Were you being given a massage at the time by a very tall, blonde individual, a sudden realisation causing you to ejaculate "My God, you're a man!"?

But you ain't gonna do it in New Orleans. Governor closed all French Quarter bars as of this Friday and they will remain closed until Ash Wednesday.

Probably a good move?

@jon-nyc said in No Intelligence Briefing for Trump:

By the way, the White House clarified that they have made no such decision, and will leave his briefing up to the intelligence services.
My guess is he'll get one that is somewhat lite. If he even wants it.

My own private opinion is that, with the contrivance of Langley and the Joint Chiefs and State and the other alphabets, -- and possibly other heads of state -- that is all he got when he was in office. I think for his four years, decisions affecting our global security rested outside the presidency. I think the spooks in charge just hunkered down for the duration and did what was necessary.

Plus he would have been absurdly easy to fool.

I believe this because I can't imagine them doing anything else. This is my own idea and not gotten from anywhere beyond my fevered brain.

And of course, I could be entirely full of kaka.

Didn't see a single one and yes I'm bragging.

Seems really unlikely. Maybe it’s a publicity stunt.

From almost 2 years ago:

This story isn't about Amazon, however, it's about Chase not allowing WePay services to buy Covfefe.

I don’t have a firm opinion yet on this topic but when I saw the Chase we pay announcement I thought how chilling it may be to have Chase dictate how I can spend my money.

@loki said in AZ vaccine and previous infection not effective against new strain B.1.351:

I predict over time we will see that our slow authorization rate of vaccines is very questionable and a big contributor to excess deaths and harm to our economy.

I predict that too, but we know basically nothing about the South African variant when it comes to vaccine efficacy, and they had already started updating the vaccines back in January.

Vaccinating EVERY DAMN BODY needs to be the plan here. We need to win the race with mutations.

Just take a look at the data for the number of Covid infections currently in China. What an amazing job the Chinese government does of controlling what is elsewhere such a chaotic situation!

I would be very surprised if Facebook relies on Amazon platform for much of anything. Facebook operates its own server farms and data centers.

I was never a big fan of The Supremes, obviously putting me in the minority.

But, RIP, Ms. Wilson. You were a groundbreaker.

@horace said in Winston:

To what extent did Brady create his own dream team? And how did it all fit under the salary cap?

Brady demanded Gronk, Brown and Fournette. The Bucs were not a great team in the first half of the season, but got much better, especially the defense. Ariens also backed off of the No-risk-it, no-biscuit offense and added some pass routes that Tom used in New England. Specifically, deep crossing routes and some different check down routes. I don't know how it fit under the cap, especially long term.

Even as well as Tampa played in latter part of the season, the Saints were ahead of them in the playoff game by a touchdown in the third quarter and driving, when Cook fumbled a ball he was packing like a loaf of bread.

Even if he did owe the 750k he could zero it out in bankruptcy and have good credit again in no time.

Also, I doubt any broker is extending that much credit to people with small accounts. It's very likely the account can't pay, but the broker has to cover the loss.

Kinda like saying "....plays bad guitar", eh?

Wright news came out after. Plus he’s Ft Worth, one of the few Republican cities left in TX.

So what's the other vacant seat?

I see, there are two seats in LA unfilled. Letlow and Richmond. It will likely put the final tally up one for both.

Letlow's district is hugely Republican. Richmond represents New Orleans, typically very Democrat.

OTOH, Drew Brees is a Republican...Just sayin'...

OK, now that that is over let's go back to the NFL kneeling boycott

GA Secretary of State launches investigation of Trump call.

https://www.cnn.com/2021/02/08/politics/georgia-secretary-of-state-trump-investigation/index.html

A true statesman in every way. Moreover, an example of a respected and genuine conservative. A man of immense integrity. Not at all like the ersatz conservatives we see today throughout the world.

In a stunning coincidence, Smartmatic filed suit against Fox along with Bartilomo, Dobbs, and Pirro the day before they canceled Dobbs' show.

https://reason.com/2021/02/08/a-2-7-billion-defamation-lawsuit-says-fox-hosts-recklessly-implicated-smartmatic-in-a-conspiracy-to-steal-the-election/

Certainly a dick move, indicative of a relatively shameless person, but understandable from the perspective of someone who wants their little video broadcast to far, shadowy corners of the internet such as TNCR.
