      Yes we do. And it’s why he’s trying so hard.

        I don’t like your blankets anymore. Will you take these back?

          I will. Thankfully smallpox isn’t transmitted by blankets, so thanks for the free blankets. :)

            Well that’s not exactly correct as it can be spread by bedding it just depends how long since the infected person occupied that bedding. If the blankets have not been washed and they’ve been stored out of direct sunlight. The disease is spread by bodily fluids usually most virulent are the sores. However if it’s been greater than 24 hours and the blankets are dry then they should be safe.

            If your username is a reference to Fort Pitt, the blankets were likely never used as a bio weapon to begin with. If they had been previously used by people who had smallpox the infection would have been an old one. Speaking of old infections some think it was one of the oldest diseases in human history.

              Indeed. You could find one of the few posts I’ve submitted that says similar info with citations.

    Did he call for a weapons embargo on israel or is he “trying to appeal to Netanyahu’s good side”?

      I have not listened to his DNC speach, but back in january he introduced a resolution that would have invoked the legal requirement that US assistance not be used to commit human rights violations. It failed 72-11.

      Back in April, he spoke in the senate opposing the $8.9 billion offensive military aid to Israel; after having introduced amendments to cut those provisions out. (If you read 1 link from this post make it this one).

      As early as October 11, he was calling for the US to force Israeli restraint, and explicitly calling Israel’s responce a violation of international law

      On October 25, he demanded information on how Israel was going to use the first aid package before it went to a vote in the senate, which was formally sent to Biden November 1.

      At this point I stopped going through his press releases, because at this point, he just sounds like a Cassandra.
