except the courts have ruled that the state and local governments can shut down churches... at least here in maskachusetts.
Sure you can. It’s easy. Just ignore these 45 words:

“Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the government for a redress of grievances.”

States cannot violate the free exercise clause, no matter how many faithless justices say so.

When numbers return to lower levels.  The definition of lower has not been set, just like it wasn't set before. 

I do see some positive news in the tracking graphs of cases.  It appears some states might have reached their peak and started heading down, but we'll need a few more days of decreases to know for sure.  It might just be a reporting glitch from Sunday and it will be back up tomorrow.

The great thing about freedom and the structure of the US - if you don't like your situation, you can change it.  Multiple states have no mandates.  Go there.
Or point out to your state and local government that they have no authority to shut down churches and businesses like they have done, and advise them that they will be punished at the next election.

WHEN the senile imposter r is forced from office, kameltoe will quickly be pushed aside for butt boy, buutigigeh(misspelling intentional).
That’s a complicated iteration. “Buttjizz” is easier.

This one is on Biden.  That said, there was no way out withdrawal wasn't going to be pandemonium, and yes we should have done it far sooner.  Obama should have done it.  Trump should have done it.  The one thing I would like to have seen would have been us quietly spiriting out our allies (all those guys who helped us over the years) before the collapse.

I can only hope that 20 years out of power has tempered the Taliban some.  It sounds like it might have, I think they've realized that they really can't be a pariah state.  Might curb some of their worst instincts.  Might not.

Oh, they emptied all the jails.  Some of those guys were Taliban fighters.  Some of them were criminals, murderers and thieves and whatnot.  Way to go Taliban!  Afghanistan is their mess now.  Good fucking riddance.
You would have thought that the Army War College, West Point, the US Air Force Academy, and the Naval Academy might have had a text book or history book describing how a withdrawal should happen; perhaps one they had a picture of the helicopter on the roof of the US Embassy in Saigon, for example.

You would have thought one or more of those generals or admirals would have pulled those old dusty text books and binders off their shelf and looked at them over the last 20 years.

You would have thought one of those generals or admirals would have advised their superiors in their chain of command to say, “Hey, just FYI, pulling the military out without getting Americans out and without withdrawing our weapons and assets may not be a good thing to do.”

You would have thought one of those superiors would have gone to the SecDef to advise him and the president of the same.

You would have thought.

It's called interpretive reading. Try it sometime.
That works in fiction. In the real world, all words matter.  Inserting 2A in the conversation is your interpretation, unconstrained by reality.

I guess the Talaban had a better air force than the one we gave the government troops.

Oh wait!

Stan and Biden are right.  The Afghan army, and their fleeing politicians, should be thrown under the bus.  I'm happy Biden did it.
Please don’t ever say something like they again. I almost threw up in my mouth.

That being said, Biden abdicated all responsibility for his Saigon, and blamed EVERYONE but himself or his cabinet. Fucking loser.

So you're saying that we should never negotiate with our enemies?  But beyond that, the author of your article has no idea what was going on, and has only speculation:

Biden had six months to back out of whatever agreement Trump made with the Taliban, if any.  Biden wiped out most of Trump's executive orders, so why stick with it?  If it went OK, then Biden gets all the credit.  Now that it went bad he can blame Trump.  Despite a month ago saying that everything was under control and Afghanistan is in great shape.
^^^This^^^

Jaybird, you’re on the wrong side of the argument once again. When an article says the meeting at camp david was “essentially a surrender agreement”, the authors essentially don’t have any clue what they are talking about.

Inflammatory headline. The announcement doesn't infringe upon 1A rights, but does warn of those that may invoke 2A.
Sure. Nothing to see here. Just move along.

Just because Washington bureaucrats see fit to associate anger over Covid shutdowns with violent attacks, NONE of which has ever happened, is simply being cautious.

Wait until they say black former Marines (BFMs) are a significant clear and present terroristic threat.  You know, just to be cautious.

I walked in to a restaurant to have dinner….
Hello.Hi, table for two, please.
Sure, and your name.Greg.

Great. And do you and your guest have your vaccination cards?
We do....Can you tell us who our server will be?
Um, looks like Tom will be your server tonight.
Great.  Can you show us Tom’s vaccination card?
Um...And also, can you provide me with proof that Tom is not a carrier of HIV, Hepatitis A or B, or any other communicable diseases?
Um...Also, we would prefer not to be served by someone who is on or uses recreational drugs such as marijuana, cocaine, meth, fentanyl, etc..., so if you could provide us with Tom’s most recent tox screen, that would be great.
Um... Let me get the manager for you.That would be great, thanks.
Waitress:  Have you been vaccinated?

Me:  Do you like anal?

Waitress:  What did you say?

Me:  Well I figured if we’re going to ask questions that are none of our fucking business…

Spin Zone / Re: Do Masks Work?
« on: August 13, 2021, 11:01:26 AM »
It’s obvious to me that air is going to try to go around the mask, not through it. The mask itself is “resistance” in terms of fluid dynamics. Air will go the path of least resistance. Proof of that is your glasses fogging up. Some goes through the magic square, but a lot completely bypasses it.

We know that effective masks must be airtight against your skin forcing the air to go through the filter. All the experts know this which is another reason the whole mask thing is a big fucking lie. If it does any good at all, it will only be to stop big globs of snot when you sneeze. That’s it. And then you will still get that on your hands as you fiddle and fool with the thing, stick your finger in there to scratch your nose, etc.

The entire purpose of the surgical mask is to prevent doctors and nurses from spitting or snotting into the open interior of a person. That’s it. That’s what they were designed for and medical personnel know how to keep their hands completely away from it, how to follow sterile protocol in every move they make. The public doesn’t. It is completely irresponsible to lead the public to believe that surgical masks are appropriate to prevent the spread of respiratory viruses.
Sure, but from what I’ve seen, particularly where masks are mandated, Americans have they safest germ-free chins in the developed world.

When they did the study to see if hydroxychloroquine worked, they only gave it to people already hospitalized, then published that it doesn’t work. That’s too late, you have to give it early.
Don’t forget, this anti-hydroxychloroquine phenomenon only came about because Donald Trump said he was taking it, and actually talked about it in a press conference.

That drug had to be destroyed no matter how many people it may have saved, because orange man bad.

I'm old enough to remember this   https://www.cnn.com/2020/03/02/health/surgeon-general-coronavirus-masks-risk-trnd/index.html
Exactly. To my knowledge no advanced scientific research has occurred within the last year that supports that masks do a single thing. The surgeon general and even fuckin’ Fauci said as much 16 months ago.

Yet the mask Nazis think that they have science in their side. They don’t.
