Quit your BS.
‘catholics’ like YOU are NOT addressing the infiltration of The Church by Her enemies.
YOU simply USE, ‘They’re picking on us Catholics!’, like your partners in propaganda USE, ‘They’re picking on us Jews!’, to silence those who recognise the Anti-Theist the wolves in lamb skins.
Every thing done to date by government has done damage.
Some countries have vaccine passports, some don’t, it’s clearly part of the vaxxnudge program, and to a lesser degree to stop those with active covid cases circulating in the community which is why some vaccine passport countries also allow people to opt for the ‘negative test in the last 24 hours ‘ defacto passport.
What certain simpletons need to recognise is that making comments like ‘it will be temporary’ isn’t an endorsement of the policy but an opinion about reality.
Pretty obvious if covid is circulating and you are unvaxxed you have a very high chance of catching it then you will get the much superior natural immunity passport, which is, again, already accepted for international travel.
lol, Calli. Very sciency indeed. Everyone knows you catch a cold if you stay out in the rain, I opine to Hairy, having read my Jane Austin where Mrs. Bennet pushes her eldest daughter into the rain to catch her man or her death of cold. Cautious people need their brolly. People like Hairy, who think umbrellas are for sissies, can take their chances, as I always advise him. Yet I catch worse colds than he does. Go figure.
For pity’s sake srr, you miserable git.
Rosie is being sarcastic about Grigory casting aspersions on the Dash-Cat in order to cause grievance. Like the craven and nasty little troll he has always been.
Your desperation to perpetrate and perpetuate a stoush with someone you hate as mindlessly as Bird hates Semites (of all persuasions, as it turns out. Not just the ones surrounded by Jordan, Egypt and Syria…) across every Cat forum you post on, makes you incredibly poor and highly unwanted company.
If you absolutely have to do a Struth, and denounce and abuse rosie at least once a day to stop your heart exploding from inchoate fury and rage, please be more like Arky and JC.
They, at least, are amusing to watch…
Yes that was what my comment about cathollaxy was about.
I was simply pointing out how stupid it was , no wonder you didn’t understand.
Btw quite a few us know you despise Catholics Mrs Stasi Nongles, some of us have good memories about various comments you made in the dim past.
How about you take you struggle session denouncements elsewhere?
Oh and the ‘picking on us Jews’
Very revealing.
Covid Liberty Quote!
The bottom line is that anyone who downloads their Covid Vaccination Certificate, and uses it, is supporting (or at the very least appeasing) vaccine apartheid.
Anyone (vaccinated or otherwise) who answers such a request or demand with, “none of your business”, is making a stand against it.
I’m sorry if that upsets people, but it really is now that binary.
We are at the stage where people are going to have to dig deep inside themselves and do some serious contemplation of their individual beliefs and principles, and their commitment to them. A journey of self discovery awaits everyone.
Covid Marshalls & their lower ranks are the SS & Stasi of this age.
The Power ‘they’ (those drowning in bitterness towards all who’ve ‘made’ them feel ‘lesser’ by simply succeeding at simple things), have been given is dangerously addictive & they will NOT give it up now that they’ve tasted it
Exactly.
As far as I can tell, the published claims (not my assertions) about the vaxes are:-
1. They do not reduce your chance of catching Kung Flu;
2. They do not reduce your chance of transmission on to others;
3. Theydo reduce your symptoms and risk of hospitalisation or death.
It could be argued that a vaxxed person is a higher risk, because statistically they are more likely to be asymptomatic and unwittingly pass the virus on.
Zatara, glad to see Ida has completely missed Houma, near where my rellies are located.
Hurricane season gotta hurricane; they are all very used to it there, rather like the Queensland coast and the run-in cyclones.
Yes, Mater.
And when some people make a discovery about themselves that they don’t like, they again have a choice:
– own it
– blame others
Guilty consciences are the worst.
You’d need to disaggregate this by age though.
Age is a key determining factor for this virus and its florid expression, vaxxed or not.
I believe I would like to obtain a pair of shoes. Leather ones. Red leather ones.
Also, I have a hankering for pizza.
What?
I don’t even use qr codes except at the hospital and I’ve already made my MYOB stand clear.
And it looks like I missed most of today’s struggle session.
My bad.
Lizzie, while Houma was indeed in the ‘best’ quadrant of the storm it still got hit pretty hard.
Hope your rellies are riding it out safely.
Decades of listening to air transports so big that our Govt has to deny such crafts ever land here (after countless Plane Spotters posted images of such in Oz), leaves me comforted.
The old, mother duck flapping her, ‘I’m injured, I can’t fly!’, wings, while her ducklings swim into cover from the foxes she’s distracted, trick, does still work.
I believe I would like to obtain a pair of shoes. Leather ones. Red leather ones.
Oxfords, please. Not brogues…
[Well-cut suit intensifies…]
KD I’ve seen accusations thrown about on twitter about red shoes.
Is it because the Pope traditionally wears them that the fringe dwellers carry on about them?
Also Bluey seems to be a cult thing too.
For inexplicable reasons I follow someone called Matt Hayden on twitter he seems to be thingy about a few of these things.
Covid Stupidity quote!
“YOU simply USE, ‘They’re picking on us Catholics!’, like your partners in propaganda USE, ‘They’re picking on us Jews!’, to silence those who recognise the Anti-Theist the wolves in lamb skins.”
You’re nuts.
Thats right mt take that out of context.
You know perfectly well in the context of vaccines passports which in most countries includes those who have recently recovered from covid it is perfectly reasonable to say that ‘vaccine passports’ will become redundant once the unvaxxed get and recover from covid.
I know you think you are intellectually superior because Hegel but that just seems to mean in your case reading has made you an even bigger wanker than you would be otherwise.
Re earlier discussions re Fletcher and the ABCess, I used to think the electors of Altona were fools for sending TLS to Canbra. But no less so than people in Killara who vote for Fletcher and people in MacKellar who vote for Falinski.
People like Falinski are seriously hard left like Ian McPhee.
Oh, I’m sorry Mrs Sheen

