Blindfold? Cigarette?

Dominion's goal isn't money. They want the emails of the Murdoch family. They don't want to settle where nobody admits fault. They want the definitive proof exposed and in public that Fox knew what they were promoting via their hosts and guests was wrong.

Considering up until the bombing of Pearl Harbor there was strong sentiment to keep the US out of another war in Europe. Roosevelt had to do some creative thinking (Lend-Lease) to get ships and supplies to Great Britain.

It probably is time for a new policy. If you have been vaccinated and are asymptomatic but test positive you are okay to take part in........whatever. If you are unvaccinated and test positive you can't take part in whatever and if you lie about your vaccination status you have to sit in a room and listen the song Liar by Rollins Band for one full month on a continuous loop.

What are the odds that Donald Trump even knows who Robert Taft is?

Not speculating about you or what you think here, but just in general, I think the problem with labeling the shooting victims "felons" is that it completely excuses the kid for shooting them dead. As in, who cares if they were shot dead, after all, they were felons, so fuck 'em. It suggests that felons deserve to be shot dead, or that people who shoot felons dead deserve a pass for doing so, or at least, people who shoot felons dead don't deserve as much punishment as people who shoot non-felons dead. It's too close to a slippery slope.

Strictly speaking just for covid on an individual level, there's no reason to be that worried about you or your family. But collectively it looks like it's going to crash things in our hospitals which are already at a breaking point. The people that work there have been at this for 2 years. They really cannot take much more. I wish there was a way to make that point known to everyone. They can't have cameras in there to show what it looks like to see a lot of people on ventilators and ECMO machines. This is where we are now prior to Omicron. Yes the data suggests it might not be as bad as previous waves but it's not a sure thing as we don't know enough about who it has hit. The speed of Omicron is the dangerous part. Given where our systems are now an exponential growth of cases, even at a lower severity, could put us back to field hospitals and parking garages, etc. The next 3-4 weeks could be disruptive. I'm anticipating some virtual things as more people test positive and have to quarantine, or just simply have a cold(covid) but are not tested but staying away. I'm not saying I know what the answer is because I don't see how it's avoided at this point. If you've had your booster then you'll pretty much be fine. But a lot of people didn't and even a small % impact of severity will put a big stress on our hospitals. I'd avoid things that can lead to injury more than I would crowds. You might not have any place to go. Prior infection as a defense against Omicron is looking to be useless, as could be the J&J vaccine.

Damn. Retiring from the NBA has done a number on him.

I’m super confused as well. Covid hit 2 years ago as a deadly virus that we knew nothing about. They had no idea how to treat it and doctors and scientists had to figure it out as they went. This is not the case with Omicron. We have a heavily vaccinated population and a much better idea on treatment options. The risk of death to people that weren’t already at risk due to age or prior condition is very minimal. Dare I say, it is much like the flu for the majority of our population. Am I wrong here? We should take some precautions but I can’t imagine doing anything on the level of what we saw in 2020.

obviously not funny that people died but still....

I'm not saying I've done a 180, but seeing left wing histrionics over vaccinated people living life has me perturbed.

Why/when did Boss Hog move to England?

Yeah, I saw something by someone somewhere or another that Crane would authorize a 6 year deal at a high AAV with an opt out after two. I did some light maths earlier today. Correa is looking for a Lindor deal, 10/$350M, an AAV of $35M. He has played in about 80% of MLB games since his debut. The Tigers offered 10/$270M (allegedly), an AAV of $27M. 80% of $35M is $28M.

and this Nice

How about this? Few schools are good in ALL FOUR major sports. The southern and coastal teams don't know what hockey is. The northern teams don't have 10 months a year to play baseball. Many BB schools don't have much of a football team and vice versa. MICHIGAN excels in ALL of them.

I’ve come to realize, with Pearl Harbor day last week, that our nation and world would not hold back and defeat a nazi threat today as we did 80 years ago. The response to the pandemic taught me that. We’d have YouTube videos telling us Nazis aren’t that bad. “Very fine people” I think is the words. Just enough people would believe it to make our spineless politicians not have the will go make the tough decisions. Rations? War effort? Are you kidding? For some foreigners? What about the economy? Nope.

I remember when my parents were this naïve about the rising crime rate in their Detroit neighborhood.

This forum is one of my initial sources of political news. I don't believe everything I read here of course, but it prompts me to learn more about certain issues.
