Deek, missed this earlier. Congrats and God Bless your daughter and her family. Awesome news!

Why are chef hats white, Jim? White. Think about it vis a vis the food supply and sustenance. Who’s fooling who? While I’m at it, why are chicken fingers called fingers? This isn’t a racial question, I’m just pretty sure chickens don’t have fingers.

You should protest his behavior. Maybe get 50-100 of your friends, go to the city where he lives, burn down the local dunkin, toss some m80s at some locals, loot the local Walmart, target, flip some cars, stomp some others, and throw bricks and chunks of concrete at a couple elderly ladies if you can find some. If you can, destroy the small businesses some industrious individuals started. You know, keep it peaceful-ish. Just please, mask up, stop the spread because together we can do this.

I strive to be as direct as possible but can’t account for your inability to follow a topic through to conclusion. I thought the rallies were a mistake. There was precious little upside, and surely we knew the media would excoriate him and with Americans huddled in fear in their houses over a mysterious virus, a lot of downside. I think he counted on the common sense of the American people looking at the treatment of massive protests and nary a word of the dangers associated with them, people would see through the billshyt of a Fauc and his evolving tale of danger. I am glad that you have finally acknowledged that the protests were bad as it relates to Covid spread. That’s a start.

Plus I thought it was north of 80,000,000 who voted for Biden but maybe the Les Habitant crowd has some insider intel from young Trudeau.

The only thing I’m afraid of today is that you’re in the midst of a Transient Ischemic Attack. You seem confused and bewildered by the very reasonable approach I outlined back before you remembered to pretend to forget. Plus, I really think you’re the mob in this case.

No, I cannot. If you take a Tibs to Arthur Treacher’s Fish N Chips he eats for a day, likely spilling tartar sauce all over the place and making a general nuisance of himself. If you teach a Tibsy to fish, he eats for a lifetime/until he takes the hairdryer into the lake in an effort to be improve his time management skills. Reminder: Hook side goes in the water.

I’m comfortable with my previous reply. Interestingly, on the Today show this morning, a reporter mentioned that the prosecution is expected to rest this week. He then said something markedly different than what they have been reporting previously...that the prosecution in attempting to establish that drugs in GFs system were not the “only reason for his death”. Prior to today, the narrative was about knees, restricted airways and 9 minutes. I wondered what changed—do you have any feedback having watched the trial consistently?

You’re conflating a couple different posts, but that could be due to the language barrier that exists between our peoples. Here’s what I wrote just t’other day in a response to Tibsy. I know intellectually honesty is out of style these days, but it is what it is: ###### The question you don’t seem to want to answer is “guilty of what?”. I’ll try. I’m not splitting hairs with you here, I’m trying to ascertain what level of conviction that you would be comfortable with. The story sickens me and I have no desire to follow it in detail. I think Chauvin showed a depraved indifference to the well-being of a suspect in his custody. I think it’s beyond foolish to think that GF’s drug use could not have contributed to his death in that moment at that time, and that’s something a jury has to consider. I think we’ll hear from “experts” that yield different “expert results”. I’d think the manslaughter conviction is probably where it should end up from a legal perspective, and I think that’s why the prosecution included that count. I think the jury will convict on the murder charge because it’s a highlyemotional, highly charged, racially important trial and I’d be hard pressedto imagine anyone would want to deal with the scrutiny and threat to self that comes with the conviction on a lessercharge here. Chauvin is an easy defendant to despise. What part of this post damaged what precious little credibility I have left with you already, @Niagara Bill? Please be specific, because I’m not seeing it.

I already covered that, and due to COVID restrictions, no remedial course offerings can be provided at this time.

Tibsy’s “COVID For Dummies” has now been updated to reflect that the virus transmission is severely hampered by events deemed “spontaneous”. So, to recap.. 1. Close proximity is bad, unless it’s not; 2. Unnecessary travel and interaction with others spreads the virus, unless it doesn’t; 3. Animated dialogue in close contact contributes to the spread, unless deemed otherwise; 4. Spontaneous gatherings have a virus forcefield around them that prevents transmission; Conclusion: It is best to surprise Grandma with a visit ONLY while wearing a dirty Greenpeace T. Credit though, for acknowledging that the virus spread caused by the gatherings was bad. That’s a start.