Be good if he was on this forum.
Of course you have.
After all, lately rosie has been pushing the Pro-Jab propaganda from that circle more heavily than she pushes her own superiority.
Of course you MUST fall into her dictatorial line.
Yet you & others in your ‘acceptable’ circles, trample over the side exposing the many problems with the JABS, and still keep pushing the JABS (NOT Vaccinations), on everyone you’ve spent years convincing your mind, heart & knowledge is so far above those who disagree with what you peddle.
You bullshit Lizzie.
I QUOTE and time/date stamp what’s said by those who (like you now), just put your own lying words in the mouths of those who don’t fall into line with what the Pro-Jab sellers post, so that everyone can more easily see for themselves who makes up shit, WHO muddies and who CAN’T STOP SELLING JABS.

Dear PM, honour your pledge

“While the Australian Prime Minister is on the public record defending religious freedom not all within the Liberal/National government agree. A group of liberals in name only (LINOs) including Dave Sharma, Warren Entsch, Tim Wilson, Andrew Bragg, Trent Zimmerman and Dean Smith argue the draft Religious Discrimination Bill must be watered down.”
“Dave Sharma”
My local member…who I WILL NOT be voting for next year. An iceberg lettuce leaf that’s been soaking in water for twenty-four hours has more spine and backbone that Sharma. I can’t wait to run into him again on the street.
Mrs Nongles keeper of the stasi dossier point to one post of mine where I’ve told people to vaxx.
Seems like yesterday you declared you would abandon the vendetta but no ( gosh that four year hiatus must have been dreadful for you) but here you are with loonie rant after loonie rant.
I would pay folding money to see that! 😀
He would acquire sudden fleetness of foot, and long for a cloaking device.

Australians will tolerate just about anything. It began when they banned cracker night, then came bike helmets — all for our own good — and now sleeves are rolled up on demand and with adoring gratitude.

We have a tradition of doing what the government tells us to, I suppose long term peace and prosperity have that effect.
I just saw former state member walk past getting his essential exercise mask all correct.

The part timer at the Cafe wants to work all the hours he can get to buy his own business but no, his life is on hold indefinitely.
That’s how we live in Victoria.
Two things, rosie.
1/ It would appear vaccinated people catch and carry the same viral loads as un vaccinated.
2/ The Diamond Princess data and other research show 80% of the population don’t catch it. That’s not a “very high” chance.

