Bear Pit: now the sole domicile of politics at LuLa

[faberryman]

I'm waiting for Biden to become president.  Then I can blame him for four years like you blamed Trump.   

We wouldn't expect anything less from you.

Let me know when Biden passes 20.000 false statements...
This Guiness world record will be Trumps forever.

Jumping up and down complaining about it doesn't seem to change behavior very much.

And yet you persist.

We're not Chinese.

Whatabout. Always a whatabout.

Their job is to enforce the laws, not write or like them. This must be a new concept for you to THINK about.

Cops don't have to enforce every law on the books. Jaywalking in NYC comes to mind. Also, if you're polite, they sometimes let you go with a warning.  Of course, it's difficult for some people to be polite. 

[faberryman]

So you expect me to listen to your 2 1/2 hour podcast after calling me a troll?  Good psychology.   

In any case, no one is asking to summarize every point.  I don't do that either when I post an article and discuss it.  I pick out one or two salient points.  Can't you do that?  After all, if I did listen, I wouldn't want to discuss every point he made nor would you want to.

Don't worry. No one is holding their breath, expecting that you will listen to the podcast.

[faberryman]

Frank, if you continue to insult me, our days of having a conversation will be over.  Your choice.

I thought you were ignoring me.

What is your point?

[Alan Klein]

What is you point?

Even cops don't like some rules and refuse to enforce them.

Howell Police Chief Andrew Kudrick has the support of at least some township leaders, as he makes the rounds on national television to say he won't be enforcing Gov. Phil Murphy's executive order limiting indoor gatherings to 10 people.

Kudrick called the limit — which Murphy put in place just ahead of Thanksgiving, amid warnings from the Centers for Disease Control and prevention that holiday gatherings could seriously accelerate novel coronavirus spread — "draconian" during an appearance on Fox & Friends.

The chief said in his memo he is not defying Murphy's orders, and he believes everyone has to do their part to end the pandemic.

"However we the police will not be used to carry out orders I feel are detrimental to our relationship with our community. Or, will put officers in a no-win predicament such as being called for a social distancing or mask complaint. Although justified in our enforcement, the perception will be the opposite and majority support will be lacking,” Kudrick says in the memo to department employees.

Whatabout. Always a whatabout.

What's wrong about comparing one group against another.  People are different.  After all, aren't people here telling us how CHina's doing a better job.  Isn't that a whatabout as well?  Whatabout that?

[faberryman]

Even cops don't like some rules and refuse to enforce them.

And?

[Alan Klein]

I thought you were ignoring me.

I was. But I believe in forgiveness.  It's not healthy to stay angry. 

[Alan Klein]

And?

...and a lot of people, cops included, feel some Covid rules are "draconian".

I thought you were ignoring me.

I thought I was in the same happy boat as you, but he can't control himself here.

[digitaldog]

...and a lot of people, cops included, feel some Covid rules are "draconian".

So what? I feel some people are raging morons who can't solve any of their own problems. It isn't my job to help morons asking over and over again for help they are unable to understand. It is a cop's job to enforce the law. I understand you are having difficulty connecting the dots there. I suppose I can’t ask you to connect the dots when it’s clear, you don’t recognize the dots as being dots.

It's a stroke of luck for you 'Merkuns that you have hard working cops evaluating the epidemiological and economic data and coming up with the best response to the pandemic. Phew!!

Cops have more common sense than politicians.

I was watching Rudy Giuliani laying out his legal strategy on his YouTube channel when halfway thru the video he made some revealing comments. I think it reveals what he is truly hoping to achieve.

I have linked the YouTube video below to start just before he gets to the heart of what he hopes to achieve in the days, months, and years ahead. Take a couple of minutes to listen. You might learn something about Rudy and his motivation.

If you think people are imposing on you, don't answer them.  Let others answer if they want too.  Don't insult them.  Take the afternoon off.

Is that why they are so keen on kneeling on peoples necks?

[Alan Klein]

Well, sure, that's not good.  But politicians lean on everyone's necks, not just one poor guy.  Cops enforce politicians' draconian rules for a whole country or state.