What did she say? I just saw pictures. I think with all he’s got in his plate, they should drop these three letter monikers and just go with one. FBI = F, ATF = A, and since we’re talking Biden here, CIA would be “Prinzinpopper...”.

In reality, a truly evolved society should want the worst offenders among us to be given the consideration that which an innocent person should be given. It goes contrary to emotional logic but it’s true. It amazes me, but when you look at the “he’s guilty!” crowd in the bleachers, it’s the same “string em up” crowd you saw pre-civil rights. The target may be different, and at times much more reprehensible, but people love to leap before they look.

Those statements were made by the foremost authority in the world, a man with decades of service in his field. They also took place several months after China was already dealing with the virus. As the virus unfolded, turns out maybe his initial thoughts were correct. It seems to me that the top dog in the world would have been better prepared to address this topic and not look a hospital candy striper playing doctor. He speaks in absolutes, waffles on important issues like protests, and takes very little responsibility. The guy is a chump. Maybe he’s been in the game too long.

@Gene Frenkle says “flappers and jazz”.

I think if the libs in office, in the media, and at the CDC had been honest about the superspreader protest events we saw all last summer, we would have flattened the curve early on as projected and the death count would have been far, far less. The desire to protest on behalf of social issues is an important part of the fabric of our nation, but the silence was deafening as people ignored just about every guideline recommended by the CDC. On top of that, the hypocrisy of the approach lead many folks to question the true nature of the lockdown as the govt chose winners and losers.

I’m sure the average Georgian sits around just wondering what well-meaning non-Georgians worry about on their behalf, and the counsel they can offer. 🙄

Impossible. No way. Can’t happen. User error. Harmless oversight. Voter suppression. Incidental. Republicans. MOST SECURE ELECTION EVAH!

You’re onto something here. In spite of hundred of years of evidence that people are moved to carry themselves based on their own experiences, it’s easy to rile up the masses by segmenting into skin color, gender etc. Even well-intentioned people fall for it, so those running the game can’t really lose. It’s actually pandering of the highest order, and reveals how emotions can trump intellect and reason virtually every time.

“Can’t even say”? I don’t have any idea what this means, especially since I already said what I said, which is the opposite of not even saying which is what you said.

I’m not a scientist or a data analyst, but I’m pretty good at recognizing tendencies with respect to human behavior. I inquired about specific data—memos, files, notes, documents, anything—on the Georgia law you claim disenfranchises black voters in areas, and how that data buttresses your deeply held personal belief that Trump lies lead to where Georgia is today. You forwarded a press release from a political insider dealing with an audit of the 2020 election that I haven’t contested in thought, word, or deed. I don’t need a PhD in Biomechanicalethoquantamphysical Engineering to know that one of these things is not like the other. I learned that on Sesame Street.

It seems strange to me that you’re passionate enough to watch the trial and develop an opinion but would be comfortable with “anything”, but see racism if acquitted. Anyway, thanks.

What kind of friend would I be if I didn’t drop a little Brady Bunch logic on you now and again? The question you don’t seem to want to answer is “guilty of what?”. I’ll try. I’m not splitting hairs with you here, I’m trying to ascertain what level of conviction that you would be comfortable with. The story sickens me and I have no desire to follow it in detail.

There is a trend here. I’ll just take it on faith you don’t rely on hard, factual data when it doesn’t suit your position. It’s like that old expression, leap before you look.

I am not arguing fraud and the election. As I said yesterday, whatever my personal thoughts are on shenanigans, Biden is president. For whatever it’s worth, I’d think the notion of ‘fraud’ was never, ever going to be decided in the 60 days +/- after the election. If fraud, malfeasance or problems with election security is afoot—as suggested by both parties over the 5 years—a thorough forensic review of problem areas would be required to uncover irregularities. Hell, it took 60 days to crack the Jussie Smollette case. Some posters here are ready to tar and feather a congressman based on anonymous sources and the feds are apparently only on month six of an investigation. This is about the Georgia voting issue. My question is where is the data set that ties Georgia law to Trump lies and voter suppression? That’s your contention. There must be documentation, not just feelings, yes? In one post you mentioned the targeting of black voters, but given the nature of a class of folks being designated a “minority”, wouldn’t that affect non-minorities as well? I’m just looking for the smoking gun, like you did with COVID spread, virus hovering over social causes and Trump. Don’t tell me about the pregnancy, show me the baby!