Contrary to many interested parties, Christian and “secular” alike, we don’t really know where we are in the unfolding of God’s great design. But like our medieval brothers and sisters, who couldn’t have foreseen our time, we do know where to place our ultimate hope and our trust.
Johanna & I have crossed swords often enough that you trying to tie me in as, ‘like her = a target fit for filthy abuse by Lizzie supporters’, is pathetic.
As all cat readers of any decent time know, Johanna & I are like oil & water, best we’re not mixed.
We do our own thing, with the same, ‘I don’t care what you say about me, it’s how it is.’, directness. Something that propaganda pushers stupidly see as a weakness in those who Alinsky & Co taught them to isolate & go after –
“13. “Pick the target, freeze it, personalize it, and polarize it.” Cut off the support network and isolate the target from sympathy. Go after people and not institutions; people hurt faster than institutions.”
As to your personal fixation of crying, “Johanna is ‘fixated’ on me.”, psycho babble (designed to rally white knights for you); she’s been so pin point accurate at describing you, that you had nothing left but to cry the losers cry of, ‘Destroy the people who see the truth of me!’
Daily Mail.
BRS’s wife seems a real piece of work.
I’m compiling a few dot points re drawing a comparison to what’s happened these last 19 months and pre war Germany/Eastern bloc Europe.
Population scared and paranoid
Arbitrary laws
Circumvention of standard democratic procedures to enact those laws
Restriction of the population re movement and association
Police state type enforcement of said laws
Police overreach
Propaganda
Informer mindset amongst the population
Social ostracism of individuals
Thanks in advance if anyone can add to this, gotta zip and go glue some steel together.
“The Diamond Princess data and other research show 80% of the population don’t catch it. That’s not a “very high” chance.”
After the CCP virus ripped through the US only 10.5% of the population actually got it. Worst states around 14.5%. Hawaii under 3%.
srr, be amusing and humourous in your stoushing, or shut up.
Johanna and you are equally obnoxious.
If you want to punch on with poisoned keyboards, do it outside.
Fish-slapping and thrown boots only at the Cat.
@ 132&Bush-
‘Removal’ from general society of Party-declared ‘undesirable’ individuals and groups.
Yet the Indian data showed around two thirds had anti bodies.
I don’t know that Diamond Princess is enough to rely on .
The antibody tests are going to be more readily available so we might get a better picture of those who have had covid or maybe even have natural immunity.
That doesn’t change my view that vaccine passports is a nudge policy , iirc Macron said so and that they are a short term ‘solution’ that for lots of people who are not vaxxed will soon enough become a non issue.
In Israel one of the problems children were excluded from cafes and restaurants because of passport requirements.
Another reason I don’t think they’ll be around very long.
And incidentally, as we live in a democracy, we could always vote them out.
F Perry Wilson thinks most people will probably get covid, if not this variant, then a future one, ( to read this article you need to open an account )
Bullshit.
You know it, I know it, you know I know you know it, BUT, that won’t stop you selling the BS she sells to those she believes can’t resist her ‘superior’ mind.
The ‘More Equal Pigs’ have already long been shitting in the master suite, yet those like you howl at every individual human being who laughs at their delusions of superiority, crying that it’s we who have no sense of humour.

Oh and having had it pointed out, several times, by several people that the country is run by generation x not ‘greedy old women’ someone is running with an absurd theory about the gen x leadership’s covid behaviour.
Meanwhile mostly the same sort of people are dying; frail aged already in aged care or hospital some in their seventies but many more in their eighties and nineties.
None of them those awful cruising capri clad coffee club boomers.
Oh don’t worry, you’ll slip into your old ways soon enough.
Farmer Gez, this story from the Times of India might shed some light:
“The entire saga started on April 11 when my wife and daughter reported throat pain and fever …. by evening, I was running 102.5 fever and my doctor started the entire family on Doxy + Ivermectin + vitamins + blood thinners, assuming all of us were infected.
…I lost my sense of smell on day 6 though, for a couple of days. Just highlighting this as this seemed to me to be a case of mild infection. My family members had thankfully recovered in just 3 days.”

GAB AGAINST THE JAB
ChurchMilitant.com • August 28, 2021
Video 3:10 and Transcript
President Joe Biden: “Today, I’m calling on more country, more companies I should say, in the private sector, to step up with vaccine requirements — require your employees to get vaccinated or face strict requirements.”
Yes, it’s remarkable isn’t it. When you look at the overall picture, the actual figures, this thing just isn’t what it’s being portrayed to be. And those figures still rest on the assumption that the PCR test is “accurate and reliable” and not being abused by ramping up the replications to infinity to get a “positive” result. Oh, and one assumes those figures still also count the gunshot victims, road accident victims etc who might have had a “positive” test result post mortem.
I had to go and get a Covid test because I’m up for a regular med check later this week. It took 20 mins and the swab thing was actually fine.
First one I’ve ever had and really, no biggie at all.

And for your reference, the Good Guys do win. The Good Book is utterly riddled with spoilers, unless you have regrettably decided that God is somehow neither Big nor Bad[ass] enough to be fully in charge of His creation…
is somebody requesting you tested before a checkup ??
or did you choose that yourself?
during this year I’ve been to GP three times, Radiologist twice, dentist, neurologist twice , osteopath twice … actually had another x-ray this morning so make that radiologist 3x.
…none of them ever asked about covid tests and the GPs never asked or pressed anything vaccine.

