From what I have read the new mRNA vaccines will be effective against these new strains as well.

While I agree wholeheartedly, I am curious as to how you would apply that statement to the Confederate generals and the naming of many US military installations?

Me too, but it took America around four years to get rid of McCarthy-ism. The similarities between the support he continued to command in spite of all his blatant lies, insults, nonsense and scaremongering and what Trumps has been doing is quite uncanny, and he was only a senator.

I am busy re-watching the "World at War", and the above is exactly what went through my mind as I listened to Hitler's valet and secretary describe his last days in the bunker.

Do some research on a new app called 'Parler'. Sounds like just the ticket for you.

From an outsiders point of view :- it is a sad indictment of democracy in America in 2020 that businesses board up and fences are put up around the White House for the election.

Thanks for that Rob. Very interesting. I actually took a screen grab from a sequence of film. There was a camera man up there with them, and the sequence shows the paratroopers sliding down the wing very close to the camera.

Where is @Airtwardo when you need him. He probably organised this load.....

I was re-watching "The World At War" and at about 14:40 into the "Barbarossa" episode a sequence from which I took the attached screen shot was shown. I wonder if anyone can tell us more about this?

From CNN: " While many Americans were looking ahead to the final presidential debate earlier this week, President Donald Trump was signing an executive order the likes of which has never been seen in a democracy. It is an edict expected under a dictatorship, a banana republic or a military regime. And it appears to stifle the President's opponents within the government, posing a particular danger should it affect policymakers who are working tirelessly to fight the Covid-19 epidemic Under the order, which undermines the Pendleton Civil Service Reform Act — a law that came into effect in 1883 to ensure government employees were hired based on merit and protected from political retribution — an estimated 100,000 or more will see their jobs reclassified from "competitive service" to "excepted service." One really hopes that this election , while it may not prevent the above, is won by such a landslide by Biden, that he can quickly undo some of the damage that Trump has done, without being hamstrung by Congress. (Bolding mine)

Nor someone's crazy uncle.....!

You are losing your touch. Your trolling always used to be much more sophisticated than this.

Looking at the mugshots of these terrorists really helps one to understand the mentality of the morons who still support Trump.

Probably not - no mask.

Seems it is only the NYT magazine I am having trouble with.

I'd appreciate that, Wendy. I get the NYT daily morning headlines but I can't read them without subscribing.

Weird Al's take on the debate

Maybe she put some of that salve on her nose after picking it? Now that would really be controversial!

You remind me of Sarah Palin. There are around 54 nations in Africa.
