Yeah, that's it.

I am biased. Hell, at least I can admit it. I wish some hero would release ALL of his and his family's taxes. Couldn't happen to any nicer people on the planet.

I guess I can respect that in a perverse, Switzer-like way.

This thread may be just for @OUBubba and I.

I fear this will just be a thread about Marjorie Taylor Greene mostly but here goes anyways. Her comparison of mask mandates and vaccines to Nazi Germany was egregious. Here is where she made the comparison.



Today she says she didn't make that comparison and it's all a bunch of lies.


Don't believe your eyes/ears. I'm certain her goal of getting into the headlines was achieved and she likely saw an uptick in political donations simply by being an idiot.

The Auschwitz Memorial Museum has the best response. Oh what I wouldn't give to be there when someone explained the response to her.


I couldn't agree more that antics like MJT and some on the left are a "sad symptom of moral and intellectual decline."

Sanity prevailed and MJT finally admitted that her comparisons between mask mandates and Nazi's treatment of Jews was inappropriate.

“I just want to say there is no comparison to the Holocaust, and there never should be,” she added.

It wasn't an invention of the "fake news" afterall as she tried to claim in the immediate aftermath.

I detest flag burning as much as anybody, but laws against it are so flagrantly unconstitutional that it's stupid (and yes, clear virtue signalling) to even propose them.

Doubting your word on the potential unconstitutionality of said law, I checked my internet sources.
What you said checks out.

You prove my point for me. All of that with Obama is in the daylight. Trump has nothing in the daylight.

You could probably lay the financial details of The Apprentice over the top of some of these changes in how the Trump organization does business and get some insight.

No. Obama became rich because he became the President. You have no problem with that. Trump made his money before he took office. You have it completely backwards for some reason. It truly astounds me.

He became rich after he was president. Trump was about to be in serious financial trouble. He was using the populist movement to buttress his Apprentice product and to try to launch something or just glom on to an OAN or something else more Foxnewsy than Foxnews. He got derailed when he won. He would have been much better off to have lost in 2016 and soaked the rubes for the campaign $, benefit from his newfound popularity, and spend day/night throwing turds at HRC. He would have been living his best life.

Hahaha, is anyone else surprised someone would pay $1m for an hour speech by —- whomever?

As someone who has attended a fair amount of conferences, these companies throw money at 2 things: famous people for keynote speeches and concerts. I can only imagine how much SAP paid for Sting at one conference I attended. These are conferences that have thousands of attendees and are a sales vehicle as much as learning for attendees. Some of these events get very bougie. One included a helicopter trip over the Grand Canyon for a Vegas conference. Another included a private cooking session with Gordon Ramsay.

is anyone surprised much of his wealth is a payoff? 1 mill per speech. Yeah, that makes sense

A payoff? Please feel free to submit your evidence to the DOJ. Make sure it covers every POTUS, every VP, every SOS, every other Cabinet member. It's common practice that these individuals do the speaking circuit and get paid handsomely. Feel free to regulate that, I wouldn't mind, but the conspiracy theories are a bit much.

One Conference I attended Henry Kissinger was the keynote speaker. It was a conference in Washington D.C. with an organization focused on Data Visualization. I'm certain he was paid but who knows how much. Was that a payoff in 2008 from his work as SOS under Nixon?

Long ago I've stated it was unethical and stated that regulations were needed to prohibit children from profiting off their parent roles. Did you miss that?

Yep. I generally adhere to the principle that you leave the spouses and children of politicians alone. However, I draw the line when they make money off their powerful relative or try to influence policy.

Covid vax have had an affect on many younger folks. Have you not read about that?
Click to expand...

I'm well aware of 298 cases of potential Cardiomyopathy that are being investigated...of millions who have taken the vaccine. Those are serious and should be investigated. The signs so far is that it's temporary. My 3 sons aged 22, 20, and 18 have taken Pfizer (the older 2) and J&J. To live at their colleges in the dorms (Freshman were required to live in dorms) they had to have Meningitis and Measles vaccinations.

Here are the side effects of Meningitis.

Risks of a vaccine reaction. Soreness, redness, or swelling where the shot is given, tiredness, fatigue, headache, muscle or joint pain, fever, chills, nausea, or diarrhea can happen after meningococcal B vaccine. Some of these reactions occur in more than half of the people who receive the vaccine.

Serious and shouldn't be taken lightly.

Why younger folks, who have a miniscule risk of dying of covid, HAVE to take the shot is beyond me. Low risk groups don't need the vax
 
Oh boy...if you're keeping score at home, Putin and Osama bin Laden's niece are on the Trump bandwagon. Does one really want to be on the same bandwagon as them?

221 cases are being investigated in the US of which 81% are reported to be fully recovered. That means 42 individuals are impacted long-term. How certain are you that the same ratio (or worse) of young adults aren't impacted by Covid 19? How sure are you that these young men can't pass it on to others?

Like the blood clot hysteria before it, this cardiomyopathy needs to be investigated but so far is not a serious matter. Israel for example had this data and still approved it for young adolescents.