Israeli government has affirmed that 2 jabs is not “immunity.” Government will change your status to “immune” after you get 3rd jab.
Whatever you think, then, Australia in comparison sits at about 15% vax’d.
Now, WHO is rosie “answering” here?
She tries to make sure WE CAN’T know.
Despite the simple to use quote and/or copy function here, rosie/her posts, MUST BE AMBIGUOUS enough TO PROTECT THEM from their obvious contradictions.
And while pack leaders keep her followers in the dark, let us all consider each other’s ‘old ways’ and why we would be called to ‘slip into them’ –
I didn’t believe the weather Liars before they were proven to be liars, because I lived in the real world that proved their lies.
I don’t believe the Wu Flu Liars (who’ve been proven to be liars), because I live in the real world that proves their lies.
rosie & Co. depend on the majority of their audience accepting the power of those who sell the Wu Flu, to be legitimately ‘above them’.
Hells bells!
No wonder our death rate is up 6.3%.
How many could be bothered go through that horseshit, just to get a check up?
“because I lived in the real world that proved their lies.”
LOL.
well … this is new.
Was there some rationale to go with it?
The world seems to be over run by morons, you can’t get away from them, they all have a loud speaker through social media. They flock like a plague of locusts. Brain dead and sexless, they depend on the herd for their opinions. Compliant and weak, without a large group backup they are snowflakes that cringe at adversity. Little scared rabbits looking to Big Nanny state to protect them. Horrid.
you could pass away in yr 24hr self isolation by choking on a violet crumble
who’d even know?
President Donald Trump has been vaccinated.
Srr, you’ll believe anything that sounds like it’s suitably ‘agin’ anyone and anything you don’t like. No matter how off-the-wall it actually is.
Remember how excited you got on Discord, when you found that ‘conspiracy’ of talking down Australia’s land characteristics and carrying capacity, so as to deny Australians the opportunity to develop the inland? And how hard you fizzed with conspiratorial joy when Faulty joined in and tried to make it all about the slaveholding International Elite, who would take the best bits of Australia’s coastal belts for themselves?
And remember how hard the pair of you screamed and ranted at me when I dared to recite to you the brutal experiences of generations of pioneering types who went past where the reliably arable land stopped, and burst your little bubbles?
Pepperidge Farm remembers…
President Donald Trump and Melania Trump contracted Covid in early October 2020…..were they lying?
I’m pretty sure President Trump and his wife Melania did not lie about having Covid….after all, the diagnosis and stay in hospital meant he couldn’t campaign. I’m sure if he was going to lie about getting Covid he would have chosen a better time.
Just a thought.
Cassie, are you talking to yourself?
Cassie is not talking to herself. I am listening.
No.
She’s asking ussr some very awkward question which has had the desired effect of shutting the conspiracy vomitron up for at least a couple of minutes.

