Wasn't sure before, but now it is obvious you're trolling. That's not a person that was spray painted bronze before being lynched, it is a friggin' statue.

Personally, as am not in a high risk group, would not be one of the 1st to take the vaccine. But, if it proves effective & side effects prove to be minimal, would most likely eventually get it. But that has little to do with Bill Gates and more to do with undersanding that there's no way the vaccine will undergo the normal vetting protocols & the alpha test is rarely as good as the beta version & they could likely still plan improvements beyond that improving the efficacy & decreasing the side effects. Were my status be more high risk, would be willing to be way closer to the front of the line.

Wonder how much that would screw their electric grid? Can't even imagine how much devastation could be caused to 400 MILLION people living downstream. Agree, hope it doesn't fail.

Really can't see a single person here not hoping they come up with an effective vaccine. But several do take exception to the sentiment (which isn't yours) that nothing should fully reopen until a vaccine is available. There's predictions one could be ready by October, but they really don't know whether that prediction will bear out. We can't stay closed until there's a vaccine.

How is not calling police protecting people of color by not reporting instances of property damage unless they assume all instances of property damage are caused by people of color? Which is a rather racist sentiment for them to have.

You must have edited it after I'd already started to quote it. (Got delayed in finishing the response so it's very likely you edited it after the response was started.) So, drag on further it does? Bummer.

Definitely not an expert, but that seems to be the consensus opinion that Judge Sullivan wouldn't get enough judges interested in taking his side in an en banc hearing, so he's cutting his losses and leaving with a shred of his dignity left. Hoping that's the case. And it would make sense that General Flynn expects that as well as he hit the talk show circuit last and that would seem to be a foolish thing to do if this could still drag out further.

3,281 deaths & 2,249 deaths respectively. Which stinks; that's about 5,500 more deaths than anyone would like to see. Would sure hate to see how badly a state with 24,782 deaths must be run.

We'd be worried about you if you did get it. But, it was nearly genius.

Purely guessing that it would be Crenshaw or Haley, but preference would be Grenell.

No, it's ####ing pathetic. These ####### are so entrenched into their bunkers that they LITERALLY make 2nd graders back & forth jibes of "nunhtna," "uh-huh," "nuhntna," "uh-huh," ad infinitum seem downright well reasoned & adult. And FAR more productive.

Absolutely. And IIRC, as comparision NYC was topping out at ~900 deaths / day and ~24,000 positive tests. Going off memory there as NYS though it still shows totals on its Covid webpage now only shows data from the past week on its trendline. (Nice job, Andy. Certainly people will forget how bad things were in state now that they can't easily see the true daily peaks anymore. )

Doubt he'd shut the state down at this point, but a strong case could be made for increasing "social distancing" measures if the hospitalization rate (or worse, the death rate) goes up much more.

AND the slam poetry unit!?!?!?! Bringing out the full force of the man?!?!? That seems disproportionate. They only killed ONE person; the interpretive dance team should be able to get this done with some help from the social workers.

Well, this one MIGHT be real; the guy's a Republican after all. #### all of those sick bastages regardless of how they identify. They will be well identified in prison & probably won't like their new designations. The 2 most surprising/unbelievable (from a 2016 perspective) things we've learned since 45 came into office is that the former administration was actually spying on an American political campaign without cause / due process & that human trafficking is as extensive in this country as it is. Kind of like finding out there was a 3/4 mile ring marked with columns 30' wide and 15' deep built 4,500 years ago less than a mile from Stonehenge. Stuff only becomes visible when you look for it & someone actually has the courage to challenge the collective wisdom / common sense.

Was it past curfew or not? (Thought this occurred just after, if it happened before, yeah, walking in a public space seems to not cross the legal/illegal threshold.) Even if it were just after curfew would've been surprised to see him arrested for simply what had happened to that point.

Problem is, google analytics is on almost every site out there. There is no way to fully avoid the borg.

If you go to the CDC's Covid info page, there is a map of the US. Clicking any state on the map will take you to that state's health department and almost all have the link to their COVID info pages on their own homepage. https://www.cdc.gov/coronavirus/2019-ncov/cases-updates/cases-in-us.html

Well, that's because THESE protests (and apparently the associated riots) are simply citizens (and maybe non-citizens, who knows?) taking part in expressing their Constitutional rights protected by the 1st amendment to have their grievances against the government heard. Whereas those other gatherings were much smaller groups of people freely associating with like minded people who share a common religious background. Neither of which rise to the same level of Constitutionally protected 1st amendment rights. Silly rabbit, don't you know only some rights are actually rights? And Burgermeister Meisterburger DeBlasio is and should be the only arbiter of what the distinction between those rights are. Besides, joining a protest march is the only known method of vaccinating oneself (temporarily?) from the virus. It's science.

Well, were the FBI's investigation on the level then tipping off Page wouldn't be an issue, would it? (Besides the Q was for TBF.)

If the FBI weren't trying to set 45 up & were actually on the level about warning him about Russians trying to infiltrate his campaign and trying to protect the integrity of the election, wouldn't they have told him they had concerns that Page (at a minimum) might have been compromised by the Russians? Telling him that would've allowed him to either remove an apple that was soooo bad & such an imminent national threat that he had an entire year's worth of FISA warrants issued against him or possibly even lay a trap to set him & the Russians up. Which, if the FBI were really on the level, wouldn't that have been in our national interest? Funny, how nearly 3 years after those warrants which indicated Page was a threat to national security had expired that he still walks around unindicted. Any thoughts to why that might be?

Hoping, and expecting, this is simply another example of 45 pointing out something he could do that he doesn't ultimately end up doing - like sending soldiers in to quell riots or forcing governors to open their states back up - that ends up getting those that actually matter (like the governors & the retired generals) to stop taking pot shots at him. Were he to actually do it, Biden could actually win.

Gary, what a friggin' power tool you are. You deleted your thread because it was shown that 2 separate times you posted only part of 45's quote to totally change the meaning of what he said. He says all sorts of dumb stuff but you have to lie about what he says. You even lie about your own actions. What an absolute waste of protoplasm you are.

Following the Ray Nagin / Kathleen Blanco playbook. Neglected the fact that Blanco wasn't reelected.

Which any high school physics student can tell you is impossible at any temperature above absolute zero, so ... ?
