Neat but scary e. coli experiment

First just as a friendly request. There already is a couple threads on vaccines. This could be a related but separate subject please if you want to talk about vaccines use one of those threads.

The Harvard Medical School did a experiment involving e. coli. They made a 2' by 4' petri dish. They put agar divided in to 7 segments. The 2 outside segments had no antibiotic. The next section had just the minimum amount to kill the e. coli. Then each section the antibiotic percentage was raised by 10 fold.

Now to the neat part at least to me. It shows a really good example of new strains evolving across the time span of the video. The diagram of strains toward the end really shows the strength of diversity in evolution.

The scary part. The ease and speed of the mutations across the petri dish. There was a large amount of e. coli so kind of expected but still spooky. Remembering that people will start a course of antibiotics then not finish their prescription as prescribed by their doctor essentially does the same thing but in slower motion. The over prescribing of antibiotics also can create "super bugs" The normal use of antibiotics in our food chain. I know there are economic reasons for it. But it really needs to be addressed.

Personal feelings on the subject. Antibiotics have saved so many lives they have a important part and need to be used. But there does need to be more consideration on the automatic use of them both for people and anumals. People who start out a prescription of antibiotics need to make sure they complete the prescription.

Here is the link for more information and the video. It really is worth watching and reading.

Chelsea needs to move

The media just made her apartment a target for dipshit donnie followers.

September 11, 2016

CNN had a guardian news person on

Showing pictures of Hillary around 9/11. That is someone who cares and shows what presidential means. Dipshit donnie was just interested in making money and getting his 150k for his small business.


Edit to add: Really good interview. Short but good. Talking about how the New York fire fighters thought really highly of her and how she related to them. I know if her campaign came out with this it would have repub's screaming she is using 9/11 for political reasons. But I hope the news media has more like this interview.

How many dipshit donnie surrogates and lawyers were with the repub platform committee?

Okay, tin foil hat warning. So please humor me.

Mainly wondering about how many of his lawyers he had there. If I remember correctly a article said he had close to a hundred lawyers sitting in with the platform committee. I also am not sure if the veracity of the claim was correct. I have tried doing some google searches but haven't come up with anything on it. I have found the reports of the surrogates and lawyers essentially bullying some of the committee members to add stuff like the nato and Ukraine parts in. But From what I saw on the fec campaign filings I don't see corresponding payroll numbers for that. I can assume some may be volunteering time. But the question then becomes what special interest or why they would be volunteering to insure it is part of the platform? Is there any russian links? Between boris and manfart there could a connection. Or did he pay for it out of private funds which I am pretty sure would be a fec violation. I doubt if it would be from him.

Two questions I'd like to see the news media ask dipshit donnie

This is more to make right wing heads explode more then anything.

First what is you stance on gun control? And after he answers that. Do you support allowing terrorist on the no fly list to purchase guns?

Next since he is at the values conference trying to convince him he is a christian. What is the name of your pastor? When was your last confession?

Of course the pay for play evangelicals will still shill for him, but I still would like to hear him try to answer it.

Putin said dipshit was "bright" not brilliant

From the Rachel Maddow show

Evidently there was a mix up on the word Putin used to describe dipshit donnie. The news even put out a correction later the term in russian is referring to actually bright or brilliant was meaning more something like flamboyant. Not brilliant as in smart.

Kim Jong-un has 100% approval rating.

Ask anybody over there. Dipshit donnie do you think it's really true? Do you aspire to have the same ratings?

Question on attorney generals and donations from dipshit

Okay, we have seen there have been donations to bondi and abbot. Just wondering when looking at the list of donations dipshit has made are there any more in the list?

First the link for the list link at politifact

http://www.politifact.com/punditfact/statements/2015/jul/09/ben-ferguson/donald-trumps-campaign-contributions-democrats-and/

Next the link they provide of his donations. I don't know enough on who is who to guess if there are other attorney generals or others who might be able to influence his trump u case.

CNN Victor Blackwell got me to thinking this morning about dipshit's taxes

First I do like him he has been pretty good on calling bullshit from surrogates.

Okay, it got me to thinking about why dipshit wouldn't want his tax records released. So kind of putting together a list of possible reasons.

1. Yep, it's true he is having a audit and he depends on his team of lawyers so much he lets them make his decisions for him.

2. The charitable donations amounts and other possible wrong doing similar to his giving money from his foundation to Bondi's election fund. Has he giving direct contributions but filed them as charity donations?

3. Donations to churches. Has he even done that other then to his buddy in Louisiana?

4. He's not worth as much as he says. Now here is where it can get interesting also. What is the possible reasons?
A. He doesn't want the American people to know he doesn't have as much as he puts on. And he is a fraud?
B. He doesn't want his creditors to know how much he is actually worth and shoots down any chance of getting more loans?
C. He doesn't want his employees to know he may not be able to make payroll?
D. He doesn't want his stock/name to tank if it comes out?
E. He is afraid someone will start repo'ing stuff to make sure they get their payment?
F. He is afraid his "friends" will abandon him if they find out and he will be alone with no one to talk at.
G. He has stacked loans. I.E. He took loans to pay off interest on previous loans because he couldn't pay on them. In other words his total loans may be a lot less then his total assets.
H. All of the above?

Added another to the list. Moved previous G to H

Is it legal to have a campaign speech at church?

I thought candidates could go to a church but doing a political speech or the church showing support could affect it's tax exempt status?


Edit to add:
If it can affect it I'm sure the bishop didn't think about that. But they may end up being more debris in dipshit donnie's wake.