Bushie, one difference I have noticed is travel restrictions. Whereas in the 1930s, German Jewish citizens who could see what was happening could leave the country if that had the means. Australian citizens aren’t afforded the same opportunity.
Peter Dutton contracted Covid and he has always said that it’s worse than the flu. I believe Peter Dutton.
By the way, I respect those who choose not to have the vax and I’m opposed to vaccine passports within Australia….however I have zero problem getting a vaccine passport for overseas travel.
Call for aid for families caught in COVID crisis
By Marilyn Rodrigues -August 30, 2021 – The Catholic Weekly
So is it just me, or was the movie “Oblivion” starring our old Scientology mate Tom Cruise, apart from being full of plot holes, a big red pill?
Some poor maintenance bloke who goes out every day into a hostile environment environment every day, populated by boogey men and dangerous machinery, while being pushed around by his pampered partner who sits at home and watches him on live feed while doing very little useful.
From the get go, its clear she has some sort of (sexual?) hold over him.
To top it off, she’s directed from afar by a very stern older woman.
The future – men doing the shit work, women in the C-suite.
(let’s not even get into the real plot about the super-hot lost wife, who upon waking from her 50 year deep sleep, finds that hubby is a clone (#42), but gets back in the sack with him anyway. When he dies heroically at the end of the movie and she’s bringing up a kid with no daddy, she just shacks up with clone #54).
“My man, Vlad Putin, has outlawed vaxx passports/mandates.”
Oh…isn’t that sweet….ussr (apt name) and Tailgunner are rooting for Vlad who locks up his political opponents.
Yes, indeed.
And you are spot on about some of the alliances formed between assorted nut-jobs around the various Cat sites.
Bird is a master at looking at who is stoushing with who, and giving the appearance of siding with the crazies to enlist support.
He suckered Faulty beautifully by banging on about the “Gang of Four” when I am sure he had no idea who that was.
Just that it got Faulty on the hook.
Even Tom Elliot now reckons cost of lockdowns might be eclipsing the cost of the cov.
Ya think?
duncanm.
You lost me at “Tom Cruise”.
won’t work.
Half of them will be shacked up in a cave with their favourite goat at the time, then come out to battle when the dust has settled.
Bullshit SP, and you know it.
I’m around 12 hours behind catching up on the bullshitters of a number of sites, which means I’m best off giving the timestamps & links to the bullshit I do catch up on, and letting others see for themselves what lying scum the lying scum are, while they, like you, just post more BS in your arrogant belief that no one who matters will go back and check & report what gaslighting a’holes you are.
not all his movies are shit. Jack Reacher was ok.. so was day after tomorrow.
Over half a million people live in the Parramatta and Blacktown LGAs –
Blacktown i city of 54 residential suburbs, home to over 395,000 people, making it the largest city by population in NSW.
The 2020 Estimated Resident Population for the City of Parramatta is 260,296.
Effective 6 September 2021, if you are over the age of 16 and live in or are temporarily staying in a LGA of concern, you must not leave your local government area for work unless you have:
had at least 1 dose of a COVID-19 vaccine or
evidence of a medical exemption
These requirements do not apply to authorised workers before 6 September 2021.
Authorised workers who are unable to have a COVID-19 vaccine can request a COVID-19 vaccination exemption for medical reasons.
You lost me at “Tom Cruise”.
Olga Kurylenko is gorgeous, and I thought the red-head actress who plays the supervisor/partner/conduit was pretty alright, too…
“I’m around 12 hours behind catching up on the bullshitters of a number of sites, “
You have to wonder when this admirer of Vlad Putin ever has the time to get “hit on”.
Here you go, for those who wondered how the vaccine passport might work in practical use:
Oh…isn’t that sweet….ussr (apt name) and Tailgunner are rooting for Vlad who locks up his political opponents.

Oh my goodness!
That aside; Locking up political opponents was brought to Australia almost 20 yrs ago by Tony Abbott.
Serious question: If he were able to, does anybody believe Daniel Andrews would hesitate to lock up political oppenents?
(Rather a moot point, as he does not have any serious political opponents)
The insufferable little prick is a very good actor, also he has that intangible “star quality”
I think we passed that threshold during the first lockdown
Looks like the big tech giants have blockaded the truckies blockade.

you…just post more BS in your arrogant belief that no one who matters will go back and check & report what gaslighting a’holes you are.
Funny how it’s exclusively one-way with srr.
But her projections are always most illuminating…
she certainly is.
I was quite amused by her progression.. from a very mischievous looking minx in Jack’s flashbacks, to a serious astronaut out of the pod, then she suddenly pops up in the next scene wearing a black skin-tight suit and bouncy hair-do. She somehow became hotter as the movie progressed.
The real plot hole is, of course, what happens when the other 200 Jacks turn up looking for love?
“But her projections are always most illuminating…”
Indeed they are.
Very hard to get past the fact that in the novels, Reacher is a 6’5″ mountain of a man, and Thomas Cruise Mapother IV is “allegedly” just 5’7″.
My boyfriend contracted Covid in hospital. He’s asymptomatic….luckily. He’s was moved last week to hotel quarantine. I haven’t seen him in almost a month.
Or perhaps he lying about it all…and is hiding out somewhere with another woman?
“Deactivated”? Or maybe they don’t know about the oasis.
I enjoyed that movie. Cruise is a good actor – watched The Firm a while back and was impressed by the way he captured the venal, egotistical lawyer who suddenly has the rug pulled out from under him. Born on The Fourth of July isn’t bad either. Definitely a star.
He seems to surround himself with excellent co-stars too. Hackman, Blunt, Zellwegger, Hoffman, many of whom make up for his deficiencies. Smart.
Obey! Obey! Obey!
such a dangerous disease.
The Reacher role is ridiculous. One of those enormous Aussies would be more believable.
Sam Worthington comes to mind.

