I'm watching the newest Ken Burns documentary and was surprised to learn that one of the primary reasons the Americans overthrew British rule was that they wanted to drive on the right side of the road, as the Bible stipulates.

There are many more examples, but I don't have all night. Republicans love to play the victim and they're clearly not above vandalizing their own property or injuring themselves. Please be skeptical of such reports!

By M$DNC shitlib logic, Russian teens are villains when they're drafted by Putin, who I do not support, for a Ukrainian invasion, which I do not support... but they're victims when they're drafted by Jeffrey Epstein, who I do not support, for adult/teen sex, which I do support.

this is an old joke that long predates the west wing, but it's still a good one
From "The West Wing":

There was a freshman democrat who came to Congress 50 years ago. He turned to a senior Democrat and said, "Where are the Republicans? I want to meet the enemy. The
senior Democrat said, "The Republicans aren't the enemy. They're the opposition. The Senate is the enemy."

How awful. This is outright health disinformation, lying to the American people. Not only is there massive evidence showing no link between vaccines & autism, there’s not even a plausible mechanism based on what we’ve learned about the genetics of autism, some environmental exposures in pregnancy
HEADS UP: CDC website now officially asserts that vaccines may cause autism.“Studies supporting a link have been ignored by health authorities.” Also says the “vaccines do not cause autism” header remains b/c of an agreement with Cassidy.

And the way they have phrased the issue is so disingenuous—not only did they flip the null hypothesis, but they also ignore the real, proven benefits of vaccines.
What’s so pernicious about this is that science works by testing a hypothesis (call it H1) vs the null hypothesis (H0). The burden of proof is on those asserting H1 as correct. This gets our standards of proof completely backwards. This is an attack on the very foundation of scientific epistemology.
