[Given this week’s SCOTUS ruling on Indian lands in Oklahoma (here and here), the future of all 19th century abrogated treaties with our indigenous Americans will come up for review.  All this will create chaos in the governmental jurisdictions involved, not the least being the status of non-Indians and their property rights.  gjr]

    Well who can blame him.
    Let’s say that he looks at the evidence and decided that Trump was a better bet in terms of not driving us off of a cliff. After all, Biden’s handlers are going to let the Mob into the inner circles in order to retain power (not unlike Hindenburg). It’s an arguable point.
    Whammo. The gig at KVMR disappears. The concert promotion biz disappears, assuming it ever comes back. Most friends disappear. It’s a huge step to take and requires some bravery.
    Besides, if you spent decades of your life singing them protest songs and talking about ‘The Man’, you’re going to look pretty silly finding out that the US Left were the crazy ones all along.

    re Frisch – “Since the “Euros” have done a far better job than we have of flattening their curve, although some of their death rates have been high (UK, France, Italy, Spain)their curve has gone down, as opposed to our which is rising like a friggin’ rocket.”
    So Steve admits under the cruel, incompetent rein of Trump, our death rate is actually better than those ‘highly advanced’ ones with socialized medicine.
    As far as the numbers of cases we have – that’s not Trump’s fault. We have a free society and we are a republic. The feds should only be in charge of controlling the borders to those who might bring in disease and you leftys don’t want that, so you can’t point any fingers at Trump. The states and local authorities have plenty of control although their idiot and capricious rule enforcement (churches bad, riots good) are a joke. We have a rising case load because folks have decided on their own to freely mingle in close contact with others at various ‘gatherings’. Trump’s fault? Of course, because he didn’t send in the ‘jack-booted’ thugs to start mass arrests.
    You can’t have it both ways, dude.
    America has a high case load because America wants a high case load.

    “Well, the Donald has finally yielded to the unmitigated pressure placed on him by the Democrats and the Supreme Court. After years of rumors and innuendo touting his net worth being anywhere from zero to $15,000,000,000.00, the answer is in.
    Naturally, we expect him to have taken every legal deduction. Having Michael Cohen oversee many of his financial affairs makes that almost a certainty as Mr. Cohen seems like a straight-shooter.
    Just because he was seen at some of the fanciest restaurants while being on COVID-19 release from prison doesn’t mean a thing. Well, actually he was immediately re-arrested so there is that. Come on folks, one look at his face tells you he’s a trustworthy character.
    But ,as GT has discovered, there are other things on Hillary’s servers worth mentioning. Governor Cuomo’s Nursing Home plan for one, along with Mayor De Blasio’s crime prevention program involving the details of how to decrease crime by defunding police and emptying prisons.”

    -Scott O 247pm
    Yes, if we put all the state’s rates in a blender, we’ve a death rate that’s half that of Belgium, the center of the European Union. But if we look at the 50 states, about half are about 200 per million or less. And here from Newsweek is a fresh look at what we should do about CoV:
    https://www.newsweek.com/key-defeating-covid-19-already-exists-we-need-start-using-it-opinion-1519535
    Data is in… low dose HCQ/Az/Zn does work… but it needs to be started before the patient is half-dead and intubated… and preferably at first symptoms. How many of those 175,000 dead Frisch sheds crocodile tears for died as a result of the deprecating of HCQ/Az/Zn by Trump haters like Frisch?
    And, here’s a piece by Jonanthan Turley:

    from the Turley piece
    “The Washington press corps seems engaged in a collective demonstration of the legal concept of willful blindness, or deliberately ignoring facts, following the release of yet another declassified document that directly refutes past statements about the Russia collusion investigation. The document shows the FBI used a security briefing of then candidate Donald Trump and top aides to gather possible evidence for Crossfire Hurricane, its code name for the Russia investigation.
    What is astonishing is that the media has refused to see what should be one of the biggest stories in decades. The Obama administration targeted the campaign of the opposing party based on false evidence. The media endlessly covered former Obama administration officials ridiculing suggestions of spying on the Trump campaign or of improper conduct in the Russia investigation. When Attorney
    General William Barr told the Senate last year that he believed spying did occur, he was lambasted in the media, including by James Comey and others involved in that investigation. The mocking “wow” response of the fired FBI director received extensive coverage.”
    I think the willfully blind, including Frisch, are ignoring the biggest corruption story in the history of the Republic. Because of Obama love and Trump hate.

