I lost 4 people to Covid in the early days. The board may not like it, but they would still be here had they had access to the vax.

Sorry for your losses, but there’s no way you can guess that.

This summer will be 30 years I’ve worked ICU. I wasn’t one of the “ICU Staff” purportedly from various hospitals seen on social media videoing stupid choreographed dance routines, it was busy in my ICU.

One constant with Covid (particularly in the more lethal early days before and after the vax became available) was there was no rhyme/reason to it. At times healthier vaxxed people died, while obese unvaxxed people with every risk factor known to man walked out of the hospital perfectly fine.

Spent almost 14 hours working in the ICU, didn’t watch the game or the bunny.
Pulled for Seattle solely because two Gamecocks are on the team, otherwise just wasn’t interested. Life’s too busy.

More bait for idiots. No aliens have visited this planet. It is not possible. If you think so, you have no grasp of the size of the universe. Dont give me that bullshite about other dimensions or bending space-time.

You have no idea what’s possible. The Wright brothers flew 125 years ago, or so?

When someone calls about a family member in a mental health crisis, a mobile crisis team should be sent out; not the police. Unless of course, the person is committing a crime, then both should be called out. It’s not rocket science. It’s mental healthcare.

---

So what does the “mobile crisis team” do when the person advances on them with a weapon?
Run? Hide? Get killed?

I watched a YouTube video on Haiti and it was scary and horrific. Sad for the good folk down there. I have to go to the Dominican Republic for a week and should not have educated myself in this instance.

Pretty sure there’s a wall guarded by armed guards separating Haiti and the DR. You’ll be fine.

Really? I don’t recall riots, daily assaults against LEO’s, or multiple legal actions taken with the intent of bankrupting or putting Obama in prison for the rest of his life.

OR, and hear me out, crazy people and easily influenced people respond to tip lines.

There’s one out on X now that has nutjob liberals all excited, one woman (who had called LEO’s on other occasions and had received 3 psych referrals) claimed in 1995-96 she was trafficked/raped at one of Trumps golf courses, she witnessed trafficking/rape there, she was told if she told anyone they’d bury her on the back nine with other victims, and that she witnessed Robin Leach murder a young girl.

All admittedly terrible stuff if true.

Problem is, that course wasn’t even built in 95-96, the land was grasslands tied up in a legal dispute over building the course. The course was finally finished close to 2000, when it was damaged by a landslide and the builder went under.

Trump had never even been involved. He bought the defunct damaged course in 2002, had to redo it, it wasn’t even opened until 2006.

This seems ridiculous. That's essentially just taking from the public and I have trouble believing it has caused him 10 billion in damages.

Apparently $10 billion is a discount from what he could actually sue for per violation.

Kinda like the Southern States dependency on federal dollars vs contributing? ie: Mississippi & LA, as the highest? Red States of course.

Why do you hate poor black people?

He needs his license suspended or revoked, barring that he’ll just get a job somewhere else.
