Heads up. Re. Pfizer booster vaccine/Covid
Tue Oct 17, 2023, 06:21 AM no_hypocrisy (43,936 posts) Heads up. Re. Pfizer booster vaccine/Covid I had my 2023 booster Saturday afternoon. Less than six months after the last booster in May. I had a reaction, a side effect that I want to share. I woke up the next morning (Sunday) with both legs affected. They felt very stiff, very heavy. To walk, I had to use short steps with a fear of losing my balance. Bending was not an option. Stairs scared me. I felt like I had 20 pounds weights on each leg.
"Condemning" the Hamas massacre.
Mon Oct 16, 2023, 07:03 PM "Condemning" the Hamas massacre. It seems there's a strain of thinking among some that is perfectly fine with condemning Hamas's deliberate murder of a thousand Israeli and foreign civilians, and supporting Israel's response, so long as Israel doesn't actually do anything about it. According to them, these are things Israel can't do, even while Hamas is still firing rockets and holding hundreds of hostages. (1) Bomb Hamas from the air without warning people first.

Matthew Cooke on Israel and Hamas
I usually agree with what Matthew Cooke writes (I follow him on Facebook). This time is no exception. Please excuse my strong words. What I am seeing online in so many comments and posts is so sad, disturbing, and counter productive. What Israel experienced is similar to 9-11. A horrific terror attack. The response has also been similar - a "remedy" that exponentially expands the terror and violence. All fueled by revenge and bloodlust. Two million Israelis voted for Netanyahu.

Disney CEO Bob Iger rips Ron DeSantis over 'anti-Florida' retaliation
Response to Joe Cool (Original post) Mon Apr 3, 2023, 02:40 PM 2. DeSANTIS COMMITTED AN ILLEGAL ACT When DeSantis broke the contract Florida has with Disney, he violated the law. You cannot break a contract because someone said something that annoys you. DeSantis is a lawyer and knows better. If he is ever dumb enough to take this before a judge he will find out in a hurry what an ethical violation really is and he's the one who did it.

I think that Alvin Bragg is playing chess with clowns
Mon Apr 3, 2023, 11:45 AM as he did in announcing the indictment after he said the jury would be on break for a month and caught the clowns off guard, Imo the charges will be overwhelming evidence in support of felony charges. He is letting the clowns go all over media and minimize trumps offenses as misdemeanors in order to cast them all as clown fools when the indictments are unsealed. We shall see how this Chess game plays out.

Response to yourout (Reply #2) Wed Mar 22, 2023, 08:26 AM 10. I get where you are coming from, I cried and cried here trying to get people to understand the importance of time in investigating Trump. A Trump trial isn't going to happen before the 2024 election, IMO, with that said something else is going to happen to Trump that matters, his invincibility is going to be pierced, his superman persona will be expunged. The indictments, plural, are going to show how petty and common a man Trump is.
