Mayor of Philly dines at a restaurant indoors out of state while his own city's establishments are still shut.

It was fine until he was identified.
You mean caught.

I meant identified.

Ward, you have a hard enough time writing your own posts.

This remains no witch hunt. Did you not read the NY Times piece on this, Kid?


Nope

This era's Times is synonymous with witch hunt.

So what if what they were printing were public docs.

Got it. "I've already made up my mind. Don't confuse me with the facts."

Does Pence have any examples of "reflexive condemnation"?

heh


Yes

His respons was to a direct question about recent incidents

Watch those typos, now.

And that he responded to a direct question doesn't mean he had a real one in mind.

Dp you truly believe that tax fraud should not be examined?!



Watch those typos now...

I think witch hunts should cease.

Me, too.

The publicly available evidence is more than strong enough to merit a deeper look.

And the way Trump fights it just drives home the point.

Or, speaking of jumping to conclusions before all the facts are in! "Witch hunt," indeed.

With all deliberate speed.

The question remains one of "when?" and not of "If?"

Winning.

No, Kid. You keep thinking that if Trump wins these cases that Trump is winning, but the American people lose each time, at worst and at best it is neutral.

I don't know why you think it is winning.

Dp you truly believe that tax fraud should not be examined?!

1) it's not that hard to limit/stop CV transmission



'it's not that tough to learn first base.  Tell'm, Wash."

Kid, all it takes is intention coupled with leadership.

Trump had neither.

Had Trump pushed masks even as "early" as a month after Fauci and the CDC admitted it, 10s of thousands of lives would have been spared.

But you can't admit it.

Some of the lies Trump tells are awful, but "Dr. Laura" is never going to call him out for those, let alone his fear-mongering.

Its a good thing that colleges are self-contained communities with little or no interaction with the outside world.

Imagine what might happen if there were "college towns" where college students mingled with the others who were dependent upon college related commerce in restaurants, bars, retail stores of all sorts. Just imagne the possibiity of spreading a virus in that environment. !!! Thank gawd, there aren't any of those in the US.

Like I said, probably would have been beneficial for kiidcarter8 to have attended a college.

Or more than one, like I did!

(And I don't mean grad school, though those, too...)

Follow-up to the story about the NH GOP and illegal absentee ballots they sent out:

Quote
GOP sent out 200,000 of those illegal absentee ballots. 2900 or so have been returned. (Maybe postage barcoded). They plan to reach out by newspaper ad and telephone to those voters


need a link

I didn't have one, when I posted that. It came straight from one of the legal team in NH that works elections. But I have one now:

One no average, one no power = 2 stiffs

You have to at least get one arm in that deal if you are Sox

BleacherReport disagrees with your estimation of the trade:
Quote
For the Padres: A

The Padres have one of the best offenses in baseball, but it's been relatively weak at designated hitter. That's where Moreland, who bears a 1.177 OPS and eight home runs, figures to slot in. To boot, he has a $3 million club option that could keep him in San Diego next year.

Both Rosario and Potts are legitimate prospects, but neither was among the best of San Diego's loaded system. So as win-now trades go, this is a good one.

     

For the Red Sox: A

Though neither Rosario nor Potts placed highly in San Diego, they now rank as Boston's No. 16 and 20 prospects on MLB.com.

That's a good haul for Moreland, and one that the Red Sox were right to pursue. Though they could have kept him through 2021, his up-and-down nature gave them a good excuse to sell high.
