    But you have to admit that they are very appropriately named.

    ...well, now that he's joined his god in the great beyond...

    ...maybe he can explain to this moron what the hell was wrong with his whole shtick about demons and curses and devils.

    ...we sure as hell haven't found any vaccines against any of that stuff yet.

    ...uh...
    ...assuming, of course, that the twit even knows he's dead...;)

    I saw plenty of it at his rallies on tv. Over and over and over. Where were you? Head in the sand?

    Merry covid Christmas: Don’t kiss under the mistletoe, advises British minister

    https://www.washingtonpost.com/world/2021/12/02/christmas-mistletoe-kissing-uk-minister-coronavirus/

    excerpt:

    Her comments prompted a reaction on social media, with many saying they would probably ignore the advice and that loneliness and protecting mental health were important during the pandemic.

    One person tweeted: “I shall kiss whoever I like and as often as I like.” Another said: “Some things are more important than this virus. Let’s stay sensible, but stay human too. … For some lonely people, it’ll be really important.”

    The front page of the Daily Mail newspaper on Thursday read: “Stop being Christmas killjoys, ministers!” Another person online wrote: “It is NOT for the state to tell people whether they can kiss or hug!! Normal human interaction is for individuals to decide.”

    Others also pointed to the fact that earlier this year Britain’s health minister made headlines when he quit after images of him kissing and embracing a colleague in his office, while covid restrictions were in place, enraged the public.

    That’s not proof. I want hard evidence, not hearsay. Remember the big trial we just went through a few weeks ago. When the BS is exposed, we must acquit.

    It's not hearsay you fool, when you see it on video and news broadcasts with the words coming straight out of his mouth. He stood there smiling and egging on the chants of the Covid Hoax, and all his other propaganda minimizing the dangers in front of no mask crowds in MAGA hats.

    SMH at you with your utter nonsense. I'm not debating this with you. You have your head so far buried in the sand it probably sticks out in China somewhere.

    Cry me a river.

    If you were an actual Rocket fan, the inside joke referenced in my above response would not have been lost on you.

    Sauce for the Goose
    Dave Schuler December 1, 2021

    In his New York Times column Bret Stephens pleads that we stop pointing fingers to assign blame for COVID-19:

    Let’s quit arguing that Covid is a red- or blue-state thing. Yes, Republican areas have tended to have lower vaccination rates, but disease trends have a way of switching directions for reasons none of us really understands.

    Let’s stop imputing bad faith or recklessness or greed to our partisan opponents. They have loved ones who are just as much at risk of infection as our own.

    Let’s accept that people have needs and ideas that differ from ours, whether on account of health status, livelihood or deep-seated belief. Lectures, condescension and scorn aren’t going to change the way they think.

    I have no idea what Omicron will bring, and very slight hopes that we’ll be able to exercise any effective form of control over it. But it shouldn’t be beyond asking that we stop being beastly to others. We are all riding out the same storm.

    That plea follows a list, by no means exhaustive, of the finger-pointing going on. Let’s focus on just one, shall we?

    Trump is responsible for hundreds of thousands of Covid deaths that might have been avoided if only someone else had been in the White House! But now Biden has presided over even more deaths, not that anyone should blame him for it.

    If you can’t stand the heat, get out of the kitchen. I think that Candidate Biden was out-of-bounds in blaming President Trump for the COVID-19 deaths on his watch but once he had said that it became completely fair game to blame President Biden for the COVID-19 deaths on his. It’s a near-perfect example of something I’ve held up as the gold standard: model in your own behavior the behavior you want to see in others.

    Additionally, I think there’s a distinction that needs to be made between commission and omission. If the policies you put in place, the acts you commit, have adverse consequences, it should always and everywhere be completely fair to assign blame for them. However, if you are actually working with alacrity, blaming you for not doing enough should be out-of-bounds it is equally always and everywhere wrong to assign blame unless you have set the precedent by doing that to your political opponents.

    “Myside bias” is an impediment in dealing with any real world problem not just COVID-19 but it appears to be a dominant feature of today’s debate. IMO it’s a factor in the positions on wearing masks, lockdowns, vaccines, non-vaccine treatments, etc.

    I also think that there was no real hope of containing or, indeed, doing anything but adapting to COVID-19 after around September 2019 and the issue quickly became tangled with national standing on the part of the Chinese. But that’s a topic far-removed from the point Mr. Stephens is making.

    I know the joke but sure, you can’t convince me or anyone that have read your posting patterns what you meant. You have done it already in the past, wishing ill shiet on other people. You’re kind of mean and nasty if you asked me. I can have a good ribbing and back and forth with other posters, but I never want to wish harm or bad things to happen to anyone.

    Can’t say the same about you. Have a nice day!
