I sincerely doubt these people wouldn't have been just as reckless with Hillary Clinton as President.I agree. And Hillary Clinton would not have had the power to control people's lives the way the Chinese government did. So it's not Trump's fault that our infection rate has been higher than China's. It is partially Trump's fault that it has been higher than that of many Western countries. Failure to use the federal government's purchasing power to increase mask production early on is definitely Trump's doing. |

Actually, the states can do it under the police powers granted to them by the 10th Amendment to "protect the welfare, safety, and health of the public". In reality, though, no state governor from either party wanted to touch that with a fork, because it would have been political suicide. |

I'll give you a pass because I like you but I absolutely hate when someone makes that distinction, and there's always someone on Facebook that does it. I am proud to call it Station all the time. Except for the Shuttle, I call it's station "terminal". |

My son Arthur (who some of you might remember from Branford) is in the Navy stationed in Yokosuka, Japan, in an apartment off base in the city and he said the covid numbers are very high there and rising. Luckily he already got both shots. |

And FTR, I prefer "Grand Central Station" myself, so you go ahead and hate that now 😷Nobody says Penn Terminal because it isn't a terminal—all but four tracks are through tracks. Now let's move on to Boston's North and South Stations, which are pedantically terminals . . . |

I want to add that although I call it Grand Central Terminal, and I’m the kind of person who gets pedantic about certain things, I don’t have a problem at all with Grand Central Station. A terminal is a kind of station and is calling it Grand Central Station going to get it confused with something else, like omitting “George” from the “George Washington Bridge?” |

Perhaps they might be a litle over the top but I find it really pathetic that every damn liberal on this board seemedto give incompetent DemoRAT governors Grisham, Cuomo and Newsom get a free pass for their incompetence and malfeasance in handling not only their state's finances but their miserable handling of the Chinese virus that has strangled our country. The fact is Bomo Cuomo put the covid carriers in the retirement homes last year and it led to a large death rate as the most susceptible to the virus were now roomates of sorts with the sick. While this was going on The Chinese News Network (CNN) and MSNBC did everything but kiss Cuomo's ass by giving a get out of jail card. What's worse is that I come on board after seven months and I have to read about our governor out here, the gruesome Newsom who has made bungling an art form in my state. At least someone in the liberal camp should have the guts and courage to stand up and say these two dorks have been piss poor in leading their states, and don't get me started wit that baboon in New Mexico. |

Only the LIRR and NJT terminate there, while Amtrak passes through. Grand Central Terminal is literally that. A terminal where the tracks all end. Grand Central Station is the Post Office address where we sent out payments to in the 1970s whenever we purchased something from a magazine or TV commercial. |
