If history repeats itself that woman has a life long history of significant mental health issues and these people always love fringe ideas, from the left and right. It makes them feel alive.

Trump's not a loser, he's right up there with Franklin Pierce, Pehr Svinhufvud, Aden Abdulle Osman Daar, and other household names who have changed the world in their only term. Look how many times he won impeachment, Horace, Donald Trump is anything but a loser. Plus, he's never lost a game of golf, if you believe what you read. Would have been interesting if President Trump would have been able to play Premier Kim Jong Il of the DPRK. QUOTE One of golf’s greatest feats is to shoot one’s age. So, imagine how spectacular a day Kim Jong-Il had back in 1994. The North Korean dictator, who died on Saturday of heart failure at age 69, scorched the 7,700-yard Pyongyang Golf Course in a stunning 38-under par, 34. Now, before getting all bent out of shape that such a score is impossible or clearly the product of creative scorekeeping on the part of the “Dear Leader,” it’s important to note that witnesses attest to his great round. According to reports, Kim, who was 52 at the time, carded no worse than a birdie on any hole at the country’s only golf club. He also had five holes-in-one in the round, which was witnessed by 17 armed bodyguards. “He is an excellent golfer,” Park Young Man, the club professional, told the International Herald Tribune a couple of months after Kim’s historic round, which was widely-reported in North Korea’s state-controlled media. Good thing for Tiger Woods and his contemporaries Kim spent his time serving his people because clearly he could have ruled the PGA Tour too. UNQUOTE Supposedly, it was the first time he had ever golfed!!!

@aqua-letifer said in Trust Us: @loki said in Trust Us: @horace said in Trust Us: Known Republican Lebron James doesn't want to say whether he's vaccinated. https://www.cnn.com/videos/sports/2021/05/24/lebron-james-coronavirus-vaccine-nr-vpx.cnn How can you be woke and a social justice leader and refuse to say? I’d love to hear that argument. Depends on how shitty the people are who are asking, I'd guess. If I felt like the question was more like a pre-emptive attack I'd tell them to go to hell with their question, too. And yes I still think those who are capable and should get vaccinated but still don't are fucking assholes. Shucks, I'm still for open carry and let everybody say what they want to. Manners and assholes would soon even out.

@loki The point is that fully vaccinated individuals are capable of transmitting the disease, just like unvaccinated people. Therefore, it is incumbent upon the individual to take responsibility for himself. Being vaccinated may, or may not protect society in this case, especially the further you are from your vaccination.

@lufins-dad said in Gal with a gun: Resulting in his death. He made a tragic miscalculation in the odds. Thought it was just women and children. A soft target. As a juror I would call the woman a hero, imminent threat to mothers and children. The optics aren’t any more obvious than that.

Thanks all! I will pass it along.

Drama is part of the sausage making. If a deal happened I would expect chop and turbulence and a dumpster fire all the way to the bitter end…and then each side will need to figure out if it has the votes and the leverage to accept whatever.

The salesman brought all the entertainment on that one. Good sport.

Declassify and release all the documents, I say.

@aqua-letifer said in From American Thinker: My thing is, I don't understand why, in order to be a right-thinking, intelligent and politically savvy individual, you have to hate Tesla and Elon Musk. I'm not a fan or anything, I just don't see how that tracks. You can in fact love, hate, or be indifferent to Musk and Tesla, and still be on this side of reason and rationality. He’s African American. Conservatives don’t like African Americans unless they wear bow ties. Tesla... He named his company after a LOSER. If he would have named it after Edison, it would be much better. We love oil. I mean love it. We kill for it. He has Aspergers, which obviously means that he has been vaccinated.

@jon-nyc said in Transplanted, vaccinated, no antibodies. Now what?: Small study out of the Czech Republic found t-cell response in 4 of 12 lung transplant patients that didn’t have antibodies. And that was after 2 shots. I was talking about that this morning with my other friend that had a double lung transplant.

Wonderful to read what someone was going through first hand during the war. Thanks so much for sharing Klaus. I agree with Jolly, those letters belong in a museum.

@axtremus said in Trending on Google: @jolly said in Trending on Google: And yes, 90% of Americans will probably die, unless we take precautions. What precautions would you recommend? Should we add them to the infrastructure bill? I don't think you have to, as the cost is not astronomical, being about $40B over a few years to protect the most critical parts of the grid. DOD has by far the most experience with how to do it and a civilian/military joint project is underway in San Antonio. Maybe we carve the money out of the defense budget along with a few other dollars scarfed from here and there. That would protect critical components. Maybe the grid goes down for a few weeks, but we can work around that.

@horace said in Meanwhile, in Japan...: @aqua-letifer said in Meanwhile, in Japan...: 2% of Japan's population is currently vaccinated. Trump supporters? No they're just behind for non-ridiculous reasons.

Working pretty well today. May be something well out of our control.

Probably a prudent political move under the present circumstances. Definitely a move that will garner broad public support, although I am certain very few even knew - or for that matter, gave any thought to the existence- of such partnerships until the story broke. The irony of it is that the provincial government invested a lot of time and resources in facilitating and promoting these post secondary partnerships with China over the last thirty or so years.
