He said he had a mouthful of Lysol? That seems like overkill, I'd think a good scrubbing of the hands would cure what ails him. But if he said it, you gotta believe him. He's the judge of blackness in America.

Oh, he said that? All those words together? Good for him.

You're the testing guy and I appreciate your perspective. On the numbers....a couple questions. Covid deaths revealed to be approximately 100,000 in the US. There has been a lot of controversy over that figure, mostly because it's been reported that there is substantial financial incentive for providers to indicate cause or death as "Covid" even when underlying health issues were the primary cause of death using reasonable thought and common sense. One story from our family was about a man who chose to end medical treatment after a prolonged battle with cancer, who was at the end of his journey and coincidentally became infected. Cause of death was listed as Covid, the family was very upset but there was nothing to be done. Would you know if that's SOP for other viruses? A man at end stage pancreatic cancer becomes ill with the flu and dies, would cause ot death be listed as influenza or pancreatic cancer? The reason I ask is that I'm following Georgia and Florida. We're getting out quite a bit from reopening, whatever that means and I'm wondering when the SH8T hits the fan. When I hear that Disney, Universal and legowprld are opening, with no pushback from the feds, I begin to feel like I have been lied to. When I hear that sports teams can open things up, with maybe 100-200 on a field/rink/court closely interacting and flip-flopping bodily fluids regularly, yet houses of worship are advised to lockdown, l question what we are being told. When I see some high profile pols issuing directives then violating them, I question even more.

I can’t say how long I’ve believed what I’ve believed..probably since a few years after watching JFK. I recall being really drawn into the story, reading about it afterwards and finding the story compelling. A couple documentaries later, a couple news stories that fell flat and I’ve questioned just about everything from there. At one point, a large company I worked with had an expose done on them by a major network, including grainy undercover footage of a truck pulling up in front of an office and removing documents to be shredded. The insinuation was something nefarious was afoot. Turns out the shredding company showed up at noon, on a bright sunny day, and removed documents as part of a regularly scheduled procedure, accessed via the front door on a busy street with documents readily available. Btw, this was before ID theft was a major deal, before shredding went mainstream. Finally, I did some media training with a private company around the same time. They spoke at length about guerilla journalism, soundbite management and the business side of the media. I did two media interviews on a local level thereafter, and all went very well. Honest questions, my answers reasonably cut and delivered in context. I think that’s pretty rare with national stories, especially those that are divisive and controversial. The goal seems to be less to tell a truthful story, more with a social engineering and pure profit motive. Controversy sells.

Omg you’re the Donald Trump of PPP. I see it now.

When an employee is terminated at Planned Parenthood, we support the choice of the organization or no? I can't always remember the protocol.

"I'll drive but I need a dollar from everyone for gas". Cut into the late night Mighty money, but good times nonetheless.

Delightful. That's not all you said, but if you prefer to mix things up, that's ok. He was "convicted", you said, and your interpretation is that filing a motion to withdraw a guilty plea is the same as not filing a motion at all. The Flynn case is resolved, pending the resolution that comes once the case is finalized. When does he get out?

I think it was called a Bro back in the day. Jesus, did Biden say THAT today?

He is, and certainly this recent interaction doesn't help his case. I just hoped he had more to offer other than accusing a fine poster like @3rdnlng of misunderstanding a direct quote. Deep fake, editing etc. I think what Joe said was pretty clear. I also asked a while back about a comment he made where hurling insults was indicative of losing an argument. I was hoping maybe I misunderstood that as well, or maybe I attributed the post to the wrong poster. I am pretty sure he wrote that, and has gone about tossing insults and name calling, indicating lost arguments. No reply. Then again, to be fair, he was all over the Flynn case being over and there is nothing going on there at all. I think Flynn is learning a new trade at Leavenworth as we speak.

I thought about that, but is it better to ignore the comment and quietly enable the guy or jump online and claim someone else has misunderstood the spoken word? I think S3 believes the video is edited deceptively, because to suggest otherwise seems nonsensical.

This is interesting. Was the video a deep fake? Edited, cut and pasted? What he said seemed pretty straightforward. He was actually quite lucid this time around.

