In the real world we go over Covid - 19 precautions before I visit a factory. Many will not let me in, and we complete awkward remote video visits. If on site, day before confirm nobody has had Covid symptoms past couple weeks. Complete paperwork electronically. No meeting rooms, no grouping together, and minimum 6 feet (I bark at 12) apart. 100% masks worn. We don't even elbow bump. If plants are not following protocols I am instructed to leave by my management.

Pretty much just like the Senate hearing precautions.

Could someone please explain to me why so many people think Mrs. Jesse Barrett is so great & so smart? Any brain-dead twit can refuse to answer questions & repeat "I do not recall" ad infinitum. Sorry, but I'm not the least bit impressed with her. She's a fake. She's a puppet of angry old men who refuse to accept a changing world, & she seems to have no problem with that. https://www.politico.com/ne...

At least Sheldon Whitehouse was a joy to watch.

Why in the hell is Mittens trying to get back into Cheetolini's good graces? Not only is it futile, since Orangina never forgets or forgives a perceived snub (let alone a guilty vote), but what does he think he can possibly get out of it once Babbles is out of office?

Well, the Senate is a wretched hive of scum and villainy

I had a client the other day who, as I was leaving, said i should take off the "stupid" mask I'm required by my employer to wear while I'm on the job. I told him I would as soon as I got back to my car. Honestly.

It's not so important that the President stop inciting terrorism as that people should stop pointing out that he does this

She probably figures its better to be in the tent passing out, than outside being peed on

Anyone who says that their religion controls every aspect of their life cannot separate that from their job.

People are pointing to the answers of so many others, like ginsburg's opening statement about not prejudging cases that don't exist yet.

I feel like this is different, though, because of what is in the constitution. It gives no power to the executive at all in this matter. Its an easy no because the text literally says this. This isn't about how laws are applied in specific cases at all.

And of course he would have beaten Trump by overwhelming crushing margins -- because there's nothing the Trump base wants more than a Jewish socialist from Vermont.

Anyone who makes that claim is a moran or a liar.
