The only reason Bernie Madeoff (best crook name evah!) went to prison is because he stole from rich people.

As always mouthamassie aka blabbermouth is spewing shit before the vaccines are really put to the test. Little does he know that he is already responsible for the worst response on the planet.

But I’m sure he’ll blame President Biden for it.

My supervisor and his two kids have it. (It's remote work, so no exposure here.) They're all young and doing okay, but he's spooked, afraid he'll use up all his sick time.

His in-laws spent Thanksgiving weekend at their beach home and my son had to attend. The FIL is a Trumper. I doubt there was much masking.

8. Trump Might Die In Prison
Wed Dec 2, 2020, 06:23 PM
Dec 2020

The only figure like Trump in American history is Boss Tweed, the corrupt and rich leader of Tammany Hall. Tweed ended up in prison in NYC and died there. It is possible there will be criminal investigations of Trump when he is out of office. Maybe Trump will land in jail. Anyway, I send well wishes to the family of the OP. I hope that your people get well soon.

They got him on tax evasion. But the main point is - they got him.

That’s all that matters.

He was doing okay until last night and I told him to go the ER. He said they gave him some IV infusion and sent him home. Its really hard to get anything of sense out of him as he had a stroke and has a hard time speaking. Im praying they will be okay. He only goes grocery shopping once a week and nowhere else and always wears a mask.

How did the contact tracing go, or is it still too early to tell? Is it even being done? I hope their experience with Covid is brief and mild, and I hope your mind is eased very soon.

Prison is too good for him. And the kind of prison he would likely be sent to would be WAY too good for any of them. I would want to see Oz, or Devil's Island.

Even Angola would be just fine.
