His work is about probability and your comment shows he does a good kob of explaining that.

what makes you think it's "companies, lobbyists, staffers" instead of the top elected officials and policy-makers?

McKinley, Taft, Coolidge and Reagan were dead wrong in this. Why do you think Reagan launched his campaign at the site of a famous civil rights murder and loudly allied himself with the killers? And why were so many furious at that?

it would not be thus if those who waged war against the union had accepted defeat and the humanity of the recently enslaved Africans, and if the northerners had not shamelessly horse-traded away the rights of those Africans. That's why we have the history we do. But u know that.

Back to 2003 when I was a CDC Knight Journalism Fellow and then a cub medical reporter for CNN, learning epidemiology and how to cover infectious disease in the real world... we all knew @HelenBranswell was the best in the game. + kind and generous in sharing her knowledge.

What do you make of the fact that while U.S. suffered inflation under Biden, it was lower than any of its allies, who all enacted tighter fiscal policy? Not rhetorical Q, curious.

two things can be true at once.. most on scene (not 99%, but plenty of em) were just idiotic dupes, but there was unquestionably a larger plan. And no it wasn't a shady election any more than any other election - that was 100% BS spin.

How foolish.. The riot was just part of a larger plan, sowing chaos for months to cast doubt on the results.. give cover to congressional allies to not accept the electoral votes. If Pence had gone along it woulda worked, or at least gotten to a much darker place.

Sorry thats a pathetic answer. Not credentialing a NYT reporter is just being petty and pandering to the die-hards. Have fun in the bunker with them.
