    What to call this thread?

    Perhaps. BUT ! Even if it's both, how can we determine the ratio? As you suggest: do those stats indicate a change in the population? Or instead, does it merely reflect refined detection criteria / methodology that has enabled us to detect it today when years ago it would have gone...

    What to call this thread?

    Yes. BUT ! It's neither illegal nor unscientific to study risk to an entire population. You are correct that this is determined by study design, the test population selection criteria. Serendipitous test results are not unknown to science. I know of nothing intrinsically wrong with your study...

    The Second Term of Donald J. Trump as President of the United States of America

    I have not corroborated that, but if true, typical of bias confirmation for never-Trumpers (including me). President of the United States of America Donald John Trump says many many things I simply do not believe. But I believe this quotation, and vaguely recall having seen the sound-bite. a)...

    The Second Term of Donald J. Trump as President of the United States of America

    I've been puzzling over that since before the 2016 election. Physically Trump seems to get around OK. Back in 2016 I didn't think much of Trump's politics. The elapsed decade hasn't been an improvement. Trump's politics: 2016: "I will build a great, great wall on our Southern border. And I...

    The Second Term of Donald J. Trump as President of the United States of America

    No huge MTG fan here. BUT ! As a matter of fundamental journalistic principle, commenting on actions, conduct, political policy positions, seems well within reason. BUT does speculating about motive and presenting it as fact qualify as journalism? ahhh That's better. There's a potentially...

    Obituary: ... there they go !

    I have not encountered any reports of blackmail between Trump and our judiciary, though we know Republicans have been packing our law courts for years. There's more than one possible explanation.

    What to call this thread?

    Why? To solve a problem the current classification causes? Like what? It seems RFKj may simply be seeking favor from Trump. The priority is clear for RFKj. Indulging Trump's bigotry is a higher priority than Health and Human Services.

    Obituary: ... there they go !

    Grounds for appeal? I doubt Trump would shy away from a courtroom. The reports I've read of indicate Trumps been involved in literally thousands of court cases over the decades. Seems to me the main reason Trump would not appeal would be because: a) He knows he'd lose again, & b) it would...

    Obituary: ... there they go !

    "McConnell said". Problem is, it doesn't redeem McConnell's impeachment vote, or McConnell's political party leadership in insuring Trump would go unpunished for what may be the worst crime any U.S. president has ever perpetrated in office.