    “Frisch’s implicit blaming of Trump for “175.000” American deaths ”
    That’s an odd thing, especially considering the real lack of power a President has in national health policy, aside from perhaps writing some checks. My take is that no one knows what they are doing and that humanity will blunder through as usual.
    I was always underwhelmed with Obama as a President. Typical need to bomb other countries, co-opted by the 17 intelligence agencies in terms of surveillance tech, payoffs to his friends (which I’m not one of, so it sucks). I don’t hate the idea of insurance companies selling standardized products to anyone who walks in the door as it’s a business which tends towards abuse of customers, the amount of .gov subsidy can be argued over. Birth certificategate was always kind of silly even if the man was born in Kenya, a year or two younger and it would have been no issue (law change) and the whole deal certainly wasn’t worth the fuss.
    But…I never felt the need to make up crimes for 3.5 straight years, bug the opposition party, burn down buildings, blind cops with lasers, wildly accuse the President of things I couldn’t prove, 50 etcs., all with the tacit approval of opposition political figures and MSM. The overreaction is obvious to any unbiased observer.
    I’m on the fence whether it’s all about Trump, or simply Frisch and Friends doing something that they were going to do anyway. The huge amount of projection that is going on shows some weirdly strong illness of the soul. At least he (so far) has stayed away from the things I’m seeing on local social media…evidently anti-BLM folks need a ‘bullet to the back of the head’. Exciting times.

    Just imagine how quickly the story will get buried with a Biden victory. There are things faster than the speed of light. Ends justify the means and all that.
    It’s gotta be tough for Libertarians. To some extent, everyone has to choose a side when things get sketchy. The Republicans are somewhat greedy and tends towards stupid. The Democrats want to remake the country via mob opinion and destroy it in the meantime.

    The blinding of three officers with Green lasers was particularly heinous.
    I recall reading an article (perhaps 45 years ago, perhaps in Aviation Leak and Space Technology) of a non-lethal ‘defensive’ weapon that would shine a green laser at aircraft or gun emplacments to blind the folks targeting weapons, but it was killed because of the Geneva Convention.
    Green lasers are particilarly effective at erasing eyesight.

    “The rioters using them against law enforcement should rot in prison.”
    It won’t happen until things get considerably friskier.
    AntifaBLM has a pretty good strategy. Push on the Feds in a few choke points until they respond, catch it on one of 1000 cameras, send it to CNN.
    In Portland, you stick a bunch of fake ‘moms’ out front with yellow shirts and the occasional ‘veteran’ (or veteran). Rear rank throws seriously sized explosive charges and shoot lasers. Occasionally there’s a rush for the fence so you can start fires, tear down barriers, break glass, light fires. Wash, rinse, repeat until a handful of cops (ie. SteveF’s ‘Nazi Stormtroopers’) rush out…retreat behind moms and cameras.
    This will continue until someone cauldrons off the street and arrests everyone. Like I mentioned earlier, you just know that there are Stingrays and high-res cameras all over the place, so the cases should be fairly easy to sort and process. Most people go home with a misdemeanor, 10% get a serious federal charge. I expect that Biden would pardon the whole lot since they got him in office, but you do what you can.

    Thanks for noticing, but in my experience, it’s Democrats who tend towards stupid. For one thing, the vaunted statistic for a baccalaureate ignores the quality of the 4 year degree, which tends towards the imbecilic education and social justice warrior credentials among Dems.
    I’m somewhat less than perfectly happy arguning as the Devil’s Advocate for GOP matters in California while casting votes for LIB candidtes otherwise, if there is a LIB candidate. Choosing the lesser of two evils when no LIB is on the ballot. For example, LaMalfa v. the execrable Audrey Denney.

    Face it, in all honesty, the AntifaBLM orcs should be shot on sight as they surely would have been almost anywhere in the world seventy years ago. Our ‘greatest generation’ birthed a corrupt generation of entitled ‘boomers’ who, it turn, spawned a generation that is creating and will get to watch the end of civilization. The anarchist mind has NOTHING to contribute.
    Steve is the classic example- he thinks by ignoring barbarism, the barbarians will spare him. Wrong, he gets eaten first because he agree that he deserves it. Is that about it Frisch?
