Good point

Indeed. I’m comfortable in that regard. And you?

The protestors should have distanced more. They were outside and the ones I watched the participants were masked. So not perfect to be sure. Better than inside with no masks. Data means something. Guesses don’t.

Show me data. That's what science believes in. If you are so sure of this (an I have already said that if protestors were out there unmasked it was dumb and should not have been done), then go look at infection rates before and after in the communities where there were protests. Either prove your point or don't.

As a scientist I believe in data. I haven't seen data that shows an uptick in Covid infection rates in cities where protests took place. Doesn't mean the data isn't there, just that I haven't seen it. So I would suggest if you want to make your point, find data to do so. Simply saying it must have caused an uptick is not science. Logically one would think so, but data proves it. Show me data. There is data on a pretty significant positive infection rate at the White House including you know who. Oh, and you mentioned lockdown. Outside of I think California in certain areas, at present I am not aware of any quarantines or absolute lock downs. Again, if that is in error feel free to correct me. At the initiation of the pandemic lockdowns were put in place, primarily to protect hospitals from being overrun. If infection rates continue to increase, states and communities will have to look critically at ICU space, bed availability and such. But right now the emphasis is on the mitigation strategies.

Couldn’t agree more

Oh, the fake Internet tough guy is back. I think I hear your Mommy calling. Perhaps it's nap time? As for the video, we don't nee this kind of crap in this country. We don't need a civil war sparked by the narcissistic impulses and overblown ego of the man-child that leaves office next month.

The difference between the protests and the Trump rallies were that, from the footage I saw, protestors were masked and Trump rallies weren’t. Both were outside, at least many of the Trump rallies, which helps. Of course, you had the Trump rally inside in Tulsa that appears to have triggered infection, and the meetings, etc. at the White House that caused infection.The protests were not as safe as desired, I heard commentators discuss that. I don’t know if there is data on the infection rates in communities with protests and if they increased post-protest. If you have data on that I’d be happy to review it. And I would not write off anyone to any reason where stupidity caused a higher risk to Covid than needed. I understand why people protested but from the perspective of Covid it was dumb and they should have found other ways to do so.

Because everyone should get vaccinated, otherwise they put themselves at jeopardy.

Not racist. Stupid, but not racist.

Well stated

Remind me - who hired Daboll?

I wanted the other Josh. Thank God I’m not Beane. The young man has the goods and should only get better with more experience.

Great call. But I hope Feliciano is OK.

None of this happened according to the people in charge. Enough is enough of these conspiracy theories.

The 2016 election was not rigged. The Democrats ran a significantly flawed candidate and she got beat.

No it doesn't lend itself to question. The people in charge of elections looked into it, and it was nothing. Let me repeat, nothing. The votes in Georgia have been counted three times now. My suggestion to you is to have faith in the electoral process, and quit looking down rabbit holes just because the man-child in the White House can't accept he lost?

A spokesperson for the Gwinnett County Government explained to Reuters via email what the video actually shows: “This is a Dominion technician producing a data report on the server and saving the report to a Dominion USB thumb drive and then using a laptop to filter requested information. The Dominion servers are not equipped with Excel and counties are not authorized to install any hardware or software on these systems.” This is yet another desperate attempt by the Trump people to claim something out of nothing. The tech for the company was transferring a report from one computer to another, had absolutely nothing to do with votes. The people in Georgia responsible for elections have completely debunked this, yet the guy apparently is getting death threats. Why are so many people beholden to a con man? What has happened to the ability to think?

Oh, you're a real tough guy. It'sclose to noon, better come out of your room and have Mommy make your lunch for you.

Ok boys, let’s matriculate the ball down the field!

So now we should ignore the words of the president. Did you do so with Obama? Will you do so with Biden?

So you knew Trump would abdicate responsibility then. Good for you to acknowledge that.

So you can just conjure up what would have happened in an administration that never administered? Interesting. In October 2016 did you conjure up that an American President, when faced with a national crisis, would say on national TV that he takes no responsibility? I almost have to laugh. If I had a nickel for every time Trump fans defend his stupidity by saying: Well, what about Hillary? I’d be rich.

Some claptrap about political opponents having the same thing happen to them, which had nothing to do with the topic at hand.

Again, you have no idea what would have happened with Clinton and: it does not matter. What matters is what the guy in the position to lead did. And he screwed up. It is apparent you don’t think personal responsibility matters. I think the lack of personal responsibility, the refusal of people to stand up for their actions, is one of the biggest ills in society today. And no one personifies it more that Trump. Couldn’t take responsibility for his Covid response, can’t take responsibility for losing.
