Selfish GOP asshole refuses temperature checks which help to prevent the spread of coronavirus.

The source provided a slightly different headline, but I fixed it for them.

GOP Lawmaker Refuses Temperature Check

Ohio state Rep. Candice Keller (R) “refused to have her temperature taken at work this week, calling the practice an invasion of her privacy,” the Cincinnati Enquirer reports.

Said Keller on Facebook: “The reason I’ve had to put up with so much opposition over the last 4 years as a Representative is that NO ONE GETS TO CONTROL ME. I mean, NO ONE. I have civil rights and I have a right to privacy.”

Has Susan Collins talked about Trump's tweet referring to dead Democrats?

Do you think she's more than deeply concerned this time?

Maybe she might even throw in a furrowed brow?

Trump's Net Approval IMPLODES in His Favorite Poll -- Down 15 Points in 3 Weeks!



Trump’s Net Approval IMPLODES in His Favorite Poll — Down 15 Points in 3 Weeks

President Donald Trump got more bad polling news, as his net approval cratered in a pair of new surveys — including the one he often cites because it typically shows him faring better than others.

Last week, Trump lashed out at Fox News after their poll showed him losing to former Vice President Joe Biden by eight points, and his net approval dropping by 20 points. But on Wednesday, he got even worse approval news from a pair of national polls.

The Politico/Morning Consult poll had his net approval at a whopping minus 17, with 40 percent approving of the job Trump is doing and 57 percent disapproving. That marked a 7-point drop in that poll since May 8, when his net approval was at minus ten.

But in the Rasmussen daily tracking poll, which Trump and his White House frequently cite because Trump tends to overperform in it, the bloodbath was even bloodier. On May 8, Trump was dead even with 49 percent approval and 49 percent disapproval.

Three weeks later, Trump’s net approval has sunk by fifteen points, with 42 percent approval and 57 percent disapproval.

Letter Carrier Attempted Election Fraud by Changing Mail-In Forms from 'Democrat' to 'Republican'

Source: Law & Crime

A letter carrier has been charged in federal court with attempted election fraud, the U.S. Attorney for the Northern District of West Virginia announced Tuesday.

The postman defendant, Thomas Cooper, 47, of Dry Fork, faces one count. That’s according to court documents obtained by Law&Crime.

“Cooper admitted to altering some of the requests, saying it was a joke,” the Department of Justice said in a news release.

“In April 2020, the Clerk of Pendleton County received ‘2020 Primary Election COVID-19 Mail-In Absentee Request’ forms from eight voters on which the voter’s party-ballot request appeared to have been altered,” the DOJ said in a news release. The West Virginia Secretary of State’s office investigated and determined that “five ballot requests . . . had been altered from ‘Democrat’ to ‘Republican,'” the news release said. “On three other requests, the party wasn’t changed, but the request had been altered.”

A video circulated on social media on Monday showed a woman in Central Park falsely claiming that an “African-American man” threatened her life.

The incident was said to occur between a man and a white woman over the Memorial Day weekend. Cell phone video shared on Twitter revealed a verbal confrontation as the woman was exercising her dog without a leash.

After the man asked the woman to put her dog on a leash, he took out his phone to film her.

Poll: Almost half of Republicans believe Bill Gates is plotting to microchip billions of people

According to a new Yahoo News/YouGov poll, 44 percent of Republicans believe that Bill Gates is plotting to use a mass COVID-19 vaccination campaign as a pretext to implant microchips in billions of people and monitor their movements — a widely debunked conspiracy theory with no basis in fact.

HAHAHA: Trump attacks on Obama are actually making Obama more popular according to Fox News poll

Trump’s Net Approval Craters By TEN POINTS in Latest Fox News Poll

President Donald Trump’s net approval rating has sunk by a whopping ten points in the latest Fox News poll, while former Vice President Joe Biden has opened up a significant lead in that same poll.

<...>

Joe Biden now leads Trump by eight points, 48 percent to Trump’s 40 percent, in a head-to-head presidential match. That’s up eight points from April, when Biden and Trump were tied at 42 percent.

<...>

Another interesting result, in light of Trump and the Republicans’ recent and fierce push to make “Obamagate” happen, is that former President Barack Obama enjoys a 63 percent favorable rating versus just 35 percent unfavorable — a five-point upward swing from last month and his highest-ever rating in the poll since his inauguration in 2009.
