  1. Just waiting for that Mexican cheque to clear.
  2. He sent it all to Bannon to build a wall.
  3. Bullshit. GDP growth, Recession, Tesla bankruptcy among many others.
  4. I am happy you were able to get a shot John.
  5. The Daily Show putting it rather clearly.....
  6. If GM didn't build shit products this wouldn't have happened either.
  7. Former SEAL likely to face some consequences of this. “I would like to express to you just a cry for clemency, as you understand that my life now has been absolutely turned upside-down,” Newbold told ABC during a contrite 45-minute interview. “I am not a terrorist. I am not a traitor.” Retired Army Gen. General Raymond A. Thomas III, the former head of U.S. Special Operations Command, was not persuaded by Newbold’s mea culpa to ABC. “’I’m not a traitor.’ Yeah, you are. And you are a stain on your former profession,” Thomas tweeted on Wednesday.
  8. So basically proud patriots were being led into the Capitol by Antifa and they just blindly followed.
  9. How large is the ex-pat community there? My assistant quit a year or so ago to move there with her fiance. Works in the shipping industry.
  10. Change from: this is just a minor dust-up.
  11. And that they need to be vetted since they cannot be implicitly trusted not to be part of an armed insurrection.
  12. That is not what he said. he said that is a possible outcome. The other outcome is that the manufacturers deliver on time, a timeline they have agreed to themselves.
  13. Below picture of BLM protestors protecting a cop. The cops they accuse of bias, racism and violence against black people. I won't post the pictures of Trump supporters beating a cop to death. Trump supporters who claim to love the police, law & order and proclaim themselves patriots. That alone says enough.
  14. All the more reason to vaccinate those who are not retired and are of working age, so this can be minimized. Vaccinating the nursing home residents does nothing to change this. Currently only about 20% of COVID infections is people aged 60 and over. Yes, hospitalizations is on the older end, but it always is. Again, short term gain resulting in long term pain. I will ask you again, should the vaccine be used to give somebody above the average life expectancy extra years, or to prevent a 9 year old from 80 years of debilitating disease? Source Should we have a short-term view or a long-term view? Should this be based on what helps in the next election, or what helps society over the next century? I don't work in healthcare, but have immediate family that does. I also have parents and 1 more grand-parent who this would effect. They all see the reasoning, we have had good debates around this.
  15. Yes, caused by Republicans. And when it is time for republicans to take responsibility people like you throw your hands up and take none. 8 Years of a stated goal that Republicans will oppose anything the Obama Administration put forward, followed by 4 years of support for the most divisive president in (recent?) history. But now unity is important to you. 4 Years ago it was "fuck your feelings", "snowflakes", "safe space", "fuck PC", etc etc. But now it is "won't you think of the feelings of the 45 who identify as....". Get the fuck outa here.
  16. Post them and let's compare. Put your money where your mouth is.
  17. The right did have harsh words for BLM protests, including yourself. Where did those harsh tones go now? You are now asking for unity. Is that part of the "equal responsibility"?
  18. That would make everything an emergency and is a cheap cop-out. We have had 9 months to prepare for a vaccine roll-out. The fact it isn't going well is a disgrace. Never mind that rolling out mass-medication is something that really should already have an established framework. It isn't that unforeseen an "emergency".
  19. No it isn't. Physical distancing and solation has shown to prevent spread. In that time you can start vaccinating the young while you work your way up older. That isn't sacrificing the old, it is vaccinating those with the most at risk. Assuming long term impacts of COVID are severe. Should we use a vaccine to prevent an 89 year old from dying from COVID or should we use it to prevent a 9 year old from 80 years of debilitating effects of COVID?
  20. The 8 years of the Obama administration without your guns being taken away didn't give you a clue?
  21. When you have had 9 months to plan for an emergency, it really isn't an emergency anymore.
  22. Well, see, now he is concerned about his second dose. It is another classic example of caring only about oneself.
  23. But increasing the risk of long term effects and long term strains on the healthcare system by increasing the number of young people who will be exposed. Classic short term-gain for long term pain.
  24. Which is why vaccinating old people first may not be the best strategy. Plays well politically and is easy to explain, but not sure it is necessarily sound policy.
