You realise "Director" has a rather specific meaning in TV Broadcasting:

I'm curious why you feel the need to keep embarrassing yourself?

Excellent arguments chaps, really good high IQ rebuttals 
You set the level of discourse.
We are just responding in kind.

The "source" is actually a CNN director, but please do keep your denial up. I knew the socialist deflector shields would be raised immediately
Are you complaining about media bias?It's the US and it's the way things are.
It's just one of the many things you have to accept over the next election cycle. You'll get your chance again soon.
Idiots seem to think that the result of an election lasts forever. They seem to not really understand how democracy works.
Sometimes you win - sometimes you lose. It's never the end of the world. There will always be another opportunity PROVIDED you are not such a fool that you vote in a latent dictator who promptly removes your democratic choice.

Played an integral part in (manipulating) the 2020 elections?
How did they do that?How did CNN "manipulate the news" above and beyond the actions of other partisan broadcast organisations in the US and to a degree that specifically warrants singling them out?
Or are you just angry because they didn't present things in a way that aligns with your personal bias?

Also no mention of court packing, something Biden was dead against but now he is in power is worth looking at.

Nancy "Good morning, Sunday morning" Pelosi was quite outspoken in her desire to pack the court, I'm sure that's pure coincidence though, Biden would definitely have come up with this scheme all on his own, whilst trying to remember which day it is.https://en-volve.com/2021/04/09/breaking-biden-ini...

Voter ID and giving refreshments to those queuing are the least of my concerns about Georgia's new restrictions.
Bigger concerns include :-
The state can replace elected officials if they don't like how they're operating.
It halves the time available to request an absentee ballot.
Places limits on when secure drop boxes can be used (was 24/7 last election, now it's the specified operating hours of the site as they have to be placed indoors, not outside).
Bans the mobile polling stations used in Fulton County (a Democrat area) last election.
Adds extra Saturday voting, but makes Sunday voting optional - many churches have vote drives where the congregation goes to vote after the service. Of course, these just happen to be mainly black (and Democrat) churches.
Shortens the time period for voting in runoffs, potentially removing any weekend voting.. which happens to be done by more Democrats than Republicans.
All of these are supposedly to prevent voter fraud, yet they've not been able to supply any evidence of fraud being carried out...
With fuss at various elections on how states run them (IIRC there was some hooha at the GBJr election?), why doesn't the US just have a standard set of rules for the presidential elections?Bigger concerns include :-

Pence must be amongst the most invisible/ineffective VP's in history.
Yes, he's one of the least impressive people I can recall in politics. It's an amazing situation he's ended up in - the villain amongst the MAGA crowd despite having spent the last 4 years with his head up trump's arse.LimSlip said:

You know that the relatives of a deceased person aren't the ones who determine the cause of death or complete the death certificate, right? Surely you're not that stupid?
It's a grant from the Federal Emergency Management Agency to assist with burial costs when burying relatives who died due to Covid. The same approach has been taken by the agency in the past after natural disasters.
Take it up with AOC, she was the one encouraging people to have the death certificates amended.

As for as I can see, the whole scheme is irrationally generous, with it being available to everyone irrespective of their financial position and even for illegal immigrants who.may never have contributed.
There's no harm in proportionate support for low income people affected by the virus (and Trump's poor handling of it). Throwing a $2bn pot at anybody who's had a Covid death and even retrospectively gerrymandering death certificates seems irrational to me, though.

And yet the LinkedIn profile is now gone... perhaps, just maybe, someone created a fake profile?
The profile was legit AFAICT. He showed up as a 3rd level contact for me, and the employment history looked sane. Also not surprising his profile has gone as he'll be in hot water with his bosses and possible getting hundreds of unwanted "contact request" messages!However, it's typical "mountain-out-of-molehill" stuff. This is a mid-level broadcast techie trying to impress a date. It's not senior management.

You are running out of straws to grasp at.... However I notice your complete silence on Matt Gaetz.

That's absolutely, categorically, nothing like what's been said.I don't know how people of your ideological ilk always seem to grasp onto these sorts of statements out-of-context, totally misrepresent them, then argue white is black that your self-evidently flawed interpretation. I can only conclude its an intentional thing designed to make discussion on the specifics of claims utterly unworkable by throwing out obvious non sequiturs then getting irrationally upset when people don't address them on their (complete lack of) merits and instead disregard them as obvious bunk.
