You own views are appreciated, especially if they differ from mine. But remember, commenting is a privilege, not a right. I will delete personal attacks or off-topic remarks at my discretion. Comments that play into the tribalism that has consumed this nation will be declined. So will comments alleging voter fraud unless backed up by concrete evidence. If you attack someone personally, I expect you to identify yourself. I will delete criticisms of my comment policy, vulgarities, cut-and-paste jobs from other sources and any suggestion of violence towards anyone. I will also delete sweeping generalizations about mainstream parties or ideologies, i.e. identity politics. My decisions on these matters are made on a case by case basis, and may be affected by my mood that day, my access to the blog at the time the comment was made or other information that isn’t readily apparent.
You’re a classy guy ... and obviously homophobic.

DeleteTrump would never fall for her. She/it is an American and speaks English fluently.
ReplyDeleteAin't nothin homophobic being on the beach with a dreamy blonde on Memorial Day!
ReplyDeleteWhy would that be homophobic or transphobic? It is a heterosexual man with someone who now considers herself a woman. Isn't this showing tolerance and acceptance

"Trump would never fall for her. She/it is an American and speaks English fluently."
So you hate people with an accent? You must be a "liberal" !!
Rachel is a well educated and accomplished woman. Why she decided to spend the holiday with the randy and rowdy wolfman is beyond belief.
ReplyDeleteJust kidding. Wolf has that permanent look on his face of a man who, having just been read his Miranda rights, is fearful of uttering another word.
that's hysterical bernie! is that Chris Christie in the background?
ReplyDelete6:15pm so busy being PC that he can't see that there insetting homophobic about this post.
ReplyDelete"So you hate people with an accent? You must be a "liberal" !!".
ReplyDeleteI am a liberal and I was just trying to point out that Trump likes to marry women who arrived in this country on a boat and speak terrible English. Being that you are a Trump supporter I can see why my original comment went over your head.
Trump's wife does have an accent but is fluent in five languages. We are a nation of immigrants with a majority coming to these shores learning English as a second language. Yes many did arrive by ship with their life's possessions in burlap bags
DeleteAll proud to learn the language, take the oath and become Americans. Have a great Memorial Day weekend.
"that's hysterical bernie! is that Chris Christie in the background?"
ReplyDeleteWhy yes.
Bernie I used to like you until you had to get that dig in on Chris Christie. That's hilarious!!!
ReplyDeleteLove the cellulite!
ReplyDelete"you have no sense of humor"
ReplyDeleteNeither do you. You make fun of people. You make fun of a person who sexually identifies as a woman. You have continued to do that. You cloth it in your "great sense pf humor". Problem is your only humor comes at others expense. You can't take it when it is dished out to you. You are a fragile and self-conscious person who can only give it out but cant's take it. Now moderate that away Mr. Humor not, more like Mr. Angry.
What a world we have.
ReplyDeleteOK. That's really funny. Thanks for the belly laugh. Hahaha. Christie ....
ReplyDeleteLike the Bad Orange Guy or not, Melania's English is as good as the Queen's. She is Slovenian and actually speaks six languages. And a quick Google search will lead you to her very outstanding nude photos. Beats hell out of the forty-some first ladies before her. Michelle Obama was a Sasquatch. Barbara Bush was the Quaker Oats guy. Melania is smokin - in six languages.
ReplyDeleteI just vomited in my mouth! Then laughed out loud hysterically!
ReplyDeleteFantastic picture! This should be the TIMES cover page for person of the year. It would show the real heroes of the pandemic.
ReplyDeleteI wondered...
ReplyDeleteBernie
ReplyDeleteNot certain how but along the commercial marketing American way, Memorial Day's purpose was forgotten.
Now it's mattress sales and more. Stores aren't even embarrassed to include such words
as "celebrate" as they describe their Memorial Day sales.
If only our federal officials would launch legislation to call for Memorial Day symbolism reform.
I tend to like all the first ladies. From my time, I'd say Jackie Kennedy was the most attractive, with Melania a close second. I would not argue if you inverted this. They have all been beautiful in their own way, with the possible exception of Nancy Reagan. My personal favorites are Laura Bush and Rosalind Carter, both of whom seem like such nice people. I do not like to see them trashed unless it is for something they themselves do.
ReplyDeleteRegarding Laura Bush. Some say that even when Mrs. Bush was insulted by Mrs. C, she never uttered a nasty word in return.
ReplyDelete2:30
ReplyDeleteI know you are but what am I?
You have to be a sad sight at 2:30am to be that pissed on this blog.
I'd let Dr. Rachel examine and then milk my prostate anytime especially now the prolonged closure of massage parlors has me very backed up.

