We know for a fact MAGA voters are dumb as rocks. We need to take advantage of that like the GOP

does. These people literally think JFK Jr. is still alive, they think Hillary Clinton drinks kids blood, they think the Earth is 6,000 years old and Jesus road on a dinosaur. We need to go along with the GOP line that the elections were stolen and convince them not to vote because it won't make any difference or perhaps will make their candidate lose even worse.

Many of these people didn't vote before Trump gave them permission to be racist. They didn't care about their civic duties until they were convinced the US was losing its whiteness.

Maybe I am wrong to think it's okay to trick them into not voting but the GOP has already laid the groundwork that everything is rigged so wouldn't we just be going along with their own line?

Thought?

White Nationalist Feels Oppressed By A Black Little Mermaid

Whoever the lady is in the clip, she is lying! They could not do intercity bussing from East St. Louis to St. Louis because they are in two separate states. East St. Louis is in Illinois and St. Louis is in MO.

Cops Silenced By Mourning Man - Cops Owned

I immediately knew he was mourning with the candles. Either the cop is naïve and still overly aggressive or a complete heartless asshole. The woman cop was actually pretty professional.

A former GOP primary challenger to far-right U.S. Rep. Lauren Boebert in Colorado took the bold move this week of endorsing her Democratic rival in the 2022 election.

In an op-ed Wednesday for the Montrose Daily Press, Republican state Sen. Don Coram painted Boebert as a liar who “claims credit for things she had absolutely nothing to do with.”

Coram urged Colorado voters to back Adam Frisch, a former member of the Aspen City Council, in what the polls currently predict will be a close race in November.

Boebert “spends her time jet-setting around the country promoting herself and extreme rhetoric that only divides this country further,” wrote Coram. “It’s disgraceful and we should expect more from our United States representative.”

He added, “I believe Adam Frisch is a good man,” and said the Democrat is “decent, honest, and persistent.”

Frisch has “demonstrated that he is more interested in representing the district than being a celebrity,” Coram wrote. “That’s important.”

Flu off to an early start as CDC warns about potentially severe season


Getting my shot this weekend. Nothing worse than being down for a week feeling like you are on your deathbed.

Reports of flu and other respiratory illnesses are higher than what would normally be seen in the U.S. at this time of year, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention said Thursday.

"We've noted that flu activity is starting to increase across much of the country," especially in the Southeast and south-central U.S., the CDC's director, Dr. Rochelle Walensky, told NBC News.

"Not everybody got flu vaccinated last year, and many people did not get the flu. So that makes us ripe to have potentially a severe flu season."

Typical flu seasons ramp up in December and usually peak in February.

Walensky's warning comes ahead of a CDC report on flu spread expected Friday. It is anticipated that the agency will say that flu and similar viral illnesses are notably high in Arkansas, California, Georgia, Louisiana and Texas.
