@St-Sinner Old joke sums up so much.
An American asks an old Irish guy "Can you tell me how to get to Cork?"
"Well if I were you. I would not have started from here"
From what I understand, the infrastructure bill is a start and a hesitant one at that but a start. Although just to put it into perspective. China is spending 5 times as much on infrastructure,,, not in China but in Africa and not as a Chinese only project but in conjuncture/consultation with international bodies.

@St-Sinner You never seemed to be that short of money when it came to corporate bailouts, tax breaks and COVID relief. Not to mention having the most expensive military in the world and 20 - 40 years in Afghanistan. But hey that was "good debt"

@redbai Ffs do you guys really need several court hearings and a supreme court judgement every time to dot all the "I" s?

@redbai The question was; "Would you be more or less anxious in a plane if you knew that the pilot was a devout Christian/Muslim? Sure atheism was mentioned specifically but if the pilot was not a believer then what would they be? The obvious point of the question is - believing pilot or non-believing pilot because if the fact that a believing pilot causes you any increased anxiety? Then the alternative is obviously atheist.

Could have been allergies, common cold, but they are protected from covid which is more easily blocked by the methods being used, cold viruses can last a long time on surfaces covid not so much, killed by sunlight easily
273kelvin replies on Aug 20, 2021:
There`s a guy I mentioned a few times, James Lovelock, Co-creator of the Daisyworld simulation on climate. Anyway, in a previous job he worked at the common cold centre. His conclusions were that colds were spread by surface contact rather than being airborne.
However, the good news on COVID is that surface contact is very slight. Recent tests on UK mainline train stations found hardly any COVID virus on any of the common surfaces like stair rails etc.

@St-Sinner The Commonwealth is the biggest ex-wives club in the world. Maybe a testament to how we weren't the worst c^nts as colonialists. Afganistan is not a member because we fucked them up as well. Despite/because of the fact that their only major industry/export is smack dealer to the world.
If you examine the USA's record there, then it is on par. So Russia goes in and the US floods the place with guns (because guns solve everything, right?) after 8 years of civil war (in which Bin laden paid/supplied by the US). Not one jot of reconstruction aid or assistance came from the US. Then after 9/11, you got another 20 years of death and destruction. Imagine you are a 55-year-old Afgan? All of your life has seen US arms killing your people. The Taliban are terrible but at least they are stable -ish. Given the choice which way would you go to keep your family safe?
About the main international repercussion, that is going to happen is that the price of heroin will go up.

If you're lucky maybe you've had a century or more building infrastructure etc and the natives aren't that hostile, then you might stand a chance but even then it can go tits up big style like India.

@St-Sinner The one main point I take umbrage with is Trump as an electoral asset. Remember that he lost the popular vote to Hillary (the worst candidate since McGovern). Lost the house - twice, lost the senate and lost to Biden (the 2nd worst... ). As for Jan 6th, the special committee is uncovering new outrages daily and the DOJ will catch up with them eventually (ie 2022). Meanwhile, all Trump has to say is "We woz robbed) and we know how tired that gets if you have a sports buddy who does it.
You guys make me laugh when you talk about "progressive policies". Sure Bernie and the gang of 4 can propose the mildly leftish ideas like $15 min wage and expanding healthcare but they have a snowflakes chance in hell of getting past the corporate payola of the house/senate. Ffs you guys think that universal healthcare is progressive. Just how socialist do think countries like Japan and the other 48 top industrial nations are? I can give you 10 sound capitalist/business reasons why it works.
But at least some Dems have policies. All the GOP has atm is culture wars and antiscience.

Granted Biden is no FDR but I doubt he will run again in 2024. What is going to sink the GOP is its attachment to a maniacal loser. Add to that the anti-mask/anti-vax stand and they are akin to the pope against Galileo.
Maybe US voters are not that stupid but that's just a maybe?

CNN Brianna calls out Tucker Carlson, he is white rage

How is this mediocre Briana Keillor suddenly a hero at CNN? She always was a newsreader and now she is their biggest anchor? Looks like bad days for traditional media after the internet advt started sucking off their Dollars.
273kelvin replies on Jun 30, 2021:
@St-Sinner To call what Tucker does a debate is like calling professional wrestling a sport. They are both entertainment shows. Carlson's own lawyers propounded this and a judge agreed with them.
By debate, I mean a level playing field, equal time and muted mics when an opponent tries to shout over you. In other words the 2nd presidential debate. The fact that Carlson is popular means nothing other than a testament to the gullibility of the American people. I bet there are tons of Americans that think that wrestling is real too.
I have never seen him take on and win against anyone from the US left (ie Christian democrat or social democrat, coz that's as far as you guys go) and win. Sure he will shout them out, cut their mic or "well that's all we have time for". But win? no. Like Emperor Marcus Aurelius, he will only agree to face blunt swords.

