In California, do we really care this year (on our call this morning, only 1/20 colleagues would confess to doing something for the superbowl, and that consisted of going over to his folks house)? Now Florida...considering Florida (like most of the rest of the country) is on a downward slope, and considering its probably too early to really get started the coming 3rd variant-caused wave), and considering Florida is mostly open, we'll get to see exactly how much of a bump these behaviors really create. There hasn't been a bump up in testing either in LA County so it doesn't appear a ton of people are rushing out for precautionary testing before visiting grandma for the superbowl
Let Them Play CA

People only get tested to protect grandma.
Protecting Bob, Patty, and Larry at the Superbowl party sounds less important. Besides, Larry is tough. He'll be fine.
You misrepresent the CDC’s stance. Yes, like everyone it wants schools open safely as soon as it is safe. It does not mean that it can be done safely everywhere.
There are different factors that affect different schools in different regions very differently. Claiming that we should just reopen all schools because the CDC says so and nobody gets Covid there, let alone spreads it to others, is irresponsible and borderline brain-dead.
So who misrepresents their case more you or me?
CDC Makes The Case For Schools Reopening
Federal researchers say, with proper safety precautions, schools don't seem to fuel outbreaks, with some exceptions such as indoor sports practices.

Shocking. Charge you with ageism and antifeminism: the assumption that grandma doesn't love football (at least my kids does)

Go to the CDC website and read what they actually say.
There goes your invite.

I'm not a big american football fan, but when my grandparents were alive, I never once went to a super bowl party where they were in attendance. That's just one data point
Gosh, Mr. Apologist, there were two things Cadet Bone Spurs did not completely screw up, so let’s ignore his actual abysmal record, the worst in history.
Grace was just giving me grief. The point on no testing sure for bowl parties still stands.I'm not a big american football fan, but when my grandparents were alive, I never once went to a super bowl party where they were in attendance. That's just one data point
Besides, grandma can't go to the party because she's in Texas, reviewing HS tapes and recruiting a new WR for the 'Huskers.
The Syrian Kurd scenario is quite complex. They straddle both sides of the fence and have often been their own worst enemy and a great ally (situationally driven). Their conditions didn't spiral out of control as badly as most western, hysterical media and pundits predicted. We still enjoy a healthy relationship with them on the ground. Strategically, it's likely easier for them to leverage their influence without having us right there. They prefer to leverage our existence in the form of bombs, missiles, and the occasional SOF raid. They like us over the border in Iraq, keeping the Turks in check. They are a savvy bunch.
Kurds in general are complex, spread across 4 countries. Even with their abandonment in 1991, the Iraqi Kurds enjoy the most power and stability in the region, insulated from much of the general drama that is a characteristics of their people.
The complexity of the entire situation exceeds MSM's ability to explain. It certainly exceeds the capacity and capability of your average congressmen and senator.
Ha...an opinion piece..
Uh, anonymous @watfly giving his opinion regarding the foreign “policy” of Mr. Can’t Hold a Glass of Water or Walk Down a Ramp is an opinion “piece”. The Washington Post’s opinion piece, however, is based on actual fact. Go back to your fact free Parler if you need to make yourself feel better.
Never mind about Parler. Still down. Maybe you can get the “real” scoop on Twitter from the Mein Pillow guy instead.
It’s the mid east. Of course it is complicated.
That does not explain why we spent years building a relationship with them, only to abandon them without warning.
“it’s complicated, you wouldn’t understand” is rarely used by someone whose policy is defensible. It’s used by someone who doesn’t want to have to defend a mistake. So they change the subject, throw around some FUD, and claim it is too complicated for mere mortals to think about.
It isn’t complicated when they’re woot wooting b.s. “progress” between Israel and nobody countries that have no actual impact on Middle East relations. Hey look! The Tangerine Tantrum in (former) Chief stayed within the lines in his coloring book, therefore he is a better artist than Picasso!

Did you look me up, stalker ladyboy? Hey, since Trump is gone and you can’t get pregnant, why are you here?

I hear you can’t be within 100-yards of a school.
Can't disagree more. The Syrian Kurds weren't abandoned, we pulled out of the terrain that Turkey intended to seize. NATO alliance (unfortunately) is more important than the shaky alliance forged with Kurd factions that are designated as terrorists groups by a NATO ally. The Kurds often do these things to themselves. They in fact have conducted terrorist operations into Turkey. We remained in place throughout northern syria, except where Turkey decided to plant their flag. To this day, we partner with all of the SDF Kurds. To what end? no one really knows or cares. Just another way to spend american taxpayer dollars without a strategy.
The MSM puts out crap that is inherently wrong, vauge, or advantageous to their position. It's unfortunate.
Beyond that, failed policy and inadequate decision making back during the "red line" tough talk debacle put us in the backseat in Syria early on. But that's a whole other story. We haven't had a coherent policy in the middle east in...well...forever. Leaving in a coherent manner is a start.
I thought you had changed your view and were going to start advocating people get back out there. Then you can get rid of all the "maggots" that way. What happened?
Your responses continue to prove that you just don't get it, I will continue to try and teach you. Those kids who are not in school are going to be the ones you giving food stamps to in a few years or ones that become lifers at McDonalds. The ones in zoom class with a black screen or can't get on zoom because their internet is constantly going out. But hey, keep them at home where they are safe. Guess what dude, kids that are in a better socio-economic environment don't have those problems. They are at a private school in class (one reason public school enrollment is so low,) they are getting tutoring, and they have the equipment to be able to learn virtually (like dual monitors, not some tiny laptop that you can't even see the screen)
I told you not to mention schools and you continue to think you know. Sure, keep them at home, but remember that is how the rich get richer and the poorer get poorer.... you are going to see such a big learning gap between those that continued their education and the ones that missed a year and a half of school....they are going to be so far behind, no way they can catch up....especially if they are a junior or senior.

One of the most widely-accepted theories behind why trumpanzees fixate so much in alleging pedophilia by others is “fever dream projection.”
Why Is the Far Right Obsessed with Pedophilia?
The right demonizes liberals and Democrats as "pedophiles" by inventing or misrepresenting facts.
