    Vaccinations.  And still take precautions while this is done.  Schools are having in person classes again, businesses are opening up.   You know this but you’d prefer to whine like a baby day after day after day with your doomsday nonsense.  Pipe down.

    It's ironic, and funny as hell the way that those who call others snowflakes cry about the dumbest stuff.  If it wasn't hypocritical it wouldn't be conservative is my new motto.

    As for the American Way of Life I find it curious the left speaks frequently about threats to "democracy" when it suits their purposes.  Democracy they say, we must protect it from those looking to threaten it.  But they never express concerns or speak of threats to our "freedoms" and "individual liberties".  Why is that?  After all, those are the core beliefs that laid the foundation for our nation almost 250 years ago.  The foundation of the republic, our legal system, the core principals expressed by various Amendments and law, the limitations placed on Government, the great documents that define it, the Declaration of independence, the Constitution, Lincoln's Gettysburg Address, and many others all speak to  liberty and freedom.  The undeniable rights of men and women. 

     

    But the left?  Never.  A basic defect in their thinking is their view of democracy.  Simply, the ability of the "majority" to dictate to the minority any and all things without regards for their rights and needs through whatever means are necessarily.  That's not democracy that's tyranny.  

    ...and the right thinks their religion of the minority should lead to legislation favoring them, because we're a "Christian nation".  I find it hilarious that your "basic defect" is EXACTLY what the majority whites did to the minority groups for 99% of this countries existence.  LOLZ!

    Future generations will mock our fear, mock our cowardice, mock our willingness to surrender our liberties int he face of a danger wherein over 99% of the afflicted recover. 

     

    They will judge us harshly for cowering at the feet of "experts". 

     

    And they'll be absolutely correct in doing so. 

    It's REALLY, REALLY, funny that those telling us about how history will judge us have zero knowledge of actual history.  The policy failures of Spanish flu in places like Philadelphia are widely documented.

    I look at in the inverse.  The point is not to stop businesses from outsourcing their jobs.  The point is for government to make domestic conditions more enticing for them to want to keep their production here in the first place.  If after doing that, a company still wants to relocate operations, they are free to do so.  And when/if they do, then government again steps in to make sure that company is not taking advantage of government created loop-holes to the benefit of the executives, etc.

    The problem with this is the corporations have 50 states competing for their jobs.  They basically hold them hostage until they get a deal where taxpayers subsidize their business.  If anybody thinks there is an easy solution, or this problem is being caused by "weak minded whiners" , then they need their head examined.

    I’m willing to do whatever I have to to feed my family.
     

    I spent summers pushing lawnmowers 70/80 hours a week for minimum wage and no OT and living like a pauper to pay for my own education. 
     

    I create jobs and work for a company that competes globally, including Mexico and India. 

     

    I do blame weak minded whiners for sitting around expecting any politician, who doesn’t care a whit about them, to hand you your life, standard of living and then b!tch and complain it’s too hard to compete, because the worlds a tough place.  
     

    There are plenty of jobs to go around, and they are being taken by people who immigrated here because they know it’s easy to eat lazy American kids lunch because they don’t particularly like to work too hard and think STEM is a waste of time. 
     

    this is what our future  sounds like 👎 


    save me government save me! Give me give me.  It’s not fair because Jeff Bezos and Mark Z have all the money. 
     

    and I know you keep wanting to talk about your sociopathic orange lunatic heart throb. But I could care less about him or your pandering binary politics. 

    Who besides government can stop American businesses from outsourcing your job and your company to places where they will have less costs, and higher profits.  You're a very passionate, but niave man.

    I own a brick and mortar and did my best to keep my employees employed and my bills paid.  Thankfully we did not fall into the "Sorry chief, suck it up and sit the %$#@ down and btw people don't get infected in the Home Depot...", though we had to scramble to create a new normal.  I had just hired a new employee---35 year old lady who had come off a bad employment situation and was prepped to be on the chopping block.  With a hubby, a mortgage and two children at home, she needed the job and it all worked out.  It was costly but in the end all was fine relative to what some of my friends went through.

