Lost one of my favorite cousins to covid

couple weeks ago, at least she was one of my favorites until 6 months ago when she stopped by our house
and was telling us about the covid outbreak at her church that week and refused to wear a mask when asked
to. Became obvious she stopped by to promote Qrump and warn us not to accept the microchip shot.
Fast forward to last Friday, ran into another anti mask/vaccine cousin that was related to her and I asked if
he had gotten the vaccine yet. I'm normally cool, calm & collected when talking to idiots but after 10 minutes
of "free-DUMB" talk, I lost it and shouted "Hope you get the virus and die" and walked away. I've always liked
Steve and probably always will. He belongs to a Christian Motorcycle Ministry so this morning I decided to write
him a letter centered around "What Would Jesus Do", that way he can hear my thoughts and not interrupt.
Sorry, I just had to rant and get this off my chest.

Could we use a new forum on DU dedicated to messaging?

A place to exchange ideas on how best to educate the public why they should vote Democratic vs Rs. Plus to
tell others what questions/experiences worked for you when talking to Rs. Midterms are coming up.

VOTE TO TAX ME NOT THE RICH T-shirt

.VOTE TO
..TAX ME
....NOT
THE RICH
This is the next T-shirt I'm gonna have made up to help get our message out what we're trying to accomplish
for this country. It's a reverse physiology thing and would be a conversation starter with others about what's
fair in regard to taxes. What would happen to the midterm elections if every Democrat had one of these
T-shirts and wore it every time they go out in public? QublicOns would see it so often they might actually
give some thought about not voting a straight ticket to look after their pocketbook. Is it possible to start
a go-fund-me page just to buy T-shirts for Democrats who can't afford one? Shirt could use some $$$$$$$
signs, suggestions welcome.

Simple solution to solve the supply chain issue ???

Could the White House call up National Guardsmen and/or Reservists with CDLs to help out major trucking
companies who are currently short handed. There's probably members in all our military branches that
have CDLs or could operate cranes at our ports. We could even give these under staffed companies the
help for free as an incentive to play along until they get their labor shortages fixed. Also the companies
should pay for room & board as necessary. We could keep this up until there's no backlog of ships waiting
to unload. Might make Biden/Democrats look like heros.



On edit ....for all you half empty glass people, yes there will be a lot of logistics to figure out but there's
a solution to every problem ever encountered by man, that's why we gave our President EOs to use
as he/she sees fit. Lets see if we can get our elected officials to at least discuss putting our service
members to good use solving the supply chain issue. There's nothing to lose discussing ideas.

One Veteran's response to "Thank You For Your Service"

...When people say thank you for your service, I reply: " I was drafted. But I would do it again for you"
Was in my local paper today under the "Ask Amy" column, offshoot of Ann Landers.
I can't say this because I joined, '71-'73 US Army 11B

How I got trumpers to actually search for the truth.

Last week at a local bar & grill, I'm sitting with 7/8 trumpers in my red town when naturally one started badmouthing
Biden in attempting to get under my skin. The conversation evolved into how Qrump gave us the highest standard of
living in the world, and with that remark I agreed and then asked "What other countries are in the top 5 ? Look up
countries with the highest standard of living someone". 4 smart phones went to work, 2 were busy reading how the
studies were graded, the other 2 deplorables started yelling fake news at me, told them to yell at their phones not
me, "I had nothing to do with those surveys". At least I gave about half of them something to think about.
Have you ever googled "countries with the highest standard of living" ? Could be the conversation starter you need.



on edit, added.......
I burst out laughing when one said " What we're 15th? "

Are any Ks counties giving the booster shots with Moderna yet?

I know some counties have been giving the Pfizer booster, Sedgwick for one. The Ellis county health department
website claims they're waiting on a go-ahead from the state health dept. Everyone in our county got the
Moderna and a few got J&J from the local Dillons when it became available. CDC said go-ahead so why wait
on the state to say OK? Or is it some stupid chain-of-command thing where the state has to weigh in
all the politics of vaccines before they can make a decision? But if some counties whose first 2 doses were
Moderna and they're now giving Moderna boosters out, then it's my local health dept. dragging it's feet.

Wore my new "FUCK IT, DIE THEN" vaccine T-shirt to Walmart yesterday

in my red town along with an N95 mask, got a lot of giggles & smiles, but one smart ass mumbled
"fucking liberals" as we passed each other, I turned around and said "I'm a REPUBLICAN" ! (I lied) he stood
there speechless and I added "that's the problem in this country too many people don't want to do their
part to help us get past this pandemic so this country can get back to normal & put people back to work"
He just stood there dumbfounded & I walked away.
Don't know how to post pictures yet, but here's the T-shirt