I'm not about to make fun of Dr. Levine's personal life choices. Yes, her transformation is getting far more notice than it should. She's one of thousands who made similar decisions. I have no desire to do such a thing, but why criticize someone who needed to take the step?
ReplyDeleteLook, doing something so dramatic takes great courage. It submits oneself to abuse from those who never even met the subject. Through it all, she deserves a life of peace within.
Humor? more likely an example of "target fixation".
ReplyDeleteWolf is the evil bad guy and Bernie needs to attack him for something.
The General assembly could have overturned Wolf's actions quite some time ago but they are not the target.
Unemployment system is messed up and of course it is Wolf's fault(and Wolf deserves blame there) but mention the Legislature closed unemployment offices another pass is given as they are not the target.
Nasty lighting effect between them down below...
ReplyDeleteWith a swollen Jerry Lawler seated in attendance, in the ring, taking over for Andy Kaufman is...
ReplyDeleteGovernor Tom Wolf the New Inter-Gender Wrestling Champion and his opponent, virus grappler and Health Department Secretary Dr. Rachel Levine.
LLLLets get ready to bumbllle!
I love it when Bernie has time on his hands. This picture is definitely a silver lining of the pandemic. It’s a keeper!!
ReplyDeleteBernie is a giver not a taker, you can take that any way you want!
ReplyDeleteFunny how most of the 13 original colonies are now run by Tyrants ! Our forefathers are rolling in their graves.
ReplyDeleteIt will be interesting to see how Pennsylvania politicians up for election through November will do with this travesty hanging over their heads. I know from conversations and what others have claimed, people are really pissed-off with Pennsylvania leaders. Wolf ya nothing to worry about, but all others?

1) I consider this "reform" Governor a phony who got in over his head. He certainly is an elitist and lacks both transparency and accountability. He has zero charisma, no leadership qualities and selected one of the worst cabinets he could assemble. He will go down as one of the state's worst Governmors, and we've had a few bad ones.
2) The General Assembly needs 2/3 to overturn Wolf. That means some Democrats would have to join and they refuse. It would be more accurate to say that Wolf's fellow Dems in the General Assembly refuse to overturn him, but you already knew that and are pushing a dishonest argument. Thus is why you end up deleted.
3) The legislature closed no unemployment offices and has no authority to do so. This is all Wolf. What's worse, he made the decision to shut down without discussing with business or legislative leaders, and without making any preparation in advance for the crisis he caused.
Classy, Bernie.
ReplyDeleteThis is small of you and one of many reasons, like your man crushes, that most people dont take you seriously as a journalist. I used to think you wanted some credentials but especially during this pandemic you've shown your vindictive tendencies override any pursuit of objectivity.
ReplyDeleteI am not here to be "objective." Anyone who claims objectivity is necessarily a liar. I am here to tell the truth, and I have exposed the failures of both Trump and, more particularly, Wolf. And for someone who does not take me seriously, here you are at 8 am, on a holiday, commenting away.
ReplyDeleteLarge Marge !

I' am not a Trump supporter but I am an immigrant with an accent
"women who arrived in this country on a boat and speak terrible English"
Liberal elite
Assklowns up all night frothing at the mouth because of your great article about PA's failure of its people by the king and its court jesters.

Not Clem. The fraud of a sissypants snowflake, one perpetually curled up in the fetal position, waiting and shrieking for SOMEBODY to do SOMETHING! A weak and feckless loser whose life is but a joke.
While you were posting your bullshit in your jammies, Covid coward, we had two days of fun in the great weather. Family, fellowship, BBQ and all the things you can never have in mommy's basement.
I thank the good Lord, every day, that I was born to greater than your pitiful existence.