Looks like the big tech giants have blockaded the truckies blockade.
How have they done that?
Trump caught Covid, as did Melania. She appeared to be in a worse state than he was, regardless of age. I have been doing a bit of speculation on how he caught it in an atmosphere of utmost care.
Tinfoil time – how about Melania was deliberately infected with a big viral load, being less well guarded, and passed it on? Young Barron got a dose too. I reckon it was some time around ACB’s swearing-in. And I also think it might have been an assassination attempt, given Trump’s age. One that could not be sheeted back to anyone. Too bad, so sad.
But it didn’t kill the bugger. No worries. Plan A was still all go.
How have they done that?
By turning a blind eye…
How long before any of you, BSing In Concert, thugs, stop trying to tie all the unique individuals who see & declare you as you are, into one.

I’d have said Sullivan Stapleton. Not as brooding as Sam, but whip-smart dangerous.
He did a good job (and had a helluva lot of fun) portraying an ex-Delta operator in Strike Back, my favourite Guilty Pleasure run-n-gun TV show.
(I confess to liking Sea Patrol, but that was more due to Kirsty Lee Allan, Saskia Burmeister and Lisa McCune. In roughly that order. Watching a near-point-blank duel with naval .50cal vs. MP5, and the baddie only dropped down instead of exploding kinda spoiled it for me, though…)
Don’t much like Tom Cruise movies but Oblivion wasn’t bad. However I REALLY want one of those armed, VTOL, space capable, flying machines.

Talked to a friend today. She’s coming to the end of her second trimester and the baby is kicking frequently and hard. Going to be a footy player, I suggested.
She and her husband have been vaccinated. She had a sore arm, and hubby was off colour for a few days. She sounds pretty chirpy.
I shall be taking an interest in how things go.
“You have certainly given us a lot to work with many many thanks. Regarding the lockdown, we completely agree with your sentiments and will fight tirelessly that our freedoms are once again restored and normality can continue. We want to see the State Government’s emergency powers put under the scrutiny of parliament every few months at the bare minimum and we certainly campaign for a meritocratic government. What specifically would you like to see from the Victorian Liberal Party in the near future? ”
A reply from vic liberals. Not sure what to say back
My answer to the original text i received
“Yes. I would like a vote of no confidence in the Victorian state government, an election, an end to lockdown with people given the right to decide how they manage covid for themselves, no vaccine passports under any circumstances, no border closures and a repeal of state of emergency powers except in times of war or civil disturbance, an end to government subsidy of energy, while removing red tape from waste to energy and nuclear power generation, a focus in education on basic skills, an end to the pushing of progressive ideologies by all government departments, strict merit based selection for employment and government contracts and for the liberal party to grow a backbone. “
The original text was from Michael O’Brien’s office.
Again –
You open with straight out generic bullshit that you, I & anyone who’s read both sides of my exchanges, KNOWS has nothing to do with what I “believe” but is simply designed to cancel everything I’ve ever posted; and yet you also expect me to read the rest of your BS and respond to you respectfully.
Only crazy people & those bullied into cowardice would give you more than a reply to your opening lies.
Be content with it.
It’s more quantity & quality than your missive deserve.
not all his movies are shit. Jack Reacher was ok.. so was day after tomorrow.
As Bruce noted above, one of the core aspects of Reacher is his physical presence; Cruise has no physical presence; that lack is overcome in a lot of movies (Mission Impossible) by his energy; but in Reacher it was essential and only its inherent narrative strength saved the first Reacher movie but could not save the second which had a $100 million fall off in receipts. The point is moot anyway since with the latest 2 novels Reacher has gone irretrievably woke with the villains in the latest being Trump supporters and Russians and the goodies being BLM.
It’s a real fucking shame.
I seriously think that Biden’s “plan” is to just “ride it out”.
People have the memory span of a goldfish.
That’s a good list. Well done.
Sad that they won’t listen.
That’s true, Arma.
But remember the Lying Slapper, Turnbull and Rudd? Everything they touched turned to shit. Hiden is like them. He’s low energy and fucks everything up.
One good thing about this proposal is that one could then objectively measure ABC bias using the error method.
Doc, AZ I presume?
This guy was just on Kenny and made a lot of sense in respect of lockdowns not continuing. He also raised the point that the apparent lessor virulence of the Delta is only due to the vaccines.

