Stupid CNN headline #43

https://www.cnn.com/2020/07/13/politics/can-trump-fire-fauci/index.html

Oh, what makes that one stupid?

Trump v Fauci is misreported and overblown

In what way is it overblown, given that Fauci has not given Trump a briefing in more than two months and is being prevented from going on television?

https://www.cnn.com/2020/07/13/politics/us-military-covid-spike/index.html

US Military COVID-19 cases have gone up 60% since the end of June.

I'll throw it over to Trump.



"More testing"


Local media reported that the Okinawan assembly adopted a resolution on Friday protesting the US military's lack of transparency about its outbreak on base, and that local officials were considering demanding shutdowns of Futenma and Camp Hansen.

And no, Blue Lives do NOT matter more.

More than ?


Ask the folks in the image who are holding a sign saying "Blue Lives Matter More," Ward, if you cannot understand their implication.
I asked you.

I noticed, Ward. I'm clever like that.

Blue Lives do not matter more than the people those folks were claiming they did.

Since you have decided to be aggressively obtuse.

Blue lives dont natter at all

Dead Latino cop's daughter pens a beautiful tribute to her dad on Twitter

She uses the hashtag BLUELIVESMATTER and then is abused so horrifically that she has to remove the nicely written prose altogether

Sad.

Plenty of them natter. Just listen to them talking after they've roughed up an unarmed person, Kid.

And there is a huge difference between the people mattering and folks using a phrase INVENTED TO MINIMIZE BLM getting hammered for doing so.

SAD is a gross understatement for that mindset.

From December 2018

The people in these communities declare Black Lives Matter and by that declaration insist “Our lives are important, too.” Blue Lives Matter explicitly says to those folks, “No Your Lives Don’t Matter,” and sad to say, that is the American Way.

The Black Lives Matter mural on 5th Ave is a big FUCK YOU! to Donald Yrump and it is well deserved.

Too much truth for either Kid or Ward to accept.

Nolite te leones de mare carborundorum.  

I'm ending my participation here,  in terms of posting columns, citations,  analytics,  memes,  polls,  extended logical arguments,  etc.   Boz, Larry and Yank have helped me see the light, on the whole brevity thing.    Like the panda in that old joke,  I will join the species that "eats,  shoots,  and leaves. "   Cheers.

I have appreciated your posted columns, analytics, memes, polls, and extended logical arguments and shared them elsewhere with others who have appreciated them in turn.

I can understand if this does not always feel (almost never, for you, perhaps) like a rewarding environment.

And I am sorry to whatever extent I have added to its not feeling like one.

Thanks for the kind words, brother.   But you have no cause to be sorry.   I just don't see a point in wasting a lot of time with the Three Stooges of Elba.   It's still rewarding to read your material,  and others here,  and if I can drop in a good word or two,  will do so.   And if I catch the three stooges all trying to pass-through a doorway at the same time...frosting!

And it will kill off a main supply of smart ideas I can pass off as my own in a variety of social settings. You don’t know how useful those in depth posts have been to me over the years.

Truly I did not.   Thank you.   Full disclosure -- not all the smart ideas are mine.  Very few,  really.   All web rats are shameless borrowers and scavengers.   I just spit on old stuff so it looks shiny.   I also... no,  you don't want to know...like you don't want to know what's in convenience store hot dogs.
