Preparing. If you noticed, I did state that I assumed they would be monitoring the situation closely.

Williamsville school budget. Approved last week.

You think Cuomo is going to go against the teacher's union? That would shock me. Right now teachers are collecting from home. (Well, last check as the school year ends.) My niece (a teacher) took her daughter out of daycare and basically built a fort around their house. Funny part? Her SO works in the fire department and saw a ton of people on his days-on and yet no one was allowed near their house until two weeks ago. SMH

BLM is apparently impervious to COVID-19 But the Trump rally the next day? Higher numbers!

Good luck with that...

The FIRST thing I saw was it was all Trump's fault for clamping down on au pair visas. There were some day care numbers that came out today as part of the unemployment numbers, and that industry has been hit hard. They closed down many (most) of the day cares (one of my nephews never stopped going, but I know he's in the minority). I wonder if taxes go down as the need for new buildings goes down, bus drivers, cafeteria workers, aides, gym teachers, coaches, books, in-school nurses, etc. goes away?

I can see where some might think that, but that is not really true. There are some "posters" here with er, multiple personalities (accounts). These Sybil posters are not here to contribute, they are here to stir the pot in a very unconstructive manner. Sometimes, they hijack a thread with stupidity, name calling, and general drivel. You keep hitting someone and they are bound to react. And like with some unsportsmanlike calls on the field, it is the person who reacts, not the antagonizer, who gets the penalty. Better to simply ignore those antics.

Wow, this will have a lot of consequences. People will need to quit jobs to stay home with their children, people will have to hire a nanny to continue to work, people will home school their children (and take part in the home school socialization + sports), people will move to an area that offers in-person schooling... I could go on. Fairfax families have a choice for next school year: Two days on campus or full-time remote learning Fairfax County Public Schools, one of the country’s largest districts, is asking families to choose between 100 percent virtual learning or part-time in-person schooling next year, one of the first concrete plans for fall released by schools nationwide. The superintendent of the Northern Virginia district, which serves 189,000 students, announced the setup to parents in an email Wednesday morning, writing that all families will be able to choose between two enrollment options for the 2020-2021 school year. In the first, students will receive “virtual, interactive instruction” four days each week, and they will never set foot on campus. In the second, students will attend school for at least two “full days” of instruction inside school buildings and participate in independent study and work on the remaining days. </snip>

Part of a longer thread:

You're destroying their property!! Oh, the irony...

I agree. I have a fairly extensive ignore list. I am guessing it is actually 5 people though ... 2 goobers, and 3 (could only be 2) others with a buncha accounts. And no, this does not mean ignoring those on the "other side of the aisle." Quite the contrary. Constructive engagement is what promotes great dialog.

Devin Nunes called this "an important read" leading me to believe it is pretty spot-on. It shows just how determined #teamcoup was. If Stu Evans had stayed on, I wonder if it would have gone as far as it did? Stu Evans’ Lonely, Failed Quest to Save the FBI From Itself False accusations that the Trump campaign colluded with Russia have already cost some of the most senior officials at the FBI and the Department of Justice their reputations, their careers, or both. The widespread wrongdoing raises the question: Where were the honest lawmen and women? Was there no one willing to challenge superiors -- or even just colleagues -- gone rogue? There may have been at least one. As deputy assistant attorney general for the Office of Intelligence, Stuart Evans had the responsibility of vetting spy warrants before submitting them to the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Court. In the fall of 2016, the FBI presented Evans with an application for a warrant to capture the communications of volunteer Trump campaign foreign policy adviser Carter Page. The main justification for getting a wire on Page were allegations by former British spy Christopher Steele. Instead of credulously embracing the Steele dossier as so many others did, Evans demanded more information about Steele. He put up bureaucratic roadblocks and manned them stubbornly while asking the essential questions no one else seemed to care about. Evans came close to saving Justice and the FBI from themselves. But he made one mistake. The story of how that mistake allowed Evans to be outmaneuvered is a lesson in the limits of confronting bureaucracies – even if one is a study in integrity. </snip>

I've had a parler account for over a year, and did not realize that it had been that long since I never visited. The past week or so it almost seems like word went out to the right-side on twitter that something was up. Now, people can say that "the writing is on the wall" but the writing has been on the twiterr wall for several years now, and no mass move. Gab tried, but Gab became a sewer (as will happen with the freedom to allow people to speak their minds... bots show up in force). I hope parler can stay (relatively) sane, troll-free (they are trying, I've seen an uptick the last few days), and bot-free.

Yeah, I kinda figured that.

The will go over well.

I never, ever understood why anyone would want to watch "girls on trampolines." Still don't get it. ?‍♂️

It was promoting "girls on trampolines" that helped him out. ?‍♂️

@Deranged Rhino what do you make of this? And a few more...

I am certain they will watch it, but the "doubling" hype always needs to be looked at for the numbers. Going from 1 to 2 is doubling, and so is going from 1M to 2M. The devil is in the details.

Flynn must have some info... Filing doc

Gleeson knows best! Filing doc

They ain't goin' quietly, that's for sure:
