Even this seems like more than that bastard deserves.

Nah, it’ll be in the arm like everywhere else.

Can you show us where someone said he is the end all be all of QBs? All I've seen is people wanting him to get a chance and QB sneaks lol.

I dont get the disdain from the person quoted by you, for the hope some of us have for a guy that played a large part in winningg the cup, and who clearly liked wpg. I support streveller. call me a fan boy I guess.

I've heard that another contributing factor was that nobody had to stop between stages to try and raise money for the next stage because it had already been allocated, unlike when they are doing other vaccines. All of the trials and stages are taking the usual amount of time without the red tape to slow things down.

When we look back at this we are going to be amazed at how fast the vaccines came out. I remember in the spring in this very thread people where saying that it would take years before there would be a vaccine. It's a amazing what can be done when a major crisis like this happens.

Certainly, the most important disinformation speech he’s ever made. Give him a bottle and some Goya beans and send him on his way... And it’s a beautiful chart. I think Kayleigh drew it up. It was in one of her binders.

Yeah, no. I am going to get mine as soon as I can. I'll chance the possibility of becoming the "Undead" over the actual dead.

No one should ever have the power to grant a preemptive pardon. Bizarre, absurd and ridiculous to even entertain this notion.

Little miss trumpette goes further down the hole. She’s nuts...

Historian Ruth Ben-Ghiat: Trump's coup is not over; his enablers aren't done. Author of "Strongmen": We're in a dangerous "state of exception," and it's too early to say democracy will hold By DEAN OBEIDALLAH DECEMBER 2, 2020 11:00AM (UTC) Dismiss Donald Trump and the GOP's attacks on the 2020 election at your peril, warns Ruth Ben-Ghiat, historian and author of the new book, "Strongmen: Mussolini to the Present." In our recent interview for Salon Talks, Ben-Ghiat — a professor of history and Italian studies at NYU — observes that Trump probably hasn't actually studied other leaders in history who transformed functioning democracies into authoritarian regimes. Nonetheless, his actions line up almost perfectly with many who have done just that, from Benito Mussolini in fascist Italy to Vladimir Putin in contemporary Russia. "For the strongman, politics is always personal," Ben-Ghiat explains which may sound ironic given that "strongmen" are all about displaying virility. As she explained in our conversation, they tend to take every slight personally, and that's certainly the case with President Trump, who constantly complains that he's a victim who has been treated unfairly, which for some reason has endeared him even further to his supporters. Even with Trump on his way out in January, Ben-Ghiat makes clear the threat of authoritarianism in America is not over. She explains that the Republican Party is increasingly embracing undemocratic methods to acquire and retain power, from voter ID laws to blocking Barack Obama's nomination of Merrick Garland to the U.S. Supreme Court in 2016. Some GOP elected officials — thankfully, not all — even enabled Trump's efforts to overturn or delegitimize the 2020 election results. https://www.salon.com/2020/12/02/historian-ruth-ben-ghiat-trumps-coup-is-not-over-his-enablers-arent-done/

Any people that I'm aware of who got ill and/or seriously ill from Covid 19, were sick within a week of their exposure. Asymptomatic people will generally test negative.

Rather pay a bit more and go for Popeye's.

I think that the current CPC party, who had credibility under Diefenbaker, Stanfield and Clark has sold its soul to the wingnut Alliance sect, and has become a living example of choosing power over principle. The Alliance bloc with the party holds a disproportionate amount of influence and will continue to do so. This will eventually force out the right-of-center traditional Conservatives and leave the dregs to devolve into a minor-league version of the GOP/Tea Party ruled by the fundamentalists. This will ensure Liberal governments for time to come unless they get really, really stoopid and arrogant.

Remember, Bernier got within a hair of being leader and only lost to Sheer, who thinks that ultra right-wing, anti-facts journalism matters.

When the first words that came out of her mouth was "I will not lie to you", you knew she was delusional from the get go

The CPC party mirrors the leader and the leader mirrors the party. They have drifted so far over to the right that they are nearly over the horizon.

Contrary to what some think.......after this gig, Alternative Blonde will have offers from FOX, ONN, Newmax, and others waiting

Going to get mine, before being trampled by the herd....

Which says a lot about the sad state of the CPC these days. And perhaps the political landscape as a whole here in Canada... Ugh. Also, Derek Sloan is a disgrace.

You’re just not lit enough...

Depressingly true. It's that straightforward and the only realistic way to help the average American if Biden's administration is committed to following through on it's platforms.

There are some nutty Liberals too!

Can't remember the last time we had sub 300 cases b2b, and the tp is going down slowly, a small light at the end of the tunnel, again it's unfortunate but reporting deaths will continue for a while

That nut job was a candidate for the CPC leadership.

That would change nothing as the same fools who elected McConnell and all would simply elect another, equally daft and corrupt senator.

This. It's almost as if the human race and thus civilization as a whole functions more efficiently when we put aside our differences and work together towards a common goal during a world-altering event. Cooperation and compassion can do wonders for us all. Here's hoping this sort of collective mindset can be applied to solving other important global issues in the 21st century.

I was originally going to post this in the Covid thread... but I feel it speaks more to the politicization of the Pandemic more than the facts: "A breath-taking moment of situational awareness on live television." I have to say, there should be more recognition of Brian Williams' masterful shade-throwing ability.

Outgoing Obama administration warned the incoming one, that Flynn was a ardent admirer of the Russian regime, had questionable dealings with a number of their satellite agents (like in Ukraine) and posed a ongoing security risk. Of course, it turns out that these were exactly the qualities Trump was looking for in a NSA.

I remember reading a thing back in March/April, when this first all went down, about the scientists working on the vaccine. It said, essentially, "It's like a hockey team full of Connor McDavid's and Sidney Crosby's all shooting at the same goal. Good things will happen and they'll happen fast. Never before have all the smartest people in the world been working together on a common goal..."

The Flynn flam man pipes in...

https://www.nationalgeographic.com/science/2020/12/arecibo-radio-telescope-in-puerto-rico-collapses/ It sounds like it had been off limits since mid-November after evaluation of the structure determined it was beyond repair. It's too bad as it's such an icon. Remember Goldeneye?

Better- not good but better.

Six months later and all of a sudden the GOP senators care about a relief bill? They're truly some of the most disgusting people to hold office.

The desperation of the Streveler fan boys to see him play and their belief that he is the end all be all but for being held back is rivalling Trump supporters who still believe he lost the election.

He slid into his new clothes wayyyyyy too easily. I imagine Sheer is headed there too. Well, the CPCs in general are trying to be big tent with the alt right.

Bernier would be leader now if he didnt get all pissy about losing to 1 term leader.

I think we will be a bit behind in Canada, compared to other countries. So we will benefit from that "testing". I will get it when I can, but am not at the front of the line as far as risk goes (not a healthcare worker or in a home).

100 days? Is that longer than 2 weeks?

Seems to be working in Steinbach only 6 cases today and they have been steadily going down the past week or so.

Yeah but they don't have the guns!

amazing that biden, ,the President, is putting together a cabinet, but Trump continues to be the focus. at least his waxy daughter, spouse are out of view.
