Giuliani let the Ground Zero rescuers work without respirators.
He hasn’t attended any of the funerals for those who died because of the poisoned air.
Stick and stones may break my bones, but grammatical puns amuse me.
Back at the end of WW2, the SS was actively diverting trains that were resupplying regular troops in order to get more Jews to the concentration camps.
I have no idea why I was reminded of that…
Not to be that guy, but the pain pros would be pro pro pain and anti-non-pro pain.
Not to be that guy, but wouldn’t it ‘pain pro?’
I could say the same thing.
Let me put it this way. The movie ‘Network’ went from being a cutting edge satire to a quaint docudrama in real time.
Someone downvoted you, which is ridiculous.
I respect your opinion.
You haven’t.
Back in the day, people relied on main stream media that fact checked everything.
Then Ronald Reagan, Roger Ailes, and Rupert Murdoch came along.
There’s a passage in the book Fahrenheit 451 where the author talks about people keeping themselves distracted with music 24/7. Instead of listening respectfully to great music with great attention, they listen to silly songs.
Also, I remember all the stories I’ve read about people who were mugged because they weren’t paying attention.
Run against a known molester and a failed radio host.
I’m happy he won [I live here] but Adams hadn’t been arrested then Adams would have gotten the second term.
I remember reading this story back in 2015.
Trump and Harrah’s negotiated a 50/50 partnership in Atlantic City back in the 1980s. The lawyers hammered out everything, both sides signed, and before 24 hours had passed, Trump was suing Harrah’s.
Eventually, Harrah’s decided it wasn’t worth trying to deal with Donnie, so they just walked away.
All of Donnie’s casinos went bankrupt, and Harrah’s is still in business.
Because the Dem base doesn’t obey orders.
The GOPs vote for the Party’s candidate every time. No question. They drive old folks to the polls; they put up signs; they get petitions signed.
Dem voters are all over the place.
Every Dem candidate since 1972 could be mistaken for Ted Kennedy.
1972 Ronald Reagan would be too Liberal for the MAGAs of today.
I think you mean ‘lead’ singer.
But if you know more about her personal habits than I do…
Two things spring to mind.
Asimov made his first professional sale as a teenager. “Marooned Off Vesta” used actual science to tell the story. Even if it was elementary stuff, it made a good story. You don’t have to invent crazy tech if you actually know about science.
The other is in “Cryptonomicon” by Neal Stephenson. There’s a long passage where he goes into advanced number theory. The first time I read the book I just skipped over it, and the second time I slogged through it. Later I was talking about the book with another guy. He told me his wife was in a post-grad astrophysics program. She showed the passage to her professor, who told her that it was all kosher.
The horror…the horror…
I was thinking the same thing.
I knew Schumer wasn’t one of the defectors, but they’ve got his name right at the top.
Rudy let the Ground Zero workers go into the Pit without respirators, and told people that the air was safe.
After people started dying, Rudy failed to attend any of the funerals and did nothing to get medical care funded.
