LOL.....yet the Quinnipiac poll is still holding miserably for him....AND in general both the left and the right agree that poll is skewed somewhat left....usually around 4 points. So a 38 would indicate a 34% approval. 

A CNN poll? Now that would be drastically skewed even more.....

I dont believe that is possible.....however when you respond to an ad they are notified via email. All you need to do is say I have one, email me and I will send you pics......Once they respond to your inquiry you can then send the pics....if they dont respond then either they really didnt want one or they already found one lol

Her credentials?  This is it:  Christina Szalinski is a freelance science writer who covers life sciences and health. She is based near Philadelphia.

Wow, that sure is impressive now isn't it.  She's a Freelance writer.  

And I tend to frown on writers of any sort, who make pejorative remarks about the Doctors they are writing about, IMMEDIATELY in the headline of the article?  

"Fringe Doctors" she wrote, "despite a lack of evidence".  

There's certainly NO bias on her part is there?  

 You have to excuse Rod, it was the words "scientific american" in the link.....That sealed the deal for him as everyone knows there has never been any gobbledy gook published in that particular rag

So the hypocrisy is simply dripping off this one.....

The left went and is still going bat shit crazy over the January 6th Capitol riot! Hearings, hardly a day it’s not in the press or some lefty Congress critter is before a camera talking about it more than 10 months later. Yet not ONE mention of the left wing attempted take over of the Interior Department building on Thursday. Climate activists stormed the building two days ago protesting Bumble’s oil pipeline policy not going far enough. The protests had been going on all week when activists stormed the building injuring one police officer, destroying things within the building with more than 50 arrested in the process. Not once has this been called an insurrection and it’s hard to find any mention of it in the press. Left wing hypocrisy! Absolutely!

Aint it funny how that works......

It continued: "Politicians do not take care of us. Presidents will break their promises, but Mother Earth has always given us what we need to thrive. We will not back down until our natural balance is restored."

The 50 who sat down there zipped locked themselves together so they had to be arrested to be removed. That's a far cry from attempting to have votes for the presidency be decertified and chanting "hang Mike Pence" along with the construction of gallows to do it all the while hunting for Nancy Pelosi and any other lawmaker they could get their hands on...
Od edit, the title of this thread is correct, this was a non insurrection unlike January 6th...

LOL....Damn that is some revisionist crap right there Rod.....They were there about a week total with over 600 arrests but mostly peaceful except for Thursday. Updated figures were 90+ arrests on Thursday with 1 police officer severely injured (hospitalized) and a couple dozen more with less severe injuries, thousands in damages etc.....but you want to paint it as a sit in? LOL

Patrick, do you realize you posted this at least a dozen times in the span of about 2 minutes?

The rest were arrested during protests on the streets. So the only revisionist crap hewre is what you read and regurgitate from some wingnut blog, radio station or other uncited source which is your usual level of credibility.
Have you ever seen the videos of what took place at the capitol on January 6th? Here's the mob going after Pence: 
https://www.cnn.com/videos/politics/2021/01/15/mike-pence-close-call-capitol-riot-foreman-vpx.cnn

I agree that The Hill reported it as benignly as possible lol

From Yahoo News: (definitely NOT known for a conservative slant lol)

"Multiple injuries were sustained by security personnel, and one officer has been transported to a nearby hospital," said Interior Department spokeswoman Melissa Schwartz."

"Journalist Andy Ngo, who covers Antifa, called the scene “reminiscent of Jan. 6.”

"Environmentalist protesters attempting to occupy the Department of the Interior were arrested after storming the building."

From the WAPO:

"A department spokesperson said security personnel sustained “multiple injuries,” and one officer was taken to a hospital"

Daily Mail UK:

"Demonstrators defaced the Andrew Jackson statue at the center of Lafayette Park across the street from the White House was defaced with the words 'Expect Us'"

"Nearly 80 people were arrested on the fifth day of the 'People vs. Fossil Fuels' protest. That brings the total arrested during the week to more than 600, organizers said."

"Three of those arrested also were charged with assault on a police officer."

From Newsweek:

"A number of protesters and police were harmed during the altercations. Specifically, the Post reported that one police officer was sent to the hospital as a result of injuries sustained during the Department of Interior occupation."

It would seem the article in The Hill left out quite a lot......The above certainly doesnt fit the false narrative of a "Sit In" LOL

LOL....what, you trying to make it a competition?

Bottom line is there are a lot more similarities than differences.....and you were the one trying to pass this one off as a  "peaceful sit-in" which given what really occurred is ridiculous.

Seems like a fairly consistent issue where the screen does not update when saving a post, I suspect it is browser related as not everyone has the issue. I currently use MS Edge and it doesnt happen with it. When you save a post it would probably be a good idea to refresh your screen as you will likely find that it was already saved and resubmitting it just creates multiple copies. I have seen it with another browser in the past myself....though I dont recall which one.

I have not submitted any articles so I cant offer any advice in that regard.......