     

    My son purchased a 2 family at the end of 2019.  Saved his money, worked hard, and as a family we put some significant time, effort and  money into improvements.  He followed NYS rental guidelines to a T, got a tenant and a short time later COVID hit.  I recall Governor Sausagemuff lecturing the landlords about being patient, about how the tenant had to be protected, and how "NY will take care of you later.".   Well, a year later many landlords are $#@!ed, some tenants have no fear of reprisal, and a year has been lost.  My son had screened candidates quite well and worked with his tenant when times got tight and so far, he's been able to meet his obligations.  You do have to wonder how long that lasts if lockdowns persist for an extended time.  

     

    If I was starting over, and with no concern for proximity to family, I can think of 7 states I'd choose over NY and that's just off the top of my head.   

     

    Here's hoping Florida, Texas and Mississippi made the right call when we look back 5 years from now.  

     

     

     

     

     

     

    What do you think the chances are he ordered it via text over frogs legs and a nice bubbly from wine country when breaking the rules he put in place for the serfs the day before?  

    People were getting a decent amount of money from unemployment, and businesses got free money.  There's no excuse that people shouldn't have paid some of their rent.  Do you think after this anyone will think twice about getting their $4 coffee at Starbucks, and saving their money just in case?  Hell no, they can't wait to get back out and buy that overpriced coffee.  Americans spend WAYYYY too much money on crap they don't need.  A good portion of that money goes right to China.

    Pelosi screeched at Trump asking for $2,000?

     

    Pelosi replied to Trumps tweet saying Let’s Do It!!

     

     

    Right after, the Dems drafted a bill with only the $2,000 stimulus in it and passed in the House mainly along partisan lines.

     

    https://www.washingtonpost.com/politics/2020/12/28/house-stimulus-checks/?_gl=1*95v6mf*_ga*d1JzMzFIcEpUY2UxaWRHUjFKXzV0YUs1c0ZUV05KQW1Uc253ME00VzByZzU0RF9idlp4bnNma0N5alVUSXpGQg..

     

    Maybe if you actually understood what happens, you may like the Dems.

     

    If you don’t believe me that is was a clean bill, you can read it yourself here: https://www.congress.gov/bill/116th-congress/house-bill/9051/text

     

    The bill died in the Senate when Mitch wouldn’t bring it up.

    He's sorry, but he's too proud to admit it.

    The entitled loser mentality in a nutshell.

    typical mindset... let me sit home, suck my thumb and complain until I get my handouts.
     

    This right here is THE problem. Elon Musk called it out very aptly. 

     

    Are you willing to work for less than a N. Korean or a Chinese worker?  name one American business that would be successful trying to undercut them??  While China is building cities they don't even need, we're giving the billionaires tax cuts, so they can create the so called jobs that aren't happening,  We are a consumerism economy.  We export $200B in consumer goods, and import $650B.  If you want plastic forks made in America, we can make them for triple the cost, while the rest of the world blows by us.  Maybe we can innovate some more electronics so Shenzhen can keep making them.  Sorry I'm facing the reality that you refuse to face.  #MAGGATS talking tough about China, while the trade deficit went from -$347B in 2016 to -$420B in 2019.  Blame the Democrat socialist tho.  Trumps new fantasy world he created for you ignores the FACTS.

    D.C. is not removing the fence around the Capitol — it’s being improved

    For a brief moment yesterday, it looked like the fence around the U.S. Capitol was coming down:

     

     

     

    But that thrill only lasted a few hours after it became clear that D.C. was making the fence stronger and not taking it down:

     

     

    LOL.  This is the equivalent of saying you're dumb to lock your doors after a home invasion.  Those 3 criminals that broke into your house, and had their way were "imaginary".  Psht!  The reason I don't follow Twitterz is because ANY idiot can say any stupid thing, and people will agree with them.  

  10. Innovation isn't going to bring back manufacturing.  Only rocket scientists can make rockets.  Anything that Americans can produce, another country can do it cheaper.  Shouldn't good ol capitalism, and the free market be working to make cheaper goods for consumers??  There's a massive flaw in the system, and there's no answer for it.  We can make it so we consume our own goods, but we'll never be able to make anything cheap enough to export it.  Should have stopped the greed train before saint Ronnie got it rolling.

    Or telling every one stye need to wear a mask to stop the spread of the virus then going out to get your hair done with no mask and saying that you have been set up ? 

     

    Is that the same kind of hypocrisy you mean ? Just asking .

    Yeah the people who have almost zero political power are to blame. If we all just keep voting for the 2 nearly identical mainstream political parties then the problems in our country will start to go away.

