Since being named the best writer in Washtenaw County a few days ago, I’ve been in a bit of a funk. I’d written something last night about a piece of artwork that I’d recently acquired depicting an early human ancestor eating an oyster for the first time, and my plan to hang it in the bathroom of the new restaurant I just helped open, but then it occurred to me that what I’d written, which, for some reason, was full of profanity, likely wasn’t befitting our region’s “best” writer. So I sat back and waited for Donald Trump to do something noteworthy that I could wax poetic about. And, thankfully, I didn’t have to wait too long, as news broke that Donald Trump was intending to use the Department of Justice to defend him against the charge of rape. But, then, as I was writing about the allegations brought against the President by journalist E. Jean Carroll, and the unprecedented moves by Attorney General William Barr to have the DOJ intercede on Trump’s behalf, this happened.
Here's Trump, 20 days after telling Bob Woodward that Coronavirus was "5 times deadlier than the flu", telling Americans that COVID-19 was "just like the flu".
Nearly 200k Americans have died.
200k more will die by January 1, 2021.#TrumpKnew pic.twitter.com/6eQu4id61C— Holly Figueroa O'Reilly (@AynRandPaulRyan) September 9, 2020
That’s right… Audio was released today of Donald Trump telling journalist Bob Woodward on February 7 of this year that he was well aware of COVID-19 being extremely “deadly,” and much worse than the flu, while he was, at the very same time, intentionally misleading the American people as to the seriousness of the disease…. something which he admitted to Woodward in a later, March 19 conversation, which was also recorded. “I wanted to always play it down,” the President can be heard saying.
As of today, COVID-19 — the virus that Donald Trump assured us repeatedly was relatively harmless has left 195,239 Americans dead. And we now know that it was a conscious decision on his part to “play down” the risk, likely because he thought it would be his personal advantage. [Let’s remember this is also the man who disbanded the pandemic response team within the National Security Council and shut down the international pandemic preparedness program charged with the “detection and discovery of zoonotic diseases at the wildlife-human interface.”] How it is that the American people are not, at this very minute, dragging him from the White House, is absolutely beyond me. He not only created the circumstances so that the virus could get a foothold, but, once it was spreading, he consciously made the decision to lie about how deadly it was, so that it could sweep across the United States. And now nearly 200,000 of our friends and relatives are dead.
In an attempt to defend the indefensible, Donald Trump today said that he played down the threat of COVID-19 because he “(didn’t) want people to be frightened” or “create panic”. This, of course, is bullshit. Trump, as we know, is all about stoking fear. Just listen to one of his speeches about imaginary caravans of diseased, South American gang members headed toward our boarder, or read what he’s had to say about the death and destruction that awaits us should Joe Biden and his Antifa overlords find their way to power. It’s true that he didn’t want incite panic in this instance, but it was the potential of panic on Wall Street that he was thinking about. He didn’t care about working men and women. He didn’t care about the public health of American citizens. If he did, he would have urged people to wear masks, and told what he knew to be true early on, which is that the virus is airborne, and 5-times more deadly than the flu. If he’d done that, and urged Americans to wear masks at the outset, and listen to public health professionals, tens of thousands of Americans would still be alive today. He didn’t, though. He prioritized the stock market, thinking that the secret to reelection was the economy, and now nearly 200,000 Americans are dead. This is the price we’ve paid for electing a narcissistic conman to office. And one hopes we never forget it.
If you haven’t already, please like and share this video from the Lincoln Project… and make sure everyone you know is registered to vote. Now is our chance to set this right, America.

Tucker Carlson suggesting that Lindsey Graham set Trump up by putting him and Woodward together.
You’re probably not even the best writer on your block.
No offense.
Who’s turn was it to be babysitting the President when these calls from Woodward came in? That’s who Tucker should be blaming.
Mark, the short answer is that we are all tired. I’ve written more letters, marched in more protests, etc, in the last four years than in my previous 56 combined. The continual pumping of stress hormones cannot be healthy.
It looks like the virus is not as deadly as the mainstream media first made it out to be.
I’m thinking the mass death of black and brown people was seen as a feature not a bug. Now it’s 1918.2 and the fascist are conniving keeping power in the chaos of a pandemic. Steven Miller rubs hands sinisterly.
“I’ll get you something that’s sort of cool,” Trump said, picking up the phone on the Resolute Desk, asking for pictures of himself with North Korean leader Kim Jong Un at the Demilitarized Zone.
“This is me and him,” Trump said. “That’s the line, right? Then I walked over the line. Pretty cool. You know? Pretty cool. Right?” On June 30, 2019, Trump became the first US president to set foot in North Korea.
Trump continued, “nobody’s ever done that. I mean, they’re cool pictures when you — you know, when you talk about iconic pictures, how about that?”
Zing, Herman! Can’t wait for the mental gymnastics about to unfold here.
So much for the Leader wanting to protect us, come on in virus you are welcome here

Recently we learned only 6% of “covid deaths” are from covid alone. 94% had an average of 2.6 comorbidities (diabetes, heart disease, obesity, etc.) Now we find out that out of all positive tests some 90% are insignificant traces that could never make the person sick or be transmitted to anyone else. They are over-amplifying the DNA in the PCR tests by many times to get positive results. So how is this whole thing not a big fuckin’ LIE???
Some folks believe Woodward is as guilty of crimes against humanity as Trump

Summary execution of lefty activists has begun, much to Faceless Fash’s glee no doubt. Fash always act out of hubris and forget about karma right up to the point that their festering corpse is on public display.

Communist pig.
“Other witnesses told The Olympian the night of the shooting that Rienoehl had a gun, and they reported hearing dozens of gunshots fired before Reinoehl lay dead in the street. An officer was caught on one witness’ video doing CPR on Reinoehl as he was motionless in the street.
Police have said Reinoehld was found with a handgun but have not said if he fired any shots at officers.”
JBro!
I am against the use of excessive force. I support an investigation into whether or not the police broke the law whenever the deadly force is used.
I do wish you would learn to read though. If you smarten-up a bit you could avoid a lot of unnecessary embarrassment.
“No doubt”—J Bro
JBro does not doubt things that are untrue. Ok.
What’s true is that dead men tell no tales.
Congrats on the award! And the restaurant! And the art too I guess :)
Every now and then something happens that actually lowers my opinion of Trump and his supporters. This is one of those times. I honestly thought he was just too stupid to realize the danger but now it seems that he did know and deliberately decided to just let thousands die because he was worried about the PR? Fuck him and fuck anyone who still supports him after this. Anyone who supports him after this is pretty much saying that they are ok with so many dying and thus are deplorable people.
Trump is a murderer. Pure and simple.
Panic saves lives.
Trump trying to scare his base with his wild stories on ANTIFA is in no way trying to induce panic. It is all about who is panicking and why. Covid is just like the flu—quick look over there ANTIFA is running amuck in Democratic cities and the are coming to suburbia next— be afraid be very afraid.
Setting an example by wearing a mask and telling his base that social distancing and wearing a mask will help save lives would have saved tens of thousands of lives. Please spare us the BS about messaging regarding masks at the outset of the pandemic as Trump himself knew that it was airborne spread.
Knowledge saves lives.
Confusius,
We have the dead man on video telling tall tales.
If you think antifa just “stories” you are ignorant as shit. There are hours and hours of vids showing exactly what they do.
Yes, this sounds bad, but can you imagine how many would be dead right now in America had Hillary become president. Her insufficient email security alone would have killed tens of millions. Wake up, sheeple.
Your right you can see the smoke drifting over Portland right now.

