This is what I don't like, the belief any elected official cares about COVID. They care about POWER. Gavin Newsome LIES that his 12 person dinner the other night was outdoors. Pictures show it INDOORS. Meanwhile, restrictions galore on the little guy. Sickening. ... Nancy Pelosi goes gets her hair done, pictured with no mask. Do as I say little people, not as I do ... Chicago mayor allowing looting and riots and goes to get her hair done, but you better not do what she does over Thanksgiving. ... Ditto in Oregon. How dare the government officials order people to skip Thanksgiving and have all these regulations when they are STILL rioting in Portland and busting windows and looting. ... Face it government is broken on all sides. Repubs and Democrats DESPISE each other. Wear a Trump hat ... risk getting hit in the head with a bat. That is unacceptible!! Bring that up and the other side will point out Trumpies are beating up Democrats and not vice versa. ... All I expect from government at this point is to keep the economy running somehow, have law and order somehow on the streets and hope someday some real unifiers will be elected to high office. And yes I worry about our youth getting destroyed mentally with all this flip flopping regarding not being allowed in person class. This do as I say, not as I do stuff regarding COVID and politicians has to end. They are too bossy while eating their designer ice cream and going to their Napa Valley 300 dollar a plate dinners/drinks.

Nope. I can kill the line if you want but it's true. Both have had great youtube interviews of late and I can link to them. Why assume trolling when these 2 guys are favorites of a lot of people. Not everybody has to always agree on stuff. Geez.

I don't think we should add 2 states just for the gain of the Democrat party. If I see other reasons, which I have seen none, I may change my mind. All I see it as a tactic to get more automatic electoral votes each presidential election. There are a few ways the Democratic party can assure winning for the rest of time, one way is to garner a few more automatic batches of electoral votes and members of Senate and House.

I love Jordan, may be my favorite politician aside from Cruz right now. I like their style so to speak.

First of all, trust me, Biden will have majorities in the Senate AND House to work with following the Georgia runoffs. I've never been more sure of anything, just as I was positive Joe had the election in the bag. This is a done deal; Senate is going Democrat majority (Kamala has the deciding vote if tied). Be that as it may, Joe actually still has a chance to get a few things done if somehow the Senate and House were split. That's ONLY IF he is the regular, upstanding, grandfatherly, nice guy, good politician Joe that he's been for 50 years. If he is just Kamala's puppet and AOC's puppet and comes in blazing about radical issues like defund the police, adding 2 new states, 480,000 bucks reparations for every Black family, incredible tax hikes on the little guy, taking away guns, letting everyone out of prison via Kaepernick's demand, refusing to tell the FBI to look harder into Antifa, agreeing with weak mayors and governors who won't prosecute rioters ... forget it. It'll be WAR just as it's been with Trump. Regular Joe ... he might be one of the great presidents ever. Following the radicals Joe ... ugh, he will be in so many fights with the Jim Jordans, etc., it'll make our heads spin.

I'd take it ASAP. Of course by the time it gets to Kansas many many others will have taken it. If nobody gets violently ill from it or dies heaven forbid, of course I'd take it.

If it's true the Sox knew about Tony's DUI before hiring him, this is Jerry's legacy, his low moment as an owner. Totally taking care of a buddy when that buddy has (allegedly) committed an inexcusable crime. Jerry has erased all good will from the one WS title. If he ever shows his face at a Sox game he should be booed. We all know how favoritism works, but this is inexcusable. The commissioner should suspend LaRussa one full season and publicly reprimand the Sox front office/ownership group.

Hey Jack Parkman, as far as student loan debt cancellation good news is coming. All debt to be rescinded soon, so I hope that helps young people out. via Twitter: President-elect Joe Biden says student loan forgiveness does figure in his economic plan: "It should be done immediately." http://abcn.ws/3kKtPSN

Hey NWIM give the video a chance and tell me what u think about it. Maher's positions could save this country if abided by IMO. He rips Republicans and Demos alike which is why I love him now. The new Maher.

Oh My goodness Yermin. I love Bill Maher!! A Must watch video!! Thank u. Oh baby do I endorse what Bill is saying! Sending to all my friends. thank u I especially enjoyed his being appalled at nobody saying a word about all the looting/violence of Antifa and ridiculous cancel culture. Monumental video. I have liked the new Maher cause he rips both sides equally. I'd vote for Maher for president just like I would the former wrestler.

Defund the police means defund the police. The no prisons thing is REAL. BLM and Colin want no prison time for lawbreakers. I also fear the buyback of guns which is Kamala's goal. https://www.cbsnews.com/news/colin-kaepernick-abolish-police-prisons-essay-medium-2020-10-08/ https://www.cnn.com/2020/10/10/us/kaepernick-essays-call-for-abolishing-police-trnd/index.html https://www.newsweek.com/aoc-says-nypds-1-billion-budget-cut-doesnt-go-far-enough-defund-police-1514523

The vaccines are 90 percent or better effective according to today's reports. Now I just hope I can get vaccinated and not have to wait a full year.

I read Fox News and CNN on my phone twice a day. ... I listen/watch youtube snippets of Clay Travis, Whitlock, Hannity, Carlson, sometimes Laura I if I can find them on my phone quickly. I watch no news on TV. I should probably watch snippets of Cuomo, Lemon and Cooper on youtube as well but frankly they say things that tend to really anger me and I've decided reading CNN is enough. No reason to have my blood pressure boil to an out of control level.

