I'm an introvert, and I have to admit that I quite enjoy the Covid world we live in.

I don't have to shake hands, you don't stand/sit so close to me, no large group activities to drain my energy... an introverts paradise.

Since I'm being candid, when the first widespread lockdowns were starting and everyone was scared, I kept driving my 'essential service' butt across town to the jobsite. I remember traffic everywhere was a trickle compared to normal. By the 3rd day I had thought, 'If 2/3 of humanity got wiped out by this then this is what life could be. I like it!'

The people shocked at the peeing in bottles going on have never spent any real time on construction sites. Capped bottles are way more sanitary than things I've seen and smelled.

Here's one. Imagine a fiberglass tub -------- in the summer... and the ghastly number of flies. Yeah, now imagine some of the flies land on your face and you know where it has been! Some people are another level disgusting.

Nothing really went wrong; it is that every vaccine skipped the lengthy phase IV trials, the lpng-term effects in our rush for the cure.

Everyone getting vaccinations are the phase IV trials.

If he were an atheist it likely would never have happened.

He'll be among his peers when he gets to prison.

Like the Catholic Church has moral authority after shuffling pedophile priests around, enabling them to prey on children, failing to report crimes to secular authorities, spending a fortune defending those who did end up being prosecuted, blaming and shaming the victims...

as an institution they're a disgusting moral failure.

I've read that most Americans are deficient in Vitamin D, which is essential for absorption of other vitamins.

I rarely go to the Doctor. Last year I was complaining of ongoing chronic fatigue (started several years ago, not covid related) and my doctor ordered blood work. They found I was very low in vitamin D with no other issues.

He prescribed 50,000 units/wk and it did have a positive effect with my fatigue.

Perhaps Vitamin D does work on covid, I don't know. Twice last year I was directly exposed to covid, and one was 20 minutes in a small job trailer standing beside each other unmasked while reviewing prints. He tested positive the next day and went MIA/quarantine. I tested negative several days later. Go figure.

By law EVERY candidate who runs for any political office needs to first be subject to a full mental health evaluation by an independent board of clinical psychologists.

I'm so tired of morons and idiots in leadership roles.

I've been gone a long time. :)

I'm a bit of a blue dog now.

By now, I can't believe there are are any authentic Republicans left in the party... they already got the ---- out!

@ #17

You're mistaken if you believe all who oppose Trump and his supporters are liberals. That's generally how your post reads.

There are many folks who are balanced, thinking individuals whom have found the GOP as it currently manifests has become untenable. Current and recent GOP politicians exhibit a specious relationship with reasoned, rational thought.

The GOP's relationship with objective facts and the truth equate to a form of domestic violence wherein truth plays the role of a battered spouse broke by years of abuse. As a party, the GOP has become something of an ethically devoid cult that revels in ignorance and traffics in lies. Come on man, my 7 and 9 yr. old have more character and integrity than those men and women leading under the banner of the the current GOP! That party isn't so grand anymore.

Regardless, the answer is not for the GOP to tack hard right as a counter to the boogeyman they see in the far left. The answer is to settle in the middle for both sides, and to compromise. There must be balance! The goal should not be win/lose, but win/win.

It's so easy to destroy that which is so hard to build. Don't be a destructive simpleton. Grow up, dial down the rhetoric, then compromise. Simple, but not easy.

Like the Stones refrain: "You can't always get what you want
But if you try sometimes you just might find
You get what you need"

Worst national anthem rendition I've ever had the misfortune of hearing.

Someone should have gaffed that woman off the stage!

Let's hope they meet a martyrs end.

"If Greene doesn't shut up and learn her place she's going to out us as racists!" - Some Republican behind closed doors.

Yeah....about as pleasant as a case of bleeding hemorrhoids.

As a contractor I despise Trump's ripping-off working people. I also think it's laughable he'd claim to have built anything. He didn't build squat, merely secured financing to build. He's only ever gotten dirt under his nails while picking his golf ball from the rough. A total loser!

This could be the new "swatting"!

Perhaps this may interest some.

Totally agree.

The study I mentioned was done on administrations from around Hoover to Bush or Obama. We were a different people then, at least Republicans were.

Haven't read the article or comments yet, but I've seen a study/analysis concluding when the government is divided among the two parties Americans are generally better off. They keep one another in check from extreme shifts.

In a way, the Republicans are showing spine, just not the way you and I would appreciate...they're no longer concerned with consequences as they're "crawling back to Trump." They're not afraid of accountability because they expect there to be none now they've had some time to process Jan 6th.

What do you think is the ultimate primary Republican goal, or plan after Biden? Does anyone seriously think it's changed since Jan 6th? It was right there for all to see.

Does anyone think Republicans will gain power as a majority then reach across the isle for some brotherly love? Think they will say, "Can't we all just get along"?

Who do you think they're arming themselves to fight? A Russian invasion? The Chinese? Mexicans? Canadians? Taliban? Al Shabaab? Who?

It's definitely not the scary liberal side of the country, you know, the people whom they believe are destroying freedom, jobs, religion, rights, etc. etc. Who can't imagine Democrats are the very people common Republicans view as the greatest existential threat to everything they hold dear?

Fill in the blank. Republicans say, "The only good Dem is a ____ Dem".

And they do it with no shame in their game, too. After all, "God wins in the end.", they say.

If the consequences are not severe, and mercy is given by democrats, Trump Republicans will only be emboldened. No doubt. Maybe I'm wrong. I hope I'm wrong.

May the flying spaghetti monster save us. Ramen!

And to think there were Dems calling for impeachment to be postponed for 100 days... stupidity!

Dems better grow a spine and cut off the snake's head, or when they lose power they'll likely never see it return.

Take the damn gloves off and fight like your party depends on it, because it does.

We can all prolly be thankful that at least it wasn't a topless pic of Kelleyanne.

I'd imagine they're flabby flapjacks by now.

Do away with portraits and use words.

OBEY
CONSUME
WORK

Like something out of Carpenter's film.

My two favorite beverages. Although I rarely drink Coke anymore, except sometimes with pizza, I will certainly try a can of this new stuff.

Seems I'll be making a facetious remark to my wife when I claim that coffee makes Coke healthy!

I just don't understand the obsession with huge vehicles with 5.7 Liter V8s to go shopping or picking up some shirts from the cleaners in.

I take pleasure in knowing their ride is very rough. It takes a load in the bed of about 1000#'s before the ride begins to smooth out enough that you start to feel you won't need a kidney transplant at 40K miles. :)
