I do know from the reports it took George Floyd about 5 minutes to have no pulse though the industrious cop knee-necked him for another 3 minutes just to make sure. So did it take 5 minutes for bullets in back guy to die?I guess unless you experienced you don't KNOW which is more painful though I suspect being unable to breathe is right up there.

They reject your argument and kick you back to from when you came and well you have to start all over again using a different schitck tack. ACK ACK ACK.Wonder how many times people get smacked down by SCOTUS and keep going back? Gluttons for punishment? Masochists? Stubborn?How many times could you be humliated before you gave up and went away to stay?

I'm not one who enjoys being in large crowds and this one was very large but it was held outdoors at the Coliseum so I didn't get that awful feeling I usually get in closed rooms with lots of people. Being out in the open helps a lot. I kept looking at my watch to see how much longer it would be before it would be over. I'm not a rallygoer I guess. I was bored. The crowd was very hyper and cheering. I was bored. When I think of rallies I think of being bored since it was my only experience being at one! less

People are cowards individually but the group dynamic emboldens them. They need others there and that's why they group hate to group harm group hurt group destroy.Individual cowards all of them. Ever it shall be thus.

No need for any check and balancing in the world of trump. He EXECUTIVE ORDERS and that's the end of it.Can Congress reverse an EXECUTIVE ORDER or is the trump truly a reigning monarch above all laws per efforts of fake AG liddlebillybarrroycohn? One wonders.I guess the trump can be sued and the case can go to SCOTUS where lately the decision is not a known. The last two were gratifying because they were surprising. less

What the brain embraced as real when it wasn't. When the brain is gullibly susceptible to snake oil salesfolks...con artist scam artists duplicitous knaves and varlets it follows believes and shuts out everything else.Some minds see right through that and are never affected at all.Other minds embrace it as a salvation or saviour sent by their CREATOR and are loyally devoted to it. Thus stunted mental growth.Can it ever be reversed? I don't know for sure but I don't think so.The best a mind can learn is when it is young. As it ages it hardens and firms up and solidifies and petrifies. less

We clearly didn't learn our lesson the first time. EVIL is back alive and well and doing very well for itself.GOD said HE will not harm the ground again. But this thing he created...man...is still evil. More so. The more you do it the better you get at it. It's a given. A no-brainer. A sure thing. You would agree to that would you not? Whether or not you believe in a GOD or not...that is immaterial. MAN IS EVILIs man evil? Is man rotten lousy cruel mean vicious contemptible devious worthless?This virus doesn't seem to want to leave us. It seems to lessen then comes back stronger and bigger than ever. Again and again and again. A fluke? A happenstance? An anomaly? Or perpetrated by THE CREATOR?I have no idea. less

It's not like the guv ignored everything and pretended there was no problem. Au secours! Spiky surgy now. AGAIN. In California. Nowhere to run. Nowhere to hide. Hunker down. Isn't that where we came in?
