That comment as she walked away was sooooo telling. It is so sad that many of our presumably best "reporters" are so desperate to play gotcha with 1 side and accept what the other side says without asking any hard follow ups. It's good that they ask hard questions, but so many of them are desperately trying to get 45 and his press secretaries to do the 1 thing he never will because he'll never give them that soundbite and totally ignore asking questions that would help inform us. He's never going to say he was wrong on anything, but yet they keep trying to get him to say so. And they're apparently dumb enough to think the new press secretary wouldn't expect them to continue doing what they've done for nearly 4 years running. Wile E. Coyote only ever caught the Roadrunner 1 time & he was way too small to do anything yo him at that point. Apt metaphor as they continue to try on their ACME rollerskates and rocket kits.

1st off, thanks for all the info. It has been very helpful. 2 questions, if you'd be so kind. How do we get to herd immunity levels in any time frame significantly less than a full year+ if we continue to self quarrantine if with self quarantining for close to 2 months we're still around only 5% of the population having been exposed to this (2-6% testing positive for antibodies)? Do we not allow "non-essential" workers back to work before herd immunity is reached?

Does the NFL collectively bring in ~$20B? Thought they were closer to $10-12B. If it's the former, that projected revenue drop is ~15%. If it's the latter, it's more like 25-30%.

But if 88% of the tests come back positive, and 95% were asymptomatic, they may want to double check and make sure the boxes the kits came in don't say "made in China" on them. Those kind of results suggest a resampling of at least a portion of the prison population is in order.

They did. And for some unexplainable reason they changed "give it a cry" to "give in and cry."

Schiff will get those out extremely expeditiously. Just as soon as he can get Hades to freeze over, they are the absolute next item on the To Do list. Grennell releasing them is plausible. Schiff doing so ....

Well, opening likely means more COVID deaths, but how many other stress related deaths does it prevent? How many people won't end up starving because the food supply chain won't have completely broken down? And how many people won't end up victims of crimes committed out of desperation? There's a lot more angles/layers to this than people want to acknowledge. Wonder how many politicians that are wresting with these decisions are now questioning whether the graft they get in good times are worth it?

Chachi.

Fran Dreschler's character in anything.

Pretty sure pipe dreams are at the next window.

Can't put it on the seat next to you, but it now fits on the floor under the seat in front of your empty $39 seat.

Considering they never have more than 15,000 fans left in that stadium when the 2nd half starts and most miss most of the 1st Q anyhow, how big of an issue is it for them to limit the 2nd Q to that as well? This is, after all, the team that changed the seat colors from orange to something more muted to keep the absence of fans less noticable on TV.

Yeah. Companies have a tendency to write overly aggressive assignment agreements into their employment contracts knowing that the employee has the choice of agreeing to it or not bvb eing employed. The ones that give them the rights to ANYTHING the employee might create or invent while employed have always been high on my personal indignation list. Not sure how legal they (or a FIVE year post termination clause, for that matter) are, but not many employees have the resources to challenge them.

Not only that, but he also didn't know what his lawyers knew: that the FBI had evidence that he didn't lie to them and that he'd been offered immunity to testify before Congress. He also didn't have access to the original transcripts of his call with the ambassador nor his interview with the FBI agents. When the people you're paying to be your advocate are working harder for the prosecution than for you, you might be inclined to take that deal. Especially when you're being drained of your life savings and you don't 100% remember exactly what you said on the phone call, if they say that you got something wrong while under oath and if they can prove it, you've perjured yourself. Heck of a spot to be in. And if a 3 star general can get put through the wringer like that, imagine what they can do to an average citizen who happens to come into their sights.

The 1st 5 are in order; after that, no particular order to them: WKRP in Cincinnati Cheers SOAP The Bob Newhart Show Taxi Police Squad Arrested Development The Odd Couple The Dick Van ***** Show Newhart Hogan's Heros Barney Miller It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia The League My Name is Earl Green Acres News Radio Wings (through 1st 3-4 seasons, then it went downhill) Mary Tyler Moore Show M*A*S*H (through Winchester's 1st season) Get Smart Family Ties (prior to Courtney Cox season) Freaks & Geeks & haven't watched it since being a kid: Gilligan's Island. Married with Children

The bolded could be difficult when facilities that have the tests are still performing a triage on actually performing the tests even when somebody has a doctor's order to get the test performed. There are people here that are getting turned away from being tested after their doctor has decided they have a reasonable chance of having contracted it and are exhibiting multiple symptoms. ("We have to save the tests for the REALLY sick people" is what they were told when they were turned away & then told to voluntarily quarantine for 14 days.)

She'd better be writing them early in the AM, because if she waits until after that morning mimosa then there's no way anybody'll be able to read 'em.

Not sure if he still considers himself a lefty (probably does, but in more of the classical liberal vein), but in 2016 & earlier DR was a lefty. Hoping there is more to this story than what was on camera. But that is an extremely bad look for the cops (especially the fat 1 in the Yanks cap), and could see where that second guy (at minimum) will be getting a large sum of money from a jury. And could see at least 1 of the cops behind bars for a while. (Again, we only have a snippet of the story, but it looks bad on 1st blush. Hoping for the cop's (& our sake) that there was legit justification for their actions before the video started; because if there isn't he's (rightfully) screwed.

Wtf? Not going to click that one to avoid giving her additional views, but please anybody that did view it, please tell us somebody asked her to pick out a couple of family members (can't believe she's got any friends) that she's ok with killing themselves because of the despair of having no job for months and no way to put food on the table (even if they can scrounge money for it) after the supply chain for food breaks down a few months into this shutdown. That, and she's an order of magnitude or possibly 2 over the death rate & she's assuming an awfully big family or network of friends to have 1 or 2 people being 1-2% of their family/friends. Of course, that tweet doesn't give much reason to believe she has even a rudimentary understanding of math. But we digress.

Biden claiming that Reade never raised issues with supervisors a couple of days after his staff have reviewed the U of D records raises questions about what papers did people walk out with in their Sandy Berger underwear.

Agree with a difference for a lot of disaster relief funding vs pension bailouts, but the flood insurance program is so flawed that it makes hurricane and flood relief comparable to pension program mismanagement IMHO. By having premiums significantly lower than the probability of payout would indicate they should be, we basically subsidize mansions on the oceanfront to a large degree and we shouldn't, again IMHO.

Think we figured out where the CARES Act funding for the NEA ended up.

Wouldn't she need to start out with some modicum credibility in order for any credibility to be destroyed?

OK. Didn't Covington get a couple mil in legal fees from Flynn? Pretty sure he'd been better off buying lunches and paying the tuition bills for a year for a high end undergrad mock trial team to work his case rather than hiring the white shoes he did. Plus he'd have spent an order of magnitude less in legal fees. (And that's using kids that haven't even hit law school yet.)

Those are good. But the yacht one would've been better if a word were mispelled.