    I'm not going to disagree that the 2 party system has devolved into a disaster, but that's a ton of hyperbole to say they have almost zero power, and that both parties are nearly identical.  Not only do they have to compromise with the other party, but now they have to compromise WITHIN their own party as well.  The fact that no one will compromise makes that particularly difficult.  Centrist ideas that are popular with the people should literally FLY through Congress, but neither side is willing to give the other side a 'win'.  In fact, it's gone so far that now we are just reversing course every 2-4 years.

    Chyna and X-pac were virtually the same size.

     

    Who would have won the fight, EVERY TIME, if they fought for real?

     

    X-pac would murder Chyna EVERY single time.

     

    Catch my drift?

     

    Biological men should NEVER be on the same playing/fighting surface as biological women. Case closed. End of story.

     

    This doesn't take bi-partisan political stances to figure this out.

     

    Women's sports are pissed on enough. No need to involve men to take women's sports down even further.

    Hypothetical fake wrestling is your empirical evidence.  If the gap were as wide as you think it is a women would NEVER under ANY circumstance beat a trans athlete.  Women in any sport DO unquestionably lose to the top men in any sport.  There are literally thousands of men who ran faster than the fastest woman ever, and women's lower body strength isn't that far behind mens.  You don't see that kind of gap between women and trans athletes.

    Its not close lol.  That’s the specific reason why they separate genders in sports.

     

    Fighters are only measured on weight.  That aren’t breaking it down to a science.

    If they weigh the same, they fight.  And the the female transgender fighter is significantly stronger than a regular female.

    She’s broken two skulls for crying out loud.

     

    You don’t understand fighting....my god.

    Is Fox on hormone therapy?  Looked it up, she has been for 18 years. For what it's worth her record is 5-1, so a woman has already tko'd her.

    Durham Remains Special Counsel Overseeing Trump-Russia Probe

     

    U.S. Attorney John Durham will resign from his position as the top federal prosecutor in Connecticut but is remaining as a special counsel to oversee the Justice Department’s investigation into the origins of the Russia probe that shadowed Donald Trump’s presidency, Durham will resign from his post as U.S. attorney for Connecticut on Monday.

     

     

     

     

     

    https://www.usnews.com/news/politics/articles/2021-02-26/durham-remains-special-counsel-overseeing-trump-russia-probe

    Also, U.S. Attorney for the District of Delaware David C. Weiss was not asked to resign—given the federal investigation of the president’s son Hunter Biden.  Figured I'd add this in before people claim his dad is protecting him.  We all know that Trump DID indeed fire people to try to protect himself and family from investigations, and discussed firing special counsels on a daily basis.

    Trump validates their racism and xenophobia and that is worth everything to them. 

    You mean freedumb, and American values.  The far left DOES go too far, but that's mostly because the other side refuses to acknowledge ANYTHING.  As I've already said today, the far right and far left cause most of our problems.

    Just another wedge issue for the insecure GQP to spew hate.

    It really is, but a lot of independents are against it, too.  They seem to only take into consideration one side of the issue, and that's what fair in sports, without considering what's fair for both sides.  There's so much transphobia that all the 1776 patriots forget that all PEOPLE are created equal, which is NOT DISPUTABLE.  Everyone deserves the same rights.  Now I get that a man beating on a women in sports is wrong, but they aren't even attempting to think of ways to make it fair/level the playing field.  Realistically, there are NOT droves of trans males just lining up to dominate sports.  I'd say most of them are doing everything in their power to be MORE feminine if anything.  This issue is mostly fear mongering over the abomination that the bible describes.  Truth is the abomination is the way one human is treating another.  Fear what you don't understand mentality.

    Are you really trying to say a woman has the same strength as men if they are the same size/same mass?

    https://sportsscientists.com/2019/03/On Transgender athletes and performance advantages | The Science of Sport (sportsscientists.com)

     

    I think if the trans person is on hormone therapy it would be close.  This article delves into it, but somehow this guy states that, "The initial typical advantage in mass and strength that biological males enjoy over females is between 20% and 100%".  That's high, but the accepted number between elite male and female athletes is 10-15%.  It also states that within 12 months of hormone therapy there is a 5% loss.  Right now there's not a ton of data, but in the current climate there should be more data coming soon.
