpowers, first called General Li around that time on a secret backchannel. He wanted to assure General Li and President Xi Jinping that the United States was not planning to attack China.
On the Jan. 8 call, General Li suggested that Chinese leaders feared that the United States government was unstable. He pressed General Milley over the course of an hour and a half about whether the military was going to take action.

Despite General Milley’s reassurances, he feared that Mr. Trump might be trying to find a moment that he could seize on to remain in power, similar to Hitler’s exploitation in 1933 of an arson fire at the German Reichstag to help institute emergency powers, the book said.
But even after the call, General Milley concluded that the situation was “grave” and General Li “remained unusually rattled,” the book reports.
Mr. Trump, General Milley had concluded, did not want a war but might order the launch of some sort of military strike that would set off a chain reaction and lead to war.
“I continually reminded him,” General Milley is quoted as saying, “depending on where and what you strike, you could find yourself at war.”
Later that day, General Milley spoke to Speaker Nancy Pelosi, who was growing increasing concerned Mr. Trump would lash out and use military force.
“This is bad, but who knows what he might do?” Ms. Pelosi said. “He’s crazy. You know he’s crazy. He’s been crazy for a long time. So don’t say you don’t know what his state of mind is.”
“Madam Speaker,” General Milley said, “I agree with you on everything.”
General Milley, who as the president’s top military adviser is not in the chain of command, tried to reassure Ms. Pelosi that he could stop Mr. Trump.
“The one thing I can guarantee is that as the chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, I want you to know that — I want you to know this in you heart of hearts, I can guarantee you 110 percent that the military, use of military power, whether it’s nuclear or a strike in a foreign country of any kind, we’re not going to do anything illegal or crazy,” he said.
“Well,” Ms. Pelosi said, “what do you mean, illegal or crazy?”
“I can give you my word,” General Milley said. “The best I can do is give you my word and I’m going to prevent anything like that in the United States military.”
After speaking to Ms. Pelosi, General Milley convened a meeting in a war room at the Pentagon with the military’s top commanders, telling them that he wanted to go over the longstanding procedures for launching a nuclear weapon. The general reminded the commanders that only the president could order such a strike and that General Milley needed to be directly involved.
“If you get calls,” General Milley said, “no matter who they’re from, there’s a process here, there’s a procedure. No matter what you’re told, you do the procedure. You do the process. And I’m part of that procedure. You’ve got to make sure that the right people are on the net.”
The general added: “The strict procedures are explicitly designed to avoid inadvertent mistakes or accident or nefarious, unintentional, illegal, immoral, unethical launching of the world’s most dangerous weapons.”
Then, he went around the room and asked each officer to confirm that they understood what he was saying.
Twelve days later, General Milley said, he thought he might be one of the happiest people at Mr. Biden’s inauguration because Mr. Trump had finally left office.
“We know what you went through,” Mr. Biden told General Milley shortly before the inauguration. “We know what you did.”
While much had been reported about General Milley’s views of Mr. Trump, the book’s depiction of Mr. Pence revealed for the first time the depths that the vice president went to as his fealty to Mr. Trump collided with calculations about his political future and the counsel of his aides and advisers to follow the Constitution.
In the days leading up to Jan. 6, Mr. Pence called Mr. Quayle, the only living Republican vice president forced to certify an election in which he was on the losing ticket.
Mr. Pence told him that the president was convinced that Mr. Pence could throw out the election results in order to keep himself in power.
“Mike, you have no flexibility on this,” Mr. Quayle told Mr. Pence. “None. Zero. Forget it. Put it away.”
“I know, that’s what I’ve been trying to tell Trump,” Mr. Pence said. “But he really thinks he can. And there are other guys in there saying I’ve got this power.”
Mr. Pence then echoed Mr. Trump’s false claims of election fraud. “Well, there’s some stuff out in Arizona,” Mr. Pence said.
“Mike, I live in Arizona,” Mr. Quayle said. “There’s nothing out here.”
At what point do we treat the MSM in our countries as hostile forces?
They're all majority funded by China and globalist interests, and we are living through 5th generational warfare
If you cannot see that your globalists work with the Chinese and the MSM, then I cannot help you.
But once you realise this, the question is: what to do about it?
If you got their patent company where it hurts, it the pocket book, they might stop, but I doubt it, as they're already preparing for a new and are almost independent of the current financial system, which they co- control through market manipulation etc
If we do not want to be ruled by 51% that are always watching CNN and just believe whatever they tell them, even if it destroys your nation and capitalism with it, then what do we do?
How can we strip them off their press choir credentials they hide behind, making a mockery of law, culture and news?
And who gave it to them in the first place?we need new rules that make lying and suppressing information too costly either through imprisonment or banning from news/press choir
And their parent companies have to suffer. Their actions, cnn actions have caused so much misery around the world. It's not right
Biden in the past believed the vaccine could halt progress of the virus...some time later it became clear to him and to his advisors and to the science people that insufficient number of people were taking or would take the vaccine and so as any wise leader would do, he changed his position to act in order to stem the virus.
what is here a slam at Biden is simply not knowing that a good leader changes with conditions as needed.
US president Joe Biden was abruptly cut off in a live feed mid-sentence by the White House on Monday during a briefing on wildfires with federal and state officials.
After speaking during much of the briefing – which took place during a visit to Boise in Idaho – Mr Biden said he wanted to hear more from George Geissler of the National Association of State Foresters.
“Can I ask you a question?” Mr Biden asked.
“Of course,” Mr Geissler answered.
“One of the things that I have been working on with some others is...” the president was heard saying, before the telecast was cut off mid-sentence.
A clip shared by the research arm of the Republican National Committee on Twitter showed the live-stream was ended abruptly with a “Thank you for joining” message.
"... he changed his position to ..."
Science did not change. Circumstance in the political world did.
what changed or did not change: the number of Americans willing to take the vaccine. That number now changing daily as the non-vaccinated keep getting seriously ill or die. Check the stats via Google if you want to argue the point
"The risk of death after contracting the disease (smallpox) was about 30%, with higher rates among babies." -Wikipedia
The risk of dying from COVID 19 is less than 1% if you are younger than 65 or70.
If you get a smallpox vaccine, you do not get smallpox.
If you get a COVID shot, you can still get COVID.
The village idiot and the local website idiot here believes and desires that we all be mandated to get a COVID shot.
It makes you wonder, if the idiot knows that 1% is less than 30%? Did the idiot pass 1st and 2nd grade? Does the idiot know 1 < 30?
If the idiot knows that 1 < 30 and knows it mechanically or by rote, does the idiot have an intuitive feel for it?
I would think not.
If it did, its thinking and arguments would show that it has an intuitive feel for orders of magnitude.

