It felt to me like none of the States thought that Op Warp Speed was going to produce the vaccine that fast. So they had not put much effort into how to get it to people. All summer they should have been getting ready to have everyone that can wield a syringe ready, including military doctors (and dentists), civilian dentists, and veterinarians. I hear the State's whining that they need more money, but at least locally I still see them using the same old budget priorities rather than shifting money around. I think it is ridiculous that the left thinks we should have deputized some huge new Federal bureaucracy to implement this.

Can you imagine what those repairers are thinking? "Study at the Kennedy School," they said. "Pursue a career in government service. It will be so fulfilling," they said.

If I recall, Bush gave a deadline and just a few hours after that passed we were in. I don't recall having much concern about the fight but do think I remember thinking we might have a much higher death toll. I remember the night vision video of all the anti-aircraft tracers and discussion of how devastating the stealth bombers were. I just finished watching W. two nights ago.

I read somewhere she has a friend in Russia who was going to sell it on her behalf. The FBI profilers must be having fun.

Meh ... pales in comparison to “character matters” before and after the Conservatives/Republicans know the character of their 2016 nominee. Ditto “deficit spending” and “executive overreach” and “double taxation” before and after they learnt who proposed those things, and “no filling a Supreme Court vacancy” before and after they know who gets to nominate the new justice.

He's my favorite Portland character.

Thanks!

If a man with as great a legal mind as Giuliani can't uncover some admissible evidence of widespread fraud, what hope is there for the rest of us mere mortals?

He might be busy with a law suit. https://twitter.com/kylegriffin1/status/1351264364624445440?s=21

@taiwan_girl said in Impeach!: That may not be a bad thing. The remaining part of the Republic party can merge with the more central part of the Democrat party and form an actual central party. Leave the extremes on both sides to fight each other. LOL, there’s a helluva lot more than just 4-sides here. You have a fringe on each side willing to be violent, you have a fringe on each side willing to be cooperative, and then you have a much bigger middle on each side not willing to be violent, but also not willing to compromise. And both of those big middles are shifting towards the more dangerous extremes.

Anyone who says George Floyd was killed by police should be banned from all social media.

Dollar General is going to pay it's workers to take the vaccine. I don't quite see the motivation. Unless it's about saving on insurance costs.

Wow. That is awesome. I would have made the chair using titanium, to limit the extra weight he needed to carry. Why carry the extra weight of the chair in the first place?

@catseye3 said in As if Jill needs the house tour ...: I agree a walk-through would be a bit silly. But the classy thing would have been to host some sort of social event, like a welcoming tea or something, for the new FLOTUS. OTOH, that might appear somewhat in opposition to her husband's approach to the whole inauguration thing. Agree. Probably not necessary but would have shown common courtesy to have some sort of "get together". Respect the office, etc.

@mik Recovery mode allows you to restart the computer using the internet as a boot device (or the hidden partition on her hard drive). If she has an Apple ID, she should be able to get a password reset and/or a username reset from Apple. https://support.apple.com/en-us/HT201354

Follow the UK’s lead and release the Astra Zeneca vaccine and you really help solve the problem. Imagine where all our vaccines on hand were already distributed you are still a country mile from herd immunity and opening up the economy. Also, I know a heck of a lot more people my age than old functioning people who have the vaccine.

@jolly said in Speaking of job losses...: No worries, mate. Biden has got this... Millions of high paying union jobs.

Sad to see Brees go out that way. Can't win with four turnovers.

@axtremus said in On Biden's Inauguration Day, Trump Will See Himself Out: @copper said in On Biden's Inauguration Day, Trump Will See Himself Out: What about Kennedy and Nixon? Kennedy died. Nixon resigned and “regret any injuries that may have been done in the course of the events that led to [his deck to resign].” Maybe Trump will resign before the inauguration and regret any injuries that may have been done in the course of events that led to his resignation too. Yes, I get the stupid TDS Stuff. But neither Kennedy nor Nixon was at the swearing in, and we all know why not, so why say Trump is the first in modern times? Is this just another shot at Trump? Why bother?
