As to the bolded: I think there are professional civil employees/ competent bureaucrats that likely have some excellent ideas as far as regulations go. I would argue that it's the politicians that fuk it all up since they generally care far more about being elected than providing real solutions.

It is obvious. Unfortunately, we spend our time slap fighting over who's more at fault while we elect leaders that have zero motivation to change anything.

Like election fraud, Biden’s criminality, entire cities burning to the ground, and peaceful selfie-fests? No, there are a lot of people that care about their fellow humans that keep me in good company. What about you? Are you finding fulfillment mucking through the gutter, perpetuating hate and division?

IDGAF if someone is wearing a mask in public. Why do you get all judgy when others do shlt you don't understand or wouldn't do if it doesn't affect you in the least? Why the fuk do you care? What are these people doing that gets you so spun out? Talk about using common sense. From my perspective, you're just a miserable, judgmental troll that gets off on making people "others" so YOU can feel superior to them. That's what this culture war BS you engage in is all about, after all: grown ass adults' insecurity about "others." And of course themselves, but none will admit that. You're right about ONE thing: I DO feel superior to you, simply because I care about other people regardless of how they worship, look, think, and act. You should try it sometime. I mean you're a giant gaping asssshole, but I wish you no ill despite the fact that you'd rather "put me down like a rabid dog" than listen to anything I say. Have a great day!

Hoo boy! I'm busy, anyone else wanna pluck this low hanging fruit?

I wouldn't expect you to understand the morality behind sacrificing a bit of your own comfort for the safety and well being of others. That's what decent people do.

Prove what, exactly? Influenza cases plummeted nationwide while people were wearing masks everywhere due to covid.

Highly infectious diseases were never a political issue until you-know-who was elected. Biggest reason he wasn't re-elected was his complete failure to make a public health issue a unifying catalyst for Americans.

Never ceases to amaze me how much the "freedom loving patriots" care about how other people conduct themselves, even when said conduct has ZERO influence on their own lives.

RIF.

Gotcha. It's a shame, but the world needs repellent fukwads like you to show us the evils of being a stupid bigot. Hopefully someday you'll see the light, but until then you can GFY.

I heard over the weekend that the 49ers have the most available cap room in the league right now, so you're right about this. Seems to me they think some of the younger guys will produce well enough that they can trade Aiyuk and get some kind of return.

This 100%. It's the campaign wisely keeping her away from potentially bad moves in the public eye this close to the convention. What is the media supposed to do if the campaign doesn't make her available? They aren't running cover for her, her campaign is just being smart and letting Donald cook himself as much as possible before letting her out of dry dock. The less time she has to do and say stupid crap, the better.

I've lived in big and small cities, tiny towns, and counties with a population density under 2 ppl/square mile; areas so sparse they're not called rural, but frontier. I’ve met plenty of people in rural areas are scared of big cities. Literally. They are convinced the cities are all crime infested hellholes full of people ready to carjack, assault, rape, or murder you. A psychologist I know told me about clients that shared overwhelming fear and anxiety about going into urban areas. It's real, and not uncommon. Those of us that live in cities laugh at this, of course, while many city dwellers are equally fearful of "the country" because it's just full of ignorant, toothless yokels-- almost like they think Deliverance was a documentary. All of those stereotypes suck, and hinder us from trying to understand each other. Urban liberals can certainly be miserable asswipes; same for small town conservatives. Neither has the market cornered. Reality is that there's great people in both urban and rural settings. I spend time with both, and value them all, unlike you, the guy that claims that all liberals should be put down like rabid dogs (a verbatim quote, IIRC). I have no issues with folks in rural areas, I have issues with fuksticks like you, that unironically call me a bigot then spout bigoted bullshit.

He has never and will never set foot in those cities. Like many rural folks, the BIG CITY is scary and loud and full of bad people that might hurt him or worse: try to turn them into trannies, or liberals, or people that GAF about those that don't look, act, think, or sound just like them. In other words, he's a close-minded coward.

He's been locked in his room with the JD photos for the last couple of hours, challenging himself to outlast the Viagra.

Translation: You're right, I'm a miserable bastard, but not in the way you claim I'm a miserable bastard. Checkmate!

Sorry you can't keep up. I'll sorely miss our debates.

You got banned, but not for what you said? Sure thing. If you knew how to comprehend the written word, you'd realize that I'm not complaining about this, X can suspend accounts to their heart's content. YOU, who think it's hilarious that libs are suspended, claim you had GOOD REASON to be upset when the same happened to Trump but somehow fail to see the disconnect. The rest of your post is pablum, but thanks for giving me another hit of my personal crack: the Trumper's complete ignorance of the thick, dripping irony of their own indefensible hypocrisy.

Libs don't GAF about him being in drag at a Halloween party, but feel compelled to needle the Trumpers over it since they're the ones that turned it into a culture war issue. MAGA is twisting themselves into knots trying to figure out how to be okay with it despite their own programmed need to denounce that behavior. Fascinating social experiment. Funny as hell, too.

Wow, you are not good at reading. I have always firmly agreed that the companies can do whatever they want, they are not the government. I was okay with them booting Trump, and assuming they have actually suspended accounts like you claimed, I'm okay with that, too. What am I bltching about again? Oh yeah, the MAGA that cried endlessly about censorship when Trump deservedly got booted, and are now praising the shoe being on the other foot. Like YOU. Wannabe authoritarians too dense to realize their own political leanings. Like YOU. What was your banned handle you were whining about last week? No doubt you were just a poor innocent victim and that evil Gutterboy MADE you post the vile things that got you banned. MAGA's got nothing to hang an ugly red hat on but victimhood.

Let's see if I'm following you here... you watched the movie, formed your own opinion, and then didn't GAF about what a bunch of randos thought? Congratulations, Supermike! You're a grownup that can think for yourself! Now if you wouldn't mind holding a seminar or publishing a journal to help some of our more challenged brethren get over their idiocy you truly would be SUPER.

Like I said, it's only a problem when "your side" gets "censored." The authoritarian lean so many MAGA display is noted, and ugly. Far left cultists, LOFL.

DiDnt happen ExxONnerrrr8ED!

Wait-- I thought that was CENSORSHIP!!! How dare Twitter do that!%$#@&^%$ Totally OK with you if it happens to someone other than Trump, huh? And before you chime back with some insufferable nonsense, yes, Musk has EVERY RIGHT to suspend their accounts, for no good reason other than he feels like it. That's how it works with private companies and it's not censorship.
