Both sides definitely have a predilection to believe the people that don't think like they do are stupid. Pretty much always been that way. But a bigger problem IMHO is that many from the left believe that most everybody on the right are not just dumb but evil. And, since antifa started up, we're seeing people on the right start to consider that those on the left are evil. If we all start believing the other guys are evil, it becomes real easy for those in power to keep us fighting each other rather than realizing that we ALL are Americans (realizing not everybody on this board is, apologies to the handful of Canadians, Aussies, Euros, & other that are here), we all want about 90% of the same things and about 1/2 of that remaining 10% we aren't that far off on. Is it really worth hating someone that you disagree with a lousy 5% of the time? We need to keep focused on the fact that those of us who we disagree with aren't the enemy. (Not that you were suggesting otherwise.) A couple of real encouraging things about these protests is seeing protesters actually turning on the rioters in their midst & also seeing some cops & protesters finding common ground. That it took having people locked down for over 2 months before this sort of stuff broke out is also something.

"This media could not be played." Gray screen.

Don't know that for sure. If the woman on MSNBC is right about them having known and worked together at a restaurant for over a decade, this could be personal & might be more like Murder 1. Not sure how Minnesota's laws work, but if they were thinking they might be bringing charges that serious against the cop, that could explain the delay on arresting/ charging him. And, though an ordinary citizen would likely "get arrested ... on the spot" would they necessarily have been charged on the spot as well? Maybe one of our actual lawyers like @Koko78 could weigh in on that. Because if they wouldn't necessarily get charged right away, then "arresting" them really doesn't add anything to the eventual serving of justice. All 4 of these cops were fired. Not just put on leave, but actually fired. That says, IMHO, something additional is on its way.

NYC expected to enter Phase ONE on June 8.

5 regions now in Phase 2. The international experts said those 5 are good to advance.

Wouldn't get your Hope's up too high. There's a LOT of people in NY that truly do fear things are opening too quickly and are fine with slow walking this. Sadly.

Disagree. If you repeal it you give the Net Neutrality acolytes the cause they need to eventually succeed. Clarify the distinctions on what sort of editorial activities distinguish a platform from a publisher & then let those entities decide which side of the line they want to operate. They'll walk back to essentially where they were back in '16 or they'll get sued into oblivion. They're choice but the internet then remains open.

He's supposed to have a press conference at 1PM. That certainly will be covered.

Useful?

So, rather than LightBrites shutting down Boston, will it be Ms PacMan now?

How friggin' ironic. THIS is how people try to "Get Smart." People really are nucking futz.

Don't expect he's getting paid; definitely not for posting HERE. (Seriously, what kind of a sane person would pay a guy to post political info on a Buffalo Bill's submessage board dedicated to politics where the phrase posted far more often that any other is "you're an idiot?" Whoever pays Tibs is definitely not sane.) But should DR ever eventually get a book out of this, and he really should, will definitely get in line to buy it.

Awful? It hides better than 1/2 her face. That's a win for EVERYONE.

2 men say they're Jesus; one of them must be wrong.

Hey!

What in the name of all that's good & holy is that nonsense? Don't English majors have to take at least ONE ####ing history class?

Has he not returned to "normal" or had he not returned to his baseline? That dude had never been "normal."

Even if it was a joke and not another lefty pulling the Oprah 'you'd better keep this store open beyond regular business hours; don't you know who you're speaking with' card. The issue isn't that he was trying to get bumped to the front of the line. The issue was that she just asked/told everybody in Lansing to keep away from the rural areas that weren't having Covid issues but her and her husband were planning on doing EXACTLY what she said people shouldn't do. To paraphrase a lefty icon: It's the hypocrisy, stupid.

You might need to turn in your Buffalo Card if you keep pulling stunts like that. That's the cool part of "making" your own. Can put as much, or as little, caraway seeds and salt on as you like.

If you can't find kimmelweck rolls, you can make a reasonable substitute with a Kaiser roll, a very light glaze of egg white, caraway seeds, & sea salt. 20-30 seconds under the broiler & you sort of have a nice warm weck for the beef on weck. Especially if the horseradish is good, you won't really notice that the weck is faux.

You do realize that the Pegulas were already having planning studies conducted to determine how to replace Rich Stadium & upgrade/ renovate the MMArena that included significantly reducing the seating capacity of both venues to include very spacious premium seating down low between the BL's for hockey & between the 30's for football, right? The owners of all the major league teams have been looking at ways of ramping up the prices they can charge for high amenity seating before anyone ever thought about doing whatever they did to bats over there. Would not be surprised at all to see our teams' owners to tag onto this current call for distancing in public spaces & overstep the degree of "distancing" & exclusivity that gets built into the renovations/ replacements. Obviously, this crisis isn't going to end life (or lifestyles) as we know it (or them). But it seems unlikely that opportunists aren't going to push for modifications in the way things are done to put even more money in their pockets. Making it a far more exclusive, nicer, & pricier thing to attend a sporting event or concert in person while taking advantage of 4K HDTVs to make it essentially seem like you're at the show (minus the faint smell of ganja wafting through the air) while paying the equivalent of the price of a cheap seat seems a reasonable expectation from here. Ymmv.

There'll definitely be changes. Mass transit systems (that haven't already) upgraded disinfection of the carriers & sfaions/terminals will have to do so significantly. We will likely see a greater expansion of suburbs & even rural living as cities are where people will fear to live. It'll be interesting to see if sporting events & concerts end up with a huge shift in how tightly they squeeze people in vs try to get even larger PPV audiences. Whatever the Bills decide to do for their new home, we'll likely end up with one of the 1st stadiums (either a remodeled Rich/Ralph/NE or less likely a new one) built to the expectations of the new way of doing things for which many of the assumptions will turn out to have been wrong. (Kind of like how the designers of UB decided that a "riot proof" campus far from the city's population center was the way to build the new campus or how Pilot Field with the cool retro look to it has all the seats facing forward rather than leaning towards home plate.) So, the errors that get made on that project will be useful to show others what not to do on the following generation of new stadiums/ major remodels. There'll be a bunch of other changes too.

How blatant must Burr's actions have been to not get the investigation dropped immediately like the rest of the Senators that sold their stocks right before the market dove?

They STILL don't understand why 45 won.

Unfortunately, don't have a FB account, so can't see any comments or poll results. But that's a great idea to run the poll that way to get a feel for how your customers are looking at this.