@St-Sinner Wow T**** managed to beat the worst candidate since McGovern (but still lost the popular vote) and it's like he single-handedly planted the flag on Iwo Jima.
I do not belittle Carlson or T**** because they are conservatives. There are many conservatives I would readily go for a pint with despite their political views. It is the fact that they are worse than crap. T****, enough has been said but Carlsons logic has all the substance of a Potemkin village made out of meringue. A Carlson argument will go something like this;
"Here is a bus, it is red, we can all see it is red, therefore busses are red. If it is not red? Then it cannot rightfully be called a bus at all. The left wants to introduce green busses. What is wrong with that I hear you ask? Well, according to a recent paper by no less a person than the professor of omnibus studies at Princeton. "Red busses are far better and make children happier". Why does the left want to ban something that makes our children happier?"

@Gator I agree that Trump probably would have been re-elected had not COVID happened. However, that is not saying much. The incumbent has a historical 3-1 advantage over any challenger. Also, as I think I may have stated before, without Hitler invading Poland, Churchill would have been just a footnote in history. The fact is that it did happen and Trump was not only found to be extremely deficient but actively harmful. Even at the end of his term, he kept quiet about being personally vaccinated.
As to him not achieving much. He did not have a lot of policies, to begin with. A lot of general platitudes like "Draining the swamp" (ironic as many think his administration has been the most corrupt since Harding). As for one term, more like 1/2 a term if you factor in his work hours and golf trips. The things he did enact were low hanging fruit like tax cuts for the mega-rich. Due to the payola nature of American politics, this passed like prunes on all-bran. But his wall, for which he had a mandate did not. Why? well, there ain't no money in that for big corps, that's why.
I agree that Biden is not ideal. Yes, he is getting on a bit and not the man he was. As for the Manchurian candidate? I think that might apply more to Trump and the pee-pee tape than Biden. Certainly, his record on Russia backs that up. That fact is that Biden is not Trump and that was all he needed. Just like Carter was not Nixon or the GOP that put him there. In that respect, you cannot call him out for choosing a strong team of advisers to help him. Moreover, it is totally absurd to call him in any way progressive. There is a raft of popular bills that the Dems could and should enact but he refuses to end the filibuster. These include a $15 min wage and universal health care. Which if you fact-check, you will find that the vast majority of Americans want. Again we see the hand of big money in US legislation.

The point is not about Biden or Bush's former addictions. The point is the disastrous 4-year presidency of Trump. You have failed to address any of the facts I presented. The legacy of his personality cult could very easily bring down America. It has already destroyed the Republican party.

@Gator Okay Gator I would ask you to consider this. As you can see I am a Brit living in the UK so I don`t get Fox or CNN. No Tucker or Medrow, just the facts mam, just the facts. This is how the Reps look like now;
Imagine you are watching a debate between a fundamentalist Christian and nearly anyone off this site. Let's call them C and Ag respectively. C is arguing that the earth is only 6,500 years old and god made it all. Ag has fossil records, carbon dating, all of the science etc. But C always comes back with "The bible says". The same book that has talking snakes etc...
Now on one hand you have a man of dubious character, previous grift (Trump University) and proven serial liar. On the other the facts:
Firstly you have the fact that Trump was a reality-TV star. Who does those things? Do really successful people at the top of their game do it? No. The real deal guys are too busy doing it to have cameras around them 24/7. So you get Ozzy Osborne, not Kieth Richards and you don't get Branson or Bezos you get Trump or Arnie.
Trump did not win the popular vote in 2016 against the worst candidate since McGovern.
Trump lost the house in 2018.
Trump did have a successful economy but on the back of sound financial programmes by Obama and at the cost of vastly increasing the nat. debt.
Trump lost the election to Biden (Marginally better than Hillary but not by much).
Trump lost the senate.
Jan 6th!!!
Under his watch, the USA experienced huge civil unrest from both sides. The buck stops with him, especially when he sought to fan the flames.
His management of the pandemic has been abysmal. He turned public health issues into political footballs and the USA lost lives (and is still losing them).
He has and still is, destroying faith in American democracy. At no time since the civil war has America been in so much turmoil. As the captain of that ship, the responsibility lies solely with him.
Now should you wish to respond to these facts? I would ask you to counter them with facts also, not the equivalent of "The bible says"
PS. No whataboutism either

@bbyrd009 Grrrrr! You have obviously never been taught how to drink a good whiskey. (You're a Yank so it`s understandable). Cold dulls the taste. This is why lager is so bland.
To drink a single malt properly, it should be at room temperature. You may add a little mineral water if you desire (also at room temp). After taking in the colour and aroma, the first sip should be slowly rolled around your pallet. As it warms, all the hidden flavours come to light like a good looking woman undressing before your eyes.