I'm quite surprised you dispute this contention of Republicans. We are in an era where everybody votes party lines (cept maybe the West Virginia Democrat senator, we shall see). It's a new era. It's completely partisan. Remember the boycott for the vote of ACB? Not one Democrat thought she was an acceptable choice and stellar human being, not one??? Certainly not in 2020. Why do you think so much money is being spent in Georgia by the Democrats to assure majority in both Houses of Congress. Just my take, I know I'm in the minority here so I post at my own peril, but the Democrats/Pelosi/AOC are aware if Georgia runoffs give the Democrats a Senate majority there will be 2 states added (assuring all those electoral votes every election), there will be court packing (assuring Democratic majority of justices) and there will be Green New Deal, there will be a ton of new immigrants (who will vote Democrat) and in my opinion (I'm not the only person who feels this way) abolition of police and possibly no prisons (per Kaepernick/BLM requests). Blast me all you want, I'm not the only person saying this stuff.

Just got back from big grocery store. No toilet paper or paper towels. Gone.

I've read a lot of your posts. I'm thinking you should write AOC and maybe begin a dialogue with her cause she seems to be intent on attacking some of the issues you address. I don't like AOC at all, but she seems intent on attacking some of these college student loan/minimum wage for all Americans issues. Maybe keep after the government to pass a plan to relax your student loans. I do know those who major in certain majors are wasting their money and college should be ashamed to be offering these majors. If high schools are not college prep, they should be and high schools should be helping kids assess their academic paths to ensure the best possible chances at meaningful and profitable work, too. Our society unfortunately needs work in a lot of areas. Peace to you, Jack.

I would assume Joe is going to come up with a plan to address the high cost of college and/or student loan debt. I know it was talked about in the election, more so on Joe's side, so perhaps there will be some pressure to do something. Yes I realize that would be a socialist type program and I am not a socialist but I am willing to listen to addressing these concerns about cost of college and the crippling debt graduates are buried under. Again ... this is something Warren addressed in her campaign and Bernie. I would think Joe will come up with something to attack this. ... Jack, minimum wage is going up to 15 bucks an hour in many places. Perhaps that also will help some get ahead. College kids can work summers and during the school year too if they must at 15 per hour. I know I worked during college and it helped me a lot.

I've posted about this before and think at that time I put the link. Quite honestly I can't remember where I read it now (I remember discussing it on this board at the time) but we all did the math and the 9 trillion or whatever the figure it was came out to about 450,000 per Black or Black family. If you want to discuss it more we can do it in direct messaging. I don't want to cause a big fight on here.

Did they get college degrees in a field with a real major? (I blame universities for some of the majors that mean nothing to employers and quite frankly are laughable wastes of money). Did they hustle to make sure to get internships in college during the summer? Did they focus completely on what college is for? To get a job that will support you, your future wife and kids if you go that route like "most" people? There are ways to put yourself at the top of the list of employers in my opinion. If we decide what I described won't even put you on the path to comfort as an adult via a good job, then I would guess socialism would be what all 22 to 30-somethings will be DEMANDING in the not so distant future. I don't think the American dream is dead. Hope I'm not mistaken. p.s. By "they" I'm referring more to the kids of middle class people that you talked about being left behind. I mean if you are dead poor and have to help raise the family, etc., and can't go to college and live in unabashed poverty I would agree that is a different category of people and I am open to suggestions on how to help without all-out socialism/communism.

Sorry. I never claimed to be the brightest tool in the shed.

Why are reparations currently on the backburner? Remember I months ago read something like 9 trillion was BLM's request plan for reparations. It meant something like 450,000 per Black or Black family, I forget which. That would vault a lot of people into the upper middle class. Kind of waiting for it to resurface. That money would satisfy your question in your third paragraph. 450,000 dollars should switch a lot of people's economic status. I would think that would be classified as a socialist move, however, in free money.

You understand me decently Danny regarding Antifa. Check youtube highlights from them beating up elderly people today mostly with sneak attack punches in DC. Then tonight, boom, they commit a felony (no arrests) by shooting firebombs at outdoor diners. That's cool u have recognized my worry about them. That's why I talk about Tex recommending the right brand of firearm for me if needed. p.s. didn't mean to imply you liked communism; you seem OK to me. Sorry. p.s. I disagree Joe and Kamala will be angering leftists much. Remember the concern of some of us is Joe following pretty much everything Kamala and the Squad want. Just telling you how some in America feel, not trying to stir anything up.

I don't know about Jack's situation but I will tell you this: Anybody who wants all-out socialism (not talking about Jack specifically) is misguided and even potentially dangerous. Bigger government is NOT a good thing. Capitalism is the only way to go. And Communism? Holy cow you don't want Communism. Politics is out of control right now and if the Senate goes Democrat and the radical left gets its way ... well, it's going to be interesting to say the least. I could say more but I better stifle.

Looks like Tony will survive this, sadly. I know it has to go through the court system, but cmon. Tony is too old to be playing the "get out of it with probation" game. The reason I say he'll survive this is Sox would have rid themselves of him by now if that's what they were going to do. I know back in the old days DUIs were no big deal. The last 10-20 years they've been a huge deal and Tony at his age knows better and should step down. Sadly, my guess is Sox are keeping him. He'd have stepped down by now or been fired if they were planning on booting him. Commish will probably just say "let it play out in the courts" where Tony is gonna probably get a wrist slap. Maybe the courts will come through and give him some jail time (if guilty as alleged).

Look, this is developing. Americans can change their minds about things.My mistake is expressing changing moods on the message board as a way to stay sane. Yes my mental health was being affected during the last lockdown and 3.5 months with no haircut and hippie-like hair status was affecting me mentally. Would a psychiatrist have helped me? Probably. Right now I'm very very concerned about everything COVID related. I worry when I hear there's no bed for my neighbors and relatives at the hospital if needed. I just hope numbers decrease somehow as we enter the brutal months of winter when viruses spike.
