  1. It seems logical that once you get beyond the kid who murdered the students, you ride hard after everybody.
  2. Real nice. I was out messing around with a single action prop gun telling people not to worry because “my boy Duke told me how all this works”. I coulda shot my eye out!
  3. We fundamentally agree on the govt staying out of the mandate business, but it seems you’re comfortable with govt/cdc scripting this all out by withholding pertinent information that folks find important. Where does that ever work? At any point in time, half the country doesn’t trust the admin and folks in charge. It’s only been a year or so since the oppo party suggested vaccinations developed under the admin at that best not be trusted. It seems like that message point resonated with millions of people. When that party took over, the narrative changed to “trust us”, and of course, the response has reflected the original messaging may have had consequences unintended when the COVID vax was treated as political football. Bottom line, people simply don’t trust leaders blindly, and when they with critical and logical information in national dialogue, they wonder what else they are being lied to about.
  4. True according to who(m)? The site owners? A consensus of individuals? You? Me? Kamala Harris? Mark Zuckerberg?
  5. Not sure if it’s in this clip, but Baldwin says he feels no guilt over her death. What human being wouldn’t feel some sense of guilt for this occurrence, live round inadvertently on set or not? It’s the way most decent people are wired. I also wonder how long it is before the deceased lady’s husband starts looking at this professionally managed spin campaign about guns rising up against humanity and thinks “WTF, Alec? It was your movie set where this all happened.”
  6. And, of course, juveniles are responsible for all sorts of violent crimes resulting in injury or death to others. I’m not interested in being a victim of a criminal using a gun, but being stuck with a knife wouldn’t feel like a win for me either.
  7. It’s good to have alternatives, different points of view, wouldn’t you agree?
  8. Anything and everything pertinent to his defense. He saw what happened with Mike Flynn, and much has been made of the fact that the American system of justice is corrupt. Why would you care? Isn’t it better to get anything NOT related to national security be open to purview by the public without going through the hyper-partisan screening?
  9. I stopped questioning young, rich, successful and stupid in congruence after OJ. 🤫
  10. The Smollette saga is evidence of the evolution of American politics and social matters. Wealthy and high profile man engages in criminal activity and is let off with little more than nod and a wink, no need for contrition or statement to all those he hurt. His powerful friends close ranks around him, and that’s that. It’s Kennedyesque, the only major difference is skin tone. Unfortunately for Smollette, unlike the scandals around the liberal lion and his clan, there are cameras everywhere these days.
  11. I’m a work in progress, but @Buffalo Timmy has mounted a strong, persistent defense against your scurrilous and repeated attempts to take it to the gutter. He’s up handily on the scorecard.
  12. I give you credit Buffalo T. @Sundancer has chosen to go full d’bag of late and you’ve done an admirable of ignoring that portion of his posts.
  13. Force people to have shots to save lives, but don't force women to save lives by having babies? My issue with abortion is like that of many people--sometime, early on in a pregnancy, a person decides to terminate the pregnancy and does so outside the purview of politics, opinions and religion as they see fit. What constitutes 'early' to me is probably up to around 3 months, though I understand people have different opinions. The argument that anyone is making anyone have a baby seems sort of silly to me. That said, your argument above is as extreme as any pro-lifer's view on abortion that you'll ever encounter.
  14. Know Abortion, No Life, No Abortion...Know life? Interesting Tibsy, you stumbled across that ever-elusive nut.
  15. I attempted to discuss these Faucian moments with a poster who was a big Fauci supporter last year. The great savior Fauci is full of ideas and thoughts about just about everything, but he consistently came up with alligator arms last year on protester’s violating every protocol in place at the time. He would not speak forcefully on the actions of people clearly spreading the disease through close personal contact, which, of course, gives the impression that maybe things weren’t so bad at all. Now this horsecockery. The daily death count and infection rate shows no sign of slowing down, this ####### blathers on like a dysfunctional robot and when given the opportunity to say “As you know, I’m the science guy and as surely as night follows day, the situation at the border will result in spread of the virus, serious injury and death to perhaps tens of thousands of people.”. Instead we get “Don’t look there, it’s hard for you to understand as a lay person, but we science people know it’s different.”. Fauci is responsible for so much mistrust, misinformation and the deaths of thousands. More special rules for the compliant.
