Exactly! I’m still waiting for LeBron James, Brett Favre, and other professional athletes to apologize to me for their athletic privilege. They were born with tremendous advantages I did not have and have reaped enormous awards - all because of who they were when they were born - bastards owe me! I spent years riding the bench in school.

I got you BillStime. No worries. Hope you had a great 4th! God Bless America brother!

BillStime and Tibs - love you guys as Americans. It’s happened throughout our history - Americans that backed the British, Democrats that backed slavery and Jim Crow laws, hell. I’ll even point out McCarthyism from a Republican, all the way to FDR putting Japanese into Camps. Sometimes it takes takes time to figure out reality from Fiction, right -vs- wrong. Until that time comes, rest be assured, there’s a group of Americans that believe in the American way. We got you until that time comes. Until the flag flies over our country without any kneeling and the pledge of allegiance is said from coast to coast - hold tight.

Very true, very true. I was just speaking to some friends pining for the good old days where you could agree to disagree. The sad part is our kids are growing up in a world of political discord. As my teenage son put it - “it’s all we know”.

This is golden - you’re blaming Trump for the Democrats protests and violence? Please do tell, I’d love to hear this story. Love how she uses he term “old white couple” in a completely derogatory tone. how would this play out if someone posted this at say an NRA rally on a street and a car was blocked that had a “young black couple”. Yep - that’s what I thought. Dems being Dems.

This is a genius plan to get justice for Black Americans BillStime - let them burn down cities and destroy businesses and property. Can’t wait to see what the future holds.

LB3 - this is exceptional! Just to add: - We need to change the name of the Buffalo Bills (Bill Cody killed Native Americans) - We should not celebrate the 4th of July - We should get rid of the flag, because America sux - We need to let absolutely anyone into this country that wants to come into this country (anyone = dreamers) - Companies should not lay people off, because, you know, the complete lock down of America is driving insane profits for most companies (See idiot Polancarz/New Era) - We need to completely defund the police force while simultaneously getting rid of the 2nd amendment and any weapons we may have to protect ourselves. I’m sure that I’ve missed a few, but all in all, pretty sane stuff. Not sure why most here don’t get it.

This cracks me up. Probably a worthwhile topic for the political forum. Just FYI - The PPP is not a magical money tree Don. At some point the money received runs out. With the complete lockdown of the country, the bills are now coming due.

Planes are used for much, much more than carrying and deploying munitions. Sorry - can't point you to any open source info so carry on...

You know the odd thing about this is that you’re poking fun and we actually do have invisible planes. You cannot see them with naked eye clearly nor with radar. Since I know your skeptical of news sources, I’ve pulled one close to your heart - CNN. I found this link for you which gives you a rudimentary understanding. Invisible technology Understand that this video is is from 2012.....8 years ago. We’ve come a long way. Carry on....

you are correct. https://apnews.com/63e84d7e8bc43607c284915555b8b6b4

Check out this thread on Mr. (judge?) Sullivan regarding the Flynn case. Starting to spread rapidly. If true - wow! https://mobile.twitter.com/Johnheretohelp/status/1261480070683688967

You’re a special kind of person Tibs, with the intellect of a pea. Putting everything else aside, you have been wholly advocating staying in lock down while at the same time pointing to massive unemployment numbers now!?!?

This is priceless!! It’s all about the show. Do as I say, not as I do.

I suspected you wouldn’t answer the question. Speaks volumes. Answer the question you get taken apart and exposed just like Qbaby did. I get it.

My fervent hope is that left wing alarmists are either out of work on unemployment (which we need to put a shelf life on) or have a business which they must file bankruptcy on. I believe when they are staring down the barrel, they will change their tune and will help advocate for opening the economy. Having said this, I’m sure Tibs/Q baby are teleworking and making good coin as are the rest of our friends on here pushing for a continued lockdown. Prove me wrong, but I doubt it. If you are unemployed and making much, much less than prior the lockdown, OR have a biz which is completely shut down with no revenue coming in, I’d honestly be very interested in your perspective on why we need to be in continued lockdown. Tibs/Q-baby - you makin’ money??

Thanks Fires. Tough to separate sports news and covid these days. Seems too tempting for some not to jump in with a political comment. PPP is the place for folks to debate and there are some good ones there.

Thats what I figured. This isn’t affecting you at all, let the others suffer. Keep us in lockdown forever. I’d bet you are not willing to part ways with your hard earned money to help out some business owners or folks on unemployment are you?? If so, let me know as I have a number of individuals that can use it. Put your money where your mouth is - if you feel continued lockdown is needed, start helping those in need. You crack me up - Lexus Liberal. Tibs - calling you out. Can’t or don’t want to answer my original question, eh?? Q-baby at least showed their cards.

Easy to say if you don't have a business or means to support yourself. Easy to say if you didn't have to call dozens of employees who have worked for you for years and say, sorry, I have to lay you off and we will never open again. Entire life savings have been poured into businesses and careers and have vanished. There are always risks. 300k deaths from automobile accidents in the US/year. Is it necessary that you drive to get an ice cream on Saturday, veer over the other side of the road and kill a family of 4. Every time you get into an automobile you take a risk and in many instances - an unnecessary risk. We've done enough isolating and social distancing and we can continue some of this, but WE MUST GET BACK TO WORK. Even if this is marginally worse than the flu, we cannot lock down an entire country for 3, 4, 5 months. I can almost guarantee you are not a biz owner, nor laid off. Probably home teleworking collecting a paycheck. I know you would like me to take a knee for the National Anthem and not wave the flag, but I'm proud of my country and I love the ideals we stand for. You can put the flag in your back pocket, but for me, l'll keep waving it and fighting for what it means. In summary - you can STFU.

Great point Shoshin. I didn't think about this until I just saw a WSJ article about it. McConnell is trying to insert language to afford some protection to businesses. https://www.wsj.com/articles/house-delays-return-to-capitol-amid-uncertainty-over-next-round-of-coronavirus-stimulus-11588091849

Sorry to hear MH. At least they haven't taken your guns yet and some turkey 5 shot works well for self defense.

This could be it Chef Jim, esp with elected officials not wanting blame for anything as it could mean their careers. I may be wrong, but I think by in large, its a political football for them - trump = bad, and anything he says they must be contrarian. I do know this, we need to open businesses. At this point, I am all for splitting the country into two - liberals/conservatives or making each state independent. I've owned/own a ton of business, paid millions of dollars in taxes and have hundreds of employees. I'm at wits end seeing what this is doing to employees and business owners alike.

Keep kicking the can down the road until: a) A large majority of the population is dependent upon the government for their survival b) Mail in ballots are required for the presidential election c) Small businesses are wiped out and Capitalism is snuffed out for good and we can usher in the new age of socialism

Come on B-man, the $1.7 Billion Obama gave to Iran was not a scandal. Iran is a good and decent country and we owed them.
