And you'll promise to leave again.

Then why are the social media platforms moderating usage?

Remind me again what happens when the gun runs out of bullets?

If only Flynn didn't wear that fetching skirt and low-cut blouse, he would have avoided the unspoken act.

You are an intelligent and erudite poster and we are fortunate to have you here ™"

Be better to a disingenuous liar who's hoping for a civil war?

If it squawks like a duck.

You haven't really thought through this too much, have you?

Don't forget openly rooting for and abetting a civil war.

You're still a blithering moron. Show what I said about 5G, liar. Why are you still here after saying you'd leave?

You cannot image just how wrong you are

You'll see it when the realtors provide data. My agent in Hudson Valley says this is the busiest he's been in years will all the inbound calls from NYC and they still can't do live showings w/ clients. Other data shows that 40% of Manhattanites fled in April.

I'll throw shosh a bone. I think that he's mixing the concepts of innate human behavior. Humans are not wired to live in fear, as he stated. But we're wired to immediately respond to fear-induced stimuli. I think he got the science points mixed up on why the major news channels are pushing fear based programming, because that generates the flight or fight response in their viewers' minds and keeps them tuned in for a longer period. If the news wasn't sensationalized, the ratings would drop. \ You wouldn't believe the dangers I found out in their news segments, and I will tell you all about it in my next post.

That's now how Sweden is going about it. They're not sequestering the young and healthy, which is where the herd immunity is most effective. Keep the infirm and elderly isolated until there's the herd and the virus is weakened.

I think it's harder for a foreign organization to maintain the same control after the first indictment was handed down. You'd imagine a lot of strings were pulled and favors called to get the charges dropped. You can't take the risk by letting him keep doing his things after that, because he's not under the radar anymore. If he gets nailed again, he's not walking away. That's why a foreign agency would take him out as soon as a replacement was in place. This is why it's unlikely that he was protected by a foreign organization. It's possible that Mossad is sheltering Maxwell now, but I don't think they were the main benefactors.

It's possible, but Epstein became a huge liability to a foreign agency in 2010, and then highly toxic after Trump's election. I don't think he would have survived past Nov. 7, 2016 if this was Mossad. Too high of a risk to keep him alive.

I doubt it because Epstein stayed alive after 2010. After all the strings that were pulled after his Fed indictment, he became highly compromised. If it were Mossad, a replacement would have been groomed within a few years and Epstein would be dead by 2015. Definitely would have had an overseas accident after The Miami Herald piece came out.

Guess who repeated this half-truth on the news this morning, as they were discussing the story about Biden's "cavalier" line? Guess whose words got more airtime?

You're using data and lessons learned as of the end of May to judge February decisions when very little was known.

Realistically, the early decisions were based on the Feb & March experience.

I don't believe that the politicians act out of intentional malice. They follow their instincts and sometimes advice, to enact policy, but being natural narcissists of the highest order, it's impossible for them to admit a mistake. This is what you are seeing in the NYC metro area, where the early decisions which may have seemed right at the time, proved to be catastrophic and the leaders can't pivot fast enough to reverse course because that would mean admitting to major mistakes. The biggest problem I see in hindsight is fully following Italy's example in treatments, isolation and lockdowns. You'd figure Italy would be among the last countries you'd want to emulate, but because they got hit so hard so fast, it was universally seen as the model to follow, when it shouldn't have been. They should have followed the Washington State model instead. If you recall, at the time, the best theory of the Italian spread started in a single hospital in Bergamo, which then infected the entire North. That's why the precautions were taken to protect hospitals at all costs, because of the risk of spreading the infections from the hospitals to the rest of the population. In retrospect, that was a grave mistake because nursing homes were ill equipped to take the sick patients, and they became the prime centers of reinfections. The correct move should have been to transfer all those patients to Javitz or to the ship. Critical mistake, and Cuomo will face his reckoning over this decision.

I'll give them the benefit of trying to fight a totally unknown virus and following the process that you thought was proper based on what other countries were doing. In retrospect it could turn out that the first countries that got hit were wrong, and that set everyone on the wrong path. It started with healthcare experts downplaying the infection threat in January & February, followed by watching the Italian viral spread though the hospitals and putting all seriously infected cases on ventilators. I'm guessing that the desire to keep the hospitals as free of disease as possible was the far more fatal path to follow.

That ship sailed 50 years ago, and got more potent after that style won the highest job in the world.

I was referring to Obama upendng the automakers' bankruptcy proceedings by turning bankruptcy law on its head. Nobody in the press cared, because he did it for the "right" reasons. But people who care about standing laws being upheld, cared a lot and lost any hope for the Presidency. They were proven right by his blatant disregard for standing laws. And therein is the difference between Obama & Trump. People take Trump's words literally, even though he does not follow through on his verbal outbursts - case in point is the proclamation that he's the one who gets to decide when states open up. It's the opposite of what Obama did, which was not say anything about subverting laws, and then do what he wanted to do, knowing there was almost no pushback from a supplicant press.
