I truly do not know what Sophies choices he faced but I definitely get your point that some kind of serious Executive Order should have been issued guided by intelligent, mature leadership from the President. The reality is that owing to the number of unintelligent, immature other Governors in the America the whole thing was doomed to fail from the start. Now we are paying the price. That price, by the way, is an average of 10 bucks for a six pack of decent beer. So you might get three months of brew for your two grand but someone else will need to bring the fajitas.

Hi Keith, I have yet to see any reason why local/state LEO need to wear camo to do their job. Jerry Baumchen

That's why it is so important to get the uniform right. It set's the tone.

Why are the British so condescending?

I'm sure the gun-rights advocates are creaming in their pants at the thought of being able to rise up against a tyrannical government kidnapping their own citizens. Surely they will stand up to this. Surely.

Sure there are. Jacinda Ardern, New Zealand Prime Minister. Wiped out COVID in her country completely. Andrew Cuomo, governor of New York. Reversed the rise of SARS-CoV-2 cases in his state within a month of taking action - despite New York being the hardest hit state in the country. And today has one of the lowest new-infection rates in the US. People we can learn from.

You were directly replying to a post that was commenting on and only commenting on the Trump breaching ethics rules by endorsing commercial products in the oval office. Yoink said Trump was breaching ethics rules and demeaning the office. You quoted that and said "That's what you get from the cancel culture". Why do you bother lying about this stuff when it's right there in black and white? Or maybe you've just forgotten the thread again. Seen that doctor yet?

How can you say such a thing??? Turtle is just bringing a moderate centrist point to the argument! Nope. Can't keep a straight face when typing that.

"If you ain't scared, you don't fully understand the situation." "We don't do this 'cause we're fearless, we LIKE being scared." "Blue Skies, Black Death!" This sport is supposed to be scary, that's part of why it's so much fun. Eat that shit up. The girl that draws those duck cartoons that Joe referenced above, I was one of her instructors. I think it was her level 6 or 7, we got to the loading area and she asked me, 'When does the fear go away?' I kind of chuckled, then called for everyone's attention. 'Ask them what you just asked me.' She did, and everyone immediately started laughing out loud. Not AT her, WITH her. Have yourself a laugh with all of us, and enjoy. That said, don't ever get complacent. This is a sport of attention to detail. Every detail, every time. Be alert, be attentive, be deliberate, be wise. Some day, you'll knowingly pass this on to someone else.
