Well remember, killing people wont get you fired, just ask Cuomo.  Ti++y grabbing, @ss grabbing, begging for sex from your employees and state troopers will...well if you do it for long enough and your brother who covers for you on CNN happens to be on vacation.  Just ask Cuomo.

Unless you are Trump and enabled by other felons.

Is this guy maybe the biggest moron out there

Texas' governor is now asking for out-of-state help for COVID surge after banning mask mandates

Sorry guys, you can't have your cake (banning mask mandates) and eating it too (having Covid bypass your state)


This guy is killing people, really and he is still in office while, well we'll leave it at that.

You are insulting morons now, Lenn with calling this guy one.

Painter,
Sometimes, as history has shown us, and yes, we could all learn much from studying history, great civilizations eventually tumble due to many different circumstances, mostly brought on not by an invasion or war, but by their own bloat and mistakes. Sadly, the way things are now, we are heading in that direction. It won't happen overnight and maybe not in any of our lifetimes, but that is the direction it is going.

I also love the diplomatic response "Well it's a personal decision and I respect that." So it's a personal decision not to get vaccinated and in doins go you are endangering others and most likely your loved ones who also are not, or cannot, be vaccinated. The decision is a selfish one. Let's call it what it is.

Get vaccinated or get sick. It's your choice and it has nothing to do with politics.

Right now I see more cars on the road than I've ever seen before. Here in the NYC metro area it is not sustainable. Hopefully the numbskulls in Washington will get their sheet together and starting working on bridges, tunnels and most importantly improving this country's truly pathetic rail system.

I come to realize none of you guys really understand how science works.  You all are posting articles and making claims.   This isn't politics.  The loudest an the most articles doesn't "win".   In science we sit back and wait for the results from the data and the studying.   I can understand why Donald Trump betrayed his country to ask the Ukraine to investigate Biden.   You guys wouldn't care to wait for results you would have just said he is guilty.


That said, I disagree with Biden setting a timeline for a report.   That is not how you achieve proper or good results.   An investigation should be allowed to take the time it needs

Everything is politics with these guys. It's fed to then constantly by Fox, News max
, and other hate machines.

kat: I don't know your age but I'm assuming you've been around about as long as I have... to live this long waiting for good leaders to step up (without results) is disconcerting.  Bob

I'm old, Bob. So the wait continues. But there is no other alternative, sadly.

kat: Good one. The truth will come out. I don't know what it might be, but IMO this is a matter of great significance to all of humanity... so IMO we must persevere until there are definitive answers.  Bob

Yes it is, but for now we just have to wait for real answers, stop slinging mud around, and find out the truth.

I thought Covid and its origins were a diabolical plot cooked up by Fauci and aided by CNN to cover up for China so they could rake in billions on PPE and ratings for CNN. In fact, it might have been Dr. Evil who unleashed the virus on the world  using the not to be trusted Chinese as his own cover. Where is Austin Powers to solve this crime???

kat: I agree. Sadly, I don't see what you and I are hoping for on the immediate horizon.  Too many people (Iran, for one) have much to gain IMO by not allow the situation to be resolved).  Bob

I agree that it won't happen tomorrow or probably for years. But someone has to step up on both sides. The Israeli PM can't even form a government. His way has been bad from the get go. While Hamas can only promote martyrdom. And Abbas is ancient and ineffective, controlled by Hamas. New leaders on both sides please with new ideas.

We can demonize the entire Palestinian population and call them Hamas or led by the Iranians which isn't true. If you want to wipe that population off the face of the earth because of your dislike of Muslims that is your choice but please don't forget the many Christians living in Palestine. Here's a good article from Christianity today about this issue. https://www.christianitytoday.com/news/2020/august/palestinian-christians-survey-israel-emigration-one-state.html

The concerns of the Palestinian Christians surveyed bear this out.

About 8 in 10 worry about attacks from Jewish settlers and being driven from their homes (83%). About 7 in 10 worry about Israeli annexation (67%). And about 6 in 10 believe Israel

My all-time favorite Clint movie is 'The Outlaw Josie Wales. Gosh, if I see it on, anytime, I just keep watching it
Second, as most have already mentioned is Unforgiven--Me, a sucker for a good western and this is like dying and going to that special place in heaven. Without a doubt, one of the top 3 westerns of all time.
Third, I would also say The Good, The Bad, and the Ugly. True, it was a spaghetti western, but unlike the first two, here was a real story and Clint was able to act, instead of just puffing that silly cigarette and shooting 50 people per movie.

Surprised no one mentioned the Dirty Harry series.

Dirty Harry was a classic of its time. But that's what it was, of the time. The other movies you mentioned are timeless.

Unforgiven is a masterpiece. Clear number one.
Outlaw Josey Wales
The Good, The Bad, The Ugly directed by Sergio Leone.
