"Social distancing" isn't defined as 6' in an enclosed building with common air. There are zero studies that support that claim. In fact there are numerous studies that show the air moves rapidly and spreads a virus over a wide area in a short amount of time. There was zero science involved with the 6' rule or the plastic barriers at banks, check out stands, etc.

There were numerous studies of masks in hospitals with respiratory viruses before 2019. They all concluded they made no statistical meaningful difference of the virus spread. Even with N95 masks. The COVID virus is typically about 120 nm in size. A surgical mask cannot filter that out at all. An N95 mask can filter some of it out for a short period of time. It only takes a tiny amount to infect you so that doesn't work. Then there's your eyes, they connect to your sinus cavities and also provide an entry for the virus mask or not mask.

That's called science, not let's just do something while winging it and call it science.

I know we have a few lawyers here.  Any predictions yet?

From my vantage point, here is my guess......


1. Trump is found guilty with 12 biased NY jurors coming to agreement.
2. Biden watches polling, and if the verdict hurts Trump, I predict that he under advise of counsel is told not to debate a convicted felon.
3.  If there isn't any polling that hurt DJT, Biden bows out due to health reasons.

I might be totally wrong on this, but any other thoughts/predicitons?

I'm not a lawyer but my guess is that the best we can expect from this bunch is a hung jury.

I am remiss in failing to share with one and all my newest original puns.


Hear is nother:

I seriously doubt that Murphy cared whether the men in his unit that he covered with the M2 on an M10 TD were Hispanic or Native American. They were his men. OTOH, I'm pretty sure that the Germans he  killed had no Hispanics or Native Americans among them.

But that's not the kind of thinking that racist idiots of any skin color would do.
I wonder if this idiot has the same opinion, that Blacks who acted in westerns during Audie Murphy's time were racist also? probably not since he probably doesn't believe Blacks can't be racist because of slavery that ended in America 160 years ago except that Blacks willingly again accepted the yoke of slavery from the democrat party 60 years ago.

Because I do not walk lockstep in YOUR strict definition of conservatism I am a liberal in your mind. You do know your brand of far right conservatism is not the norm in this country? Maybe 5% at most hold your strict views.

I won't argue that point I might be in that 5%.  But OTOH, my positions which haven't changed in 50 years, would have been mainstream, and the fact is I am not is part of the problem  Back in the 1970's and 1980's fiscal responsiblilties like balancing budgets and disdain toward deficit spending was the accepted norm.   Now the uni-party, including you have no problem with that fiscal insanity.  Just because I am in the minority, does not make me wrong.....  In fact I'd counter the opposite.

I was a far right conservative at one time but got tired of all the bs from the right, the misinformation, lies, constant fear porn and doom doom doom  whenever a democrat was in power and have become a independent conservative. Fiscal conservative, socially moderate.

Are you joking?  $34T deficit which is approaching 150% of GDP is not doom and gloom?  I thought you just said you were a fiscal conservative!!!!!!   You're at Bullshit Level Defcon 3 at the onset.   And your inability to extract the fact that the past 30 years has been one continous kicking the can down the road exercise is very telling. BTW... Using terms like Fear Porn is a buzz word of the left.  You are fooling very few here.

I have been on 3-4 conservative  sites today and looking at Dow 40k threads. Nothing but beotching and complaining instead of saying hey this is great. . If Biden came out today and cut taxes and gov't regulations by 50% conservatives would still find something to beotch about.


Sorry...   I have been pretty much stating that you are a wolf in sheep's  clothing troll.  After this statement I am torn between deciding whether you are terminally silly or insane.

Politics is nothing but poisonous partisanship anymore.

And you've proven that nicely....  Thank you.

It doesn't take a genius to understand that transmission takes place more easily with contact or close proximity, especially in confined spaces. I know two people who got Covid after 20 minutes or so in a car with a person in a non-symptomatic stage of Covid, myself being one. Maybe 5 feet would have been proved adequate if tested, or maybe 6 feet was too close.  Common sense and experience still demonstrate that untested does not prove distance is irrelevant. As gotchas go, this one is gnat-straining.

Yes, common sense and experience DOES prove distance irrelevant. Total bullshit. Any time there is air handling in enclosed places, distance apart means nothing.

How is pardoning Trump different from the Office of President having absolute immunity from prosecution?

Because the former happens on a case by case basis, and the latter excuses anything regardless of circumstances.  A President could act without fear of any consequences if he has absolute immunity, but could not know on advance if a pardon would be granted by his successor.

I think that's a pretty big difference.
