This is a crisis and I hope we can dig out.

Half the people I've talked to today about what's ahead for us locally and in America bring up politics. We can blast Trump all we want if it makes us feel better. It's here. It's real and I'm scared. It was pretty obvious once we got to the winter it was gonna spike like the flu does every winter. If it makes America feel better to blast the Covid-deniers fine I guess. But I'm more worried about what's going on and about to happen. ie. doctors and nurses running low in numbers and hospitals full. I wish everybody good health, hope we can somehow survive physically and $$ wise. Bless u all and your families. Hopefully my mood will change but I've heard some scary bleep today. Be careful.

My mood has changed today. Hear all hospitals are filling up in the state and surrounding states. Hear they are or will soon be turning away people from hospitals. Thanksgiving gatherings are probably going to be held in at least 1/3 of the households that normally hold them probably more amid COVID. How can ANYBODY go to such a gathering? Health care workers and doctors are running low. Seriously whatever you think of me, it's time to band together and figure out how to survive this. Not sure what the nation is saying today, if they are still arguing, but politics aside, I am scared to death today at this COVID onslaught. I have heard nothing but scary scary stuff entering the weekend. Sorry but I'm legitimally upset at what lies ahead. Thanks for listening/reading.

Not trying to beat up AOC again but a.) did you see her statement: "Defund the police means defund the police!" In other words get rid of the police. Also b.) did you see the Democrat Senator Joe Manchin in West Virginia said he would not vote for radical left issues like defunding the police, packing the court, adding states, etc., which means the Georgia elections don't matter. He will vote Republican on those issues. So this Democratic senator is now a Republican hero since his vote will make the difference with everybody voting party lines. https://thehill.com/homenews/house/525725-alexandria-ocasio-cortez-tweets-displeasure-of-manchin-after-he-attacks-crazy-socialist

Congrats to MVP Jose.

The second DUI turned me completely around. I was totally for the hire of LaRussa. Figured one DUI, anyone can make a terrible mistake. But the second one changed it for me. I won't support Tony on anything anymore. He's gone to me and should be gone from baseball. He's a crabby old man who is a danger to himself and society if as alleged he's guilty of the second DUI. He should be fired the moment he's found guilty of DUI. If he's innocent somehow I guess he should stay.

I'll stop posting for a while if you want. I still see value in exploring all opinions and mine are not shared by many I guess.

Here's a start. I'll look for more. AOC on punishing Trump voters. ... https://nypost.com/2020/11/11/aoc-co-s-loathsome-plan-to-keep-lists-of-pro-trumpies/ https://nypost.com/2020/11/06/aoc-facing-heat-for-wanting-to-archive-posts-by-trump-sycophants/ https://www.opindia.com/2020/11/joe-biden-democrats-donald-trump-accountability-project/

Sorry Yearnin, I edited that post. It wasn't the Puerto Rico one it was Louisiana and Texas a couple hurricanes ago or several hurricanes ago. Actually they are veterans who saw the need and towed their boat to trouble spots and rescued people on their roofs, etc. they got some donations to buy some blankets, etc., while they were down there to bring to shelters. It was my example of people helping people outside of the realm of politics but it caused a firestorm.

Badger I really didn;'t want to link to five stories but I found three in about 20 seconds if you want me to. It's a simple google to find the stories.

I wasn't talking about Trump, he's old news, he's gone, the FORMER president. I'm talking about the common American and trying to suggest Americans can start working together as they do in crisis when they risk their own lives to help others. Trump's crimes are well known, but like I said, I'm moving on. He's gonzo. It's Joe time and I'd prefer unity in the USA as there was under Obama. at least I perceived us being relatively united under BO.

I could write an essay on all the heroes in the American public who drove their boats down there to help people. My point was Americans are inherently good to each other and band together when they need each other ... cept for politics. Talk about politics and it's screaming and hollering.

It backs up what I said about people pulling together in crisis, which you weirdly freaked out on me, not understanding my point. My point is people in America band together and help in times of crisis yet hit each other with bats over politics. Check your first sentence. Nice language again. Why the venom. Can't we just discuss things? I offered to depart this thread if people don't want my takes on this issue. The offer stands. Nobody has said please leave yet.

https://www.nationalreview.com/corner/democrats-want-you-to-move-to-georgia-to-vote-in-the-senate-runoffs/ Do a google it's all over the map

I have friends who drove their boat down there to immediately to rescue people. They are saints. Wanting to help their fellow man. They did it. I can prove it. My friends didn't ask their political affiliation. THEY HELPED. Not the Puerto Rico one, one of the other hurricanes, Louisiana, etc. I'd appreciate if you quit cussing at me.