Oh wait that is from all the forest fires burning out of control, fed by global warming. Something else the Leader surely knows is an existential crises, but in his infinite wisdom does not want to panic us about. MAGA
I wonder how the “Biden Will Murder Us More” campaign will be received.
Wobblie –
480,000 acres burned last week in eastern Washington. The smoke has been pouring in over the cascades since Monday. Fun stuff. 480,000 acres is equal to 750 square miles. That is larger than Washtenaw county ( 722 square miles ). 300,000 acres burned in Oregon so far. 2,500,000 acres in California.
I tried to impress on my climate change denying family members back in SE Michigan the scale of the destruction. The total burned so far is 5,156 square miles. That is equal to all of Washtenaw, Wayne, Oakland, Livingston, Macomb, Monroe, and Lenawee County + about a quarter of St Clair county….. So all of SE Michigan… in a few weeks… up in smoke. And the tinder keg is just growing. There are huge stands of dead trees up in the cascades that have died in recent years due to drought stress and parasites with longer breeding seasons. When I was in Monterey last summer, I saw the Monterey Pines that are dying along the coast. None of the goddam climate change deniers have any good explanation for this. But they sure as hell know that the fires are being started by anarchists.
Death isn’t that serious.
I’m dead, but not too dead to tweet.
An arsonist was arrested for starting wildfires just the other day. You lie so fuckin’ bad, wobblie.
That one was in Oregon. Another man was arrested two days ago for starting numerous fires in California. Why is everything you say a lie?

I believe Wobblie is arguing that the drought conditions are a consequence of climate destabilization.
HW –
Anarchist and Arsonist are not synonyms…. at least not among people who are not suffering from cannabis induced encephalitis.
An anarchist could also be an arsonist, like the ones whose repressed urges surface when they are in an agitated state and near dumpsters and/or federal buildings. But pure fire bugs just like to burn things and don’t need an ideology to animate their actions.
I am fine with an enlightened form of anarchy. I hope we develop to a level where each human being is responsible for their self and values the lives of others. I don’t think your comment is relevant. Antifa are anarcho-communists. Very different from the simplest definition of anarchy: without government. You can never outsmart me no matter how much weeeed I smoke. Keep trying. It’s entertaining to see you fail.
It’s deforestation, not that vague shit you said on wobblie’s behalf.
The Trump rally in Tulsa was so worth it.
Good news, Herman: You are 90% likely to have been misdiagnosed. It was probably just a regular old death.
I ain’t no white trash piece of shit. I’m better than you all! I can out-learn you. I can out-read you. I can out-think you. And I can out-philosophize you. And I’m gonna outlast you. You think a couple whacks to my guts is gonna get me down? It’s gonna take a hell of a lot more than that, Counselor, to prove you’re better than me!
That’s a relief. Thank you Doctor Warlord.
No problem. The fault is in the number of times the sample is amplified in PCR testing. Over 30x and there could be increased risk of false positives. 40x is considered by experts to result in unusable data.
Maybe you can convince FF. But I think you lost EOS on that one.
Not that antifa doesn’t commit arson.

How do we know that the dead are really dead? Might it not be possible that they’re only sleeping? Did anyone put mirrors under the noses of the “dead”? Did anyone try tickling them? These are things we need to know. We are Q. We demand answers!
It is a fact that people die of those many co-morbidities all the time. It is also a fact that the “covid death toll” is comprised of all covid-RELATED deaths, meaning anyone who died who had a positive covid test is considered part of the death toll. It’s in everyone’s face but you don’t want to know. You want to use numbers that are ridiculous on the face of it. A lot of those people were going to die anyway. The misuse of the PCR test causing false positives is another nail in the covid coffin.
Trump needs you in his administration, HW. You certainly have the metal for it.
What do we here have to do to get your talents in front of the president? Only he could truly appreciate your insight.
HW logic implies that the cause of death is life. Psychopathic! Sad!
HW. Yes and that is why comparing death rates is important. We know how many people die on average from things like heart disease, diabetes, even the flu. We can compare those numbers to the death rates now to get an idea of how many additional deaths are probably due to COVID. I get it that it is painful for you to admit you are wrong but you are wrong to deny the seriousness of this disease.
It’s about as compassionate a disease as could be hoped for: It spares the young; even those with compromised immune systems. Almost all it’s victims are quite ill to begin with and the vast majority are elderly.
It’s even PC. No notable spread during the massive and sustained antifa and blm protests/riots. It’s amazing what nature can do.
Had the BLM rallies and protests been indoors and largely without social distancing or masks, they would have been super-spreader events. It’s not rocket science.
I forgot to mention police cars. Police cars, dumpsters, and federal buildings. Stay away from those, HW. They could be triggers.
I’m Trump’s biggest dead fan.
HW is right. Sure I had COVID-19, but that’s not what killed me. I was going to die anyway.
This is all just a distraction from the real issue…
…Nancy Pelosi’s hairdressing appointment.
From Live Science:
Viral claim that only 6% of COVID-19 deaths were caused by the virus is flat-out wrong
https://www.livescience.com/covid-19-comorbidities.html
That’s not the correct claim to try to deal with. In other words it’s a straw man. The fact they need to answer to is the CDC revealing that only six percent of covid deaths had no comorbidities. 96% had an average of 2.6 other deadly diseases or conditions.
94% had an average of….
Yeah, it’s the kindest, most gentle disease of all time. Only taking the suffering and sparing those with good lives left to live who weren’t probably going to die then already. So nice a disease.
You don’t seem to be aware of the fact that this is generally how viruses cause death. Victims are weakened against any and all ailments essentially. That’s what makes viruses potentially so dangerous.
“Had the BLM rallies and protests been indoors and largely without social distancing or masks, they would have been super-spreader events. It’s not rocket science.”
Some people were wearing masks it is true. A lot of those are more to conceal identity though. Antifa has been doing it for a long time and rioters and looters too.
Social distancing is out the window obviously. That’s ridiculous to claim that. You can’t use only the best behaved protests. Those can’t erase all the other shit.
Minnie vol 1
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=R4FugBrlMVo
The groups that didn’t socially distance and which had few people wearing masks did cause some added spread. Indoor events caused considerably more by comparison, for obvious reasons.
What are your thoughts on the topic of this thread? Was there anything inconsistent between what Trump said to Woodward and what he said publicly in your perception?
Do you feel he did downplay the threat to avoid panic?
Or do you feel he didn’t downplay the threat?
vol 2 the second night
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oBOIXqjkiIs
What good would panicking do? I think dem leaders downplayed the threat. They totally disregarded it as I have shown before. They told people to go out and don’t worry about it way after the President’s ban on China travel and subsequent bans. Your boy said it was xenophobic and hysterical.
What I particularly like the DOJ argument in the Carrol lawsuit, that Trump was acting within the scope of his role as a federal employee when he made lied and defamed her. In other words the DOJ is arguing that it is part of the Presidents job to lie to Americans, and if necessary defame them.
I suspect that Barr would also argue that Trump killing 200000 of us was a necessary job requirement as well.
Trump called the Democrats’ alarmism a hoax, didn’t he?
Fuckin’ wack-a-wob
Not sure that is what he was calling a hoax. I seem to recall it was their criticism of his policies that he was referring to.
The impression most people got was that he was calling the alarmist comments from Democrats a hoax.
Wisconsin is being setup as the state where Trump steals the election. The Democrats in their anti-democratic best blocked the Green Party from being on the November ballot. The Green Party has been one of 5 recognized parties in Wisconsin, Michigan has 7). By denying them a position on the ballot they have forced the Greens to go to court to protect their access to the ballot. The Wisconsin Supreme Court is controlled by the death cult. They will ultimately rule that the Green Party can be on the ballot. They will wait to issue this ruling long enough to fuck with mail in voting.
Are Democrats really that stupid, or are they facilitating Trump?

