Spin Zone / Re: Welp I voted
« on: October 14, 2020, 08:35:09 AM »
Our machines spit out a paper ballot after you vote and you take it and insert it in the scanner.

I'll vote on November 3rd when there are no lines.
I’m hoping the lines are massive. Most republicans I know don’t trust the mail, early voting, or anything they gets between me and the voting machine that reads my ballot.

Also been proven to be untrue.   During the great lockdown to "flatten the curve" medical facilities never were overwhelmed.   Even since this started medical facilities have not been overwhelmed.   Never.

 We spent millions on temp field hospitals that were never used. We dispatched floating hospital ships that weren't used.

 What did happen?   Many hospitals were financially devastated by the lockdown.  Because covid was everything, hospitals declined other important medical procedures.   The covid hospitalization never materialized.   Hospitals layed off staff and closed sections, posting huge losses.

 The "overwhelming of the medical facilities" is just another liberal fear mongering talking point.

Collins is a no, and I suspect Murkowski and Romney are also in that camp now.

https://www.citizenfreepress.com/breaking/susan-collins-announces-decision-on-amy-barrett/

 So it looks like we are heading to a 50/50 vote with Pence being the tie breaker.

 If the dims can convince one more republican to defect, she's out.   You can bet the beatings will begin and be severe.
These fuckers live to be the swing vote, and have the TV cameras on them when they disrupt the Republic. McCain was the king of this; Romney wanted to be king, but pro-abortion Roman Catholic 27-year Senator Collins is down 3.5% to her Democrat challenger, so she gets to play spoiler to get democrats to like her.

Same with 18-year Senator Murkowski.

What I see is 6000 "scientists". That could be 6000 Geologists for all I know.  Having everything go back to normal with a deadly and highly infectious virus on the loose in a naive population is the dumbest idea I've yet heard.  And if you guys want to tell me this 'rona isn't deadly you'd be better off explaining that to the families and loved ones of the 200,000 Americans who have died of it. Our medical facilities could still be easily overwhelmed. This is seriously bad news.  Yeah, there are going to be hard times, but to me that beats lots and lots of dead people.  Remember that's 200,000 with us doing everything we can to stop the transmission of the virus.  Dwarfs a normal flu season, and we haven't even hit the fucking flu season yet.  This could easily get way worse.  And do keep in mind that the vaccines that are just around the corner are high experimental and have never worked before even once.  And if they don't, old school vaccines take 3 years to make to a novel virus.

One of my old friends got this a couple months ago and hasn't been right since.  Do whatever the fuck you want, I don't care.  I'm doing everything I can to sit this one out.
Wow, you’re the real Wizard of Oz. “Don’t look at that man behind the curtain!” 

And I though scientists were supposed to think critically when presented with alternative data.  What the hell do I know, I’m only a CPA.

Rush, the male one, is talking about this now.
We prefer the more well endowed Rush, but the one on the radio is good too.

I know way more about viruses than any of you guys, and they don't confuse little old me.  My neighbor has the 'rona now.  I am worried it could kill her husband, I'm certain he has it too.  Mrs. Steingar was out with her outside the other day, and she's worried she might have it as well.  I told her if she's going to get it from our neighbor she already has it, and so do I.  I doubt it, but we'll just have to wait and see.  I don't care what Trumplethinskin says about it.  It is a dangerous virus and highly infectious.
Have you heard of the Great Barrington Declaration?  How about these people?  Do they know as much as you? 

Newsweek article below just for reference:

BREAKING NEWS:  The world renowned experts in their fields, after a 4 day conference regarding COVID-19, declare that WE SHOULD ALL GO BACK TO LIVING NORMALLY, PRACTICING SIMPLE HYGIENE & STAYING HOME WHEN SICK (NO FACE MASKS OR SOCIAL DISTANCING) and only protect the most vulnerable populations with more protective measures!

“From October 1-4, 2020, the American Institute for Economic Research had a remarkable meeting of top epidemiologists, economists, and journalists, to discuss the global emergency created by the unprecedented use of state compulsion in the management of the Covid-19 pandemic. The result is The Great Barrington Declaration, which urges a “Focused Protection” strategy.”

“Schools and universities should be open for in-person teaching. Extracurricular activities, such as sports, should be resumed. Young low-risk adults should work normally, rather than from home. Restaurants and other businesses should open. Arts, music, sport and other cultural activities should resume.”

Remember David White over at POA?  He was a smart ass kid who got help getting his ratings, took a job flying in Canada, and thereafter became the world authority on all things Aviation? 

I met him at Jay Honeck’s parties at OSH back in the day. Still a smart ass kid. Well it looks like he’s quite the Republican hater, and a gun owning one at that. Saw this on a FB site called Guns and Aviators. (Who knew?)

That's changing.  The current Pope is a communist.  All Catholic universities, including the one I attended are now Woke and Marxist.
Ha. I had a friend who is a priest in the Congregation of the Holy Cross - same priests as at University of Notre Dame. In fact he was the football team chaplain.

My daughter went to a Jesuit college. When I told Father Bill that she was going to a Jesuit school, he said:  “Just don’t let her convert.” 

Inside joke is that even for some Catholics, the Jesuits are over the top leftists. Jesuits generally have inner city universities, and have always been known as the long hair, sandal wearing hippie priests. At least back in the day.

Effing hypocrites.  >:(
I’m not sure it’s hypocrisy.

I think that due to the willful swarm of the leftist locusts over all public education, our young people are intentionally made utterly ignorant with respect our US history, and the history of western civilization.

Now, when you try to reason with these ignorant little skinny jeans-wearing junior Taliban “warriors” that want to tear down Columbus statues that Columbus helped bring civilization to uncivilized, warring savages, they will argue to their death that WE are wrong. They are incapable of hearing facts that conflict with their world view, brought to you by the democrats/socialists/communists.