I knew this was coming. Not saying it'll be good or bad but I pray the complete shutdown of the USA in January which could be coming, works on all levels. If toilet paper sells out again, I'm gonna scream BTW. https://www.outkick.com/are-we-heading-toward-another-long-term-lockdown/

What if I say I disagree with this assertion? You say it with such force like it's 100 percent the truth, no room for discussion. Not debatable? Are you saying half the country (close to half) that wants Donald to win exudes hatred 24/7? And are hateful people? Don't you see how divisive saying such things with 100 percent certainty can be? What if I picked something about Kamala or AOC or Joe and said something negative with the same forcefulness? I'm pretty sure my forceful "opinion" (your comment is an opinion not fact) would put me in the penalty box for a long long time.

The country is never divided when hurricanes blister the south or the coasts. Americans from all over the land join forces with the agencies and head to the trouble spots and save fellow Americans. They even tow their own boats to trouble spots down south to save people off their roofs and save people and their animals. But for some reason ... politics. We hate each other's guts and never stop. I read today Democrats are moving to Georgia so they can vote to get the Senate majority. The hatred between Trump Republicans and Democrats is insane especially considering Americans band together for things like attacks from foreign countries and natural disasters. It makes zero sense but this country is totally divided because of politics. But u wait until the next disaster hits ... we'll all help each other day and night. Makes zero sense we can't do it all the time and work together instead of beat each other with baseball bats and start fires in innocent businesses.

Commish IMO should suspend Tony 1-2 seasons. Does open a can of worms precedent however. I mean do it case by case. He's a Hall of Famer who is old. Inexcusable to make such bad decisions at that age/rank. SUSPEND HIM.

Jose is a class act. The whole news conference will be a shame if it's LaRussa dominated. Like you guys, I fear it'll be mostly LaRussa questions about an old guy managing the team and playing for a guy with a recent DUI and two lifetime DUIs. Sad.

Yeah I watched that clip just now.. I agree after watching that they are full of it and talking out of both sides of their mouths depending on what benefits their side. I would agree with you that they are biased. Why do I watch their clips then? I dunno. I think I tend to agree a lot with their takes on issues as they come up. I agree with you though; they obviously are biased on this issue; ripping Democrats in 2018 and not ripping Republicans for the same thing in 2020. Should they be fired for this? Maybe. This is a bad look for them and could be a fireable offense. I personally don't spend much time watching any TV thus yes the only time I do check clips it'd be Fox. Cuomo and Lemon make me too angry and I don't do the network political shows or MSNBC. In my limited time, the winners are: The Fox hosts for news snippages, Stern for car entertainment and a little music if I've heard the Stern replay too many times. Rush has lost out; local news shows forget it. Actually in a perfect world they'd just present the news, but political news coverage has totally changed. These shows are more opinion than straight news. The thing is, some channels won't even cover some of the things that interest me. Fox will, so Fox wins.

Now posts like that help healing instead of people wanting to demand apologies from those who support Trump. Your first sentence was gracious and would heal a lot of bad feelings following the election. You know a lot of people that support Trump realize he's a bad guy. But there are two sides. I won't list the reasons people would vote against the Democratic candidate because I'd probably get banned. But suffice it to say some people realize Trump is a bad, ruthless, selfish person and still have reasons to punch the ballot in his favor over Joe/Kamala or as some allege Kamala/Joe. Posts like yours would help the healing process as Joe called it instead of people like AOC wanting to get public apologies from those who backed Trump. Ralph on the Stern show said he'd never speak to any of his friends or relatives again if they voted for Trump. Too harsh when both sides have problems.

It's all politically slanted nowadays depending on the network. I actually don't watch any TV except live sports games and SNL. I do a youtube update on my phone every morning and will watch short clips of Tucker Carlson, Hannity or Laura while breakfasting if any of the headlines grab my interest ... I also will check CNN and FOX websites on my phone a few times a day and laugh at the polar opposite differences in the slant of their stories and what they are actually covering. I don't trust anybody. Today I see the guy who Fox said revealed cheating at the polls in Nevada, then told CNN he never said there was cheating, now insists there was cheating at the Nevada polls. My radio listening is only Stern. He's that funny. And to show how I don't get worked up about these things, Stern despises everything about Trump's politics, is a huge Biden supporter and it doesn't bother me a bit. I respect his opinion even though I don't agree with him politically most of the time.

You know what, I take exception to your line about how he should be acting as a patriot. Yes, some of us are VERY skeptical of both sides of the government. Yes some of us think it certainly could be fraudulent and yes some of us are worried about the Senate races in Georgia and how "fair" they will be. What I'm saying (and even though you may want me silenced or banned or whatever) a lot of US citizens do agree with me. Would I love to be wrong?? Of course. I am a proud American ready to honor my relatives and others on Veterans Day. But do I welcome an inspection of the voting in a close election? Yes I do. Sorry but that's how I feel. Am I skeptical? Yes. Does that make me a lousy American not just congratulating Joe? I don't think so but I suspect many of you do. My take is: if it's frivilous lawsuits wasting time, then definitely SLAP Rudy's wrists and give Trump everything he deserves, maybe even jail time if he's purposely wasting the court's time. BUT ... if there's fraud and it can be proven, prove it and rectify a possible wrong. If the attorneys on this site say this is frivilous, which they are doing, then I probably need to change my opinion as I do respect their honor.
