When people respond to Greg then the rest of us get his germs.

Finished the table!

Are the new projections terrible for Texas this summer? Haven't read that yet albeit I've not read everything. Scary if COVID isn't abating during the summer months cause my greg "eyetest" and my past history tells me a whole lotta people get viruses during the winter. OMGosh a whole lot. No matter WHAT I do, I get three horrific cough/colds each winter. And plane travel?? Immediate germs/colds/coughs. God help us all if COVID is disastrous this summer cause we know what's coming.

The ultimate contrarion, like I said a page or two back. If this thread was posters primarily saying "Fauci is an idiot, Trump is great, masks are stupid and every store/restaurant/church/beach should be reopened asap," Greg would be saying the opposite. He does this for attention. He enjoys the arguing. He waits to see what majority opinion transpires and takes the other side. He's a baffoon. Next.

It’s clearly better to go with the experts at Fox News that have all proudly served under the last six administrations, including Reagan, both Bushes and Trump. By the way, Dr. Fauci was actually appointed director of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases by Ronald Reagan in 1984, when he was a sprightly 43 years old. Why exactly would he be out to kill Greg by deliberately providing him with bad health advice? What would possibly be his motivation? We still have 24 states trending upwards, places like Miami, Houston, Dallas and Southern California are projected to have 1,000+ deaths PER AREA around July 1st...but, it’s all basically over because Trump went out to play golf again? https://www.washingtonpost.com/nation/2020/05/24/coronavirus-rural-america-outbreaks/?arc404=true The New Frontline is in Rural America/A deadly ‘checkerboard’: Covid-19’s new surge across rural America

You’re always super calm and polite man. It’s admirable. You’d actually be good in any leadership position. Yelling, screaming, shaming, ridiculing - that’s children and the weak.

PM me if you have specific questions that I haven't addressed on here. I think I address a lot of questions. Bottom line: I am a huge huge Sox fan who is passionate about "some" world and U.S. issues. That is all. If I'm wrong I'm wrong, but when I discuss things with people in person I don't get the huge disgust I get from some on here. I also try to be polite. Note I haven't mentioned hair or any personal annoyances since I got my hair cut. Issue SOLVED finally by the government opening up.

Let's face it. You don't like folks with differing opinions. Trust me, I read all points on here and I do respond to points made. That's usually when I get caught up and you see five posts in a row from me. They are all responding to points made. Look. I hate masks and I am for opening the economy. That puts me at odds with many many many on here. Reiterating the same points? Look at all the posts on Trump on here. As much as I railed on Kamala and Warren and Abrams, others rail on Trump over and over. it's all relative to what you believe folks and most folks disagree with my positions. Remember I'm a Bernie and Tulsi guy. How many of you are? I am a Jesse Ventura/Huckabee/Joe Rogan/Howard Stern guy. You folks likely aren't. We could go down the line and we'd see how my strong feelings are not shared by too many.

Greg Is Still Playing All Of You. STOP RESPONDING TO HIS NONSENSE!

Harris? Please say it isn't so. Anybody but Kamala or Abrams as VEEP. ... Also you called Joe "folksy?" You are off your game today, Caulfield. Joe is coming across as mean (he's screaming out his answers too forcefully with his, "Hey man" start to some answers. Should get interesting if the questions ever get difficult if they ever ask him about Ukraine and his son and his arrogant statement on the Breakfast Club. It's unfair he can get away with the "you ain't black" stuff when several careers of people on TV have been ruined by statements deemed racist. And nobody accused of what he's been accused of (yes Trump is accused of even more incidents) can be called "folksy." I don't despise Joe as I did HIllary but I"m not a fan. BTW, Hillary made a BIG MISTAKE in her campaign not going on the Stern show. Ever since her hour-long appearance this year, I don't hate her nearly as much. If she'd have gone on with Howard a couple times she'd have won voters like me. Instead we were left to "despise" her for the reasons I mentioned last election cycle. Play ball! Go Sox! Chet Lemon forever!

How do u know he didn't go to church before the golf? He probably didn't but shouldn't jump to conclusions. My update: 25 people at 5 pm Mass. I wasn't crazy about the folks at the entrances being a little bossy. Why does everybody who gets a little "power" have to act so powerful, from politicians to guards at a church? Whatever happened to kindness? Anyhow ... no music at the Mass, though the organist played a solo of Ave Maria which was tear inducing. My mask was slipping off at Mass' end. It was a 30 minute Mass in a big church with just 25 peeps counting the workers and priest and altar server and organist. She played just the one song. When is McDonald's going to open up for regular hours? Once again some restaurants even though they are allowed to be open for peeps to use the outlets, they ain't open, just the drive through. I snuck in though to use the restroom after spending some time at the park. Of course the park restrooms are locked. Can't open them up, you know? Covid certainly lurks in there. Anyhow, Douglas County has 8 cases of corona. Should be an interesting case study when the athletes return. We could really spike in number when the athletes/students show. Finally, some blast me for going to a 25-person mass. Meanwhile, at the Ozarks ... LETS PARTY!!! https://www.yahoo.com/lifestyle/videos-crowded-lake-ozarks-party-165003815.html

The person who threw out the first pitch for this game (7/6/05) was former Negro Leaguer Teddy “Double Duty” Radcliffe for his 103rd Birthday. When he was 88 in 1990, he was robbed and beaten at a South Side project. The Baseball Assistance team found him housing thereafter. When he was 97 in 1999, he appeared in a professional game for the Schaumburg Flyers. Starting with his 100th Birthday in 2002, he’d throw out the first pitch at a Sox game each year on his birthday. He had been a frequent game-goer through the years. Someone who would be 118 years old today was a part of the 2005 Sox season.

