I trust Tara Reade, a woman brave enough to tell the story of the perversion of Joe Biden and how he helped himself to her body, and how folks sent the message that only some women mattered. But that wasn’t the question, was it? I’m assuming you don’t blindly trust the media or you would have simply said so. You brought it up.

Really? You blindly trust the media? In virtual every instance, the goal of the media is to make money. They sell a product to a target audience, in this case "news", to generate sufficient interest to attract advertisers. Where else do you place unconditional trust? Amazon? Google? Thom McCann? GEICO? They're pimping a product, you should always question the agenda behind it.

I acknowledge there are people who feel that way, but it goes with political life and ambition. Your boy Biden has Tara Reade and you elected him leader. People analyze details and make determinations based on what they believe. As I said to Billy, you know this. Don’t be disingenuous just because you’re a Penn State fan. What on earth does Clooney have on you people!

It’s possible, he’s definitely got a hostile side and part of me doubts anyone could so blissfully unaware as to trot out George Clooney as the go to. Still, I like to have faith in people so I gave him the benefit of the doubt.

He’s just a man, Billy. Tighten your belt, recognize you saddled up on a bad dog and let’s move on. I don’t think you support Clooney’s abhorrent behavior, I think you just got yourself turned around in his eyes.

You’re like a starstruck teenager! Clooney did a real number on you young fella.

It says right in your link(s) that his name is spelled “Jim”. You must have some sort of mental block. I know about the allegations, silly. I know there is no resolution to be had, and that people lie, especially when money, power and politics is involved. You know it, too. Why be disingenuous? I understand politically why you want to ride the hot George Clooney hand. In your mind, you got a poster on the wall when you’re a kid, ER makes you tear up every now and again, and that gives the guy instant credibility so Clooney becomes your ride or die. https://www.google.com/amp/s/www.hindustantimes.com/hollywood/i-confided-in-george-clooney-about-sexual-harassment-and-he-had-me-blacklisted-former-co-star-alleges/story-aX0FB46qxJ9Ejc7cmPr5kN_amp.html Oh boy. Your boy Clooney is in it deep— Ties directly to the the Madame: https://www.thesun.co.uk/news/9701672/george-clooney-jeffrey-epstein-sex-act-ghislaine-maxwell/ Why you putting your faith in this guy? He’s just a guy making movies…like Harvey Weinstein.

Why do you keep spelling his name wrong? Is that a mental block? As for my reply, you sent me a link to a story about former teen heartthrob and apparent Ohio State Wrestling Room expert George Clooney and his project. I replied. Now, don’t you think a docudrama exposing Hollywood’s sordid underbelly from an insider is long overdue? It’s fascinating that a high profile megastar like former teen heartthrob ***** dem operative could be so close to guys like Harvey Weinstein—make movies with him—-and be blindsided by allegations of sexual misconduct. It’s got to be devastating to a guy like George Clooney to be so in the dark about that stuff. Huh, maybe after the guy in the shower story.

I bet you do. George Clooney is an individual who makes a substantial living portraying characters that never existed, or perhaps offering a creative interpretation of individuals past or present. He operates in the world of fantasy, selling stories to folks looking to be entertained for a multitude of reasons. I enjoyed his performance in Ocean’s 11, the obligatory sequels not so much. Generally speaking I find his movies to be substandard, and recall being extremely disappointed in having forked over money for a movie called Solaris, one of the worst I’ve ever seen. Anyway, color me unimpressed a notable liberal actor has decided to create a docudrama about a notable conservative politician. I’ll pass when it’s done, but that’s not all on Clooney—I skip most docudramas these days because I find them overtly manipulative. Any good filmmaker with an hour or two to tell a story, using psychology, story telling techniques, high production value and adequate resources should have you thoroughly convinced that whatever he wants you to think is the truth. I would make an exception if Cloons made a docudrama about the dark side of Hollywood, from the casting couch, to work for sex, the violation of innocents, predatory behavior of studio executives and stars….something like that. But, when a guy like Clooney bites the hand that feeds him, bad ***** can happen. Or, maybe he’s partaken and it’s a story he doesn’t want told. Any way, enjoy your Clooney flick. Sounds fascinating. 🙄

You’re saying he saw something, he said he didn’t, and it seems extraordinarily likely he’s telling the truth. Meanwhile, Biden’s fishhooking interns in an alley behind the White House and you can’t kneel before him fast enough!

Dick Cheney’s daughter and a Washington power broker who has used insider contacts to accumulate enormous wealth are the future of the progressive party and Billsy’s lib tour de force power couple. He’s an astute fella. You’ve developed a quirky perv vibe lately. What’s going on Tibsy?

Let me know. I have scheduled a delivery of dozens of eggs. I gotta fa sha hit Billsy, 6er, S3 and a few others first, but you are on the list. I’d just as soon conserve if you’re voting Florida4life.

Dr Brytney suggests otherwise. But she certainly sounds compassionate as she jabs the sick person in the throat as they struggle to breathe. Dr. Brytney must be a joy when she delivers the lung cancer news to a smoker. I scheduled my annual physical in April and am all set for mid-August. I like my doctor, am pretty healthy, and just have to remember to fit the question in in the 7 minutes he can afford to spend with me.

Dr Brytney should consider the relative difficulty in getting into a primary care physician, arriving 10 minutes before the scheduled time, and waiting 26 minutes for the doctor to get to see you. Maybe they just send everyone an email instead?

He’s an American bon vivant, Russian double agent, reality tv star, brand Ambassador for an international hotel chain, Ukrainian power broker and now extra secret doublespeaker running the old I-helped-deliver-the-vax-said-I-got-vaxxed-but-really-didn’t-vax-thumbs-up-emoji long game. When you take the time to write it down, it’s not all that farfetched.

