I don’t understand the twitter-verse.

NC governor puts a mandatory curfew in effect. Everyone has to be in their home between 10-5. Twitterers - mostly young crowd - championing this and suggesting he do more.

like really? Please take more of our freedoms away.

And spare me the pandemic - my fiancé is an emergency room nurse in Charlotte. The hospital is largely empty. Her shifts either gets cancelled or she’s told to come in later etc because of lack of activity. She pulls more hours a month working at an elective surgery center than at a fucking hospital.

99.9 survivability
80% of those who catch it show zero symptoms

But please for the love of god keep taking away our freedoms and controlling our lives.

fuck the government

The whole thing was jumped on and utilized for the sole purpose shifting the confidence of a successful administration into a fear tactic to make the masses paranoid and full of fear. It worked really well. The entire lifestyle and productive levels shifted to a complete reliance of government administration and reduced capability to produce an economic structure that could do anything but fail.

If you simply look at the virus and it’s actual effects on people’s health then it reveals an amazing truth. The hype is an exaggerations nd quite possibly not even as dangerous as the current results declare and that it could be even less so with the stories of erroneous tests and death causation.

Unbelievable, isn't it? The Ministry of Truth is here.

Just have to hope Rumble or other platforms can grow enough to matter. But Google and one political party are so in bed together it's going to be hard to overcome.

Chris Matthews: You’re a member of the judiciary, do you believe the president, right now, has been an agent of the Russians?

Rep Stalwell: "Yes, I, I think there’s more evidence—indiscernible interjection by Chris Matthews—I, I think all the arrows point in that direction and I have not seen a single piece of evidence that he’s not”

Thank you Mr Stalwell for punting that "innocent until proven guilty" nonsense out the proverbial window

The principle of 'innocent until proven guilty' is a legal concept which guarantees that the guilt of an accused person cannot be presumed. This lesson takes you through the origin, law, and meaning of this ancient tenet.

What is the Origin

The notion of innocent until proven guilty is a widely held point of view in many legal systems across the globe. In fact, research corroborates that the tenet was born in the late thirteenth century, was preserved in the universal jurisprudence of ancient times, and later survived in the early modern period. Finally, it was employed as an influential argument opposing torture from the sixteenth through the eighteenth centuries.
However, the theory officially entered United States law in the legal case Coffin vs. U.S. (1894). The Coffin case involved two defendants, Francis A. Coffin and Percival A. Coffin, who had been convicted of misapplication of funds and making false entries in their employer's bank records. The court's decision would influence the law as it pertains to the accused. It was during this particular case that the court established the justification for and rationalization of presumed innocence.

What is the Law

Even though the Constitution of the United States does not mention it explicitly, presumption of innocence is commonly sustained by the 5th, 6th, and 14th amendments. Consequently, it is a right that is so central to modern democracies that many have explicitly included it in their legal systems and constitutions. In fact, the Universal Declaration of Human Rights, Article 11, states that: 'Everyone charged with a penal offence has the right to be presumed innocent until proved guilty according to law in a public trial at which he has had all the guarantees necessary for his defense.'
