The Pandemic of 1917 Ended WW2

That line was almost as good as when he talked about planes in the Battle of Logan Airport during the Revolutionary War.

He is declining daily. Did you see how slow he was to respond when Secret Service came to him. His gait is terrible! He is very unsteady on his feet. I really don't know why Kellyanne keeps putting in front of the camera. She is a smart woman, she sees the shape he is in. Pitiful

Frasier: Niles, I’ve just had the most marvelous idea for a website! People will post their opinions, cheeky bon mots, and insights, and others will reply in kind!

Niles: You have met “people”, haven’t you?

it’s an unbelievably stupid thing to say.

is it worse than Biden guaranteeing that cancer will be cured if he gets elected?

when you focus on all the bad things one candidate does, and you ignore all the bad things the other candidate does, i admit that paints a lopsided picture. but is it an honest picture?

The US is weighing new rules that would temporarily bar US citizens and legal residents from entering the US to control a surge in coronavirus cases.

But we cant get Trump to have a federal mask mandate

Put that quote in context and you'll see that it really fits Tweety

In an interview to promote a new restaurant he’s opening, Haynesworth told the Knoxville News that he sees all the criticism he takes as a positive sign.

“When you’re successful a lot of people are going to come after you. . . . A lot of people call it haters,” Haynesworth said. “If you’ve got haters, that means you’re doing something right.”

Of course, there may be other reasons for people to dislike Haynesworth. Like stepping on an opponent’s helmetless head while wearing cleats. Or inappropriately touching a waitress. Or seriously injuring someone while driving recklessly. Or giving up on his team during games. Or showing up to training camp out of shape.

Or maybe Haynesworth is right, and everyone just hates him because he’s successful.
