I’m surprised no one has thought to start some kind of class action lawsuit again the various Repub Governors who have outlawed masks, downplayed vaccines, etc.

If one has money to do that, but in this economy, most people don’t have the money and part of the reason for the economy is again the Repugs doing. Trick down and Reaganomics do not work.

@djtexas

Their roots are with the flatearhrers and anti science

That’s no surprise.

Yes, there is a very great possibility Lollapalooza will be a superspreader. Not just a possibility- it will be, if it’s not already. However, it isn’t necessarily the government allowing the superspreader. I don’t know who is allowing it. I don’t think anyone knows, except those hosting it. Then again, it might be the government. They…[Read more]

Not when it’s killing people and not just the ones who are refusing to get vaccinated. Unvaccinated often kill more than just themselves with a disease and that’s not funny. Flat Earthers leave their children uneducated, as well as ignorant, which is child abuse, and that’s not funny either.

SMH @djtexas you think stupidity and keeping one’s children uneducated is comedy material? I find it irritating, annoying, and in cases like COVID-19, down right maddening.

@djtexas

Mriana – your skipping over the important bit.

The point is about lockdowns in the time of rising cases.

No I’m not. I like the lockdowns personally. That was one of the things, besides masks that flatten the curve. I have no clue what people had a problem with the lockdowns. No one was forcing them to stay in their homes. T…[Read more]

This is what happens when one gets the twisties and the physical damage that can occur, including head injuries, which means there’d be no gold, silver or bronze if it happened, but @thatoneguy doesn’t give a damn if she died of TBI, as long as she performed like a circus animal. He still wouldn’t see the U.S. get the gold, at least not her…[Read more]

@djtexas I’m not worried about what write4u is saying. I’m fully vaccinated AND wear a mask in public. I’m more concerned about the dimwits who aren’t vaccinated, causing all the efforts of those of us who are smart to get vaccinated to become null and void because the unvaccinated get infected and cause the virus to evolve until it become…[Read more]

Stress comes with the territory. If you can’t hack it then you suck. End of story.

Or maybe you care about yourself enough not to get hurt. The kind of stress athletes endure doesn’t have to come with the territory. How do you know what comes with the territory? Are you an olympian? You seem to expect olympians to endure i…[Read more]

BTW, Fauci did not say “no lockdowns” nor did he reject that idea. He said, “”I don’t think we’re gonna see lockdowns. I think we have enough of the percentage of people in the country — not enough to crush the outbreak — but I believe enough to not allow us to get into the situation we were in last winter. But things are going to get worse,” Fau…[Read more]

@djtexas

Do you?

Do I what?

And also his demand for forced vaccinations for all?

Hold them down and inject them with the vaccine? That’s just evil, but if you mean mandate them for employment, travel, school, etc yes. It’s just plain stupid to leave oneself open to a deadly virus that spreads like wildfire and killing others. However, that…[Read more]

What I really don’t understand is why people who have no conception of what’s involved, are so easy to judge and condemn.

I don’t understand it either. Maybe it’s just a total lack of compassion or maybe it’s ignorance of the psychological and physical stress an athlete of her status endures or both. He obviously didn’t lis…[Read more]

@djtexas you’re putting words to what my post. I never once said anything about martial law. You did.

Shouldn’t the thread title be “Fauci says no to lockdowns”?

Probably, since he’s the one who’s noted as saying it.

@thatoneguy I’m an avid Olympic gymnastic viewer AND I use to do gymnastics, as well as dance. Please don’t tell me what I am when you don’t even know me. Seems to me you don’t understand gymnastics and I find it very unfair of you to demand she be a GOAT or be like Atlas.

@djtexas the dotard and his following is nothing more than a death cult and as write4u said, what you’re spewing is the dotard and Repug propaganda. Funny thing is, a lot of the people not wearing masks, getting vaccinated, and rejecting lockdowns are Repugs. Many of them are dying with the delta variant. They were also dying before. The…[Read more]

@djtexas not if we are for vaccinations, masks, lockdowns, and everything else to keep people healthy and safe from COVID-19, as well as other illnesses. I’m vaccinated against everything I can get a vaccine for, including COVID-19 and I still wear a mask. I would not call any of that comedy material. I take prevention of serious and deadly…[Read more]

Scientists work with knowledge. The public took the controllers of knowledge and turned them into gods. Then the people prayed to the gods to give them and their children some of that knowledge. The gods lived in the sun and sent that knowledge by sunlight to the people.

Right. That’s a load of horse puckies. What you obviously…[Read more]

How fickle are the sport fans? A sport’s person can be the undisputed world champion for years and 1 day that person does not feel “right” he or she is branded and ridiculed by people who feel cheated because their expectations were not satisfied.

Apparently so. I don’t understand how people turn on her so easily, expecting her t…[Read more]

Biles doesn’t have to be an “alpha male”, she just had to perform.

So she’s a GOAT (Greatest Olympian of All Time), Greatest Olympian in the World, meant to perform like an animal in a circus, carrying the world on her shoulders, like Atlas, whether she likes it or not, no matter how she feels? That’s just nice of you. She might as well be a…[Read more]