Filling up the space above the fold of a newspaper with anecdotal scare stories is different than proving something statistically. You are innumerate, which is just as bad as being illiterate or you are a liar, which is worse.
"Many of us have been skeptical about official COVID figures for over a year now. Today, as COVID hospitalization rates are being cited regularly to justify drastic (and unconstitutional) COVID countermeasures,
The Atlantic
points us to a study from Harvard Medical School, Tufts Medical Center, and the Veterans Affairs Healthcare System that suggests official COVID hospitalization rates are overstating reality by
a factor of two."
Everything is being lied about, when the topic is COVID.
name calling?
check stats. those dying mostly non vaccinated. show me otherwise. those dying with vaccine just about all with serious other conditions. Show me otherwise.
some viruses you can get simply by breathing in the contamination but vaccinated are Saved; some viruses are fixed (ask ben franklin) with one treatment and no masks or social distancing or boosters needed. Do no lump all viruses together as though they are one and the same.
I have checked that stats. he government is lying on vaccinated versus unvaccinated.
"... but vaccinated are Saved"
My oh my, but you sound like a Jesus freak. Got the good old government religion, don't you boy.
Did you see your pin up doll AOC at a fund raiser sat the Met with no mask. All the staff had masks on, but none of the high society people did. So no masks and no social distancing. Masks are still a thing according to Fauci and other overlords.
Lies
-Case numbers
-Deaths
-masking
-Social distancing
Those are all lies that Pelosi, Fauci, Biden and other have told.
So the village idiot did not dispute the case rate being artificially inflated. Just moved on from that to death rate of vaxed versus unvaxed.
If you move one and keep on moving, pretty soon you will concede all ground.
People like the village kook are not giving a good reason as to why people who caught COVID in the last year before getting a vaccination, would still need a vaccination. DO YOU HAVE A GOOD REASON WHY PEOPLE WITH NATURAL IMMUNITY SHOULD BE REQUIRED TO GET A VACCINATION?
Death or death rates are lower than in January 2021, but the fascists still want to close down the economy.
Death rates are still a bone to pick with idiots and others. Treatments are denied. Won't deniers be mortified if invermectin works out. They are using it in Japan and India.
Here is a pro tip champ. If you are going to regale me or others with a story of some unvaxed person dying of COVID, don't show any, who are obese. My feeling is that some on 40 or 50 and they are obese, they probably should get vaxed. If you tell me that you think are 20 or 30 something, who is not obese should be pushed, threatened or cajoled into getting vaxed, I think you should take a long walk ..
They are right! The 7,000,000 man White Boy Army will obliterate the traitors from the face of the Earth!!
1. no one has suggested closing down the economy
2. if cases are as you claim inflated, provide data and stats: how many are inflated and how do you know?
anon said he checked the stats> liar. Show us those stats then.
California is “the only large state to improve from red to orange COVID-19 community levels of transmission,” state epidemiologist Dr. Erica Pan said in a tweet Monday night. She credited relatively high vaccination rates, as well as indoor masking practices, in helping drive down new coronavirus infections.
Mask orders are in place in counties where a majority of Californians live, but there is no statewide order requiring indoor mask use in public settings.
It was not immediately clear whether data-processing delays were a factor in California’s lower rate of community transmission. Los Angeles County did not report any cases Saturday or Sunday because of a planned system upgrade.

"The Atlantic

I gave you the link in the original comment. You were too lazy to follow the link. Shame on you.
So you know better than "the researchers from Harvard Medical School, Tufts Medical Center, and the Veterans Affairs Healthcare System" ?
California is “the only large state to improve from red to orange COVID-19 community levels of transmission,” ...
Mask orders are in place in counties where a majority of Californians live
So puta pasted the above @ 4:10. If Masks are so sacrosanct why does the puta not get upset when Democrat leaders have a night out o the town without masks?
Humanity is till learning about this virus. The more I read commentary of epidimologists[sp] concerning the virus' behavior the less I worry. Nonetheless I still put on a mask to go shopping and am careful about distancing and disinfecting my hands. Simple stuff. Effective stuff. In anyone's book.
No. I have not gotten a shot but am considering.
