At work one day, a fellow brought in his cordless reciprocating saw to show some of the guys. This was when cordless tools were new.

So he turned it on, showed them how it had plenty of power.

One of the guys said "BS! That thing is barely quivering. I bet you $20 that I could grab that blade with my fingers and stop it."

This fellow actually thought about it for a second. This guy is going to cut his fingers off and then pay me $20 for it?

That's what I think of when I see these fools "owning the libs".

6. Having spent a few hours reading these Reddit threads, I see a common trend amongst these folks.

(1) Spend an inordinate amount of time and posts insulting fellow Americans with hateful, dumb meme's about COVID and the response to mitigate/contain it..
(2) Get sick, but continue to own the libs by remarking how "it's not so bad".
(3) Get really sick and start asking for prayers. And demand the best hospital care, right fucking now!
(4) Die.
(5) Have someone report it and tell us what a great person he/she was....disregarding (1) and their part is making this pandemic worse. Apparently, the folks believe these people will be going to Heaven because they were so so Christlike....huh.
(6) Have someone start a Gofundme account so you can help pay for their stupidity.

Anyways, I am glad to see that these idiots are being documented with their own words. Hopefully, sooner, rather than later, a lot more Covid deniers with wake up to their stupidity and get vaccinated before they get sick.

When they say Marsha Walsh, do they mean Sarah Walsh? She is the representative from Missouri who’s husband died.

Masks and mandates and was hospitalized four days later? His spokesperson said he was fatigued so they put him on a ventilator. Hmmm.