HW’s ‘compassionate’ disease has long term side affects even among those with the most mild cases. We are just beginning to understand these. One thing we do know now, Covid-19 is a vascular disease not a lung ailment and, as such ,can potentially affect almost any part of the body for a short time or for the long haul.
https://www.sciencemag.org/news/2020/07/brain-fog-heart-damage-covid-19-s-lingering-problems-alarm-scientists
Most people have no idea what the fuck is going on so why put stock in their impressions?
“Now the Democrats are politicizing the coronavirus. You know that, right? Coronavirus. They’re politicizing it. We did one of the great jobs. You say, ‘How’s President Trump doing?’ They go, ‘Oh, not good, not good.’ They have no clue. They don’t have any clue. They can’t even count their votes in Iowa, they can’t even count. No they can’t. They can’t count their votes.
One of my people came up to me and said, ‘Mr. President, they tried to beat you on Russia, Russia, Russia. That didn’t work out too well. They couldn’t do it. They tried the impeachment hoax. That was on a perfect conversation. They tried anything, they tried it over and over, they’ve been doing it since you got in. It’s all turning, they lost, it’s all turning. Think of it. Think of it. And this is their new hoax. But you know, we did something that’s been pretty amazing. We’re 15 people [cases of coronavirus infection] in this massive country. And because of the fact that we went early, we went early, we could have had a lot more than that.
Fash in Oregon conducting propaganda campaign that antifa are deliberately starting fires – to justify more summary executions by right wing gunmen. They are all in on starting armed political violence.
FF: Truthseeker claiming that COVID killed a disproportionate number of vulnerable people in Michigan that could have been prevented through different actions.
HW: Truthseeker claiming that COVID did not kill a disproportionate number of vulnerable people in Michigan that could not be prevented because they were going to die anyway.
There can be only one.

GEO’s Health and Safety strike is spreading to other employee units within the University,
Hi All,
We really need everyone who is able to show up in solidarity with the GEO strike going on right now!
GEO (the graduate student labor union) is on strike right now over demands for a safe and just campus. In addition to demands to protect workers and students in the face of the university’s blatant disregard for our lives during this pandemic, there are also explicitly abolitionist demands calling for the defunding of DPSS, cutting ties with ICE and military-contractors, and more.
Supporting this strike means:
1. Striking in solidarity – do not attend classes!
2. Talk to your peers and professors so they understand that attending or “filling in” for classes where the GSI is striking is crossing the picket line
3. Join us on the picket line! Strength comes in numbers, so please, bring buckets, drums, megaphones, signs and join the picket. In-person picket shifts are from 8-11AM, 11AM-2PM, and 2PM-5PM tomorrow and Friday with an extension vote pending on Friday. Go to the Diag to get an assignment or just join a picket you pass by on Central or North campus.
4. If you are not comfortable with an in-person picket, join a virtual picket and call/email Schlissel and the Regents
We are in a truly unique moment on campus right now with Grad student workers on strike, a pending strike vote from faculty, Residential Assistants on strike, and a planned walkout by MDining this Friday. Together, we can work for a campus-wide strike and force the university to prioritize the health and safety of all students and staff on campus, not just the wealthy and the white.
Feel free to let me know if you have any questions.
-Sasha
The GEO strike is not just for them, it is for all our health and safety.
About three weeks ago, the University of Mississippi started its fall semester, bringing students from around the country back to Lafayette County. The university had hoped its mix of in-person and online classes and mask-wearing guidelines, among other measures, would be enough to prevent an outbreak.
On paper, the college appears to be doing well. According to recent numbers, the University of Mississippi has recorded about 430 confirmed cases since Aug. 24, the first day of classes in Oxford, and still has plenty of housing for those who have been infected or exposed to the virus.
Data in Lafayette County, home to the Mississippi flagship, paint a starker picture. An analysis by USA TODAY shows the county has one of the highest per-capita rates of coronavirus infections in the country, at 1,053 COVID-19 cases per 100,000 people in the last two weeks.
The rising positive cases were expected with the return of students, but the increase remains concerning, said Oxford Mayor Robyn Tannehill. Oxford is both a college town and a place where people come to retire. In the past month, Tannehill said, 26 residents at a local veterans’ home have died in connection to the coronavirus.
Regarding the conspiracy theory surrounding the source of the fires. Appears to be a Q-based misinformation campaign:
https://www.nytimes.com/2020/09/10/us/antifa-wildfires.html?action=click&module=Top%20Stories&pgtype=Homepage
Q did not say that.
It will be interesting to see if anyone put those responsible up to it though. Do you think it’s just random pyromaniacs all losing control of their impulses at once?
“HW: Truthseeker claiming that COVID did not kill a disproportionate number of vulnerable people in Michigan that could not be prevented because they were going to die anyway.”
It might be a real cause of death but I am confident the death toll is overblown.
Vague Guy,
I accept the death match proposed by you under one condition. Before HW and I go into the octagon I want you to ask HW a simple question: “FF thinkS we should take common sense approaches to try to protect the people who are most vulnerable to the virus , do you too? “
Get back to me with his answer soon. Ok, Vague Guy?
HW-
I am not supportive of the property destruction, looting, and arson that has been going on at the protests. This was an opportunity for a discussion about racial inequality led by those affected by it, but instead it has turned into a circus… a circus in which most of the actors are white people running their mouths off and drowning out the voices of those who have direct experience with and something to say on the issue.
The antifa moniker is just a bunch of crap. Their thoughts and actions are both disordered, and that is all they have to offer is disorder. I don’t think they can even achieve the organizational capacity of a motorcycle gang. They are a heap of disorganized individuals with nothing meaningful to say. If they were truly concerned about the issues of racial inequality, they’d be comporting themselves, listening to the expressed concerns and deliberating over the proposed changes. Instead…. dumpster fires. To conflate them with BLM is not right.
The Q community is just as bad. They are acting as amplifiers for every bullshit story that is put forward without a moments thought… the online version of dumpster fires and castles in the sky. The only diffference is the people selling you swag are putting Q’s on the merch rather than a circle A.
What about the…brutal beatings and murders? Q does not condone that but antifa/blm does it.
I have put up videos that anyone can watch of Rose City Antifa’s powerpoint training sessions. Do not tell me they are not organized.
Who is the spokesperson for any of those so called organizations? BLM is just a number of local chapters with different stances on what they are asking for… no centralized organizational structure that I am aware of. Antifa is just a disordered mess. And are you kidding me with the Q thing? Does Q speak for the whole community of lemmings with no open discussion / disagreement / resolution? It is an autocratic organization at best, with an autocrat that may or may not even be a human being.
It does not take much for a crowd to be turned into a mob. It does not even take that much to get someones lid flipped and have them do things they would never consider doing or thinking when under control of themselves…. acting out of anger / fear / hate.
Why make pronouncements about something you know nothing of? You know nothing of Q. You could know but you don’t want to. For example exactly what bullshit stories do you think Q “amplifies”? Do you even know where to read Q? Ever read a Q post in your life except perhaps what I have posted here? Find me a Q post you think is bullshit and quote it.
It took .0024 seconds to find:
The originators of the hashtag and call to action, Alicia Garza, Patrisse Cullors, and Opal Tometi, expanded their project into a national network of over 30 local chapters between 2014 and 2016.
Trained marxists by their own admission. That’s who started and expanded it.
Just shut. The fuck. UP.
https://blacklivesmatter.com/our-leadership/
FF, can you define what common sense would be in a manner that is accepted by both you and HW, and the rest of the paying audience? What if common sense was not an accurate measure of effective action? We know the earth is round, but that isn’t because of common sense. It’s because of common science. Humans have very poor intuitive numeracy when working with exponents, which is what understanding a pandemic entails.
Got my marching orders from Uncle Vlad. Had to watch the useful idiot Lee Camp interview with fellow traveler Greg Palast to get the details on how Trump will loose the popular vote, but win the election in Congress. I wonder how much the Democratic plans in their Transition Integrity Plan dovetails with the Trump strategy? Or will there be a “Grand Compromise ” like 1876. Getting to know the 12th Amendment and Article II clauses 2,3 and 4 of the US Constitution would seem like a good idea.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2dJu0yHhU9s
Like this election year, civil disturbances were used by the parties to control electoral votes.
The South Carolina civil disturbances of 1876 were a series of race riots and civil unrest related to the Democratic Party’s political campaign to take back control from Republicans of the state legislature and governor’s office through their paramilitary Red Shirts division. Part of their plan was to disrupt Republican political activity and suppress black voting, particularly in counties where populations of whites and blacks were close to equal. Former Confederate general Martin W. Gary’s “Plan of the Campaign of 1876” gives the details of planned actions to accomplish this.
Wikipedia
They have ran these plays on us before. If we are going to defend Democracy, it is important to recognize the plays they are using.
Your comment is awaiting moderation.

