Clear decrease in the rate of climb in NYC

[PoliTalker]

Hello dukkha,

trying to equate mid-terms with a president up for re-election is apples and oranges.

But do bring up his verbals-I know the Trump campaign will be doing the same for Biden's many gaffes.

the Big One that will haunt Uncle Joe is his calling Trump's halting of incoming Chinese flights.
You recall he called Trump "xenophobic" and "racist" for doing so? that's a killer right there

The prez is on the hot seat for the lame US response. He will pay in the election.

That little rally-round-the-leader bump he got after the emergency was finally declared isn't going to last when the bodies really begin to pile up.

We would all like to see that, but maybe it's just wishful thinking. I just checked the link and it seems to have been updated. Maybe the story you looke at and link has scrolled off by now.

I like numbers. I am going to have to dig and find the numbers to check out what you say. The worldometer link suggested the opposite.

I just clicked the link and it’s still there.

I didn’t say it, Cuomo did.

Hello dukkha,





Good one. Made me laugh. Try 2018 on steroids. Remember all the people he campaigned for who lost? And now he is going to campaign for himself? Fine with me. All we have to do is bring up his record, the trail of tears. We'll quote him, let him speak for himself. He is his own worst enemy. Everything he said can and will be used against him in the court of public opinion.

2018 was a non presidential year. Typically the presidential party loses seats but on Presidential years the party of the President typically pickup seats and incumbents tend to win a second term.

Yet both Sweden and Japan have seen fit to not shut their entire countries destroying their economies in the process. I wonder how happy you'll be when your work dries up?

That one would stand in a bread line to get rid of Trump.

Hello Darth,

I didn’t say it, Cuomo did.

OK, I looked again and saw it. No actual numbers, just a description of them. And I certainly trust Cuomo a lot more than the prez.

So why is NY state not releasing those numbers? I would still like to see the numbers. Math I can deal with. Numbers don't lie. I wonder why it is such a big secret?
Show me the numbers. Show me the numbers. Show me the numbers.

I can't find em.

You don’t believe Cuomo?

And why is it so easy to think good news is ‘bad news’ to you?

What's interesting about the catbird, is that it has numerous calls aside from the obvious 'meow'.

Right you are! Catbirds are rather intelligent birds, having vibrant personalities, and are fun to watch go about their business. Most common and distinctive is their 'meow' call, and one usually hears that call coming from thickets and shrubs, where they love to hang out. But they do have other calls too (and even seemingly improvise some of their calls), and they can also mimic other bird calls quite well. I've even recorded (on video) a catbird in the act of doing just this (the other bird would do its call and then the catbird would repeat it afterwards).

They are also rather intelligent in that they absolutely will not accept cowbird eggs into their nests, so long as their own egg is the first egg that they recognize. VERY rarely, but it does happen, they will unfortunately recognize the cowbird egg first and discard their own egg.

One of the most noticeable, and prevalent is from the various wrens. This house wren sings all day long looking for a wife

Yup, wrens are pretty neat too! Another favorite of mine (although I don't see them all that often) are Scarlet Tanagers.

Are you familiar with cash flow?

Yes. I am a competent accountant.

Such as if you don't have the money to buy something,it can't buy it!

Same with any other product/service.

Or are you as fucking stupid as you appear to be!

Insults are not arguments.

I trust Cuomo more than DT, but it is bothersome that no numbers are available.

Adjectives are fine. I want the numbers. Numbers talk.

If anybody can find a source for the accurate up-to-date refreshed numbers for NYC, please post it, thanks.

I can't find 'em.

Darth can't find 'em.

You don’t seem to have the same problem touting ridiculous mortality rates.

Why would Cuomo make up such a thing?

Trump is now using numbers that the medical pros were using months ago. He downplayed it for political reasons. Now the bodies are piling up and he could no longer deny them. Trump is not getting these death counts today, He was briefed from the beginning. He was given the facts that the people did not have. He figured they were damaging to the election. Every president gets blood on their hands, Trump is taking a blood bath. People died so he could win in 2020.

Nope, a direct response.

Give it a rest.

Not many birds are wise to the cowbird ploy. I've been amused to see juvenile cowbirds crying to a grackle for food, and then following the elder grackle when it takes off. They're truly a scourge, but much worse for smaller birds than the ones that grow at the same rate.

I see an occasional tanager, as we have thick woods nearby. Not often enough, though. I've got rose breasted grosbeaks that come every year and stay the summer. They're actually pretty social, and won't flee the feeder just because I'm walking across the yard. Spring is a fascinating time of year here. We have plenty of birds passing through on their migration. I wish the indigo buntings would stick around longer than they do. At least the goldfinches do.

My grosbeak always looks like he's wearing a tuxedo. He's so popular with the ladies.
