I reckon it's in the Dems best interest not to impeach him. Let him try and run in 2024, either as a Republican or an independent. Works out for them either way. I agree. They won't convict him so it's a waste of time anyway. Is it a waste? It's incumbent upon the Democrats to crush this stain on h...

True. The numbers are just numbers at this stage. They just give you a direction. Anyone remember being in awe of the numbers from Italy back in Feb?

Boxcar Ira

Well done Nardol. Did you get to be present at the birth?

Sorry I wasnt here to help you through delivery earlier

Boxcar Ira

I'd imagine we have peaked in cases already. The subsequent restrictions will start to bring the numbers down. Any increases we see in daily numbers will be backlog I guess. Deaths and hospitalizations? Probably a different story.

The reason I am enjoying this result is that it "might" show Republicans that the benefits of Trump are being outweighed by the negatives. I'm sure right now they'd prefer to go back to a more passive and disinterested voter population.

Boxcar Ira

Fonzee, do you think the Republicans will double down now on being Trump-like (for want of a better term)? He has obviously built up a massive and active base for them but at the same time he seems to have activated an even larger anti-Trump turnout. Seems to be pushing away the more moderate conser...

+12k now. Bigger than Joes margin there. What a great story he keeps going.

Press Up own Captain America's now, don't they? Yeah they do. I brought the little one there for her birthday party last year. Great for nostalgia.

A great oul ballad

I know that. Already said above that zero covid was never an option.

Tactic in the west is to reduce stress on hospitals which our half-arsed lockdowns do

Boxcar Ira

Again Italy is a good example of a western country eventually doing all the right things to shut down the initial wave but not being able to contain it longer term. China shut it down once and once only. If the answer is "act like China", then we're asking the wrong question. Not saying we act like...

If only we had an example of a country where a hard lock down worked. The real sin of this is that we pussy footed around with half lock downs and trying to keep everyone half happy back in the spring. Result is that no one is happy and we are still pussy footing around. NZ? Oz? Their natural facto...

Couple of questions. Who won most counties where Dominion machines were used? Of these which were backed up with paper recounts? The counties dont matter of course, it's the states. If I was a Democrat with intent of committing fraud, it would be the red counties I would target as opposed to the bi...

They’re just dying to jump on a BLM/defund the police bandwagon because it fits an American woke narrative that they have aligned themselves with. The Gardai aren’t perfect but thank fudge we have people who are willing to risk their own safety to protect society from dangerous people - yes it’s sa...

Anything will be an improvement on last time. Stick a worksheet up on a website and let the parents take over.

Thoughts on St Teresian's Junior and Secondary schools? Or Rathdown? Moving back to Dublin and considering sending daughters there. Everywhere is full so not many choices but these are some. Cheers!

We might be in for a few days of snow in the New Year so it'll coincide nicely with the schools closed. Could be like 2018 all over again baby, but with a bad cough :smug: It's going to happen isnt it? We have been lucky compared with other countries in that we havent had any closures to date since...