Putting ice in a single malt whisky is a sin, period.

@HippieChick58 What nothing scary? No Hitchcock etc, just Jennifer Anniston and Disney movies?
All stories have the same basic theme, protagonists - adversity - triumph. Without the fear element in the adversity part, then there is not that much adversity.
Horror accentuates the fear element so that the triumph is the greater.
Dr Who is a rather unique hero. An alien being in love with humanity but unlike US comic-book types like Superman, he (now she) always needs the help of ordinary people to save the world. So we can all identify with the protagonists. This episode drags you in brilliantly. Give it 5 -10 minutes and see.
Ps, If you do watch it, I will take one of your recommendations.

@Triphid These are post-Darlek monsters.
That`s what makes this my favourite episode. The Darleks are scary on a philosophical, vocal and (to a degree, stairs used to beat them) physical level. The weeping angels are so more cinematic and visual. Two major reasons for this. Firstly, a huge increase in production values and most importantly my second point, the writing. The guys who made this episode were the kids that hid behind the sofa to the Darleks.
These are post-Darlek monsters.
"How can I make a scarier monster than the Daleks?" You can hear Stephen Moffet think in his bedroom. Weeping monsters are just that. They include both children and adults fears. The scariest thing is a child bedroom when they are afraid to close their eyes. The biggest adult fear is that of a stolen future. The fact that the Doctor is sent back to 1969 is deliberate. The age of Aquarius turned to global warming. Tell me what is scarier than that?

One quirky little Brit film where he plays himself in and actually co-stars a guy I know is; "Looking for Eric". It's about a postal worker that is mentally falling apart. His only true friend that he can be open with, is in fact imaginary, in the shape of Eric Cantona. It looks at mental illness with humour and sensitivity. As "Eric" becomes his imaginary therapist/confessor.

@Triphid I had a friend and neighbour who got a backdated sickness benefit cheque for £666. The problem came because she was suffering from paranoid schizophrenia.

Those are skewed stats because the year is only 2 months old and the pandemic was over 1 year under the last administration, also the vaccine was only released at the end of last year so again the comparison is a moot point.

The points you make are valid but also need to be placed next to T----s "Operation warp speed". Which not only did not have the military delivering a vaccine to your door before the election. It also did not have the manufacturing and distribution set up at any meaningful level when they became available

Suit yourself, Aaron. Over 30,000 volunteers tested with one person having side effects. Since then, a couple million people vaccinated and nobody got really ill. So, I'll take my chances with the vaccine--rather than wait to see how I would do with the actual virus.

@azzow2 Point taken but most of the problems were with vaccines taken from strains of the virus itself. From what I understand, the COVID vaccines have been made from a neutralised chimpanzee virus and genetically modified to fight COVID. As in all these things, we cannot be 100% sure of any long term effects. We can only be as sure as we can make it. However, considering the short and long term effects of COVID-19 itself, it is a risk worth taking.

@azzow2 The pharmaceutical companies do not write the rules. They are set down by international standards with some regional differences. These are published and peer-reviewed. So in many ways, they are a lot safer than the aeroplane you will readily fly in. (No one replicates Boeings experiments) Also there has never been any long term problems with any vaccine ever. Unlike drugs that have had quite a sordid history.

@Admin Let us look at his words in true context...
When armed militia entered the state capitols of Michigan and other states. He called them "Patriots"
When asked to condemn the Proud Boys in the debate he said "Stand down and stand by" (Stand by for what we might ask?)
After the election, he continued to espouse misinformation of voter fraud. To the extent that hardly any of his base believe that the elections were fair. Even though no proof has come to light and BOTH of his appointees in the DOJ and DHS said there was none.
He refused to condemn the attempted kidnapping of the Mi governor.
He then called on his supporters to come to Washington for a "Stop the steal" rally. ( A clear violation of the Hatch Act but we kinda stopped worrying about little niceties like that ages ago)
(At this point any responsible person might think that there might be some trouble and maybe tone down the rhetoric, however...)
On the day of the rally when Gulliani called for "Trial by combat". Trump son says "We are coming for you". Trump then ... “This egregious assault on our democracy,” he said his supporters should “walk down to the Capitol.”— “We are going to cheer on our brave senators and congressmen and women,” he continued, “and we are probably not going to be cheering so much for some of them — because you will never take back our country with weakness.”
(Exactly where was he expecting his supporters to be cheering from? A respectful distance, all 6 feet apart through muffled masks at closed windows?)
With all this one MUST bear in mind that he is not just some guy, He is the POTUS. His words carry weight (if no substance). You call a mob to come to Washington. Knowing full well that far-right elements and a lot of angry people will be there. (You cannot tell me that there were no security briefings about what might happen.) Then you tell them to walk to the capitol and "you will never take back our country with weakness.” Well just what the f*ck did he think was going to happen? Oh and after it did happen "We love you...You are very special people."
Okay let me put this another way;
There is a guy at the local bar going on and on about how there is a paedo in our community. He says that the police will do nothing and then goes into graphic detail about the acts he alleges have been happening. All night he rants on about this guy and when the bar is about to close he says; Let's walk round to the guy's house and show him how we feel about him. Adding "We have to show strength here"
So then a mob breaks into the guy's house and beats him to death. To what extent was that ranter responsible?

