Attack the post, not the poster, none of you can in this case, you have been exposed for the hypocrites that you are and have proven you are just the same as those you claim are beneath you.

You defend trump all the time with your whataboutism. You are in the wrong place to try and play word games. People here are too smart to fall for it.

Nobody is defending Trump, people are defending Biden and dismissing the victim which is the hypocrisy they would like you to overlook. However since it suites their political end game, it's okay.

J5V reacted to 17to85 in US Politics
actually no, it's about pointing out the hypocrisy of you and your kind.
Trump the rapist? No big deal, but hey you all better crucify Biden....
See if Biden has been sexually assaulting people then yeah string him up, but right along side all the republicans who are sexual predators, which includes the president. Those same people you will always go to bat for and defend.
We are talking about the victim who has said Biden made her feel uncomfortable but there was no assault right? So yes, believe the victim.

J5V reacted to The Unknown Poster in US Politics
Spare me your faux outrage. You're getting ridiculous with this trolling lately. You're value sharing with the alt right has long been disgusting and why it's tolerated is beyond me. I assume you're baiting to try and get a round of hand slapping but its transparently obvious.
If you even offered one iota of reasonable argument it might be slightly different. You're gross.

Simply disgraceful behavior being shown around here today. It's not about Trump or the other sexual predators out there, it's about the lack of compassion being shown towards the victim and how quickly you all are to dismiss her. Double standard hypocrites the lot of you, you should be ashamed of yourselves.

1. She’s a woman.
2. You are assuming schools would open exactly the way they were when they closed.
3. It could be something like teachers being able to take small groups of students for tutoring. Of half the class comes one day, the second half the next day.
4. Maybe more parents could drive kids. All things considered, many will probably choose to.
5. Finally, they are going to allow businesses to run camps for the children of employees, up to 30 kids per camp. In that case, they may as well open schools with some restrictions.

J5V got a reaction from pigseye in Covid-19
I take 3,000 I.U.s of vitamin D daily, along with zinc and vitamin C. I eat lots of fish for protein, omega 3s and B vitamins. I'm healthy and strong and plan on staying that way. I struggle with my weight so I try to get out for a walk daily. Only real problem is I'm 64 years old so I'm in the risk group. I honestly don't know how I'd fare if I caught the covid. I'm thinking I'd kick it's ass but who knows?

Article in today's WFP. I agree with it - MB. government needs to look at what other jurisdictions are doing with reopening schools
The province's decision not to reopen schools in any capacity is being questioned by a child psychologist who says students are falling way behind and may lose a year's worth of learning.
"We’re now going to be talking six months of children out of school," said Jen Theule, an associate professor in school and clinical psychology at the University of Manitoba. "We’re not talking learning loss, we’ll be re-teaching an entire grade."
In-person interactions with teachers and peers are critical in a child’s development, especially for children younger than 10, Theule said.
A mother and expert in children’s mental health and education, she questions why creative ideas for resuming classes are missing from the province's plan.
"The intensity of the presence of a large number of kids in a school makes social distancing all but impossible," Pallister said Wednesday, before noting the end of the year is fast approaching.
He made the comments moments after introducing Manitoba's reopening plan, which includes allowing non-essential businesses to reopen next week.
As far as Theule is concerned, there are safe options, and governments across the globe have tested some of them.
In mid-April, Denmark reopened schools with drastic changes to the pre-pandemic routine: class sizes were reduced, students are only allowed to play in small groups and they are required to wash their hands hourly. Danish school employees must prioritize outdoor learning, prevent parents from entering schools and ramp up sanitation.
In the U.S., President Donald Trump has urged states to reopen schools. In rural Idaho, administrators are mulling asking siblings to sit together on school buses, spaced out from other students.
Closer to home, Quebec plans to reopen elementary schools in two weeks in areas where there have been few COVID-19 cases. Classes will be capped at 15 students and those who live with people with health conditions will be barred from attending. One Vancouver school has already welcomed back students with "exceptionally high learning needs" to receive face-to-face instruction.
Discussion about any such measures in Manitoba have been secretive, if they have taken place at all.
Education Minister Kelvin Goertzen did not agree to an interview this week. Instead, his office provided a general statement that noted the department is working with stakeholders on the file.
The Manitoba Teachers’ Society did not provide comment on the subject either, redirecting a query to a quote from president James Bedford in a prepared release: "The safety of students and of all education staff is of the utmost priority, and teachers are committed to ensuring that our students continue to learn during these uncertain times."
For parents, common concerns include their children's safety and ability to be asymptomatic carriers, as well as the unknown.
"At least if they had more information at this point then they could prepare," said Brenda Brazeau of the Manitoba Association of Parent Councils. A member of a provincial task force on the COVID-19 education response, Brazeau has yet to hear any discussion about what reopening schools could look like.
Meanwhile, Theule said it's important Manitobans start to consider their options.
"We have to acknowledge teachers’ expertise," she said. "The idea that parents could do this is almost amusing. If all parents could do this, we wouldn't have a public school system."

And having a CFL season, even if abbreviated, would be a welcome thing to offset all the misery of the pandemic and herald a return to normalcy.

Best case scenario, we still get an abbreviated season. Worst case scenario, the Bombers remain Grey Cup champions. I’m going to look at this one with the glass half full.

In his former hometown of New York everyone in business knew he was a fraud, a charlatan if you will. He is a con man who defaults on loans, doesn't pay workers, constantly sue and/or threatens legal action and is a wretched human being. One of the all time losers of the world
...................and they did, now they will pay for many years to come

I think you would be putting older family members in jeopardy unless everyone attending the dinner was tested negative, especially since many carriers have shown no symptoms and are not aware they are infected.
