  1. By the by, Bigun, you should get a Nobel prize in social media for starting this thread. Wendy P.
  2. Well the reason is obvious! Aliens voting. There've been UFOs landing in droves! They mind-meld with the vote counters and the observers! I saw it -- the alien looked just like everyone else! Wendy P.
  3. And Massachusetts is doing way better. It's pretty blue in Massachusetts. We're mostly all vaccinated, too. Wendy P.

    Oh don't worry -- the Republicans will put up Vance or Stephen Miller unless he has an affair with Melania. And no matter who the Democrats put up, you'll find some disqualifying reason why whoever it is, is even WORSE than Satan. Maybe they were nice to someone who identified as trans or something. Wendy P.
  5. And here's an honest start. I heard an interview with one of the authors of this paper with a meta-analysis of papers about the effects of various things that were done, including the lockdown. And nope, the lockdown was probably not worth it. In retrospect. Because the last global pandemic we had was before germ theory was thoroughly ingrained, and experiences like the hugely increased mortality in Philadelphia due to the 1918 flu and their holding of a big military parade (at least that's what's thought to be the cause for Philadelphia's outsized death toll). The interview (and I don't remember when I heard it other than the last month or so, and where other than NPR) was really good; the author said that only an honest appraisal of what didn't work would make a difference next time Wendy P.
  6. Most of that happened in 2020. Why was that Biden's fault? Wendy P.
  7. And how exactly were you and yours victimized? Did you have to move? Or do you just hate that it’s considered rude now by more people to make fun of minorities, women, and handicapped people? Or was it being forced to wear masks (which don’t, in fact, cut off your oxygen supply) Wendy P.

    Trump

    She's actually smart. But smart like Ann Coulter -- seems to be fairly mean-spirited deep down, and wants to make it clear how much smarter she is than anyone who disagrees with her. It helps her brand. Wendy P.
  10. Yes, absolutely. And accepting questions from people who disagree with them will be key. So they need to start talking with Republicans now. Wendy P.
  11. So as long as the perpetrators of that feel enough pain, it's OK? Wendy P.
  12. What's wrong with Firelites in your opinion? I'm asking because my old rig has one. Wendy P.
  13. Damn. Yeah, lie enough and no one believes anything. Wendy P.
  14. But wait until Fox wants to do an interview. Wendy P.
  15. I'm just remembering Hillary Clinton, who most likely WAS in meetings (not all, but some). Of course, she's smarter than Bill, just less gifted politically Wendy P.
  16. Well, if she's regularly provided valuable inputs (besides "don't be an asshole, dear"), then maybe she belongs in the meetings. Some wives are actually capable of more than support. Wendy P.
  17. This (dagnabbit). That yellow dog is looking better all the time. Much better than an orange dog. And this. I'm particularly guilty of looking for the good. Individually, it enhances my life far more than it reduces it, so I'll keep it up. But yeah, my glasses are even pink Wendy P.

    Sounds kind of like Kamala Harris being the border czar... Wendy P.
  19. Not all, but more and more went along with it. Because it was trumpeted all the time. People are people. Wendy P.
  20. To the Germans of the Nazi era, the Jews were guilty. Wendy P.
  21. That's one approach. I'll bet a lot of people applaud it, too. Wendy P.
  22. Thats the problem, Bigun — too many people honestly believe the rule of law should only apply favorably to people they agree with, and that it should be used as a weapon against those they don’t. And the current president is among them, along with the majority of the people he’s selected for his cabinet and staff. Wendy P.
  23. It's a follow-on to the doctrine during the Iraq war that torture was OK as long as it wasn't on US soil (e.g. Gitmo and extractions). Funny how decisions have consequences. Wendy P.
  24. It's also hard and costly to get a battleship started up when it's stopped or slowed. Wendy P.
