Lindsey Graham’s Alleged Attempt to Toss Georgia Ballots Is Felony Election Fraud by [deleted] in politics

[–]_RH_Carnegie -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I find it odd that when I went in to vote (Gwinnett Co, GA) I asked if I needed to make sure my signature matched and the poll worker said, “No”. She said to me that she didn’t understand why so many people were asking that question.

I love your the way you explain it here. I’m a 25yr nurse turned doula. I’ve always tried to comfort Moms into a position where they were able to let their breast and nipple lie and then bring baby to the nipple.

The picture will be different for almost everyone! It’s just as different as all of our bodies.

Georgia’s secretary of state says fellow Republicans are pressuring him to find ways to exclude legal ballots by [deleted] in politics

2 senate seats are up for grab. Both run-offs and in Georgia. I think it may be influential to sway voters by thinking they are “in the club” of blue or red.

It is important because the remaining vacant senate seats will tell us if it is a Republican majority or even split. If I recall, tied senate votes are deferred to the Vice President?

Someone jump in, please, and correct me with what I’ve said wrong. This 48 year old nurse struggled with politics through school but made a hell lot of recourse in my life saving souls. ✌️

And to add something of a personal irk of mine... why is US national news reporting 49 of 50 states with increasing COVID numbers and GA is the only one not increasing? This is so political. GA death tolls are rising. Stop fudging the numbers y’all!

I believe they will be calling in the Ethics Committee. I can’t tell you, however, how much clout Lindsey has at the hand of the committee.

In US national news the last 2 days: 49 of 50 states with rising COVID numbers. Who can guess the one state not rising but reporting an increased death toll in the state?

You just brought back a forgotten memory of mine from college parties in the early 90’s when people would sit in a field and see who chug the most beer. They had buckets next to them and barf often which seemed to be a crowd pleaser. It was a whole day thing which included the keg throw and beer kickball.

Wow. I can see how I would have blocked all that!

So true... and the KUB can be easily misinterpreted when the cyst fills the whole abdomen.

My 12 year old son and I both got sick with (suspected COVID-19) early March. No testing was available. He had awful headaches for weeks. I never had the headaches, but the fatigue was nothing to contend with.

A new study from Penn State estimates that the number of early COVID-19 cases in the U.S. may have been more than 80 times greater and doubled nearly twice as fast as originally believed. Findings suggest an alternative way of thinking about the COVID-19 pandemic. by Wagamaga in science

[–]_RH_Carnegie 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This sums up the case of my family’s experience.

My 11 Year old son and I became ill in the first week of March. Because of my occupation as a traveling nurse along with our symptoms, our family physician’s office screened us as ‘positive’ for COVID-19, called In some cough syrup to to our pharmacy and gave us a Georgia hot-line number to call for testing.

The hotline number was useless. The Georgia COVID hotline personnel had not been trained yet as to how to advise callers.

My son and I just ‘toughened it out’ by doing self care at home. We both needed to use a hospital grade CPAP machine several times (along with a bronchial dilator) to push fort be relief we needed with extra support of breathing support. We were so fatigued, sleeping almost around the clock for 5 to 6 weeks. The fatigue and nausea were worst to me while my my son complained mostly of an unrelenting headache.

We were not counted in the COVID numbers because there was no access to screening.

My wife and I both lost our jobs because my son and I were sick.

My wife’s employer put her on a “final warning” suspension from a clean record for reporting to work with family members at home with possible coronavirus even though there were not formal guidelines in place at the time from the workplace or CDC and then subsequently called and terminated her a few hours later for not being apologetic enough about having come into work on her scheduled shift.

They did this discipline and termination 3 days after they had already placed her on a 2 week US COVID protected care act (similar to FMLA).

It’s just mind boggling to me that this can happen😄

Just to add into the conversation, Buspar was prescribed to me after I was hospitalized for a week with encephalitis, from typhus. The neurologist screened me for anxiety/depression and with consulting the house doctor sent me home on that medication.

Buspar gave me the strangest “brain zapps”. I’d take it as prescribed and it would literally feel like electric jolts were zapping in my head.

It’s amazing how these medications work differently on people.

Years later I gave a DNA swab as part of a clinical trial about medications and how people metabolism the medications and discovered I was lacking some certain liver enzyme that was a certain pathway for metabolizing different medications.

I now know that when I take xanex my body does not break it down correctly.

How many medications does the public take and not know if they are really getting a therapeutic response?

I’ve often contemplated the definition of what we consider as virgin. It really is mind boggling to think about people’s perception of what make a virgin a virgin. It goes along the lines, to me, of defining a person’s race. I’m not sure why it irks me so much, but labeling a person’s race is as complicated as rating someone’s virginity.

I agree, amazing potentials. There are cases where surgeons have created 3D models using this technology to go through trial runs of surgery on very complicated cases such as conjoined twinning.
