global1's JournalHeard Again Yesterday That The Joint Chiefs Were All Going To Resign One-By-One If....
Tr**p pushed for martial law or a coup. That this was their plan for stopping him.
I'm bothered by and question their judgement on this plan - because - if they would have all resigned - Tr**p would have been in the position to appoint his cronies and he would be able to follow through on his plan.
Have any of the Joint Chiefs addressed this concern?
I Don't Think Many Americans Realize That The Capitol Bldg Was Breached.....
on all sides. Multiple points of entry. That suggests to me that these terrorists had a plan and were organized.
Can Somebody Take A Clip Of The 1/6 Insurrection Video & Play Helter Skelter...
as its soundtrack. I think that would make a very powerful combination when seen and heard together.
I watched the movie 'Across the Universe' over the weekend and that's where I got the idea for somebody to do this. I would - but don't know how to pull that off.
Do We Need To Counteract The Karen's And Kevin's Out There?......
Here's my thoughts.
I've been seeing many posts here at DU and on the Internet of Karen's and Kevin's throwing fits - in stores, on planes, in the middle of a street - about their rights being infringed upon and that they won't wear masks or get vaxxed.
Is it time that we had some Kathy and Ken posts to counteract the Karen's and Kevin's out there.
Up to now - we've been pretty calm, cool and collected about dealing with Covid and the pandemic. We've made rational arguments as to why we should be masked and why we should get vaxxed. We've tried to reason with people and are now realizing that 'reason isn't working'.
However, everyday, and more so now than ever - we've been running into these dangerous and careless people that say they don't need to wear a mask or they don't need to get vaccinated. They're healthy and they don't want their rights taken away from them or to be dictated to by the government.
They've thrown caution to the wind and they are endangering those of us that are doing what we should be doing to protect ourselves, our kids and grandkids and others from this scourge.
Now I'm beginning to lose my patience. Maybe its time that we have some Kathy's and Ken's on our side that go off on these dangerous and careless people and tell them - in no uncertain terms - and in their own vernacular and style - not being nice to them anymore.
We need to go on tirade's and dish back what they've been dishing out at us that are trying to do the right thing.
About a week ago - I posted here on DU - that we 'tried the carrot and now it's time for the stick'.
Does anyone think I might be on to something here by advocating we post some viral videos on the internet - that counteract the Karen and Kevin - posts out there.
Maybe that's the only way these Karen's and Kevin's will get the message. Give them a taste of their own medicine.
I Kinda Felt Safer Last Year In The Thick Of Pandemic Quarantine Than I Do Today.....
When we first learned of Covid and the Pandemic and were told all that we can individually do to prevent us from being infected - I felt more in control.
I masked. I self distanced. I gloved. I wore an eye shield. I kept away from shopping. I used hand sanitizer. I wiped down all my mail and groceries. I liberally sprayed Lysol on all surfaces. I quarantined and stayed away from other people. When going to a store - they required all people to be masked. They had sanitizing wipes and hand sanitizer readily available for use. If you weren't masked you weren't allowed in the store.
In essence all precautions were taken by self and others. We took things very seriously and felt protected.
Then the vaccinations were made available. I remember how I felt the day I got my first Pfizer shot and even better 2 weeks later when I got my second shot and was fully vaxxed.
We saw progress. Cases, hospitalizations and deaths started to go down. The positivity rate plummeted. Things seemed to be returning to a new normal.
But that's where I think we went wrong. We rushed into this new normal and started to throw caution to the wind. Stores couldn't wait to ditch the hand sanitizers and the wipes. They couldn't wait to make their aisles two way again. We were told by the CDC that those vaccinated didn't have to wear masks in public - but the unvaccinated had to wear masks if they were in public. And things turned to crap.
Even though I still could do all those things I did at the beginning to keep myself safe - I had no faith in the ability of others to do the same.
Today I mistrust just about everyone. I still take all those same precautions. The mask. The social distancing. The gloves. The eye protection. Wiping down my groceries and isolating my mail. BUT - am very wary of others I come across along the way that don't do the same.
How do I know that they are vaccinated? I really don't. Even if they have a proof of vaccination card - there's no guarantee that it's not a fake one.
Are they not wearing a mask because they are vaccinated or are they anti-maskers and anti-vaxxers that are turning their noses up to all precaution.
Essentially - are they putting me in the crosshairs of these new Covid variants that we are still learning about and not really knowing if we're protected.
I think the CDC made its mistake when they told vaccinated people that there was no need for them to mask up anymore. That they're protected.
Now we don't really know who is vaccinated and who is not. And going back to a mask mandate will be much harder now that people have settled into this so-called new normal.
So I'm actually more scared now than I was at the height of this pandemic last year.
Yeah - I still can protect myself and do all those things I did last year - but I don't feel as safe as I did when I was doing them last year - because I just don't trust others out there to take things as seriously as I still do.
I tried to do the maskless thing and then I found myself in the midst of a July 4th celebration crowd in my town - filled with maskless people - and I literally froze. I panicked and couldn't wait til I was safe in the confines of my own car and home again.
I hope that someday I'll be able to shake this feeling - but - by listening to all the reporting that's going on. All the dis- and mis- information. All the talk of new surges. I'm skeptical.
I realize I'm bringing this all on by myself. I think I'm in need of some good counseling.
Too Many Commercials In Olympic Opening Ceremonies....
Very distracting. Missing a lot of countries because NBC keeps cutting away every few minutes.
Beware: Of Fake 'Proof Of Vaccination' Cards.....
If you know people that used fake ID's to get into bars before they turned 21 - many of those same are now getting their hands on fake 'proof of vaccination' cards.
In many cities around the country - getting into certain summer events required one to show proof of vaccination or a recent negative test for Covid.
There's a rash of fake 'proof of vaccination' cards going around - and what I fear is that many well intentioned summer events will turn into 'super spreaders' because of those people willing to take a chance on their life as well as others by using a fake 'proof of vaccination' card.
This use of these fake cards seems to be most prominently used by youths - who think they are invulnerable to Covid and this latest delta variant.
They are putting themselves, their family and the rest of us in danger because they think they've outsmarted the system.
Beware!!! - Just Beware!!!
Do The Texas Dems That Left Texas Really Have Covid Or....
is it a ploy to deter Gov.Abbott from being able to convene a session for a vote when they come back to Texas?
When They Provide Us With Total Americans Vaccinated They Also Say "X" Amount Have 1 Shot......
I've always wondered about that statistic - "X" Americans with 1 shot - and what that means.
A couple of questions:
1. Does that mean these people stopped at 1 shot and are not getting the 2nd shot?
2. Are these people that are already vaccinated with the 1 shot - awaiting the time period in-between and they will ultimately get their 2nd shot?
3. Can't we make a calculation as to how many total Americans will be completely vaccinated by projecting those that have 1 shot and when they will get their 2nd shot to be totally vaccinated?
August 13, 2021 Is Exactly.....
60 years to the date that the Berlin Wall was built - 8-13-1961.
That's the date the pillow man says that Tr**p will be reinstated.
