    Early on in the pandemic on CBS Fauci said mask wearing wasn't necessary...... once he said it.... and then 100 times since at least he has retracted that statement and emphasized how important it is.... along with social distancing. Crowds at Trump rallies do neither..... and he allows it and sometimes even promotes it because it's some kind of crazy...deadly.... conservative political statement.

    AJ... antibody testing wont work for you at this point, they only last a few months after infection.
    If they had a T-cell test that would work, but I don't think they have one.

    My guess is the virus committed suicide after trying to get at AJ.

    Pulled this out of the content Bobda posted:
    "peaker Pelosi: "We support peaceful demonstrations. We participate in them. They are part of the essence of our democracy. That does not include looting, starting fires, or rioting. They should be prosecuted. That is lawlessness."

    Maybe I don't get it..... is there something un-American.... something sinister in what she is saying?

    Here's the problem, the looters, arsonists and rioters are not being prosecuted by Democratic prosecutors. They're not even held in jail, being immediately released as they are in NY or bailed out by a fund funded by Harris and her staff or Hollywood morons. Talk is cheap and Pelosi is just flapping her gums.

    Good for her, Dave. And it only took her 4 months to condemn violence.

    In late July she referred to the federal officers guarding the federal courthouse in Portland as “stormtroopers”. Guess the polling numbers regarding the riots caused her to change course.

    I wonder how many NFL players asked permission to put the name of the victim for whom he was charged with sexual assault? Stand for something worth standing for?

    Remember when the league wouldn't let the Cowboys honor the 5 policemen assassinated in their city? I've stopped watching them before Kaepernick becomes commissioner.

    When this blows it is going to be epic. The conservative half of this country has not said a peep through six months of unrelenting assault from the Democratic left and their goon squads. There have been an estimated 5 million first time gun purchases in the US this year. Ammo sales are up 139% year over year. Getting time at the range is almost as tough as finding ammo to stockpile. The time for turning the other cheek may be just about over. If you see a wave of fresh violence inspired by AOC and her group as well as the Hollywood big mouths in response to a Supreme Court nomination or appointment that may be the flash point.

    One quick note, the number of Supreme Court Justices has nothing to do with a Constitutional Amendment. Well, until the Democrat goon squad decides to blow up the country.

    She later clarified that she meant the NEXT election is the one that gets to pick, not the last one.

    Does anyone think Trump will not contribute to the chaos:
    Democratic strategist Doug Sosnik in a series of slides organized under the title "The Coronavirus Election: The Voting has Begun."
    The argument Sosnik puts forward -- or rather one of the arguments he puts forward -- is that we could well be heading for what he describes as the "Doomsday Scenario."
    What would that look like? According to Sosnik, there would be three elements:
    1) The election results are delayed and/or Trump refuses to honor the results.
    2) Cases of coronavirus soar across the country, signaling a second wave of the virus.
    3) The lack of clarity about the election and the rise in Covid-19 cases lead to widespread economic instability and even the possibility of a depression.

    Since he will not be going down in history as "the greatest president ever" maybe he is shooting for "worst president ever.... the man who tore down America's Democracy"

    Two parts I especially love about this: 1) the part that he was taken out of context about also wanting to abolish the Electoral College, then goes on to double-down on getting rid of the Electoral College, and 2) where he implies, and Cuomo further implies, racism that black men can't talk about blowing things up. Yes, absolutely hilarious Mr. Lemon.

    CNN is a mockery of a news organization. At least the Onion was up front about it.

    So as I have said before, I have voted by mail since I turned 65 and became eligible.

    However I don't ever remember having to indicate my race on the mail in ballot so I am not sure how the person(s) handling mail in ballots can reject a vote based on race. They won't know the race of the person submitting the ballot.

    We have not received mail-in ballots as of yet. In New Jersey there will be no voting machines whatsoever. You can go to the polls but voting will be by provisional paper ballot only; real third world feel to it. At the end of the night someone is supposed to pick up the handwritten ballots in a sealed box and "deliver" them. Study your mail in ballot package carefully; look for anything on any of the materials which may indicate your affiliation and make it easier for handlers to lose your ballot.