  16. I'm not arguing. I spent virtually no time on the Q portion of this board, have no idea what is at the core of the Q phenomenon--you mentioned Satanic rites and baby blood, the most I ever heard was that powerful individuals in business and govt were abusing people/children and covering for each other. I generally defer to that which seems most logical usually is...and it seemed highly unlikely to me there was a secret cabal of political human traffikers. If, as you suggest, the argument was that Hillary Clinton drank babies blood, I agree completely that it is unhinged thinking. As for your comparison that Trump and his campaign slogans equal the $40m/3 year/Kick The Doors in/Take No Prisoners Russia tribunal, well, I can only say you're naive and no friend to the democratic process as I see it. It's McCarthyism 2.0. I'd compare "Lock Her Up" by Team Trump and "Trump's A Racist" and "His Supporters are Deplorable" on the Clinton side and acknowledge they are two sides of the same ugly coin. Unreasonable at times...though let's not pretend that Clinton's actions weren't criminal. Comey unilaterally decided to disregard the conduct for reasons known only to him. In that regard, "LOCK HER UP" was a brilliant tactic, based on fact and the perception that the rich and powerful get away with things the rest of us do not. Virtually everyone agrees on that, across the board, bar none, mostly because it's true.
  17. I saw it more as "Let's Recycle Joseph McCarthy's Red Scare Approach to Politics And Remove a President From Office and ^%$# the millions of citizens who voted for him because the millions of people who voted for our guy don't give a ^%$# how we get him out of office" v "Let's Capitalize on the Rampant Distrust of the Political Process By Creating a Story About Politics and Trafficking" scenario. Both had their true believers, but the number of folks in the "Yup, Trump must be a Roosky" tribe dwarfed the other in numbers. But, I certainly can understand you minimizing the assault on the democratic process (the first one, where we know the perpetrators and the abject failure of the attempt, not the second one, ironically being run by the same people who ran the first one) given the perspective you shared today. As I said, we all have our sacred cows.
  18. Maybe I got confused when you mentioned you were deserving of an apology from a person no longer here. This isn't a contest, of course, but I thought the most preposterous theory of all was Trump being a Russian secret agent. Sure, there was the obvious fingerprints of a politically motivated committee investigations like Russia/Ukraine/Flynndoctrination and now 1/6, but what made it so preposterous was having the highest ranking democratic politicians running the game. For the politically naive, I guess I can understand absolute belief in Biden, Pelosi et al, but geesh, come on. DR, of course, called that debacle very early on, and there was a whole buncha numbnuttery here talking up how Trump was going down, and how crazy DR was not to see it. He didn't, and if I recall correctly, you said you didn't buy that story from the get go. Good for you. Interestingly, while I recognized the crazy insinuation made, and Trump's status as a beloved media figure up until the escalator that took him to Republican politics, I really assumed they must have some serious, serious goods on Trump to even float the treason bubble, and never would have anticipated an absolute skunking of Team Treason and Mueller babbling like a Biden in a hearing. Oh well, Frankish, we all have our sacred cows of indignation.
  19. Et tu, Billy? When do you guys put away the yearbook and get on with your lives? We have Frankish lamenting the lack of emotional reparations from a person no longer here, the board's resident bottom feeder making wild and unsubstantiated accusations that the long gone postar has mysteriously reanimated as an unspecified poster, and SC3 making unsubstantiated accusations that I'm Q and perhaps JFK the second as well. Maybe you're right--maybe DR is eating cheetos in the basement of his new home, but if he is, he most certainly is not alone. There is clearly plenty of systemic crazy to go around here.
  20. There are many, many, many vaccinated individuals that are ill and contribute to the spread. This is not in dispute. Oh, and the unvaccinated that cross the southern border and subsequently transferred far and wide across the country obviously contribute to that problem. As did the tens of thousands of unvaccinated protestors last year when the vast majority of the country was locking down. This, too is obvious. We seem to have reached a tipping point under your boy Biden’s watch. It seemed almost impossible to $&@$ it up given the development of the vaccine(s) but kudos to you and yours for finding the guy that could. Well done Tibs.
  21. Borders with no restrictions. People transported from southern states across the country regardless of vax/COVID status by the thousands. Juxtaposed with an image of Tibsy, screaming something unintelligible about virus spread, because he’s double masked behind a plexiglass shield at the local Walmart after finding his favorite eggnog is out of stock.
  22. He can start by working through the quagmire of state and federal regulations that limit, prohibit and exclude the solution he is proposing. Or, he can advocate the appropriate regulatory agencies direct health insurance companies decline treatment and/or apply surcharges. Let’s call it a federal or state “mandate”.
  23. I think even Q would acknowledge that a selfie on my iPhone of JFK Jr wouldn't be a selfie at all, whether it be from before or after his passing. Unless, of course, they got to you and you think I'm JFK Jr. I am not, unless, of course, they got to him--or me--first. This means, obviously, that if I'm Q, and I'm me, I'm JFK Jr., and JFK Jr is Q. I suppose this would be poetic justice, but it begs the question "Where's all the ladies at?".