Delmar girl...518 connection...?

The video of the (*^*&%^$^#in the mask above doing the story about the recklessness of the crowd around him while his crew is maskless sort of illustrates the point. Much of what qualifies as reporting is simply an illusion, a story, a myth. When the curtain is pulled back, reality is often revealed. There can be multiple reasons for the illusion, from good old fashioned salesmanship, to well-intentioned but bias-influenced decision making to something much more sinister and manipulative. What strikes me is that in most other instances involving corporate America, people rightly identify the bull#### and call it out. When Wells Fargo manipulated customer accounts, outrage followed. When WaPo —-a commercial enterprise with its success/failure determined by forces other than some nebulous pursuit of “truth”—- reports for 4 years and misses on virtually every aspect of the Russia story, many people just shrug their shoulders. I’ve asked before, but given the outcome of the probe, was WaPo and it’s vaunted staff of reporters and editors with a horde of anonymous sources simply incompetent, or was it deliberate? Either way, it’s a very bad look. But, the entrenched narrative that a “FREE PRESS” is actually free continues to carry the day.

I heard this person on a satellite station, may have been Howard Stern. She got to talking about her decapitation gag and the fallout....what a sniveling dimwit. Broke down and cried over the mean people in the world. Just another poser. When she is called on this, expect more of the same.

Yeah, this is an odd encounter across the board. The man decides to confront her on the dog being off the leash...she gets upset and agitated and his next thought is to offer the little pup some treats...to get the dog to come over to him? Your plan is to lure the dog away from the woman...In Central Park? Are we suddenly supposed to assume everyone treats each other like they are in a small town in Iowa? She lost her *&^% for sure, but I'd be surprised to hear it's the first time she's identified with being a whackadoodle in her life. Very, very odd.

The "state" in all of it's various iterations does more to snuff out jobs, livelihoods and businesses than the most aggressive corporate raider ever could. I think it's awesome that they just cross out $100 and make it $1000, as if someone just made this ***** up on the fly.

My God. Even though BIden is a known liar, sexual abuser at worst, serial fondler of women and little girls at best, a guy with a history of making racist comments against minorities and a guy who sells our country out routinely, its very hard to watch this video. Thankfully, watching the BIden supporters line up behind JB to explain it all away makes it very entertaining. I especially thought it was entertaining to watch the View hosts nodded their heads thoughtfully at his answers, as if they were engaged in a real dialogue where the other party actually spoke in complete sentences.

Not really, but almost. I almost had grilled eggo waffles.

I think @Tiberius simply meant there were no Silver Alerts issued on Biden's behalf over the long weekend.

Yeah, this has flipped into the tyranny category. I have been at Home Depot, Lowes, the food store and the like and like clockwork, folks are buying such essentials as grills, paint, pavers and decking material. Limit is now 100 people or so, people ripping their masks off as soon as they clear the store exit. On the other hand, places of worship are targeted with no such allowances. I'm not a church goer, have not been for years, but something is wrong here.

This doesn’t seem at all arbitrary nor capricious.

Two thoughts. Change "white" to "black" and you are correctly identified as a bigot displaying incredibly short-sighted and culturally unacceptable ignorance. In fact, leaving it as you typed it you display incredible short-sightedness and ignorance that is culturally unacceptable, and reflects a bigotry reasonable people are working hard to move beyond. Also, if you're slow enough to believe the spin that 60,000,000+ and growing Trump supporters are uneducated, angry and Male, you're easily manipulated and just the type of simpleton that suicide vest makers, klansman and antifa warriors look for to spread the gospel of hate. Don't be a victim of your own limitations.

Too slow, Rhino. I duck ducked it. Interestingly, the headline from CBS News indicates “DURING A CONTENTIOUS INTERVIEW, BIDEN SAYS....”. They really love to enable this guy. On the other hand it will be refreshing for Transpy, Tibs and the gang to cast their vote for the arbiter of blackness. Let’s get that thing figured out once and for all!

Seriously? Now you’ve done it, I have to search the internet.
