This is a stand alone because it so precisely sums up every complaint I have had about the "experts" for the past decade. They always imply the "science is settled" and you should just shut up and believe what the experts say.
As a scientist, I have been crushed to hear the stupidity...that you are not supposed to question. My most concerning moment came when they started to dictate masks. I looked up the studies for using masks for viruses...and they all said they were useless...especially for lay people who wouldn't use/fit them properly. I then went back to those studies a few weeks later and they had been taken down...WTF. And not because the data was found to be faulty, but for political reasons.
Fooled one time is a lesson, fooled twice is a choice...never again.

@bek1 Who is your favorite movie villain?
Congratulations to @Fuezie and @steve-allen. Your questions were chosen for tonight’s Ask Greg and the Panelists.
@Fuezie What's one job where you have to trust people even though you really don't want to.....?
@steve-allen What daily habit do you do that you really didn't know you had until someone pointed it out?
Gupply moaning, all. I greet you well.
A 'phone call this morning from Co-op Legal Services, in regard to my funeral plan - coming along nicely, and everybody should have a fine time and be suitably enriched when I breathe my last. Something to be looked forward to, though I'm sure they won't mind if I keep them hanging on just a little while longer.
Lady from Legal Services: "We have your partner down as Mrs Christina Astonished. Can you confirm that?"
Me: "No. I don't have a partner."
Lady from Legal Services: "Oh." [A few moments of silence.] "But according to our records, you do have a partner..."
Me: "I really don't have a partner. But I do have a wife."
Lady from Legal Services: "Isn't that the same thing?"
Me: "It's very far from being the same thing."
There was no point in arguing with the Lady from Legal Services. She was just doing her job.
But I make the same point whenever I am confronted with that bloody word. I won't have all our years together and our tight ...
Warning! Mini Rant-
This has been mentioned by others but...Tired of the Nancy Guthrie story-have no problem with updates...but why dedicate 20 minutes to the opening of EVERY SHOW on Fox to rehashing the same news. Give it a fucking rest.
Tired of the Epstein files. Like every intelligent person on the planet, we understood why you don't just release 6 million documents where simply being mentioned is a "Gothcha" moment. Ro Khanna claimed they were “wealthy, powerful men that (sic) the DOJ hid," and then he read their names on the House floor for all to hear. Except they were people who appeared IN A LINE UP, and who Khanna didn't even really know who they were. I hope they sue his ass off. I'm sorry, but both sides have had a chance to look at these files, and if somebody was CONVICTABLE, they would have been brought up by now. Heresay is not allowed in court for a reason. Give it a rest.
Tired of Democrats feigning ignorance as to why ICE is having to be heavy handed in areas...