Fair enough. I’ve settled on intentional now, but your thoughts makes sense as well.

What makes you say an intentional release is unlikely?

The Fauch rolls out the emotional teenager false indignation play here. We can hear what Paul is saying, and Fauch goes full Greta Thornburg with his reply. Settle down, Fauch, stick to the point, and tell the truth about WuHan funding.

Frankish, while I disagree with some of what you wrote, I'm coming around to your way of thinking. First, the disagreements: 1. Currently, the decision to vax or not vax is between an individual and his/her doctor. There is no "we" as in "we've heard from you"---those folks aren't talking to you. They don't care what you think and frankly, you lack skin in the game simply because the decision is deeply personal. Take care of you, and yours, and respect the rights of others. That's what's really cool. 2. The vaccine reluctance group and anti-vaxxers are two different groups, and should be acknowledged as such. 3. 'Six months in' and the declaration that fears are irrational and dispelled...yowza dude. Six months is a pimple on the ass of time, a sneeze, a whisper in the wind. Respectfully, you've been bamboozled if you think the vast majority of the hesitant and anti crowd is out there worried about a radical lefty plot. Some, yes, but most are just trying to get through life and make sense of it all. 4. "Start" with business owners? Seriously? If 50% of the customer base is vaxxed, the other 50% are not. Why make the local sammich shop the bully on the block? It simply ain't their job. The government sets the standard as near as I can tell, every business owner I have visited has made the correct decision for the business itself---wear a mask if you want, non-vaccinated folks should mask up, and onward we go. 5. I've not heard any whining at all from the vaccine reluctant crowd. I've heard concerns about the necessity, concerns about long term effects, but mostly, those folks just want to be left alone. Honor that request. Now, the common ground part. The simplest solution to the problem you (and some others here) are complaining about is Executive Action by Joe Biden. He controls just about everything in Washington these days, the media is on his side, and he could provide clarity and cover to business owners to act as you have outlined. You correctly noted that Team Trump was vaccinated, so the sentiment that supporters of Trump re following his lead is just plain silly. We know for certain that dem leadership sent mixed signals on the trustworthiness of the vaccine being developed, so a Biden decree resolves all that. It seems to me that Biden has really failed in leadership here. The vax is either voluntary or it isn't, and Biden seems to lack the nuts to push this agenda forward. Trump served up the vaccine on a platter, wtf did it get off the rails??? Why not just get to it?

Jim, you know what they say. To be a successful investor, by all means react emotionally to every dip, spike, drop and the prognostications of talking heads pro/anti/neutral investing. Hang on every word, that’s the path to enlightenment and happiness. CRAHP—just saw a elk know ln blue chipper I’m in just dipped .15 c per share. It’s a long term holding, bought it 4 mos ago. I gotta dump that pig now!

What I offered is a matter of public record. Trump’s critics certainly have fodder to focus upon, but he quite literally lead the campaign from “We have nothing for this virus” to delivery of a vaccine in an amazingly short period of time. The partnership between public/private enterprise was exceptionally impressive, and you don’t have to rock a MAGA hat and dance in the sun under a Trump tent to acknowledge that. I suppose if one is interested in carrying water for opponents like Cuomo, Harris and Biden, it’s possible to pretend their comments about vaccinating under a Trump admin had no impact on vaccine hesitancy. That’s happened here before, when old friends here wanted to pretend the tens of millions of vaccine hesitant liberals and Dems weren’t a thing. It’s bs, of course, but there’s plenty of that to go around. @Sundancer This is how you do it! Calm, rational analysis.

I find the Chef’s gibberish quite prehensible, but I’m open-minded. 45 spearheaded the charge to defeat the virus, while his opponents sowed seeds of doubt about the trustworthiness of the vaccine. Open your heart.

Well yeah Chef JimboyRdee. Our running tally thus far is: 1. The dems encouraged mass gatherings and pretended covid wouldn't spread. Most lib/dem vax-blasters simply nodded like Spicoli and thought ""Jyeah, makes sense". 2. The dems locked down the compliant, and chose those that stepped out of line to knock a few heads and kick a few doors in. 3. The dems started relaxing guidelines in the full-throated roar of the pandemic, with Cuomo specifically lifting travel rules for his voting base down 'round NYC way. The lib/dem vaxblasterz nodded in compliance. 4. The lib leadership set the table by trashing the vax as we see here. They branded the vax with a large Trump logo. That's on them, and of course, our resident vax-blasters were nodding along, complicit or worse still, not quite following all the moving parts. 5. Now, our current dear leaders--perfectly capable of vax by decree, are spreading the Gospel According to Biden as if nothing ever happened before. That, in turn, riles the Sleeping Dragon, or in this case, Roaring But Mostly Harmless Sleepy Kitten, suddenly springing into action to target those who disagree. It's a combination of rage, anger, fear, and a touch of wackiness involving thoughts like non-zealots being banished to islands for exposure to disease. The hyper-tolerant frequently talk a good game, but man do they get ugly fast. Well, I would be flattered if that was the case. It's nice just to be noticed sometimes.

"Reach harder bro" means what? Pretend you're speaking to someone who can't understand internet-pretend-tough-talk.

It's not at all shocking that vaxx/hez crosses racial, gender (if there is a thing) and political lines. Time to target the real problem--leaders who trashed the vaxx while in development, giving the general impression that DJT was mixing it up in the basement at Mara Lago. The guy flat out delivered in this regard, came down with the Wuflu and got vaxxed bigly to boot. Biden is really screwing the pooch here. He almost has to mandate compulsory vaccinations by decree, and get serious about missteps on the dem side of things. Call some people out. Cuomo. Harris. Hell I'd even forgive him if he called out General Douglas MacArthur this time around. Too much confusion here.
