What an asshole. Play by the rules or sit your ass home. Why is this so difficult? Imagine spending so much time and energy, not protecting people around you because you are such a fucking entitled ignoramus that you won’t get a vaccine. My patience for these people ran out long ago.

Oh.

The lady casually checking her texts while singing and then blowing her soul through that clarinet is Doreen Ketchens:

How to steal an election: “Seeding an area heavy with potential Democratic votes with as many absentee ballots as possible, targeting and convincing potential voters to complete them in a legally valid way, and then harvesting and counting the results.”https://t.co/LwE3MdeWeG

Republicans consider Democrats voting legally to be “stealing”.
How to steal pizza: seed an area with potential pizza with propositions to buy pizza. Target and convince employee to sell you pizza. Provide banking information and/or cash. Leave a tip.
Bam. You’ve just stolen pizza. They’ll even bring it to your door and just GIVE it to you. https://t.co/tDYhqw84xD

The Dumbest Person in DC contest has a lot of competitors these days, but Ron Johnson always pleads a strong case for why he is most deserving:
Sen. Ron Johnson (R-WI): "We all hoped and prayed that the vaccines would be 100% effective and 100% safe, but they’re not! We know that fully vaccinated individuals can catch covid, they can transmit covid, so what’s the point?!" pic.twitter.com/9V6rqBT9ey

What’s the point? I dunno. Maybe this chart would make some sense to him if he had a brain cell:
Here’s the source for that graph.
These people are just so exhausting.

Former President Donald Trump was booed by a portion of an audience in Dallas on Sunday when he said he had received a Covid-19 booster shot, according to video of the closed press event that was shared on social media. https://t.co/62UtqYf5PD

Of course he got booed. Trumpism has nothing to do with Trump. He unwittingly tapped into it. Since Nixon’s southern strategy, Republican politicians have been using racist dog whistles to solidify their shitty racist base. Trump, not one for subtleties, used an air raid siren instead of a whistle. And they finally could once again be out and proud about believing that the US is for straight white guys and fuck everyone else. Those Trump flags you see streaming from pickup trucks are nothing more than neo-confederate flags.
It’s all about being against anything those brown/gay/abortionist loving liberals stand for.
