It makes you wonder what Cuomo has to do to be impeached. I mean, killing old people and sexually harassing half the city doesn’t seem to be enough!
As for Afghanistan, it seems to me we could have left a permanent force of 8500 soldiers there and far fewer people would have to die horribly. It won’t be cheap in terms of loss of American lives either because if we have to go back, it will cost many lives and much treasure to regain the territory. Air power is never enough.
As for Covid, if the Democrats want me to wear a mask again (I am fully vaccinated), they will have to show me some randomized studies that show masks do anything at all to prevent the spread of Covid. Dr. Jay in the recent, excellent, Area 45 podcast said there are no such studies and no evidence that masks do anything at all to prevent the spread of Covid. They do an excellent job of fogging up my glasses though. Obama’s party was in a giant tent and from the leaked pictures I saw there was precious little distancing going on. If vaccines are considered sufficient protection under those circumstances, then my supermarket is no different. I’d like to know how they established that everyone was vaccinated too. People lie. Especially people who want to be seen at a social event like Obama’s “sophisticated” birthday bash.
This appears to be an episode from last week.