The Queen has the best Tommy Cooper story. It was after a royal variety show where the royals walk down the line of entertainers. The Queen goes 1st with the D of E next and a whole load of minors after. Etiquette states that she offers you her hand, not you. She speaks 1st and you answer etc. till she moves on to the next.
Tommy is in line and the Queen spends a minute talking to him then moves on. Cooper then calls out "Excuse me, ma'am"
"Pardon?"
"Excuse me"
"Yes" As she walks back to address him the whole entourage has to back up down the line.
"Do you like football?"
"Not particularly no, why do you ask?"
"Well can I have you cup final tickets then?"

@JeffMurray Like I said, we know all this but the MAGAs cling to the lie that the 60 cases were not heard because of procedural/standing issues. In a criminal case, the defendant is entitled to mount a defence and all their so-called evidence of fraud would be admissible. Unlike the Senate hearing, their expert witnesses that claim statistical impossibilities would be subject to cross-examination and rebuttal witnesses. Their sworn affidavits and eyewitnesses open to scrutiny.
A similar thing happened in the UK with Diana's death. It achieved 2 things. Firstly it showed why you should not let grieving relatives near the judicial system. Secondly, it gave a free airing to all the conspiracy theories and let then shrivel in the light of day. Finding eventually that travelling unseatbelted at 80+ mph through a capital city with a chemically impaired driver can prove deadly.

@JeffMurray We accept that but the Trumpers do not. A criminal trial for the phone call and the riot would allow Trumpers to see all his evidence of fraud.

@JeffMurray This is now but events are still close. After the 20th Trump will no longer have much of a platform. Sure this would have been the case anyway except that now he has no social media outlets. Without 1/6/20 it would have been withering on the vine as he repeated "I wos robbed" as court cases mounted. Now, we have the end result of his ideology to point to. Rather like the Sid Vicious version of "My Way". It is disgusting but its what happens when you go down that anarchistic road.
There will be as there already are many attempts to blame Antifa or BLM for 1/6/20 but as the court cases unfold it will be impossible to maintain. As too will the libel case against Powel by Dominion.

@JeffMurray I am NOT saying that this was not Trumps doing. What I am saying was that he was set up to fail. That there were lots of people in the administration that could have made a point of beefing up the security but did not and their motives were not pro-Trump.
273kelvin comments on Jan 9, 2021:
Okay, let us imagine that the authorities did their job properly and security had been beefed up the way it should have been? What happens next? After a night-long pissing contest at the barriers, The MAGA hats go home and Trump remains.
The GOP is left with a volatile idiot waning star.
Now I am ...

Except we're not hearing support from Senate Republicans for conviction of impeachment, so that doesn't sound like it could be right. They could easily condemn the behavior and pledge their support for removal but they haven't and they likely won't. They still support him because they are disgusting...

@JeffMurray Someone (I think it was "Occupy Democrats") showed a video of a proud boy throwing down his Trump flag in disgust. Saying "Fuck you Trump"

Don't forget the local cops -- the anti-democrat, own-the-libs, right-wing, cops.😡
Edit: Change that to Capitol Police and local cops.

Flowerwall comments on Jan 9, 2021:
I agree. This looks like something fishy. To call it insurrection would mean there was a plan to take over the government. Obviously, noone had a plan beyond that initial storming. This was a capitol riot. And there may have been coordination, but that would be determined by investigation. So Dems ...

Such a surreal period. Obviously an attempted power grab with planning and coordination. Not sure what would have happened if they got hold of pence and Pelosi. Bet we won’t know all the details for years.

I wouldn't say it's a conspiracy. When you watch the video of cops opening the doors for the rioters to enter the building, that pretty much turns "theory" into fact.

@JeffMurray "He still dictates how the vast majority of Republican votes will be cast" ?? Does he?
Hardcore MAGAs like the proud boys are disgusted at his betrayal in the invaders. MOR Trumpists are ditto at the invaders. Sure there are some die-hards left but his star has fallen big time and the GOP (and the American people) are the winners.
