Yes, I think it’s a legitimate threat. I have to, I’m 67 years old. damookster Send a noteboard - 16/05/2020 03:53:07 AM

But I also believe that the motivations of our honorable Governors are not all pure as the driven snow. I also believe both sides of the aisle are equally corrupt.

Like Cuomo in New York. Right now his approval ratings are at an all time high. Yet this stupid son of a bitch is the chief executive of a state and containing a city with the highest death rates in the world. And he exacerbated those deaths by ordering early in March that elderly patients hospitalized with the virus be returned to their nursing homes. Yet people think he’s doing an amazing job. Why?

Meanwhile rural states with numbers a tiny fraction of the big coastal states are castigated for reopening.

I don’t know the answer. But I see both sides. And if there’s one thing I’ve learned in 67 years, it’s don’t trust the bureaucrats.

There’s a reason why, “I’m from the government and I’m here to help you,” is one of the most frightening sentences in the English language.

Apparently he is the Anti-Christ damookster - 12/05/2020 03:29:56 PM 353 Views
Also, did you actually think I would believe horseshit like that? *NM* damookster - 12/05/2020 06:46:45 PM 188 Views
Not you. Someone on this board though... Entirely possible fionwe1987 - 13/05/2020 01:32:28 AM 343 Views

Are people just numbers to you? Roland00 - 13/05/2020 08:50:22 PM 346 Views
I'm the one who cares about their quality of life and legitimate rights Cannoli - 16/05/2020 12:15:53 AM 371 Views
Yept you only see people as numbers, you are just confirming it. *NM* Roland00 - 16/05/2020 02:20:00 AM 183 Views
It's like you didn't even read his post hahahah *NM* TyrReborn - 16/05/2020 03:53:40 PM 183 Views
There's always one moron, at least... fionwe1987 - 14/05/2020 07:27:50 PM 340 Views
It. Does. Not. Kill. People. Not at any level that should affect public policy Cannoli - 16/05/2020 12:10:51 AM 393 Views

It has to do with Religion and the Book of Daniel plus the Book of Revelations, aka Amillennialism Roland00 - 12/05/2020 09:55:54 PM 360 Views
Or it has to do with Bill Gates actively calling for mandatory certification of vaccination status Cannoli - 13/05/2020 06:28:35 AM 351 Views
Roland your mind works in bizarre ways. damookster - 13/05/2020 01:20:58 PM 356 Views
Revelations is merely the sequel to Daniel, Mark of the Beast and all that. Roland00 - 13/05/2020 05:06:21 PM 334 Views
And just to be nit-picky.... Jeordam - 13/05/2020 05:07:20 PM 355 Views
We really should translate the Greek into Roland00 - 13/05/2020 05:40:24 PM 338 Views
Thank you *NM* Tom - 15/05/2020 02:13:40 PM 180 Views
The guy helped create Common Core. That by itself is reason to set him on fire alive. *NM* Tom - 15/05/2020 02:14:59 PM 200 Views
Good point. damookster - 15/05/2020 03:29:39 PM 341 Views
Seriously though, why can't we keep Gates away from Education? *NM* Roland00 - 15/05/2020 06:03:06 PM 186 Views
Because America buys the stupid notion that being rich means you have something useful to say fionwe1987 - 15/05/2020 07:00:40 PM 345 Views
Yes this is an uniquely American perspective. damookster - 15/05/2020 07:54:49 PM 361 Views
They really don't in the way it happens here. fionwe1987 - 15/05/2020 09:18:24 PM 364 Views
Could be. LiterateDog - 15/05/2020 09:29:15 PM 370 Views
Do you even have the slightest clue where kings came from? *NM* Cannoli - 16/05/2020 12:17:11 AM 197 Views
and then we wonder damookster - 16/05/2020 12:57:09 AM 360 Views
You are not going to get 75% of capacity anyway for people do not feel safe. Roland00 - 16/05/2020 03:11:39 AM 361 Views
Furthermore like I said earlier Roland00 - 16/05/2020 03:17:44 AM 355 Views
As usual damookster - 16/05/2020 03:31:31 AM 349 Views
Says who the governors are overstepping their authority? Roland00 - 16/05/2020 03:56:19 AM 346 Views
Are you kidding me? damookster - 16/05/2020 04:09:46 AM 336 Views
Mookie why is it only one direction in the past? Roland00 - 16/05/2020 04:20:07 AM 336 Views
Multiple Sherriffs and DAs who refuse to enforce their orders agree they are unconstitutional. damookster - 16/05/2020 04:26:48 AM 348 Views
Sigh what power each state executives have is in their own state constitution not the federal one Roland00 - 16/05/2020 04:38:25 AM 338 Views
So if their edicts violate their state constitution, aren’t they still unconstitutional? *NM* damookster - 16/05/2020 04:48:25 AM 189 Views
Yes but sweeping generalizations lead to metaphor sheer Roland00 - 16/05/2020 04:57:41 AM 329 Views
Roland, this has been fun damookster - 16/05/2020 05:05:18 AM 331 Views
Mookie like always I do hope for the best with you, Good Night *NM* Roland00 - 16/05/2020 05:30:13 AM 181 Views
Sherrifs and DAs don't make the rules either...so what the hell is your point? *NM* fionwe1987 - 16/05/2020 05:36:20 AM 166 Views
Ok, give me a logical alternative... fionwe1987 - 16/05/2020 03:30:30 AM 359 Views
Yes, I think it’s a legitimate threat. I have to, I’m 67 years old. damookster - 16/05/2020 03:53:07 AM 331 Views
Sigh the Reagan joke was originally a joke with a different meaning from Sen. Edmund Muskie, D-ME Roland00 - 16/05/2020 04:04:22 AM 430 Views
Originally? Really? damookster - 16/05/2020 04:13:12 AM 326 Views
Why should I trust your memory, after all we do not agree about authority. *NM* Roland00 - 16/05/2020 04:21:17 AM 169 Views
Yes because obviously one is related to the other. *NM* damookster - 16/05/2020 04:29:04 AM 173 Views
I'm 32, but I don't think age should be a factor here... fionwe1987 - 16/05/2020 05:34:31 AM 307 Views
I believed that 50 years ago. damookster - 17/05/2020 12:10:37 AM 331 Views
Can you stop with the “futility” thesis? Roland00 - 17/05/2020 03:23:35 AM 289 Views
This isn't making much sense fionwe1987 - 17/05/2020 04:30:24 PM 325 Views
One must imagine Sisyphus Happy? Roland00 - 17/05/2020 04:33:45 PM 308 Views
If, like Roland, you perceive whatever I write through the lens of rhetoric damookster - 17/05/2020 06:25:05 PM 305 Views
It is rhetoric Roland00 - 17/05/2020 06:46:26 PM 297 Views
