Does anyone remember, I'm not sure if it was this country, when an Hiv positive person could be prosecuted for deliberately infecting others? 

Seems that Covid needs to go that route! Any workplace non compliant with vaccines or testing that has an outbreak unless it's a republican establishment, should be prosecuted! 

Wanna bet they protest that and complain about discrimination. I think reverse psychology might do it? 

There have been arrests of people who have intentionally coughed (or similar) on others.

Do you think republicans would vote for Elizabeth Holmes of Theranos if she was in politics?

I do! 

She ticks all the boxes of the kind of people they like! After all Betsy Devos, Rupert Murdoch and the Walmart people, Waltons did! 

Also speaks volumes about their character! 

And did anyone see that Sarah Palin was attacking AOC? Didn't even know she was back?

She could still run for office...there's time and the GOP is actively seeking women to run.

GOP will run a woman with longer legs and a bigger rack.  That's seems to be the most important quality of the women of Fox.  I saw one recently that had too liberally applied dark make-up in her cleavage to keep the Viagra advertisers on Fox happy.

I don't get that? How do you sexualize a news programme? 

Who watches the news to be distracted by an attractive woman? Even the weather women appear to be in the same mould? 

What a country we have? We even have to make news entertaining because we are so distracted!

I wish America could be like this!

Emma Radacanu wins the US open at 18 without dropping a set and as a qualifier. 

Take a look at the people congratulating her in Britain. From the queen to Boris to the leader of the Scottish party to footballers to entertainers like the Spice Girls etc. When she goes back home, she will be feted for months on a National scale and the pride of the British especially re her conduct will be talked about more than her winning the Open. They cherish conduct more than anything! 

You absolutely know about Britain that all four countries England, N Ireland, Scotland and Wales would have been rooting for her and even Ireland would have mostly been rooting for her as well. The captain of the English one day cricket team is Irish. 

Everytime I go back, I am always amazed at how all these people are always supporting each other when it matters. You can have football(soccer) supporters mad about their teams but when it comes to a national cause, they are all on board! 

You look at all the different sports Britain plays and how they always get behind the players no matter what country they are from. You have small factions of racism but the general public don't care if you are Welsh, Scottish or even Irish who probably all live in Britain anyway. 

It's a corny country but it works well. Last weekend The Netherlands was all behind their Formula One driver Mac Vestappen, and it happens all over Europe! 

When do we get behind anyone here for anything? We literally have a savior in our midst in Dr Fauci and do we celebrate him? In Britain he could probably become prime Minister!

So Larry Elder in California has flirted with the far right before, I wonder if Gavin Newsom is going to use this news? 

 

I really wonder just how stupid black or Hispanic people are who get involved with racist factions and think that they are safe or respected? In a sea of white, angry, unthinking faces, their faces will stand out and be remembered. Coupled with the fact that they are simply being used. 

 

How delusional do you have to be or attention seeking to walk into the lion's den and what does it say about your judgment and intelligence? 

 

Do you think republican voters see the pathology of such a person and just how untrustworthy they are? Rejected by their own people and too stupid or needy to even recognize the precariousness of their own position? I doubt republican voters or leaders actually are capable of such assessments seeing that they place themselves and their families into groups, consisting of bikers, criminals, drug dealers, gun owners, mass shooters, angry misogynistic and racist people and hope that their charming personalities will keep them safe from volatile, irresponsible and unpredictable people! 

Zigfied and Roy! Eventually.......

One thing that I have noticed  about republicans, which is such a significant factor in the makeup of their intelligence and therefore their potential for proper decision making capabilities, is their vocabulary and its content. 

I have yet to meet an intelligent person (not saying educated) many intelligent people aren't formally educated, who, doesn't carefully construct their communications! And in whatever language. 

It's universal in my experience, that intelligent people see big picture scenarios with potential or hazards. They draw from many of their experiences to come up with their current perspective. 

That perspective permeates into all areas of their lives, including communication. They speak slowly, with thoughtful words and implications. They assess the receiver of the communications to porifice how can they more effectively convey the subject matter.

Essentially, the communication between the both parties is a direct reflection of the intelligence of both parties! 

When both parties deal in soundbites or headlines during the communications, it demonstrates the triviality and superficial nature of both! It's shallow characters engaging! Little exploration, more rhetoric! They only want to hear what they want to hear! 

Trump's appeal is repeatedly saying the same thing over and over again and very few republicans questions it or even see how it reflects upon them and what's acceptable!

So Amy Comey Barrett is now worried that the image of the Supreme Court is tainted because of Texas. 

Apparently accepting a Supreme Court nomination in such a short period of time and her recalcitrant attitude during the hearing doesn't tell us enough about her judgment and the opinions she has, as well as personal life choices and public opinions. 

The hypocrisy runs deep in all republicans!

Seeing that she's OK with being a Handmaiden in her cult, I don't imagine that she cares much about a women's control over the number of children she has.

Looks like trump picked well with Melania, apparently, she's been likened to Marie Antoinette by her former aide. Her best friend and now her personal aide appear to think she is a cold, calculating, ***! Not my words. 

I thought it was evident from day one. If she married him for money, then she was callous and greedy. If it was for love, then her judgment was so off, that she would be essentially dangerous!
