The press just doesn't cover it. A number of Democratic politicians have gotten it. People on the New Mexico governor's staff have gotten it recently and she is one of the most totalitarian governors out there.

Well he has fallen down on non-judicial appointments. He's allowed the Democrats to misuse the filibuster and bog down the administration.

It's wonderful that McConnell found time for this and nothing else, over 200,000 deaths and the economy heading down the tubes and this is the priority.

Blaming McConnell that's funny...…. How much PORK did the dumbocrats put in the over priced bill for special projects? Write a bill that only has essentials: Covid supplies, housing for people who have Covid, money for the people out of work DUE TO COVID(not more than they normally make) A bill that would pass for the American people

All the lockdowns and the face masks do is slow the progress of the virus down a bit. None of that stops anything. It just drags everything out and makes it take longer for us to get through it.

Most of us will get this virus. Our immunity systems are in the vast majority of cases equipped to deal with it effectively. Some others will get sick. A small portion of those will die, just as they do from the flu, or other viruses and bacterial infections.

That is life. It ends for all of us. We are all expendable. We are all being expended, and ultimately we will all die. The world will then move on with very little more than a small commemoration ceremony, and within a hundred years, nearly everyone alive today will be gone forgotten.

It makes no sense to live like cowards during the time that we have here, as if that will somehow change our destiny, or make our lives better. It will not.

Have anything factual supporting your allegations?


Would you have told Salk and Sabin to stop wasting their time, that we were all going to get polio so let's get on with it?

Her death is a "tragedy"? No, sad maybe but not a tragedy. She was quite old and quite sick, and has been that way for quite a while.

It looks like we are in the pipe, five by five.

Senator Ted Cruz is "very confident" and says that the Reoublicans have "a solid 51 votes right now".

Quote:
Cruz on confirming Trump's Supreme Court nominee: 'We have the votes'

"I'm very confident. I believe we have the votes. I believe we'll get it done," Cruz said during a Washington Post Live interview. "As I see it, we have a solid 51 votes right now. And from the conversations in the conference, I don't see that changing."

Cruz's remarks are the latest sign that Republicans are preparing to plow forward, even as three GOP senators have tested positive for the coronavirus and another three GOP senators, including Cruz, have tested negative but are self-isolating. One of the senators who tested positive said he was willing to come to the Senate in a "moon suit" to help confirm Judge Amy Coney Barrett.
One senator (Ron Johnson (R-WI))who had has been tested positive for the Wuhan virus said they were willing to come in a "moon suit". This would likely be the hazmat suit that I referred to earlier.
