I hope during Biden's covid presser today.......

he comes down real hard that everyone needs to mask up because of the omicron variant.

Can we continue passing BBB for only 49 States?

Yes I realize that would never happen, but if a few nationally recognized political figures would promote the idea,
MSM might pick up on it and start reporting on it because it is so outrageous. Thus bringing Manchin and West
Virginia to the top of the news cycle and hopefully giving Manchin's constituents something to think about.
The squeaky wheel gets the oil.

Whenever an R mentions "Hillary's Satanic baby eating pedophiles"

I respond with "You know they never eat their own, it's only Qepublican babies they have a taste for".
After their reply I'll add something like "Didn't qrump tell the FBI to investigate Hillary and lock her up?
Could they not find any evidence? Did they even compile a list of all the missing babies? Where are the
parents shouting for justice?" Always challenge them to look it up with their smart phone.

The Ark of the Covenant discovered on Oak Island.

Prior to bringing it to the surface, Rick & Marty invited American & Canadian Government officials for the

unveiling along with dozens of well known Evangelicals who they felt would guide them on how to properly

handle such an important artifact. Everyone agreed that since it was a Jewish artifact, 4 Rabbis would lift the

top off to reveal hopefully the original 10 Commandments. What they found surprised everyone because

there was not 10 but 12 official Commandments which Evangelicals immediately called "The Big Lie"

#11 THOU SHALL NOT PREACH POLITICS IN MY HOUSE

#12 THOU SHALT NOT VOTE REQUBLICON





Just in case........

Should we join the Rs in their fight against CRT? CTS instead?

We just lost a Governors race because of their CRT messaging, which tells me they'll be hammering hard
on CRT in the midterms. Recent article in my KS newspaper stated no school in Kansas teaches it, but the
repugs here are attempting to bring it front and center as if we need to deal with it right now.

So lets just agree with them that it's a problem that needs to be dealt with, with one caveat, we need to be
teaching CTS instead. That being Critical Thinking Skills. We take away their message and replace it with
something which should be required in schools.

They'll find a way to badmouth CTS but I suspect it'll just prove they have no CTS to independent voters.
If they raise a big stink about not teaching CTS, we'll be asking why they want to keep people stupid.

BTW, I'm not against CRT, but "acting" like we Ds are also concerned about it could neutralize one of their
talking points and make them explain why they're against CTS.

At Biden's pandemic presser scheduled for tomorrow

I sure hope he tactfully attacks R congress people & RW media for their anti mask/vaccine rhetoric which is
keeping it alive & well. We know going into the midterms Rs will use the pandemic against us for votes.
Lets get ahead of them for a change.

Maybe he could welcome their suggestions on how this Country could mitigate it's progress. Get their suggestions
in writing/emails so we can use their stupidity against them. "Come On Man" we need to work together.

Simply shouting "Free-Dumbs" doesn't appear to be helping.

Jimmy Kimmel's show last night had "Zuck on a Truck" parody

Pretty funny, starts at the 10:50 minute mark. Red hats are not MAGA.

Open letter to ABC, CBS, NBC employees

While chasing ratings in the 2016 election you unwittingly helped Rs elect their guy. I'm sure you are aware
that today a number of lifetime loyal Rs (Bill Kristol, Michael Steele, Lincoln Project, etc) have been saying
the R party has to die or be stripped from power for our Democracy to survive. Are you listening to them and
using your critical thinking skills?

The writing on the walls is becoming clearer everyday, Rs attempted to overthrow our Government to keep their
guy in power and voted against even investigating Jan 6th. Is this the type of politicians you can honestly say
you're proud of? The ones who call you fake news?

IMHO, Rs have been slowly turning into an authoritarian Fascist group for some time now and will continue to do
so until they achieve that goal. And if they do, will they allow you to say and write what you believe, or will they
give you only the proper propaganda to broadcast and kill those among you who refuse to comply?

If Rs regain control of one house in the midterms, we'll see BBB diminished to where it'll never achieve it's goal
of putting America back as having one of the highest standards of living in this world.

Not saying you need to quit your both sides-ism to look unbiased but you could give The Lincoln Project a reduced
advertising rate, you can remind people Dec 13th that the (planned) book burning in Fredericksburg VA remind you
of Nazi Germany. Lots of little things you could do.

So you want to save Democracy for your grandchildren, or you want Rs back in charge to get another big
tax cut? Who said the love of money is the root of all EVIL?

Anyone have something to add?

I recorded Tucker Carlson's program last night on FQX noise

For one reason only, to see what he had to say about the Ahmaud Arbery verdict yesterday. Fast forwarded
through most of it, not one word about the Ahmaud Arbery verdict and he had kyle rottenmouse on most
of his program claiming kyle was the victim. Small wonder FQX viewers are brainwashed idiots.

'Secret Sister' gift exchange is illegal pyramid scheme

The “Secret Sister” gift exchange campaign quickly became popular several years ago through Facebook posts
promising participants would receive up to 36 gifts, in exchange for sending one gift. Each holiday season, the
scheme pops back up. A newer version of this scam revolves around exchanging bottles of wine; another
suggests purchasing $10 gifts online. You might see references to receiving "happy mail" or doing the exchange
"for the good of the sisterhood." During the 2021 holiday season, be aware of variations of this theme that may
crop up on social media.
The scheme starts with a convincing invitation, either by email or social media to sign up for what seems like a
great, fun program. All you must do is provide your name and address and personal information of a few
additional friends, and tack this information on to a list that’s already started of people you’ve never met on the
internet. Next, it’s your turn to send an email or social media invitation to send a modest gift or bottle of wine to
a stranger along with their friends, family and contacts.

Since it's popular on Facebook, wonder what they are doing about scammers?
