Try again.

It goes like this. "Bless your heart, you say you're interested in less government, but you believe in locking more people up for longer times in unneeded prisons to provide jobs for your friends."

Re: who ya got?

Somehow I missed where any of the other gatherings were organized by the leader of the country who has all kinds of briefings and knowledge about COVID that the rest of us aren't privy to. When Ebola affected 4 people in the U.S. in 2014, Republicans made it a huge issue. But a likely 200,000 COVID ...

This response in the comments seems on target.

I think I’m still just going to vote for the one who didn’t tell me to drink bleach.

Rick Wilson has a podcast, The New Abnormal , and talks about the Confederate flag, the Confederate generals who combined considerable military failure with "the usual delight in slavery and racism", and as he calls them--the Trump supporters (not every Trump supporter) who are " raci...

Re: Destroy the monuments?

If there wasn't a US, slavery would have ended in 1807 in this land. 1807 ended the slave trade, not slavery in British colonies, it continued for decades. Washington's slaves were freed in 1801 fwiw. Huh. Re: Washington's slaves, that's the thing, right? Slavery was not considered ok anymore by th...

The best part of this story is the quote by a Parks and Recreation guy: Sam Biederman, an NYC Department of Parks and Recreation official, wrote, "In Staten Island they call this 'asking her politely to leave.'" Shoppers at Staten Island grocery store scream at woman for not wearing mask &...

My neighbor who manages a restaurant says that no patrons wear masks and he's the only server who does. He also said that although they've kept the spacing and using half the space in the restaurant that the people coming in pay no attention to social distancing. Also that they've made more money th...

Re: Millennials

I meant it as more gut checks on more different levels than many generations. On a practical level, I can be as self depreciating about millennials as anyone. But if we are to be the greatest, it’s not meant as put down to previous generations. It’s that we can draw upon the lessons gained from pre...

I really hope Trump talks his advisors into letting him give a big hearttfelt speech about unity and racial equality.

It would be the best "Vote For Biden" ad ever.
"I resign" would promote unity.

D-Day is a big celebration day in Normandy with wreath laying and speeches in French and in English by representatives of the various countries that took part in the invasion, followed by paratrooper jumps, and local people picknicking. But the museums and the videos at Market Garden seem to me more...

They were mentioning several points about the report yesterday. 1. Many businesses that BLS would have been calling were closed in April. 2. Many employers are using PPP to pay workers, when that runs out in July, the unemployment numbers may be much higher, given that Republicans are unlikely to co...

I love a good reuben. Pumpernickle, not "marble rye" what ever that is. Russian dressing. Of course kraut, corned beef and swiss. I had one out of a little bodega in NYC, served open face. Great sammich and enough for two meals. I agree about marble rye and love Reubens, but there are no ...

Re: George Floyd and the Ensuing Protests

Wasn't it the Lite Gov in Texas who said that grandparents needed to die to open up the economy? Seems like this is not the first stupid thing Patrick has said.
