The Etc. Thread

Generally an unmoderated forum for discussion of pretty much any topic. The focus however, is usually politics.

Trump: “We had the safest border in the history of our country - or at least recorded history. I guess maybe a thousand years ago it was even better.”

REVEALED: Three Chinese spy balloons infiltrated the US during Trump administration but he NEVER shot them down or told the public - as Republicans call for Biden to resign for putting Americans at risk

Opps. FU, RepuQs.

:lol: Opps. FU, EmptyG, Joe Wilson and Dolt .45. BRD Sens weigh in:

Opps. FU, Tim Scott and Marsha, Marsha, Marsha.
... The GOP officials have not publicly commented on the revelation that such balloons were encountered during the Trump administration.
One more BRD Sen:
:lol: Opps. FU, Little Marco and Dolt .45.

Add more to the list:

Cruz says Chinese balloon should have been shot down sooner

Republicans Sidestep Questions On Chinese Balloons During Trump Years
The Pentagon says that balloons from China entered U.S. airspace at least three times under the Trump administration.


Opps. FU all.

My list so far, I'm sure there are more. Any RepuQ that criticizes Biden without criticizing TRE45QN in the same breath for the 3 Chinese balloons that he did NOT shoot down is a sleazy unpatriotic hypocrite. These include:
Little Marco (FL)
EmptyG (GA)
Rep Joe Wilson (SC)
Tim Scott (SC)
Marsha, Marsha, Marsha Blackburn (TN)
Teddy Cruz (TX)
Rep. Mike Turner (OH)
Tom Cotton (Ark)
Jim "Beavis" Jordan (OH)
And the lifelong cowardly "bone spurs" Chickenhawk in Chief, himself.

Shameful. China must be laughing.

TRE45QN: "JUST FAKE DISINFORMATION!”
Um, that double negative translates to TRUE.



Thanks, Jr!

No idea what thread to put this in. "Etc." seems to work

It sounds like the start of a Southern gothic horror thriller.

Auburn University scientists have been putting alligator DNA in catfish. It’s delicious, but with less chance for infection. Don’t worry, it won’t bite back.

MIT Technology Review recently highlighted the work of Rex Dunham, Baofeng Su and their colleagues at Auburn University, who have used genetic modification to reduce problems of disease in catfish farming.

The alligator gene, which Dunham’s research turned up as a potential answer, codes for a protein called cathelicidin. The antimicrobial protein is believed to help alligators avoid infection from wounds sustained when alligators fight and bite each other.
