  1. @jefft5152  Why would I? I would never vote for a Republican. You think it's news that they are vile, and have been thoroughly vile since the Southern Strategy?

  2.  @jefft5152  This isn't the only video of his testimony before Congress that I've watched.

  3. @jefft5152  Yes, other videos that compare what Hotez had to say in 2020 about the danger in rushing a vaccine, especially against a coronavirus, with what he had to say when the "mot d'ordre" became vaccine mandates. You well know that posts with live links are removed from these boards, unless the person posting knows a way to hide such links from the algorithm (which I don't). The idea is that live links are too difficult to monitor for TOS violations. But you knew that. Your strategy is to ask anyway, for obvious reasons. Blocked for wasting my precious time. If your memory is poor, I hope it's not from some medical intervention. 🤣

  4. Uh huh. Now explain to me why this is the time for senile candidates and drag queen story hours. Right, it isn't. Get serious, will you?

  5.  @BigBadJerryRogers  Thank you. When my state was shut down for all of May, after we expected to come out of the harshest restrictions on May 1, I doubled down on precautions. Of course. This has become impossible.

  6. Wait. You think he knows history? In NYC, he might have picked up some buzz. Montenegrins are known to brag that they resisted the Ottomans.

  9. The bill is blatantly unconstitutional. The First Amendment protects stupid speech and stupid religious beliefs. No, I'm not kidding.

  10. @user-tw3kr9if1f  It means whatever the lobbyist with the most money says it means --- just like "reasonable gun law," which even Sandyhook and Uvalde can't get us to come to an agreement about.

  16. It is no longer available in my area. I don't believe it was withdrawn, but it is "disfavored."

  19. Everyone should look at Tyre's web page with his photography. It's remarkable. He was very gifted.

  20. I'm amazed he's a man.

  21.  @tinamiller9599  Supporting a no-fly zone even if it risks a nuclear war? That was what he said. No, he is not more upstanding than the rest of us, or doing anything "for humanity" with his rhetoric. What is needed is a cease-fire, not an escalation. My GOD. When did everyone lose their minds?

  22. The videos where Hotez FLATLY contradicts HIMSELF repeatedly and acts as a political shill instead of a doctor seal the deal for me. Hotez wanted to deprive everyone with perfectly legitimately concerns about the COVID vaccines of their civil rights and civil liberties. If the discussions with RFK Jr would be so unproductive, have one and show us.

  27.  @khenderson6689  I don't agree with that approach. People have to really love each other, then if children come into their lives, wonderful. A LOT of people find out for one reason or another that children are not in their future. If you plan to treat a woman like a mandated breeder, then expect to be interviewed and scrutinized. That's where that comes from. What else do you expect?

  28. Here's a woman's perspective: the last guy seriously interested in me made sure to flash his money (talked about his stock portfolio), said weird racist stuff about the people who were moving into the city, not realizing the same things could have been said about my own parents, then put words in my mouth that were of the same tone, which was scary, and THEN acted like he needed to "let me down gently," when I couldn't stand him. It was ridiculous. It was also clear that he felt sex was "dirty." He's divorced, in case you haven't guessed. This is creepy stuff. I hope no guy here would consider a woman with these traits. Yuck.

  30. @BigSnipp  Yes women are dying in childbirth. Check the stats. They went up a little in 2020, then soared in 2021. CDC numbers. Go look.

  31.  @billjameson1254  Oh shut up.

  32. @billjameson1254  1. You're right, you don't understand. 2. He wasn't rich. Nor do I care. It's crass to talk about money. That's the last thing I ever cared about. A capacity to deal with the world such as it is is essential, certainly. Money hoarding and money worship are not; it's a turn-off. 3. If you READ carefully, you'd have gleaned that he said racist things that could apply to my own family. That's an ugly discourse. Who delves into that? On a date?? 4. Then the stuff about sex -- at best, he has no ideals, and at worst he has issues, to put it euphemistically. 5. People of all different ages are here, including divorced people. Are you a gatekeeper? 6. I'm well past the age where a new life partner is important to me, and I'm culturally non-Western. I could never get along with the type of person I just described. 7. Not all women care about money. You think I should have played up to a lout? Why? 8. This one never got a kiss. 😅 As I said, no man should feel they have to put up with a woman who has the same traits as this guy. I hadn't thought of him in years. I do remember his first name, though. It took a moment.

  33. Masks protect others from infection much more than the wearer. Vaccines protect the vaccinated person from serious disease much more than they protect others.

  35. Get some sober people to drop the nonsense and negotiate an immediate cease-fire. "Fight . . . Whatever happens" means only one thing, more death. Chris Hedges was a war correspondent, listen to him. "Plummeting up a cliff?" "I don't know if no-fly zones will cause a nuclear war?" Insanity.

  36. Frank Zappa was almost right: "life is high school with money," except now it's 7th grade.

  38. No it can't. Columbine was in the last century, and it was not the first mass shooting. This is as "good" as it gets.

  40. @SentinalSlice  It's clear that you haven't studied the legal issue. "Hate speech" is not a category of unprotected speech under the First Amendment by any stretch. A business office or other private or restricted speech forum can ban it, but that's different. It's still free speech. You might be confusing it with "hate crime," which requires a predicate crime, and then looks to motive -- not unlike the difference between killing a spouse for insurance money, as opposed to having been battered weekly for two decades and then one day you snap.

  41.  @gc3117  I don't know that it's even true. Reports of flares causing that fire may or may not be accurate. They call it the fog of war for a reason.

  42.  @Nazman06  Well. What is your opinion of what he said?

  43.  @earvetta  Everyone has HIPPA rights. The EUA vaccine release forms all say that if, after reading them, you decline the vaccine, YOUR MEDICAL CARE WILL BE UNAFFECTED.

  44.  @shidfard  Never let these people influence you for or against vaccination. Tune them out. They deserve none of your precious time. If you are against taking these vaccines for now, remain ready to change your mind.

  45. @Plodding Dream Do people really not know that you have a federally protected right to privacy in the hospital? There are pages of permissions, waivers, hold harmless forms that must be signed. Did you think a camera crew can just show up, "in the public interest?" It's not in everyone's interest to be on television like this. They might lose a job, or not get hired, etc. This is not a favorable report!

  46. @Plodding Dream Okay you're right.

  47. @Plodding Dream Law offers protections, including privacy protections, for everyone. Supposedly. Well, it used to. Okay. Never mind.

  49. @jtomczak100  If this feels weird, just wait until they start divorcing. Hope not to find out the details -- trust me, you don't want to know.

  50.  @PolyMadd  It's extremely important to find a job where there are smarter people than you. If you don't, you will suffer every day. That's just how it is.
