EMAWesome

Just to save my official timeskeeper the trouble I'm posting this at 8:25 AM. I just got off work and finished eating two carnitas tacos and some sugar free lemonade. I have farted three times since logging on to the site. Two run of the mill type and one silent but deadly type. Would you like me to report my temperature and blood sugar levels too? You see there is this concept of the third shift job. Some of us have them. Since you are such a thorough investigator I'm sure you can figure out my days off without me telling you Lieutenant Colombo. Oops now it is 8:29 Am. I'm also listening to the podcast of Redeye Radio. It is currently cloudy and way too damn cold for the middle of April. Now on to the meme.

I've made the argument over there that the Republican Party has moved to the furthest left it has ever been. That argument goes over about as well as complimenting Bob Stoops on the football board.

I see it exactly the opposite. I've said this a lot here and nothing seems to be changing to make me say it any less. The Republican Party annoys me but the Democrat Party currently scares the fuck out of me. There are always things that annoy you. That is part of life, however life shouldn't be throwing things that scare the fuck out of you at you.

So when you are being bullied you should just do whatever the bully wants you to do. That sounds like the American way.

Finally able to look at some of the notifications. I underestimated Upper Westside's douchebagability. He negged at least 24 straight posts of mine. Kind of surprised his avatar isn't Mark David Chapman.

If I was a female I would hope I could find a man with a boner like the one Upper Westside gets when he negs me. Negged seven straight posts of mine in the Satirical Tweets and Memes thread alone since the last time I was on here.

I'm not talking about moderators. I've got no problem with them, was even put in time out for a week a few weeks ago and didn't complain. It's the moberators that go around negging every post of mine they can find just because they don't agree with me that pisses me off. I get it, I don't have the most popular opinions in the CR but I'm starting to feel there are a couple of posters over there who are starting to neg my posts just because it is my post and I'm somewhat suspicious that they aren't even reading them. There is a subset of "mean girls" in the CR and when you get on their bad side like me, Johnny Sack, Zork, and few others have they come after you tooth, fang, and claw. It's not that important people, it's just the internet.

Theoretically it should be some kind of bargain basement (sub-basement/storm cellar/S&M dungeon, however you want to describe it) point/counterpoint or 90s CNN Crossfire type of free for all. However one side of the discussion deals with differences of opinion by reacting like someone just hit them in the face with a water balloon filled with battery acid. If I negged every opinion in that forum I disagreed with I wouldn't have any fingerprints on my thumbs and possibly no tendons either. Suck it up buttercups, you are having your opinions challenged. You are not being beaten to death with a rubber hose. If I neg something it is either a personal attack on me or someone else or it is so ridiculously idiotic I can't not understand how anyone on earth, regardless of political ideology, can possibly come up with their conclusion. The latter is a very hard standard to reach. I am a free speech absolutist who feels that the worst that should happen from speech I don't like is that I will get offended or pissed off. There are much, much, much worse consequences possible to speakers or speech if the people who don't like the speech are allowed to punish the speaker for it.

Read my above post. I have no idea which comment you are talking about. In fact going by this thread I'm not sure I have any idea about any comment from anyone about anything. I haven't been on here since yesterday morning. I tried yesterday evening but I was getting a bad gateway message that I assumed was from the spring cleaning being performed yesterday.

Then explain how my rep has gone from almost 700 down to about 450 in the last week. I also had a message where I had 61 notifications about my posts of sort or another and I went into my profile to look for them and everything in my profile is blank.

And away we go. Police shut down protest in North Carolina over excessive use of government authority. So the First Amendment is a non-essential activity?

March 12th https://thehill.com/policy/healthcare/487329-ohio-health-official-estimates-100000-people-in-state-have-coronavirus https://www.news5cleveland.com/news/continuing-coverage/coronavirus/ohio-department-of-health-says-100-000-ohioans-are-carrying-coronavirus Also claimed the number of cases would double every six days, that should mean over three million cases in Ohio by now. I was actually off with my memory, the latest number of cases according to the tracker John Hopkins is using is less than 7,000 cases. There is absolutely no fucking way in the world social distancing is decreasing the amount of coronavirus cases by ninety nine percent. (3.2 million cases in Ohio is where we would be if we started out with 100,000 cases on March 12 with the number of cases doubling every six days. 7,000 divided by 3.2 million=.002)These health experts see every crisis through absolute worst case scenarios and the reality is very few of them ever actually are. "Experts" pull numbers like this out of their ass and go super heavy on the over to cover their ass. The media then parrots these numbers at the top of their lungs over and over until the entire country is in a panic. They do not ask how do you get these numbers. They do not ask how confident are you in these numbers. And when the numbers come out this far off base they don't ask why. Unless of course it is Trump relaying the numbers. They get real interested then but not when anyone else pulls a number out of their ass.

https://thehill.com/homenews/house/492566-house-delays-expected-return-until-may-amid-coronavirus-pandemic I was under the impression that this whole situation has been an emergency for the last month. If it's not then what is it? If it is why isn't Congress getting off their ass? Of course the longer this goes on, the worse off the economy gets and theoretically the better the chances of a Democrat winning the White House in November but I'm sure that is all just coincidence and has absolutely nothing to do with the Democrats in the House deciding to delay their return to Washington D.C. for two additional weeks. This fucking whole political party should die in the dumpster fire it has become.

In other words, Angry Trump Turns Briefing Into a CNN Program

Protests in Minnesota later on this week.

What's that old cliche all the networks pull out every presidential election night? "The country goes as Ohio goes" or something to that effect. May I remind everyone that last month Ohio's state version of Fauci "guestimated" that the state had over 100,000 cases of Coronavirus. The current count last I checked was eight thousand something. As far as defending what Trump did today all I have to say is this...... 93% percent

Isn't this thing causing enough problems without starting another conference realignment thread?

I could just as easily put this in the media bias thread because the fact check is a bunch of bull shit. No, he doesn't say "there is nothing to worry about" but he does say "Right now, at this moment, there’s no need to change anything that you’re doing on a day by day basis." which is pretty damn close to saying there is nothing to worry about and the fact check gives it a mostly false rating. https://www.politifact.com/factchecks/2020/apr/13/deanna-lorraine/tweet-amplified-trump-misleads-faucis-late-februar/ February 29th on The Today Show. And since everyone is so fond of checking my math double check to make sure that is after the third week in February for me would you?
