Same. Death Penalty.
Voter fraud should carry the death penalty. Change my mind.
Well what about election fraud and electoral fraud?
It’s all the same to me, send them to the firing squad.
I did my own research on masks and came away convinced they do indeed make sense for now. None will block a virus particle but thats not the point, whats different about covid-19 from the flu and other viruses is it lives and spreads mainly from the upper respiratory tract (nose and throat) instead of from the lower (bronchi and lungs). Thats why even normal speech will cause aerosol particles containing the virus to spew out, and any kind of face covering will block those aerosols.
So the scientific reason makes sense, and thats why its fine to wear the mask off whenever youre within 6 ft. of others, and to take it off the rest of time. I wish theyd have explained this, people will be more apt to comply if they understand the why.
Except for the fact people keep taking them on and off and touching their faces. I thought we were to wash our hands and not touch our faces. The continual up and down of the mask totally defeats the purpose. Especially if you pull it down, touch something, and then pull it back up. I’m still going to roll my eyes.

We were discussing the death of a friend when you barged into our conversation with irrelevant, 5th-grade so-called "humor".

Did your mother teach you that seeking attention by interrupting others was courteous? Acceptable? Cute?
I'm not the one you're embarassing...
Keep it up -- you're just showing more of your shiny heinie for all the world to see.

Well if you can see it by going to that link, it's still there.. I saw your reply and retweeted it... ;-)
The hard part, while I'm shadowbanned, will be for anyone else to see it who doesn't have a link...

Dang, yes, Rosemary. Thanks for the correction. My mind is noticeably slipping monthly. Alas.
I have the 4/17 FISC memo, the others are new to me. Much obliged.
Always an unforseen blessing...
Granted, that wasn't a *criminal* case, but one would think that such outside briefs would have even LESS relevance in a criminal trial.
I recall that President Lincoln arrested a lot of judges.
AWWWWW!
I retweeted and liked.
Can you see that?
You missed April Fool’s day by a month or two...
Yes!
The letter to Austin and Travis County highlights five aspects of the local order implemented by Mayor Adler and Judge Eckhardt.
Places of Worship: The letter states the local order attempts to restrict essential services, including those provided by houses of worship
Contact-tracing: The letter alleges the citys order encourages restaurants to keep track of customers that dine-in the restaurant. The letter acknowledges that the order only recommends keeping a tally of names, but it forces restaurants into submission by threatening to release the names of the restaurants that dont comply. The letter goes on calling the citys order Orwellian and raises privacy concerns.
Masks: The letter states neither the County nor the city can impose civil or criminal penalties for not wearing a mask in public.
Shelter-in-Place: The letter alleges Gov. Abbotts executive order does not include a mandatory shelter-in-place, but the city/county order does. The states order only requires Texans to minimize social gatherings and in-person contact outside of the same household.
Criminal Offenses: The letter states the local health order attempts to impose a criminal penalty for violations. Gov. Abbott modified the states order on May 7 eliminating the penalty of confinement for violating state/local orders.
Before it slips my geezer mind, I wanted to send you an old clip of me singing to you back when I still had a voice.

Best wishes, younger man.
Happy Birthday!
And they respond with: See previous article
In response, Travis County issued a statement voicing its disagreement with the letter from Paxton.
Travis County has received the letter and our county attorneys are reviewing it. Our initial thought is we disagree with the Attorney General.
The City of Austin, meanwhile, released a statement on the letter, saying:
The Citys intent was to adopt an Order that complies with the Governors Executive Orders while continuing to encourage our citizens to stay home and work safe. We are confident that we accomplished just that.
Austin Mayor Steve Adler sent a statement as well, echoing the belief the local orders do not conflict with the governors order:
Up to this point, we have avoided the naked politicization of the virus crisis. I will not follow the AG down that road. The Citys Order complements, incorporates, and does not conflict with the Governors Order. We will continue working to keep our community safe to the fullest extent allowed by law.

“I retweeted and liked.

I can, Thanks! It got a small uptick, too from people able to see your retweet, I think.
In any case, I don’t matter, as long as others do their own...
