YouTube is like CFOT in that regard - heavy-handed in their moderation. Feel free to boycott them if you don't like their policies. Or better yet, start your own video streaming platform ("SackTube?") where people can post as much bullshit as they want without fear of takedowns.

Truth of the matter is most opinions on car quality don't matter as most people don't keep them beyond warranty. My company RAM will be a first for me personally. The Two Lexi would be #2 and #3 . In two years the Dodge will be #4 .

And I'm 53!

If you don't put miles on vehicles, it doesn't really matter anyway. Still, fun to watch him go off

Glad to hear that TMan is doing great!

Aside from four trips to Houston last year, and half a dozen trips to Raleigh the year before, I haven't really travelled for work for 4 years. Don't miss it, but I do. Lifetime Titanium status with Marriott.

SackTube. Hmmm...has a nice ring to it.

I can't boycott something I never watch. Literally the only time I watch a YT vid is when it's linked here or in CFOT. I have never went to YT to watch anything. Yes, they can moderate anything they want. It is strange that they'd remove a video of a network news broadcast when there is so much apparent BS on YT, but it's their place to do with as they wish. And it's not like YT is the only place on the internet with videos no matter how much they wish that were true.

But we live in a world where Fake News planted by Russian trolls can influence elections and people drink bleach and fish tank cleaner because Trump talked about it during a news conference, so I can understand why YouTube would take down such content. Bottom line it's their platform and they can do whatever the **** they want with it.
The entire Russian Collusion/Russian Trolls thing has been completely proven to be a fabrication used to cover up malfeasance by our intelligence communities and the DoJ, directed by the White House. It's all coming crashing down.

That man didn't drink fish tank cleaner because Trump said CHQ was promising. His wife, a long-time Democrat donor and activist who had quite the history of making shit up, poisoned him. He was an engineer and intelligent enough not to drink tank cleaner that had a chemical name similar to a pharmaceutical that has been around since the 1930's.

The fact that you used THOSE TWO EXAMPLES speaks to a quite thorough brainwashing by our MSM. You really need to see past their bullshit and their water-carrying for the DC permaparty.

The doctors didn't orchestrate the video. It was a news article by a local ABC affiliate. YouTube controls what news we can see now?

Good to hear about your son. I’ve recently seen what helpless looks like and it isn’t fun.

Hope all is well with him going forward

Montana unemployment claims decrease significantly, some schools reopen

The number of unemployment claims filed in Montana last week decreased significantly while some small schools opened their doors to students Thursday as the state continues to relax restrictions meant to stop the spread of the coronavirus.

For the fourth straight day, Montana reported no new cases of COVID-19 Thursday from 465 tests run on Wednesday, the health department said. Montana has 456 confirmed cases, 16 deaths and six people remain hospitalized.

In southwestern Montana, tiny Willow Creek school opened to a couple dozen students to finish out the final 2 1/2 weeks of the school year. Students' temperatures were being taken as they got on the bus and entered the school. The students' desks will be placed 6 feet (2 meters) apart and lunchtime and class bells will be staggered to avoid having too many people in the hallways or bathrooms.

The school, southwest of Three Forks in Gallatin County, has 56 students and 18 teachers. About a quarter of the students planned to finish the school year from home, school officials said.

Schools in the eastern Montana towns of Circle and Melstone also planned to reopen on a voluntary basis Thursday, The Billings Gazette reported.

“Small town, it’s easy to think all of our kids are OK and fine and handling it. Fact of the matter is, it’s a weird situation,” said Circle superintendent Preston Wenz. “I just wanted the kids and the staff to have a chance to come in and finalize the year. ... I’ve had some already tell me, ‘I don’t really need (academic) help, but I just want to come back and see my teacher. I just want to come back and see my friends.’”

Federal data shows Montana processed 4,263 new unemployment claims for the week ending May 2, bringing the total claims to just over 100,000 since the state’s stay-at-home order was issued. Last week’s claims were a 72% decrease from the previous week, but are still 560% higher than the 762 claims filed on this week last year.

Montana's Department of Labor and Industry anticipates rehiring to quickly occur in bars, restaurants, and other establishments that are allowed to reopen under the first phrase of Gov. Steve Bullock's phased reopening of Montana’s economy, the agency said.

“Our department economists will be shifting their focus to continued claims by industry to determine where hiring is occurring,” DLI spokesperson Lauren Lewis said Thursday.

For most people, the coronavirus causes mild or moderate symptoms, such as fever and cough that clear up in two to three weeks. For some, especially older adults and people with existing health problems, it can cause more severe illness, including pneumonia and death.

The CDC gave the President a 17 page list of conditions to govern when states should reopen. He sent them back. Now some scumbag in the CDC leaked them to CNN to hype another anti-Trump story.

17 ****ing pages? States should tell the fed gov to **** off and open when and how they want to.

Why is it the Center for Disease CONTROL instead of Center for Disease PREVENTION?

Because they control the disease...who gets it, who doesn't, who is allowed to cure it, who gets paid for the cure, how it gets counted, how it gets reported, how it is responded to, and what liberals get to take credit for the positive aspects.

A lady just walked by our house with a hooded sweatshirt tied to cover her face except for her eyes - on which she had ski goggles.

Wait until you are here for your first winter. Temps may drop into the upper30s at worst and you will see people dressed like they are going to Antarctica for the winter.

We were here last winter. We saw a little of that. We still have all of our ski clothing, maybe we should get it out for virus protection.

We could all dress in ski masks and goggles for golf Sunday. Would that fit in the club's dress code?