I am sorry you do not like being conversed with in the manner you deal with all others.
BUT, it must be said that you are better company when you are squealing, stomping your little feetsies and

Les Grossman.
I had my suspicions that Child would end up there with the character.
My spidey-sense went to eleventy when, out of the blue, Reacher claimed he voted Dem. No context, no plot significance, just there like something the dog leaves on the rug when you go out.
The last two books I’m tempted to run through the chopper. Not into destruction, but the stuff was garbage relying on past glories. And so another author goes woke, readers flee.
Except I didn’t say that, you clown. You’re other pal, Arma made that comment and I pasted it for a response..
Go lose some weight, you slob. It may help your brain work a little better although I have my doubts.
Dover, the south American economist is trying to ruin your blog. Yesterday, he was trying to run things like an overweight jerkoff. Today, he’s posting shit to cause unnecessary stoushing. Get rid of the worthless piece of shit. He’s useless .

They are now asking for a what can we do right now?
I’m looking for sensible suggestions.
Support the ldp covid policy?
Formally oppose any notion of a vaccine passport?
I’ve got an ear and I’d like to capitalise.
While acknowledging they don’t want a 73 page manifesto.
..
Easy, Old Mother, you’ll get constipation.
Yep, while others here still champion Abbott, I remind people Hanson had balls before he got her gaoled, long enough to know why she never wants to go there again & easy enough to know she can be put back at any time, and bingo, suddenly she & hers are consistently missing in action when it matters.
Best wipe-outs so far in 2021 at the Wedge; people are nuts:

ooooooops Dover. I just clicked a thumbs up to one of Cassie’s comments upthread and realised I had reported her comment instead. Please disregard. I don’t think I’ve ever reported a comment here anyway. This is not the Dash-Cat, alive with crazies and even there I only ‘flag’ comments by Bird that are offensive for the usual reason, not just his rambling craziness.
It’s flip out time at Dover’s Cat.
A mental health expert was quoted on this arvo’s radio news that the Premiers should be announcing suicide deaths at their press conferences.
He said ‘They are just as dead from suicide as they are from Covid.”
No one will listen to him of course.
Slowly, the lockdown wheel is beginning to turn.
..
Don’t do that Old Mother JC.
Oh no, look at that.
tsk tsk.
You’ve tipped your pureed apple all down your dressing gown.

President Trump was treated for Covid 19 by Dr. Vladamir Zelenko using his protocol ( Hcq, zinc and arithromycin).
This is a simple cheap and effective treatment/ cure.
This raises the question as to why would he be vaccinated when simple treatments are available, as he well knows.

Yes, the trick pulled in another era by plod in the UK on one Mandy Rice Davies and other good time girls, in her case refusing her bail and putting her at the mercy of bad treatment behind bars. We are watching the Keeler series on ABC iview – discovered it is good for something at least. In the episode we watched last night good time Louch Larry Stephen Ward topped himself. He was clearly a Geoffrey Epstein type. The screenplay treats him very sympathetically, perhaps not wrongly, for he really was badly set up by plod. These events played out in 1963, when I first went to tech to get educated and matriculate. I can remember a lot of it, even now. I always liked Mandy, for she obviously played the system whereas it brought Christine very low. Their later lives showed this too.
Is rosie going to loudly, proudly, openly flaunt her breaking of these rules?
Planning on going full Block Warden to demonstrate your superiority, srr?
[Raised eyebrow emoji]
I’m officially calling this the first flip out at Dover’s blog.
Speaking of which, how is mother, Arky?
Plenty of sane people at DashCat, Lizzie. Some even sashay in here!
And there are a lot of interesting links and viewpoints.
Sometimes on the smorgasbord of ideas there’s something that looks a bit weird and wonderful. You just know it’s going to disagree with you. A shame to pass over the lox and caviar while avoiding those horrid rolled herrings. 🙂

The point is moot anyway since with the latest 2 novels Reacher has gone irretrievably woke with the villains in the latest being Trump supporters and Russians and the goodies being BLM.
Reacher has always been a bit woke. The villains are usually white rural rednecks. Reacher generally “saves” some innocent liberal type.
Reacher has always been the worst serial killer in fiction. He usually knocks off a dozen or so, and maims many others. The police (more rednecks) never seem to follow the trail of bodies and evidence to its source.
Whoa. Steady on.
I feel like I need a shower.
The fisticuffs have migrated from salon to carpark and back again.
Call a halt whilst I remove the Dresden shepherd and shepherdess kind sirs!
Bother! You’ve smashed the Waterford! 😀
Idiot –
“One Way” – in a mob posting their stock attacks of partial selected ‘quotes’ containing ‘negative trigger words’ sans their full context, while avoiding timestamps or links to the original; against one person who has to fit their reading & posts between household & family duties – is The Mob’s Way, projectile vomiting all over the place in lieu of an honest word anywhere.
..
I’m here for you, Old Mother JC.
If you feel like you’re going to flip out, squeeze my hand with your bony, liver spotted claw.
I’m here for you luv.
Zelenko never treated Trump.
Hydroxychloroquine trials were halted because basically dangerous.
His Hasidic Jewish community were also not happy about being drawn into his claims
Vladimir zelenko in trumps ear
I’ve been wondering if Grigory – or one of his many iterations – still claims that Gladys, with her reluctance to close up NSW, failed against dictator Dan, who locked down immediately after anyone sneezed within his hearing.
Grigory scoffed when NSW cases began rising, declaring that if Gladys had locked down immediately, as Dan had done, they would’ve been hunky dory. Unfortunately for him and for Dan, Vic cases are rising daily, despite his plebs’ imprisonment.
Would some kind Cat please provide a link to Dash Cat? TIA.
I assume so, Makka, but I don’t know. Her husband works in mental health, so he was required to have it. They’re under thirty.
Turn-coat Tom
look at him walking the tight-rope … I’m teetering this way … wait I’m gonna fall the other way

