SABRES 0311

I think you are better at articulation of thoughts than I am. I just thought we were talking about playing some hockey.

Three pages in and a discussion about hockey in ND went to hell.

It was a tremendous test. Truly the best test in history. The test had a 95% approval rating among Republicans.

It would be cool if they had an Eastern Conference and Western Conference game going at the same time.

Got lost on the way to college. For real though. I just typed Sabres news and SS popped up. Kind of just read comments and then jumped in. Been running the show ever since. Mods are just there for cover.

Ok. Anything else? ?

I call out Maddow and her garbage and you get mad and call out Trump. ?

COVID, the Matt Ellis of sickness. We still doing that?

The ship arrived 10 days after this aired. She said it would take weeks. She said there was no sign. Ships don’t appear out of thin air.

That aged well. At least she’s didn’t say anonymous sources told her so. https://www.google.com/amp/s/amp.theguardian.com/world/2020/apr/01/coronavirus-russia-sends-plane-full-of-medical-supplies-to-us

I looked it up. Humans are very creative in some wrong ways.

Off topic but last report on the SEAL Team 6 mission was they were killed providing QRF to an Army Ranger Unit. To my knowledge that would a mission for a lower tier SOF or conventional forces. Then again I wasn’t there.

Going up here in California.

You would have local police squaring off with state police like Super Troopers. Morality of this touchy. If said hospital was beyond it’s capabilities or the introduction of more patients would collapse its capabilities then the city would have an argument. Then again how can you turn someone away like that?

Oh really. You have all the right in the world to think our country’s greatness is crumbling. I on the other hand think there are lessons the government should learn and incorporate into future response planning. We are resilient enough to bounce back from this. While we may not be setting the standard for dealing with COVID-19 I guarantee other countries will look to the U.S. on future matters. I’m not going to lose faith in our ability to make it through. Its one thing to call out a mistake to fix a problem. Your first paragraph is something else. This country is more than one administration’s failure.

So that’s it then? Everything this country has done in its history wiped out because of one administration’s response to a virus. Yeah I don’t think so.

Yes it is the point. The ball got dropped. Doesn’t mean the country as a whole is a joke. To address an earlier comment. The U.S. is good at warfighting because we have been in quite a few conflicts throughout our great nation’s history. Pandemics within our borders, not as much. To put it bluntly practice makes perfect. Im not completely disagreeing with your assessment of how the issue has been handled. I’m disagreeing with your original statement that our greatness is crumbling.

Our country is great because of the so called little people. I could care less what another country thinks.

You can only control your little sphere of life just like me and everyone else. Situation sucks but you can have impact on those around you better than what you are worrying about.

Americans and humans as a whole have made it through worse. We will get through this.

There’s a shot across the bow. Get in your fox holes boys we’re going to war.

I would not be surprised if Paul used his contacts to get access to testing. I also have no evidence for it so I need to be honest on that. The stimulus bill went up to 2T during negotiations. I wonder if any specific businesses get ear marked funds. If so which of those businesses have ties to politicians. I’m probably just going down a rabbit hole though.

He has the money and connection(s) to get tested. Does that answer the question?

People are starting to spin the Chinese Virus verbiage. China is trying to blame the U.S. military for COVID-19. Trump calling it the Chinese Virus combats their narrative.

I do not like the idea of bailing out banks and businesses. In my mind it’s like the banker giving you an extra 500 in Monopoly. Unfair to the other players. Its not the system that’s wrong it’s how some people abuse it. Does that mean we have to change the system? I bet if we did people will find new ways of abusing it. My profession comes down to two points; mission accomplishment and troop welfare. You have to take care of those subordinate to you because without them the job doesn’t get done.