Like this election year, civil disturbances were used by the parties to control electoral votes.
The South Carolina civil disturbances of 1876 were a series of race riots and civil unrest related to the Democratic Party’s political campaign to take back control from Republicans of the state legislature and governor’s office through their paramilitary Red Shirts division. Part of their plan was to disrupt Republican political activity and suppress black voting, particularly in counties where populations of whites and blacks were close to equal. Former Confederate general Martin W. Gary’s “Plan of the Campaign of 1876” gives the details of planned actions to accomplish this.

They have ran these plays on us before. If we are going to defend Democracy, it is important to recognize the plays they are using.
Well, thank you for clearing up the BLM organizational structure for me.
Maybe you can save me some more time and help me understand how Qanon is or is not an organization. When Q does presentations, is that enough to qualify as an organization?
Vague Guy,
I confess: I never had any intention to go into the octagon against HW. I trust that HW and I have a common sense definition of the term “common sense”. You are the one who is oddly trying to organize a “death match“ around a disagreement where there isn’t one. You are in large part “Vague Guy” because you seem extremely inept at even identifying the issues let alone argue a side of an issue. You are good at making yourself believe you know what is going on though. Vagueness serves a function in your life, my guy.
Presentations? Hahahaha, what are you trying to say? I think you have to decide whether to find out how to begin reading Q or keep stabbing in the dark.
I think this comments section would be a better place if people were not posting anonymously.
I don’t agree with everything Jean says, but at least she has the courage to reveal herself and stand by what she says.
Dave, over the years I have given far more than enough information for the curious to id me. I do not put my name out there every day because in the past I’ve had rocks, death threats, and arson deployed against my home and businesses. Why do I want to make it easy for loonies. Jean Henry is a brave lady.

President Trump said Thursday that he would “very quickly” stifle riots on Election Night if Democrats organize protests against his potential victory, suggesting he would do so by employing a law allowing him to deploy active-duty troops domestically.
“We’ll put them down very quickly if they do that. We have the right to do that, we have the power to do that if we want,” Trump told Fox News host Jeanine Pirro when asked how he would stop potential riots on election night should he win.
“Look, it’s called insurrection. We just send in and we do it, very easy. I mean, it’s very easy. I’d rather not do that because there’s no reason for it, but if we had to we’d do that and put it down within minutes,” Trump continued.
…
The president’s interview with Pirro was taped Thursday but is expected to air Saturday evening.
We can expect Trump to claim victory on Nov. 3-4. The Democrats will call for mass protest to defend the vote–which will still be in the process of being counted. Expect right wing provocations and false flag attacks. Trump uses the insurrection act to stop the “rioting” and coincidently the vote count.
Why does Vlad have me sharing this kind of misinformation?
A lot of those soldiers had other health conditions when they were hit by a projectile. Those suckers were going to die anyway. Am I right?
Wobblie-
Understood.. and agreed.
Thanks Dave. Same back at you. If you don’t have the courage to stand behind your words (which let’s face it is the courage to be both wrong and offensive) then I don’t know why anyone writes their opinions at all. . The instances in which anonymity is required are few and far between. It would never occur to me to write anonymously unless under actual threat. Accountability helps keep a person honest. Lastly, the person assuming risk is really Mark. It’s his real name up there. Give him some credit.
Wobblie,
Because it’s a no lose proposition for Vlad. Sowing the paranoia of agent orange misbehaving is a useful precursor for conditioning the population to be ready to react on que to agent oranges misbehaving. It’s been obvious we’re careening into a calamitous catch-22 since Putin’s bitch first crushed the legit candidates in the last primary. Which led me to conclude that if we’re likely to be forced to fight for democracy anyways, we might as well have the tools for the job.
Dave,
I am not saying you do it. You don’t. But Mark’s site is not only a shameless propaganda machine it is also a cha-Ching machine for public virtue signaling. If I was willing to lie to fit in the overwhelming “orthodox opinion” of Ypsi/ AA then I would be getting in on some of that cha-Ching too. I just can’t bring myself to do it—because it is immoral.
People who break with local orthodoxy use caution with the expression of their opinion BECAUSE (!) they are aware of who holds the power and who is willing to wield that gross power against people who do not fall in line with the orthodoxy. How is that not obvious? Wow.
Jean –
I admire Mark as well for his willingness to speak his mind and not hide behind some moniker while doing it. He has heard about my run ins, but it never occurred to me to ask him if he has gone through similar. Sorry Mark. I’ll bring it up next time we have a beer together.
FF –
I see the fear of exclusion working its magic among conservatives as well. I don’t entirely disagree with you, but your critical approach might be more effective if you were attempting to lead people to some common ground rather than scold them for virtue signaling or perceived faulty reasoning.. I have (for the most part ) enjoyed engaging in dialogues with you and EOS, but there is no winning involved here. It is about being compelling rather than coercive.
BLM activist Jeffrey Demologik Acord arrested for starting fire in Oregon.

It’s like everything else you people say: it’s only a matter of time until it falls apart. Often, like today it takes almost no time at all.
FF– I don’t know what you are talking about re orthodoxy. I think it’s evident enough that as a woman with a point of view and a strong voice (which I do not confuse with being right), I piss off a lot of people on all sides. There has been no major consequence. No one really cares that much about your politics so long as you come to them with heart, thought and intention and you treat others fairly in discourse. That last piece is where you fall off. The toxic combo of righteousness and double standards is tiresome and it’s just not worth the effort after a piece to engage with you. Your arguments wear thin but your conceit never wanes.
For those who want to play the Article 2, Amendment 12 game.
“The person having the greatest number of votes for President, shall be the President, if such number be a majority of the whole number of Electors appointed; and if no person have such majority, then from the persons having the highest numbers not exceeding three on the list of those voted for as President, the House of Representatives shall choose immediately, by ballot, the President. But in choosing the President, the votes shall be taken by states, the representation from each state having one vote; a quorum for this purpose shall consist of a member or members from two-thirds of the states, and a majority of all the states shall be necessary to a choice.”
Despite a Democratic Party majority in the House, 28 state delegations have a majority of Republican Representatives. Pennsylvania is split. Michigan is likely to be split as well since Amash is leaving. Florida could end up with a split delegation. You need 26 votes to be made President. It sure looks to me that Trump could very well have those in the bag.
So the question is, how does Trump get the election into the House of Representatives. Both the 2000 election and the 1876 election provide examples. In the 2000 case, litigation over the allocation of Florida’s electoral vote resulted in a Supreme Court Case that in essence awarded that states electoral votes to Bush. In 1876, which this election is likely to look more like, competing certifications of state elections from Florida, Louisiana, and South Carolina, were presented to the President of the Senate. As a result of these contested results, neither candidate had a majority of the electoral votes. The House of Representatives are forbidden to decided the election until January 20th. In that period of time between the electoral college vote tabulation (Jan. 3) and the 20th. The Senate can attempt to resolve the electoral college issues (assuming the Supreme Court does not do another Bush v Gore to us) in that 17 day period. That was how the “Grand Compromise” of 1876 was created.
In 2000 Bush v Gore was decided on the 13th of December, well before the Electoral College was to meet on December 18. If the Supreme Court had not ruled by the 18th. the Florida election would not have been certified, and would have resulted in the election going to the House of Representatives. As in 2000 the Republicans controled a majority of House delegations
I think it is possible/probable that Trump will loose the popular vote by a significantly larger margin than 16 and still be “reelected” President. I also think, under a slightly different scenario that the Republicans throw Trump under the bus in the House of Representatives, and we end up with Pence or Harris as President and an appointed Vice-President ala Ford/Rockerfeller.
To understand how the Senate could end up appointing a President we will need to play the 20th Amendment game.
Jean has not noticed that her Republican neighbors want to cancel her? That does not surprise me at all. Thanks for the report.
Come on, FF. You are capable of bettter than that.
Just stop and think about this line of reasoning. We are expected to not lend any credence to the Atlantic article because the sources will not reveal their identy, yet we are expected to believe that the garbage that Q is spewing anonymously is somehow legitimate? And that HW, acting as one of his amplifiers has any credence here while posting anonymously as Conan the Barbarian? How cowardly is that? You got something to say, fucking say it and own it.
I can understand if you, EOS, and HW don’t want everyone here knowing who you are, but there is nothing stopping you from sending Mark an email with a friendly introduction. Mark is an honorable man, and if you ask him not to disclose your identity I’m sure he will not. I think it will really put some force behind your convictions if you say what you have to say as YOU and not Tony the Tiger or East of Sprawl or Conan the Barbarian.
Your contributions here would just have more force, and would likely be more measured and exact, if you ( and EOS and HW ) were not hiding.
1) “We are expected to not lend any credence to the Atlantic article because the sources will not reveal their identy.“
Who said that? The story told in the Atlantic article is stupid. I don’t need to attach a name to a stupid story to know it is stupid.
2) “yet we are expected to believe that the garbage that Q is spewing anonymously is somehow legitimate?”
I don’t know anything about Q. Is it stupid? Reveal what you don’t like about it specifically.