I hope he slips and falls on his nuts

The only acceptable type of rollmop is the electric one the janitor uses to tidy up the glitter and glass shards after a stoush or Birdstrike…

He’s still going.
Though he goes very quiet and changes socks when poked hard enough…

nothing screams woke like getting paid millions of dollars to, well to scream woke
I agree Boambee, they progressively got more and more overtly woke.
I don’t think I watched a Tom Cruise movie til about five years ago.
Love Minority Report.
Bingo Rex!
Barely an hour after you observe that ussr will adopt any position to attack a perceived enemy, she launches in to Rosie for breaching rules and/or not driving past the cop shop with her middle finger extended as she does it.

I still read Dash Cat….don’t comment much but that’s not to say I won’t in the future but I get the impression that there are some on Dash Cat who are rather hostile to DB’s Cat. I don’t know why…the more sites the merrier! I don’t think one site is better than the other…although I like the layout of DB’s Cat and it is certainly more user friendly. As for the crazies…there’s one here who, when she’s not getting “hit on”, seems to spend her whole time flitting from one site to another. DB’s site is better moderated and I think that’s important.
Get down to the pub so we can sort this out face-to-face JC!
Thanks, Johanna.
Are you looking for new digs? Much available, or is it all ridiculously priced, as it is here?
Well, JC is a no-show at the pub.
Chicken man!!!
Has Covid Science Debate Been SHUT DOWN?!!

Pub challenge not taken up.
Argument won!
Some people on Dash Cat don’t have a problem with Bird. That’s fine…..however I do (and others) and I don’t even want to spend time scrolling him. I now understand why Sinc was so tough with him. I guess that’s why I’m spending more time here.
Que Sera, Sera.
When you stop projecting srr, then maybe we might have a conversation.
You have now gone full Struth.
You should never go full Struth. Fun as mindlessly attacking rosie or Lizzie might be…
Did I mention a couple of weeks ago I sitting near coffee shop unmasked with gs while a total of eight police went back and forth to buy coffee.
Why yes I did mention it.
Obviously they just used their nano wriggler readers to confirm I was one of ‘them’.
You should never go full Struth. Fun as mindlessly attacking rosie or Lizzie might seem to be…
Minor correction…
I love herring…finely chopped on a sweet biscuit called kichel. I always break the Yom Kippur fast with herring on kichel.

There’s a hole in your thinking dear Anger, a hole.

… but nah, you just have to either shove your words in others’ mouths or deny the words they do speak to frame their honest meaning with your ugly lies, just like the same MSM bullying mobs do to all individuals who don’t buy into their ‘popular consensus’.

It is usually Perry the Verry Tedious One who makes that claim. He has notably had nothing to say about the latest Vicco lockDan, and its failure to produce the promised result expected (by him) of an early, hard, lockdown.
I knew you’d say that Cassie! Lol.
Rosie
Zelenko never treated Trump
This is wrong. You are not in command of the facts.
Meh. He threatened to run me over in his Model A (even did one of those “flip book animation” thingys).
For obvious reasons, I didn’t take it seriously. I live on a hill. Unless he has a tow truck (which I very much doubt), I reckoned it was an idle threat.
Okay then Goanna.
How about you produce some facts?
Glad you can still mind the grandchild, rosie. Give the little one an extra cuddle for me. I will sense it in The Force.
Thanks, BJ.
It’s always interesting how the mentally weak have to crawl to others for support.
A reply to WHAT?
Reads like a reply to a, ‘Good on ya for keeping us safe, is there a time we can plan to holiday again? I have no specific complaint or suggestion cos golly gee, ya kept us alive!’, suckholeing letter.