It's amazing how some people can change their minds when presented with new information. You should try it sometime.

Right now he has responded saying I don’t like people with differing opinions, which is wrong. I’m a moderate who likes hearing both sides, but I don’t like seeing the same shit over again that has been discussed. Now he’s bringing up whataboutism on Trump even though the president is mentioned at different angles and not the same points over and over again with the VP nominee. He seems to have an issue with masks and wants to open the economy with no restrictions tomorrow. And he appears to have points about several of us collectively. Let’s see what he has that is new to say and if he continues attention seeking. I can listen to opposing viewpoints and debate issues, but not restated points. Otherwise, next.

Thank you, sir. I wish we could return to sports and "play ball." Or "drop the puck." Politics and corona are important but we need sports.

Yeah I’m starting to be done with his shit. He doesn’t listen to anyone, keeps reiterating the same points, whines incessantly and seems to come on here for affirmation about his positions. It’s a free country and he’s just one man, so he can freely do what he wishes and his views aren’t representative of everyone else in his camp. It’s also not worth having a conversation with someone who doesn’t respond to points being made, answer questions or even answer why he talks in third person.

You are exactly who Russian bots are targeting. I know facts don’t matter to you. Why should they, but here is fact checking your video.and just remember the last time Fauci was seen with Trump, he was wearing a mask . You are a danger to society. https://www.factcheck.org/2020/05/outdated-fauci-video-on-face-masks-shared-out-of-context/

Why do u have to compare? I've heard some African Americans upset on TV at Joe's commets like Faulkner who was very upset. At one point does the media start covering this stuff. CNN has nothing on it. This is silly. Joe should face the critics on this one, not have it be swept away. Bernie quit way too early. Bernie should be the next president. Although somebody said his VEEP woulda been Abrams for sure.

Left center, but certainly not quite out where AOC is (very few Iowans are.) Believe it or not, I followed the primaries pretty religiously here, desperate to find, well, anyone suited to lead America into the future. The closest candidate I found was....Buttigieg. Because he’s articulate and unafraid to openly debate Republicans on religion, and he’s mostly likable in an earnest, Boy Scout way. Maybe if you squint really hard, you can imagine him as president, and why that would be good for the world. Warren comes from the fact my best friend’s sister took law school classes with her and is a huge fan...and is normally more or less indifferent to the majority of politicians. Warren obviously is another one of the brightest candidates, and actually cares about policy. A wonk, just like Bill Clinton was, actually interested in the machinery of government. The Obama people NEVER liked her, and then there’s the danger of losing that MA seat. The party is caught between three imperatives...African American vote turnout (Obama, Bill Clinton), young and Latino turnout (see Sanders) and the Heartland/Rust Belt states. If it was a man, I perhaps would have chosen Sherrod Brown...but Klobuchar or Whitmer are the go to for that third reason. Black voters didn’t connect with Klobuchar/Buttigieg, but they did warm to Sanders/Warren. The reality here is they actually liked Sanders’ ideas more than him personally, but many are among the most pragmatic voters (especially after four years of Trump) who were also scared Sanders wouldn’t be able to win running as a socialist (not running away from that label, at least.) They trust Biden, but don’t love him...not like Obama and Bill Clinton (at least while he was president.) In that sense, Biden is much like Gore here....just older and more folksy, but less policy-driven. When push comes to shove, Harris gets the nod due to her age (52), her debate/campaigning skills (her campaign itself was terrible, but that’s a different issue) and for being both black and Indian, representing the diversity of the party and the world, for that matter. And that lack of genuine Native American blood is what will cost Warren in the end, as Trump would have hammered her on that. You simply can’t have four older white candidates to choose from if you want to motivate all the core groups I listed above to get out and vote. But I understand the attraction, as the Sanders/AOC wing is still slow to embrace Biden and feels they got sucker-punched twice by the DNC. It would also make Trump consider the Nikki Haley card to counter Harris, but he would never admit a mistake by dumping Pence IMO (in the same way he is basically now stuck with Fauci, Redfield and Azar.). That’s a calculated risk, and Trump just might get THAT desperate in July and August if there’s no end in sight to Covid in order to shake things up. https://www.cnn.com/2020/05/24/politics/donald-trump-tweets-joe-biden-comments/index.html Five things Trump said in the last 48 hours that were arguably worse than Biden’s “gaffe”...but went largely unnoticed

Tax them all, sure I don't mind. Massive scandals in both church and college athletics, so sure it sounds great to tax them.

Why am I not surprised? Both, that he wasn' t in church and that he was on the golf course. He is such a fine Christian.

Trump demanded churches be open today. Surprised he passed on a chance to attend choosing to golf again instead.

Ah man the tax free money train stopped rolling whatever will these churches do

Oh gmafb

It's Back to the Future in a landslide. No comparison. SBM is a nice movie, but cmon guys.
