South Carolina Gov. Henry McMaster (R) on Sunday accused health experts of "hyperbole" and "exaggeration" in regards to the current COVID-19 surge brought on by the more infectious delta variant.

During an appearance on Fox News Sunday, McMaster affirmed to guest host Dana Perino that he would not be enacting a statewide mask mandate and when it came to vaccinations the governor said he would let residents "make their decision" based on information provided to them.

Perino noted that South Carolina has recently seen increases in the number of COVID-19 cases, hospitalizations and deaths, with cases rising by over 250 percent and hospitalizations rising by more than 120 percent.

He is a sick asshole!

First thought before you can actually read the signs?

Mine was oh damn, a trumpkin.

I was so pleasantly surprised today when at first, I was approaching an old truck with two large flags on poles on the back and a sign which I couldn’t read.

I was in an Atlanta Georgia neighborhood.

As I came up behind the truck, I groaned expecting idiocy, then I read the signs, wow, my mood flipped!

“Get your vaccination so we can all be free from the virus”

Also saw a Stacy Abrahams sticker!

Great guys cruising down the street.
I wish I could have gotten a picture.

The caller asked me what I thought about hospitals firing people if they refused to get vaccinated.

Let him have an ear full on that. Wanted to know why I didn't support a law to protect those who don't get vaccinated.

Then he moved on to critical race where he asked why I support teaching it. I told him we should be teaching our kids everything then teach them how to think not what to think.

He wanted to know if I would support a law to ban transgender people from using their "chosen" restrooms. I said where are they suppose to go.

He asked me if I was a conservative or progressive. I said does your chart have bleeding heart liberal.

He was quick to get rid of me at that point.

The end of the world must be near


Sen. Lindsey Graham (R-S.C.) said on Monday that he accepts the results of the 2020 election, and urged Republicans, including former President Donald Trump, to focus on the upcoming midterm where the party wants to win back control of Congress.

"I accept the results of the election. ... 2020 is over to me, I'm ready to march on and hopefully take back the House and the Senate in 2022," Graham told reporters in South Carolina.

Before you alert because I am peddling right wing talking points, please read!

I need help countering a right wing talking point.

I had three people I work with, all who never wear a mask try and tell me a new report claims masks are not affective. Yes, they are all trump followers.

My response was what right wing site is touting this. No response. I only found one on a quick google search and it definitely right wing.

So, how many here have had right wingers shouting this?

I am only going to stop wearing a mask when Dr Fauci says I can.
They admitted that flue season was far less severe than normal, but still they believe what they want regardless of facts.

Rant off

I am like a kid waiting for Christmas.

I became eligible under the South Carolina guidelines last week. I tried all week to get an appointment from everyone offering them.

I found an appointment through the state site but it was in late May. I was also on a waiting list.

Overnight I was awakened by the dinner I had earlier in the evening which had habanero sauce. So as I couldn’t sleep, I had the brilliant idea to check the various sites on line for appointments.

BINGO! An appointment was available on Friday!

YOHOO!

I wrote an email to this shit head when the Senate was debating the trump impeachment 2.

I just, today received this ignorant response:

**************************************

Thank you for contacting me regarding the 2021 impeachment trial of former President Donald J. Trump. On February 13, 2021, I voted to acquit President Trump on articles of impeachment.

The charge against former President Trump for inciting violence was contrary to the evidence. It was never the goal of the House to find out what happened on January 6, 2021 and then assign blame. They were assigning complete and total blame to President Trump regardless. This was an impeachment effort driven by passion and hatred against President Trump.

In their drive to convict former President Trump, the House Managers totally ignored bedrock legal standards. The House of Representatives held no hearings, had no witnesses, heard no testimony, and made the outrageous claim that the First Amendment does not apply to political speech.

As your United States Senator, my primary job is to understand and represent the interests of all South Carolinians. The opportunity to hear from you about the issues confronting our nation is not only essential to representative democracy, but allows me to better serve the people of South Carolina. We will not see eye-to-eye on every issue; however, I promise to always give your concerns the consideration they deserve.

I encourage you to visit my website — http://lgraham.senate.gov — as it will have information on the most recent activities before the U.S. Senate. You can also sign up for our e-mail newsletter, Facebook, Twitter, and YouTube pages which will provide the latest information and updates on the major issues facing our state and our nation.

Thank you again for contacting me. I truly appreciate the opportunity to hear from you and am honored to have the opportunity to represent your interests in the U.S. Senate.

Sincerely,

Lindsey O. Graham
United States Senator

Total hogwash!

After a deadly storm swept through Texas, Jim McIngvale's Houston furniture store was packed — but not with shoppers. McIngvale, who goes by Mattress Mack, is known for opening the doors of his furniture stores to those in need. So when a snowstorm left Texans without power or heat in the frigid cold, Mattress Mack invited hundreds in.


"Least we could do is open this furniture store to let people come into a warmer place," Mattress Mack told CBS Houston affiliate KHOU-TV. "Sofas and plenty available TVs, plenty of available mattresses, plenty of available and lots of hot food."

So far, he's opened his Richmond and Houston, Texas, Gallery Furniture stores as shelters.

Wonder what Jole Ostine is doing!

There will be a next time because this ass is twice emboldened. His shitbag supporters are twice emboldened and they will be back.

Not only is trump guilty, so are his chickenshit senators.
