Funny how Lucy is all against lockdowns but suddenly best response is ultimate lockdown.
Compromise was the point. (I shouldn't have to write that last part, but in this forum you have to preemptively explain/defend yourself).

This.
Using China was hilarious .

Your own link refutes your statement in 2 ways

Well it turns out there’s a bit of heartburn about how the source for this was a White supremicist who lied to gain access to government race data to write a paper that argued Black people have lower IQs and also may have been attempting to pump and dump Eric Adams shares on PredictIt.

Based on the profile there’s a pretty solid chance Luciom wrote it himself!


Seriously, why the **** do people care so much about who the mayor of New York is?

Like, ok that dude has some terrible ideas. Who cares? Let em try and fail then.

I'm sure it's gonna sound bad but I loved empty cities during covid and total silence.
I've read some people have some regret syndrome of that time (for different reasons).

nb: that obviously doesn't mean I was happy with people getting covid/hurt/dying.

Empty planes were nice. Having whole sections of seats to yourself....Flew on a frontier flight from South Carolina to Denver that had like 15 people on it.

Some conservative msm outlets claim he praised five people convicted of funnelling millions to Hamas in one of his rap tunes. Dunno if it's true or bs, but if true, that would be a legit concern.

Isn't the U.S. government "funneling millions" of taxpayer dollars to enable Zionism?

(okay, it's whataboutism --- sue me!)

Are you equating "Zionism"- whatever that's actually supposed to mean- with terrorist groups like Hamas?

May or may not be fair to Hamas to make such a comparison.

Obviously Hamas is evil. That said, Hamas has slaughtered far fewer civilians and children than Israel.

Are you implying Israel is more evil than Hamas? Spit it out mate. Also are you aware Pat Buchanan has been accused of anti Semitism, has stanned for Nazi war criminals and claimed The extermination camp Treblinka wasn't an extermination camp? It's just that you approvingly quoted his canard re Jewish puppetmasters controlling the US government, so I'm wondering where you're going with all this?

I guess there is a threshold of how many innocent civilian you are allowed to kill without being called an extremist , evil or terrorist state .

IMO it’s hard to equate unlimited killing with the words decency, humanity or any other synonymous meaning shrug

Maybe the magic number for Jews to start seeing the light of freedom is when they reach 6 millions civilians killing .

Bc the entire point of American liberals is to destroy anyone left of George W Bush. So they hate Mamdani more than Trump.

You’re full of accidentally hilarious quips today

when Iran came to the liberal NYT with hacked info about JD Vance, the NYT was like oh no, we wont run that story bc Iran are evil. when a white supremacist incel liar came to them with absolutely meaningless info about Mamdani, they were all like oh we gotta expose this guy!

Ok that part is true and screw the NYT for that, but I still don’t follow how that means that liberals want to destroy anyone left of GWB. NYT doesn’t represent all liberals, obviously, and many were mad at them for not reporting on the JD Vance hacks.

1. If you go by dead innocent civilians, Israel is more evil. Oct 7th was pure evil. on the part of Hamas The Israeli response was 'overkill'. Even a former Israeli PM has condemned the current Israeli goverment of sponsoring genocide.

2. Buchanan has been of accused of anti-Semitism. Kinda like almost everyone else who criticizes Israel. Buchanan's antagonist on Crossfire, Michael Kinsley (who is Jewish) thought the charge was unfounded.

3. Buchanan has many views I disagree with. So what?

4. I think we should provide humanitarian support in the middle east, but not aid and abet either side in mass killings of innocent folks.

In California Liquor stores were considered an "essential business."

although i agree with this in sentiment, it was probably a public health decision

very bad things would happen if the likely hundreds of thousands of functioning alcoholics in california were going through withdrawal and resorted to crazy things to get their fix and/or overwhelm hospitals as they need medical assistance going through withdrawal

Except supermarkets and 7-11's also sell alcohol.

very good point


by whatthejish

Do you know what a food desert is?

I do, but I don't think that means it was worse to make it difficult for alcoholics in those areas to not be able to find nearby alcohol than for everyone in those areas to not be able to find nearby food. Restaurants were closed as well.


by Gorgonian

As far as I know, yes. I won't say 100% but the overwhelming majority did.

I believe in all of the west coast they stayed closed for much longer. Almost all of the following school year.

At least this was true of the schools in Portland where I live, and those in San Diego where by nephews live.

Ugh, I had to pay to ride buses and trains near-full of very stinky people.
