It's like attacking the Knicks as a basketball team.

HEY Hey hey.... this is uncalled for.

You're right. It's more like attacking the Jets as a football team.

So CNN had praise for Biden’s “ transparency” about his foot “ sprain” while playing with his dog.
Except that less than 2 days later we learned he suffered a bone fracture and has to wear a boot while recovering.

Even MSNBC found fault with what really turned out to be a “ lack of transparency”.  Andrea Mitchell pointedly remarked it shouldn’t have taken that long,
They weren’t as forthcoming as you would hope they would be with the press pool that’s supposed to cover him," the NBC News correspondent said.  

Wow! If Biden can’t tell the truth about a foot fracture what’s he going to do when they ask about Hunter’s new job?

Uno, Red, and Kid were not born with their particular brands of stupidity. They may have been raised with it, but still it gets laid out for them time and time again, and in a much lesser way than Senator Warren, nevertheless they persist.

It is flat out wrong to be bigoted toward people for circumstances beyond their control. Race, gender, disability, background, occupation or lack thereof.

It is fair game, and the core of good sense, to be bigoted toward people for demonstrably informed intentional patterns of dumbass behavior. It’s in some cases also fair and good sense to be bigoted towards someone for a singular act, though there the standards for being informed, intentional, and a dumbass are higher.

If you’d led an otherwise exemplary life, I’d be bigoted against you for in any way contributing to Kyle Rittenmouse’s being out on bail for example.

Be best, Uno. I know it’s hard cause you’ve been somehow associated with Philadelphia. Disagreeability resonates through every brick in that city and winds up in the fabric of each resident’s bones.

B'bye!
The guy that got it right.

Atlas's idea of herd immunity (at 70%) would call for about 225+ million Americans getting infected. At the current mortality rate of about 2% that would translate into about 4.5 million deaths.

I'm not the Dr. that Dr Red is (I understand Red's family back in Germany produced some famous doctors) but it seems to me, masks and social distancing and standard hygene, as adopted by most other countries, was the way to go.

Red has made clear his belief that the well-being of people's stock portfolios is much more important than the well-being of people.

Good for Ms Mitchell for calling out Biden re:. press

Sort of counteracting the attack today from FOX that went - "imagine what they'd be saying about Trump if he had sustained this injury..."

You might have to explain that one.
I bet you can’t.

I'm pretty sure 4.5 million dead Americans might hurt, or slow the economy.

Although, if the jobs were permanently outsourced to a country that was relatively covid -free, win-win.

Cheap labor, improved earnings for corporations, higher stock prices.

Win-win

Except for maybe the 4.5 million dead people and their families.

But Red's portfolio should do ok.

Red is a strategic investor

You mean the asshole who knew he was infected with covid-19 and didn't give a fuck who he infected and who got helicoptered off for a 7-day all expense paid trip to Walter Reade to get medical care that is unavaialbe to 99.9% of Americans, who who created super-spreader events in his fucking wake,

You're comping that selfish psychopath with Joe who got an x-ray that showed nothing and then an MRi which revealed a hairline fracture.

Tell me more about all that "evidence" of fraudulent voting or corrupt Dominion software. I'm listening oh so closely.