Anyone can be an antifa goon in the street but they have a core group that is highly trained and vetted. It’s ironic you say they can’t organize as much as a bike gang because they have to complete a prospect period that is very much like a gang.
They have dedicated facilities with training by college professors with powerpoint. It’s on video taken in their Portland phony bookstore by an infiltrator. Anyone can watch it. If you haven’t watched that but you are shooting your mouth off about this then that puts you at a decided disadvantage I would say.
Jeffrey Acord was arrested at the Ferguson riots so he’s OG blm, It almost sounds like he is a professional at this shit. Certainly he is a hardcore longtime devotee of the blm movement. There he is getting arrested for starting fires on his own livestream. Dumbass thought he was slick and called it in to the police like a good citizen would. He figured they couldn’t imagine the perp would call it in. I guess they have about seen it all though.
Acord is obviously an entitled pathological liar.
I read that accord was unable to produce the cellphone that made the supposed 9-11 call.
Also, after the arson arrest he was let go and arrested again 2 hours later for burglary of a store.

HW you are fucking hillarious. I recommend that you spend some time reading about how Stalin used fake infiltrators and conspiracies to stay in power, or how Adolf, setup his homosexual supporters. I suspect after the last election there will be a number of show trials.
Have you been paying attention to the persecution of and show trial of Assange? I suspect Q has been silent on that bit of misinformation you used to spout.
I suspect the Fantastic Fabulist can’t even get behind this Anifa fable.
What are you trying to say? Acord is a Trump plant to make peaceful protestors look bad? That’s not even funny. It’s just stupid and desperate.
Leadership that is competent and listens to competent advise gets good results. Canada is well on its way to crushing the virus. I don’t suppose they will be allowing field trips to Stratford anytime soon.

HW I know you live in a time and space divorced from the reality that the rest of us are forced to endure. All authoritarean, want to be strong guys require both foreign enemies (China, Iran, -they are real, but it is important to never reach agreements with them and to demonize them) and domestic enemies.
It is easy to make Iran or China seem to be bad and dangerous (after all they do bad things, and are capable of dangerous actions). Less easy with domestic enemies. My point was you need to brush up on the kinds of conspiracies the Leader will have to quell during his second and third terms. Hoods and thugs on the street are good for the simple minded, but to put the fear of the Leader in the hearts of the powerful you are going to have to up your game. MAGA
Because they are happy with the competent leadership in Canada. No need for an election year virus.
Trump is quite balanced in how he treats them. He always said he blames past US leaders for the lopsided China policies. He has said he would talk to Iran or anyone.
It’s the dems using Russia as a big phony cudgel that is the problem. You see that so I don’t know what is holding you back from going all the way.
“I suspect Q has been silent on that bit of misinformation you used to spout.”
I guess you won’t find out the reality until it smacks your face. It’s the ones you don’t see coming that knock your bitch ass out.
And if only those libtards in Oregon had followed the Leaders advise and raked their yards Oregon would not have burned down this week. MAGA
Ah yes the surprise ending (but it won’t be a surprise to you, your waiting with baited breath for the Leader to prove himself), but for dolts like me it will come like a bolt out of the blue.
oh High Wizard of knowledge, is this more fake news?

“I suspect the Fantastic Fabulist can’t even get behind this Anifa fable.“
What fable are you referring to? You don’t make sense. Antifa is not some difficult to penetrate mystery. We have been following them for years. I have been tracking this garbage before it had a name. I can’t figure out how the ColuMbo.com community can be so dumb. It’s weird.
You all know I am as slow witted as they come, I mean it has taken me almost my whole life to come to this realization (surprise, surprise). It seems like the Antifa fable should have at the very least had had a video conference appearance by Soros, isn’t he the boggie man? Help me out on this. How are a bunch of street thugs who are about as well organized (according the High Wizzard) as a motorcycle gang become an existential threat to the Republic. Surely it is Soros or the Clintons who are the money folks, am I right?
Speaking of slow witted, it seems like the fires have been burning through those areas of Oregon that are dominated by MAGA followers. Why didn’t they do as the Leader instructed and get out there and rack–fucking fair weather followers.
Organized crime does not exist until after the network is exposed and prosecuted by law enforcement? There are some highly organized motorcycle gangs, dumbfuck. The most organized ones spend a great deal of effort hiding specific links in their network because part of their network is devoted to carrying out criminal activities. Is this your first day on planet earth?
Is this your first day on planet earth?
Although I can only check in randomly it’s interesting that the quality of the discourse remains the sAme.
So many words.
So little said.
Sad
No I was recruited by an anarchist motorcycle drug running gang in Milwaukee back in the 80’s. They were getting my a job at Harley Davidson. I had been dumped by my girl friend. Steve, my buddy in the gang, only knew her phone number (I was living on the street at the time). He called her to tell her when I was supposed to show up at take the physical for the job. She never told me. Instead of going to work at HD and becoming a notorious motorcycle gang member, I got word from some friends in Ann Arbor about a printing job. Moved here instead. I got to get together with Steve back during the Detroit Newspaper Strike. He had gotten out of jail and was a lawyers guild attorney from Philadelphia by then. It was like the first time I had seen him since like 1980, he wondered why I never showed up, he told me he had left a message with my girl.
I tracked her down in Rochester New York that fall to thank her for saving my life.
So yeah I know about organized crime.
Your High Worshipful one, it turns out some of those Antifa fires were once again provocations being carried out by the Leaders faithful followers.MAGA

