@jon-nyc said in Ok Trump was right about vaccines: @Loki said in Ok Trump was right about vaccines: Yeah Biden is going to save the country from Covid (Gore 2.0). That will be hilarious to watch him and the media go for that mantle. Seriously I can’t wait. Cheap scotch everywhere. I’d love to see the press conference. I think we’ve all forgotten that before Trump presidents used to be able to talk about government plans and timelines without pretending they are some kind of personal accomplishment that made him better than Lincoln or whatever. Remember when Presidents did the opposite? Both parties. They would actually say something like “thanks to all the hard work of...” and then reference the nameless staff in the departments. Give us three months of Biden and you'll long for the days when Presidents could speak coherently.

Unclear on the concept.

@George-K said in Sup?: @LuFins-Dad said in Sup?: Has anybody told @Frank_W about the membership dues? I did. He's forwarding them to me. Yes.... So expensive. But any number divided by the fact that I have no money, is still zero. LOL

@taiwan_girl said in YouTube to censor: Ironic, but Tik Tok is also banned there. Lol Great point TG. A good drug dealer is never a user.

I remember reading way back that in 2000 (for example) if you had USD $3000, would you buy a new Apple computer or buy USD $3000 in Apple stock. Depend on which choice you made, after 20 years, you would have a long forgotten computer or $$$$. Lol

Yes. But also I doubt the range of outcomes among public figures we’ve been following has been that far off of expectations. What’s the fatality rate for over 70s? <5% off the top of my head. We’ve had Cain die out of (I think) fewer than 20 prominent cases among that age group. (Prominent meaning we bother commenting on them here).

https://dailycaller.com/2020/12/09/michigan-state-rep-threatened-trump-supporters-stripped-committee-assignments-cynthia-johnson/ Democratic Michigan State Rep. Cynthia Johnson was stripped of her committee assignments Wednesday after she threatened supporters of President Donald Trump in a Facebook live video. The Speaker of the Michigan House Lee Chatfield released a statement, explaining that Johnson had been removed from her committees and that there is an active investigation going on to determine if further action is necessary. “Threats to Democrats or Republicans are unacceptable and un-American. They’re even more unbecoming of an elected official. Rep. CA Johnson has been stripped of her committees and we’re looking into further disciplinary action as the proper authorities conduct their investigation,” Chatfield said in the statement.

That's great George! Congrats.

When the story first came out, I found it hard to believe that a fair number of reasonably intelligent people could get duped into doing the things he asked of them; however, after learning their techniques, it is classic story of starting with small innocent requests and gradually elevating the level of commitment until there feels like there is no turning back. Still crazy - but at least I understood how they got there.

@Jolly said in Pelosi's TDS: Y'all hush about Jon's hero! Oh, I don't think that SanFranNan is @jon-nyc s hero.

Just go back to the original games... Track and Field and Wrestling. I’m also okay if they keep the swimming races and add on duels to the death.
