  1. I’m guessing “No Clue.”
  2. If you haven’t seen it already, I highly recommend seeing ‘13th’, a documentary about the inequities in our penal system. Very enlightening.
  3. From this morning’s NY Times Our founders charged us all with making this a more perfect union. John Lewis dedicated his life to that proposition and did it with the rarest combination of courage, grace, and dignity.
  4. Only if you’re into Russian bots, off the charts hypocrisy, and denial.
  5. That ship sailed a long time ago. Sports, professional and amateur alike, have been part of the political landscape since their inception. That will never change.
  6. The University of Facebook offers degrees in EVERY science known to mankind! Medicine is just a drop in the bucket.
  7. My principals are at the very CENTER of my dissent. Make it about republicans vs. democrats if you must, but I can assure you I am not. This is about so much more than that. Anyway, I’ve said too much for this forum. I’ll let it go at that.
  8. Rare strength of character and conviction to be sure. Something for all of us to aspire to. I wish him well.
  9. We are all friends with MAGA supporters; I understand that. And I won’t go as far as saying they all advocate all of the same aims as their political leaders. Regardless, when it comes to certain things, including the idea that a pandemic which disproportionately sickens and kills a constituency of an opposing ideology that they otherwise seek to silence at the polls by other means, then I think that leadership is fully on board. No, I don’t think your son wants to see people die. But I don’t think the leadership of his political party cares one way or the other. What else explains the lack of a unified national plan to combat this thing after nearly seven months IN SPITE of the best advice from our own experts otherwise? While the very thought of my having these thoughts might sicken you, the very thought that our MAGA friends aren’t front and center in condemning what we see occurring on a daily basis sickens me even more. I’m sure this post will get deleted and perhaps it should if it crossed a boundary. But I’m not apologizing for it. I hope you can understand that.
  10. If you or another mod feels the need to delete this, I will understand. But I have to say that, given the sheer demographics of which groups suffer most from this pandemic, I firmly believe that a certain political group thinks it is just fine with these outcomes.
  11. You’ve got that right. I’m doing research on behalf of those who hypothesize that there are a few, singular legislative events that took place decades ago that directly led to the kind of tribal intractability responsible for our reluctance to embrace unifying themes as a nation.
  12. I’d rather drink goat urine strained through Fat Bastard’s soiled underwear than that swill.
  13. Also hearing reports of oxygen shortages in this area as well. My heart goes out to these care givers and the sick people and their families they have to turn away. Fear porn, my ass.
  14. Hope you find it. You need it for your self of steam.
  15. The fact the can was never entered as evidence tells us all we need to know about whether it’s true or not.
  16. Would have been nice to have leadership capable of articulating what public health is all about, what our role is in maintaining it, and then demanding the sacrifice necessary to see it through. Americans have done this in the past. And we can do it again. But it starts at the top with a unifying vision.
  17. Why some people don’t understand this simple concept is beyond me. Lack of a disadvantage is an inherent advantage, which is a privilege. I guess people are too wrapped up in their “nobody ever gave me anything, I worked my ass off for everything I have” defensiveness to understand what a lack of an advantage means for other people on a day to day basis.
  18. According to his attorney, it wasn’t a beer can, it was a can for spitting tobacco into and it wasn’t found between his legs but in the vehicle door instead. How can Oliver or anyone else “allow”, or disallow for that matter, what cops can charge them with?
  19. What a bunch of crap. You can gather numerous statistics from various agencies about SARS- CoV-2 and Covid-19 DIRECTLY, without ever having to rely on any “controlled” news agency.
  20. Information is readily available for those who avail themselves to it. But willful ignorance is impossible to converse with.