Qbots-
As a result of folks like you acting as amplifier cells for bullshit, 911 switchboards in Oregon were tied up with calls from people worried that if they left their homes Antifa goons were going to raid their homes and steal their possessions. Think for just a few fucking seconds about that. They are being asked to evacuate a life threatening situation but are worried that if they do then they will be burglarized by antifa.
https://heathercoxrichardson.substack.com/p/september-11-2020
And in other news, a 32 year old woman who appears to be from Ypsilanti went after a security guard in Seattle with a machette. She apparently was accusing him and other random people of being a child molestors ( sound familiar ? ). She severed all the tendons in his left arm. Her boyfriend poured gas in an apartment a few weeks ago and lit the place up because he believed someone in there had his stolen laptop. 2 dead, six injured. Both are in jail on bail. They are raising the bail for her because she is an instagram fitness model with a large following and they are concerned her fans could raise her bail on gofundme, allowing her to jump bail.
And for the record, I don’t think there is ANYTHING that justifies the shitheads trying to seal police into the east precinct and burn them alive, the burning of the construction site on Broadway, the torching and destruction of cop cars, throwing molotov cocktails at cops, extorting local businesses, armed vigilantes ( from either “side” ), destruction of public and private property, and on and on. NOTHING justifies that. If that is what Antifa stands for and they are truly organized enough to motivate people to do this crap, then they absolutely should be labeled a domestic terrorist organization.
I’m trapped in the house today looking out the window at what looks like a sky out of an end of the world movie. The air quality index is off the charts and the visibility is somewhere around 1/4 mile.. from smoke, not fog. Smoke from Oregon and California. Un-fucking-believable.
Michigan should be taking a hard look at their timberlands and planning for this scenario. It may be closer than you think.
Wobblie,
Of course there are police networks of criminality.
Two of the three people I have any kind of regular communications with West of the Rockies are now climate change refugees. My friend in the Illinois Valley of Northern California fled her home because of approaching fires. My friend in Portland is taking his new child and rest of family to Astoria where it is reported that the air is only twice as bad as normal.
https://www.bizjournals.com/portland/news/2020/09/12/portland-air-quality-very-unhealthy-as-fires-con.html
What bullshit did I ever fucking “amplify”? Shut the fuck up. A professional-grade blm protestor has been arrested for setting those fires. That should be enough to make you shut the fuck up but you don’t have the brains.
The meth enthusiast in your story was one of your peaceful protestors. People like me don’t go around doing that kind of shit.
When external reality constantly imposes itself on the delusional perception of reality, the mentally ill are forced by the contradictions to simply deny reality, or seek competent mental health assistance. Most mentally ill folks, actually recognize they are not right, and actually seek help to get better.
Mentally ill folks who’s illness is the result of addiction, rarely understand the effects of the addiction on their mental health. I think we see the result of that clash of addiction and cognitive dissonance in HW’s reaction to the exposure of his addictive substance being just as much as chimera as meth.
There is a new reliable source of information Zardoz and it is clearly the real truth.
The fires are a HOAX.
And even if they’re not, they only kill a small percentage of the population and it is mostly old and sick people who can’t evacuate fast enough who die. And you can’t even trust those numbers – if someone dies of a heart attack or respiratory failure while their house is burning down, that death is still counted as a fire death! Those scenes of houses and acres burning are all staged, false flag operations. N95 Masks kill more people than fires. Fire fighting professionals what do they know about preventing or stopping the spread of a wildfire or saving peoples lives in a fire. All they talk about is wildfire and the smoke and ignore the real danger of chemtrails. It is anti-fa that caused the fires! The media just hypes the fires to make Trump look bad and convince people climate change is real. And even if the deaths are higher, my family is fine – we don’t live in or near a forest.
So WHY is it OK to take MY rights, my right to have a campfire in the national forest, my right to light fireworks at a gender reveal, my right to ride my quad in the woods? My right to burn brush on my property any damned day I please? My right to toss my cigarette butt where ever is convenient to me? IT’S OPPRESSION. IT’S UN-AMERICAN.
I’ve done my research and you won’t change my mind. WAKE UP SHEEPLE.
Zardoz has not yet confirmed this is reality, I apologize if this turns out to be “fake news”.
The U.S District Court for Colorado issued a Temporary Restraining Order against the U.S. Postal Service finding that:
“The Notice [distributed by the U.S. Postal Service per Postmaster General DeJoy] provides false or misleading information about the manner of Colorado’s elections by stating that voters should ‘[r]equest [their] mail-in ballot (often called ‘absentee’ ballot) at least 15 days before Election Day’ and ‘mail [their] ballot at least 7 days before Election Day.’ In reality, Colorado voters do not need to request a ballot at any time. Voters who receive a ballot do not need to mail the ballot back at least 7 days before the election; they may alternatively deposit that ballot at a drop-box or may choose to vote in person up to and including on election day. If a ballot is lost for whatever reason, a Colorado voter can request a replacement ballot at any time or vote in person. Thus, the Notice, which provides patently false information regarding Colorado elections, jeopardizes Colorado’s constitutional right to establish the ‘Times, Places and Manner of holding Elections.'” (Internal citations omitted.)

Is it your strategy to be as incoherent as possible so as to confuse the enemy?
Nobody,
Our friend near Colton Or is living in her horse trailer with two horses, dogs and cats. She’s stuck on the side of the highway while the Fire Dept drains her rare newt pond in her remnant fragment of old growth trying to save her neighbors houses and stock.
Our friends in PDX we’re smelling smoke from the cop “union” hall protests on Lombard, but now everything is overwhelmed by smoke from the forest fires.
Michigan and Ontario have lots of fuelwood in place for our turn burning thanks to climate change expansion of spruce beetles and industrial forest management. We’ve had the enviable problem of too much water recently, but you’re right to suggest that our turn will come. Do people realize that in eastern commercial conifer forest we do massive scale aerial spraying of Roundup during regeneration following clear-cut? This artificially returns the forest to mono culture conifer which then is susceptible to explosive fire.
You have to have truth in what you are saying. That’s why you just sound fuckin’ loony. That’s why the left can’t meme. There is no truth to it. If you don’t have faith you can’t wield a cross against a vampire. If you aren’t satirizing the actual reality you can’t be effective against your enemy.
Zardoz wants to remind us that Michigan has burnt up before. That same year the “cow” burned down Chicago, the entire middle of the state burned from Lake Huron to Lake Michigan.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Great_Michigan_Fire
Oh yeah, Zardoz wants to assure its followers that it is not the creation of a cia, mi6, mossad misinformation campaign being run by a security analysist of a major international banking institution. It says, if you want to know more about it, and its provenance, it recommends a review and rereading of the classic literature on the subject.
You are fucked.
06.22.2020 | 7:29 AM | CHULA VISTA – An arsonist was arrested after being caught on camera fueling a brush fire he reportedly started, Monday morning.
Authorities responded to reports of a fire burning in a large field of brush near a homeless encampment at the intersection of Marine Parkway and J Street around 7:29 AM.
Units arriving on scene located the fire with a man, who witnesses say started the fire, throwing contents into the flames and fueling the fire.
Officers took the man into custody after he attempted to walk away and hide in the field.
The fire was quickly extinguished before it could cause any serious damage.
The man told officers he did not start the fire but admitted to fueling the flames by throwing contents into the flames.

