The nerve of these people

Won’t get vaccines, won’t mask up, don’t want anything closed down….but blame Biden for the crisis that their actions are creating.

It’s like the arsonist blaming the firefighters for the building burning down, although the arsonist turned off the water and also blocked them from getting to the building.

Read a thread on our local NextDoor app yesterday--comments about the "illegals" bringing in the virus. Blaming Dr. Fauci ... it's all a political game to regain power in 2022. Who cares how many people die in the meantime?

Always remember that all the loudmouths on Faux are vaccinated--they have to be to enter their workplace. They just don't let their rube listeners know that.

I wouldn’t even let her finish her sentence. Jumped in to complain about the anti-vaxxers in the red states. She didn’t pursue it.

I’m sorry. I just REFUSE to let statements like that stand uncorrected. At least she already got vaccinated.

get their news from Facebook, and Facebook's algorithms are severely slanted to the right. Is it any wonder?

Eating in. Happened to park next to a car with GA plates sporting a bumper sticker that said "Pro-America, Anti-Biden". My first thought was "How can you be both?" but I didn't say it. Then I played a little game of "Spot the Trumpnik". I was right on, too: 60-something couple who should probably not have been wearing the clothes they were and she needed to stop bleaching her hair platinum too. "Go home and stop polluting our state," I muttered under my breath as they got into their gas-guzzler and headed out.

And lesson one if you were ever in the military, don't lose your shot record. Lesson two, don't mess with the finance clerk. Lesson three, never tell your platoon sergeant that you don't have anything to do.

When my dad got stationed in Morocco in 1956 when I was 6, I got about ten shots before we left
the US. My arms were very sore for a while. Typhus, typhoid, tetanus, diphtheria, bubonic plague,
and several more I can't remember at the moment. But, I never caught any of those things.

Other than getting the disease himself, what else did MF45 do to ameliorate the COVID pandemic?

(Yes, I realize he got some of the vaccines started with operation warped speed)

Lying FOX bastards. None of them deserve to draw another breath on this planet, or any other.

Its audience does not look for consistency in the Propaganda it's fed. It lacks critical thinking skills and has the memory of a gnat. It wants to hear that it isn't at fault, that they are being attacked.

Fox can lie on any side of any issue it believes will help the cause of keeping old White people agitated, and switch on a dime.
