    If Mr. Trump hadn't imposed those travel restrictions we all would have had it by now

    And the whole thing would be over

    A look at Parler imposing and enforcing some rules on its platform, banning some people in the process. Nothing wrong with Parler having rules and enforcing its rules on its own platform, of course. Just curious to see how it all turns out.

    Fair warning. There is one photo here that if you laugh might make you not feel good about yourself.

    I see no reason to accord him any more civility and fairness than was accorded the current occupant.

    Why is that? Not sure how an attitude like that makes things better?

    What do they say in English -ā€œ two wrongs donā€™t make it right.

    Biden has said he will be a uniter and bridge the divide. I am willing to see. So far the only physical beat downs have only been conducted by Biden supporters.

    I only saw video here and it pretty clearly shows bidirectional beat downs.

    Nancy has no margin to work with.

    And she knows it.

    Wow. I wasn't aware of the other races. I knew it was going to be tight, but this tight?

    The biggest problem for the moderates is that they are the ones that pay for the extremes. AOC, Omar, Talib, Pelosi, Presley, et al are safe. They can be as out there as they want and they will win re-election over and over. Itā€™s the moderates that pay the price... I wouldnā€™t be durprised to see the Blue Dog Coalition shrink to under 15 members...

    Maybe it has to do with troop drawdowns from Iraq and Afghanistan?

    72 million votes is your business case for 72 million customers. How do you keep them between now and Jan 20th. How do you buy insurance for the GA Senate seats. Thatā€™s all you need to know.

    Now, carry on with the conspiracy theories.

    The short answer I can give you on my phone is ā€œbecause there are infinite points on a circleā€.

    If you want a longer explanation I can do that later.

    991 is coincidentally also the number of takes he had to shoot.

    I always thought those little bells that people wear were nice, although I'm not totally convinced they'd be as good as drowning out the screaming as people seem to think.

    That was a misinterpretation based on a disingenuous headline. He wants the vaccine, itā€™s the distribution plan he doesnā€™t like.

    Iā€™ve yet to find a really detailed description of his concerns to try to get to the bottom of it. Is it really about prioritization or is it about funding? Or something else? If he does file suit Iā€™ll at least get my answer.

    @taiwan_girl said in Shocking:

    I donā€™t think President Trump is racist. I think he looks out for himself above all others, and if you can help him, he will like you. If you canā€™t help him or he feels that you have somehow crossed him, then he wonā€™t like you. But I donā€™t think it has anything to do with race

    To be absolutely fair, there's nothing in the POTUS job description about having to care for people. He fulfills his contract but don't expect anything other than poor customer service.
    Nor is it written that he also has to seem like he gives a shit.

    Oh, bugger off.

    You don't gave a clue about how Trump treats people out of camera view. You don't know about flights he has paid for, tuition he has paid for or funerals he has paid for, because he usually doesn't talk about it and the media usually doesn't cover it.

    As for how Trump treats the general public, I think he does a pretty decent job. His viewpoint is usually economic, which does have its failings, but to say he doesn't about care us, is just wanker BS.

    @Axtremus said in Durham:

    How do we know if this so-called ā€œfamiliar sourceā€ is real and trustworthy?

    I have no idea, but you can ask Comey, McCabe and Steele.

    Perhaps they would have some insights as to where to get the lowdown on real and trustworthy.