John Brown –
I’m sorry to hear about what your friend is going through. A friend of my sister lives in Portland and it is much worse than Seattle. She ( my sister’s friend ) is helping to shelter goats in the city for a friend who has a farm down there. My understanding is that they had to leave the chickens behind. The fires are in their suburbs. My heart aches for these people. They are losing everything in some instances.
The air quality is awful right now, but we really can’t complain about it when compared to the people that are losing their homes and in some instances their entire towns. The fires are jumping the cascades this year and it is unnerving. There is a fire south of Seattle in the Sumner / Bonney Lake area. They are starting to evacuate people as it is moving closer to homes.
Thanks for hipping me to the Ernanda Bendtsen story, wobbers. Her vids are fuckin’ wacky. Fitness model to “touring” scumrock vocalist to full-blown psychotic meth-head in like one year!
Zardoz wanted to be sure we knew the current status of stage 3 vaccine trials so we can know BS when we begin hearing it as we approach the election
According to the WHO, as of September 9, there are nine (9) potential vaccines currently in Phase 3 testing. (There are a total of twelve Phase 3 tests because some of the potential vaccines are the subject of more than one Phase 3 test.) The earliest that any Phase 3 test for any of these potential vaccines is expected to be completed is May 1, 2021. Here are the tests with links to further information as to each one.
University of Oxford/AstraZeneca—Two Phase 3 tests. One has an expected end date of October 31, 2021. The other has an expected end date of October 5, 2022.
CanSino Biological Inc./Beijing Institute of Biotechnology—Two Phase 3 tests, one of which has a projected completion date of January 30, 2022 and the other has a projected completion date of July 31, 2021.
Gamaleya Research Institute—Projected completion date May 1, 2021.
Janssen Pharmaceutical Companies—Not yet recruiting.
Sinovac—Two tests, neither of which gives any projected date for completion. One is still recruiting. The other is so sketchy that it’s difficult to figure out where it is.
Wuhan Institute of Biological Products/Sinopharm— “Study Execute Time” is July 15, 2021.
Beijing Institute of Biological Products/Sinopharm— “Study Execute Time” is July 15, 2021.
Moderna/NIAID—Projected study completion date—October 27, 2022.
BioNTech/Fosun Pharma/Pfizer—Projected study completion date–November 14, 2022.
Hopefully we won’t need vaccines. I’m not taking one. For a disease almost no one gets that only kills elderly sick people if anyone at all? Are you out of your mind?
If you had a polio vaccine you could have the SV40 virus. That’s not enough though. You want to tempt fate one more time because of your misplaced trust.
HW– At this point I hope you get Corona virus so you can experience the long term side effects so many out there have. No I don’t feel bad about it either. Assholes like you put us all at risk economically and medically as this thing persists and continues to spread. On of my daughter’s co-workers died in Brooklyn. He was 33 and in good health with two little daughters. You deserve it for relentlessly minimizing the disease in the face of so much suffering. Please, by all means, don’t take the vaccine when it arrives.
How could I possibly put anyone at risk when I don’t have it?
Barely anyone in that age group has died from covid. Almost all the ones who did had other diseases. “All covid-RELATED deaths” means they didn’t necessarily die of covid. They had a positive test and died. That’s what it means.
Up to 90% of samples are amplified to the point of rendering the result unusable so that ought to tell you something. Almost all positive tests are unreliable. Anecdotes like your daughter’s co-worker mean nothing to me. That could be not what happened at all.
You blow it up because you instinctively sense it is to your advantage in this election year. It is you deserve what you are going to have to do. I will be fine. In fact I will be laughing at you just like I have for years as you lose lose lose.
you who deserve
All of you derps need to start adding that whenever you speak of the “death total”. It’s “All COVID-related deaths” not all deaths caused by covid.
“You blow it up because you instinctively sense it is to your advantage in this election year. It is you deserve what you are going to have to do. ” — HW
You mean like how Antifa is burning or cities and started the forest fires? You mean like they are a well organized band of lawless thugs poised to read havoc across our nation?
PS What am I going to have to do, HW?
HW Your hero and savior is a pedophile.
““Look at that piece of ass,” [Samantha] Cohen recalls Trump saying, as he whistled and pointed. “I would love some of that.” It so happened that Trump was referring to Cohen’s then 15-year-old daughter, Samantha.
Cohen informed Trump of his mistake. “That’s your daughter?” Trump responded. “When did she get so hot?” When Samantha reached her dad, Trump asked her for a kiss on the cheek, before inquiring, “When did you get such a beautiful figure?” and warning her that in a few years, he would be dating one of her friends.”
“You mean like how Antifa is burning or cities and started the forest fires? You mean like they are a well organized band of lawless thugs poised to read havoc across our nation?”
Correct as I have shown repeatedly and as you try to deny.
You tried to knock Trump out of the election with the Katie Johnson hoax so you need better evidence than Cohen’s word to be taken seriously.
The MMr Bean Dems on this site have a strong impulse for violence. It’s who they are. Jean, Jbro and Lynne are supporters of war. They apparently fantasize about real harm to people who do not want to join their war monger party. They advocate for violence domestically, abroad and in their local communities. Add Jean’s latest wish that HW gets Corona virus to the list of clues that these are very sick people capable of doing real harm to others.
Silence is violence. If the less vocal Dems on this site can’t call it out for what it is then they ought to consider themselves as complicit.
No offense taken, iRobert.
I’m not even the best writer in my house.
I’m happy that people apparently voted for me, but I think the whole thing is hilarious.
Fickle Fibber, your double standards are showing again. i have bent my knee to the Huburis Wonderman. Ive acknowledged his intellectual superiority in all things that matter. I’ve changed my handle at his direction, and yet all he does is call me names. It is like being the autistic one in the room and the Leader making fun of you–you can only call it cruel.
I would rather get covid than Biden. I would not wish either on anyone else.
Wobblie,
I give you and iRobert credit for supporting the only Dem candidate who spoke out against senseless wars. I also recognize that you, unlike J Bro, Jean and Lynne, do not wish violence onto your fellow MM.com commenters. I do think you should speak out against BLM /Antifa violence once in a while.
Two out of three is not bad though. When it comes to war there are times when Trump sounds more like Tulsi than any of the Dems these people support. The people
on this website repeated lies about Tulsi….Don’t forget that.
Still having trouble differentiating between the literal and the figurative, I see FF. The only people here who wish for literal violence against others are those who ensure that such things will happen by voting for Trump. I know that hypocrisy has never bothered you in yourself but don’t worry, the rest of us see it.
I’m sold, FF. Are we all heading out to Macomb County tonight for the Trump rally? Kid Rock headlines. We can carpool with HW and EOS.
Sorry, we should have made plans. I think you need to stand in line for at least 8 hours to get in. We’ll have to settle for watching on TV. What is the trigger word for everyone to take a shot?
Cassandra,
Jean said:” At this point I hope you get Corona virus…” Was that intended as a joke like one of your hilarious “bioterrorism jokes”? Was she speaking metaphorically?
Oh I meant that FF. For sure. Literally. HW minimizes the disease. He should get it and see what it’s really like. He says it’s no big deal so what’s wrong with wishing it on him? Or is HW wrong and such a wish is violent? Are you willing say HW is wrong, FF?
EOS, I’m sure you and HW, with your Q connections, could have gotten us all in ahead of all those hordes waiting in line.
Did Kid Rock get stinking drunk again and start rambling about Oprah like he did at his concert?

He perfectly represents the average Trump supporter.
It’s a long comment thread but as a refresher.

Yeah, it’s the kindest, most gentle disease of all time. Only taking the suffering and sparing those with good lives left to live who weren’t probably going to die then already. So nice a disease.
Faithful Friend, Trump does occasionally point out some truisms. His comments the other day about the MIC for example. His actions over 3.5 years though demonstrated he is a total tool for them. As long as they let him continue in his lawless aggrandizements of power and wealth he will continue to let them have their wars and profiteering.
What do you think about that SD AG? Seems like he is the perfect embodiment of Trumpism. Party like it is 1975, grab the money and run. Let some one else pick up the road kill. MAGA
JH,
I have not heard HW say it is not a big deal. I don’t know if HW is taking precautions or not. I do know that Lynne has admitted to doing things I do not feel comfortable doing and she is more at risk than I am. I know people who are more cautious and less cautious than me. I just follow the guidlines. For all I know HW follows the guidelines too.
I am glad young people are at much less risk. Some diseases do not work that way. Do you wish otherwise?
Wobblie,
When is the last time a president did not go into a new war? Who was the last president to talk about defense contractors like that? I have never heard a president say anything about the military industrial complex like that. People can attack Trump on a lot of things but it is clear he thinks endless foreign wars are a bad idea. And I think that is great.
I recognize that most people are younger than me, and wonder what is the reference to 1975? MAD was not formed until 1980, the legal limit in the 70’s was nearly twice what it is today.
Fact Finder, what evidence is there that young people are at much less risk? AIDs was known of for several years before we learned that it “hid” in our bodies dormant until some other stress activated its spread in the body again. We had known about the link between chicken pox and shingles at least since the mid-50’s. We were unable to create a safe and effective vaccine until 2006. We have know about hepatitis b and c and how the effects from those viruses are not apparent for decades in some cases.
I happen to believe that it is the height of stupid arrogance and greed to use an entire generation of our young as Guinee Pigs. We know now that 60 to 70 % of asymptomatic individuals regardless of age experience heart inflammation. We call the trumpvirus a respiratory illness because that it its primary means of transmission. We are now learning that though it effects the lungs, it maybe more of a cardio vascular illness.
And even though Lynne takes less precautions than I do I do not wish covid onto her. That is crazy. These are character flaws you guys need to be talking to with a psychologist or a spiritual leader. There is something wrong with you guys mentally, emotionally and spiritually. Clearly.
Wobblie,
Good point. We have evidence that young people are at a much less IMMEDIATE risk. A lot less. You are right though. It could turn out that it lies dormant and causes all kinds of problems later. It is way beyond my scope of knowledge to speculate.
FF, I hope by inviting you, HW and EOS to carpool to the Kid Rock – Trump event in Macomb County last night wasn’t out of line. I wouldn’t want it to sound like I want you to get COVID-19.
How come I wasn’t invited? Is it because I’m dead?
I had a great time at the Tulsa rally.
Sorry about the grammar. I obviously don’t read or even think about the comments I post here.
It was just over a hundred years ago when the masters of the universe in their stupidity, arrogance and greed sacrificed 9 million lives. An entire generation of European young men were wiped out.
I had the good fortune to get to spend an afternoon with Black Jack Pershing’s aide de camp, James Lawton Collins, he was a very old man at the time and I couldn’t have been but 9 or 10. I liked his stories about chasing Poncho Villa around Mexico more than the WWI and WWII stories he had. I think it was his nephew who went to the moon.

It’s about as compassionate a disease as could be hoped for: It spares the young; even those with compromised immune systems. Almost all it’s victims are quite ill to begin with and the vast majority are elderly.

It is a fact that people die of those many co-morbidities all the time. It is also a fact that the “covid death toll” is comprised of all covid-RELATED deaths, meaning anyone who died who had a positive covid test is considered part of the death toll. It’s in everyone’s face but you don’t want to know. You want to use numbers that are ridiculous on the face of it. A lot of those people were going to die anyway. The misuse of the PCR test causing false positives is another nail in the covid coffin.
Vague Guy!
Which part of what HW said is untrue though? Show why what he said is untrue in your opinion. Then show how his misapprehension leads him to a mis-assessment of the risk of covid. Further show how his mis-assessment of the risk of covid is translating into his advocacy or practice of policy and behavior that is unreasonable.
Your vague and overly simplistic approach is silly. You are saying nothing—always. It’s so strange…
Just answer a simple question: For teens and younger the flu is more immediately deadly. Yes or no? If Yes then does agreeing on that fact mean you think covid is it a big deal? Of course not.
HW should check the final causes of death for the 1918 flu, and other viruses. We wouldn’t have to see this stupid line of commentary anymore.
“The 1918 pandemic was unusual in that it killed many healthy 20- to 40-year-olds, including millions of World War I soldiers. In contrast, people who die of the flu are usually under five years old or over 75.”
I don’t understand how understanding more about the Spanish flu proves HW wrong in what he is saying?
What were the other conditions which were stated on the death certificates as to cause of death?
Bacterial Pneumonia was the ultimate cause of death in the 1918 pandemic.
I should have said Bacterial Pneumonia was most often the ultimate cause of death in 1918 pandemic “Spanish Flu” cases.
Viruses trigger a cascade of conditions. It is ultimately one of these conditions that does the infected person in. Shit for brains thinks that means they didn’t die of the virus.
Explaining rudimentary shit to you guys is trying tiresome. I would hope you’d do some of your own critical thinking.
I don’t think that is fair. Spanish flu killed mostly healthy 20-40 year olds whereas covid does not. I would want to hear an explanation for that difference.
FF, first you need to remember that life expectancy in 1918 was shorter particularly for working folks, the percent of the population over 60 was smaller-and relatively much more affluent. My grand-mother died from the influenza. It has been horribly short sighted for folks to constantly use influenza as a comparison. This is a corona virus, not at all like an influenza virus.
At one point you opine that you don’t have a clue of the long term health consequences of contracting this virus. But then you go on to argue, ” Further show how his mis-assessment of the risk of covid is translating into his advocacy or practice of policy and behavior that is unreasonable.
I can only assume that you are on board with using our youth as sacrifices to scientific knowledge. And you folks take exception to being called a death cult, oy vey.
FF,
HW keeps trying to claim COVID-19 deaths aren’t actually caused by COVID-19. In almost every saw they most certainly are. The SARS-CoV-2 virus attacks various organs and causes a cascade of conditions to occur or drastically worsen.
The H1N1 flu virus in 1918 caused the deaths of tens of millions of people, but what finally brought death were resulting conditions like pneumonia.
Even in those rare cases where a person was already suffering from pneumonia when they became infected with H1N1, they died almost certainly as a result of the virus worsening the condition. The majority of H1N1 deaths in 1918 and 1919 were from pneumonia brought on by the H1N1 virus.
It is similar with the SARS-CoV-2 virus. Most deaths are likely to end up being from pneumonia brought on by the virus.
As far as the differences in who dies from any particular virus, that depends on many variables, certainly. Wobblie pointed out one which makes a lot of sense. We now have many more people over the age of 60 these days, and this SARS-CoV-2 virus probably wouldn’t have killed so many people had it first appeared a century ago. There wouldn’t have been so many people vulnerable to it.
Various viruses have particular characteristics which result in some more particular consequences. Some tend to seem to strike most severely at a particular organ. Some seem to be most destructive to infants. Some more destructive to people with certain genetic in common.

You know I am so slow on catching on to things. My cousin, who is no slouch in the intelligence department made me realize what Trump meant when he was saying he didn’t want to cause a “panic”. He was referring to the time he and his family needed to unload all the entertainment, travel, resort stocks they had.
I’ve not done a time line. It would be interesting to know how much money the Trump Organization, and its various friends saved, while the Leader kept feeding the stock market fables. Talk about the lowest kind of self dealing.
Great scoop Jean. Can you tell me what month we are in?
I know It’s old news FF and yet HW continues stating that Bugaloos don’t exist.
I’m wondering FF’s take on this:
https://www.newyorker.com/magazine/2020/09/28/a-young-kennedy-in-kushnerland-turned-whistle-blower
“HW continues stating that Bugaloos don’t exist.”
Oh really? I don’t recall saying that once let alone continually. Obviously they exist in some form. I think they are a ridiculous caricature designed to smear the right. The protestor at the BLM protest with the wheelchair-using girlfriend that got shot by the driver had been posting boogaloo shit for example. Right winger you think?
Don’t you notice how bad you stink? You smell as bad as Hillary Clinton. Must be something about congenital liars.
HW is projecting again! You simply cannot support a guy like Trump and then credibly call *anyone* a liar but especially not a paragon on honestly that is Hillary Clinton! Get out of here with that nonsense!
But you have a mountain of lies that you have made about…the President. What do you think he lies about? I have answered just about every concern brought up here.
Jean lies about not just factual knowledge but opinions stated by me. That is extra bad when you smear another human being with lies. I actually think she is so dumb she doesn’t know she is lying but it is the equivalent.
The insane clown said he could murder someone in the middle of Fifth Avenue and still not lose the support of his juggalos.
He called the concern over the virus a “hoax.”
Then he said it would soon disappear.
Then he said it would only kill a few thousand.
Later he admitted it would kill a hundred thousand, but not more than two hundred thousand.
All the time he was telling a very different story privately than the lies he was telling publicly.
The juggalos ate sticking with him regardless – just as he said they would.
The juggalos continue to eat the insane clown’s shit.
