Shut up with your shaming, bitch.

Most of the old&sick who were going to die of other things have already died of it. Half the people being inoculated now have already had it and recovered from it.

I'm never getting the shot for this. Me and about 80 million other people.

Deal with it.

When I watch the video that goes with this story, I realize these people are crazy. Crazy people, by the way, have difficulties staying in the middle class: 'I'm a prophet': Pastor discourages his congregation from taking vaccine. CNN's Elle Reeve reports on the misinformation and distrust that has contributed to many Evangelicals saying they won't get the coronavirus vaccine.

It is package: vote for Trump, refuse vaccination, live with crazy beliefs, have unending trouble staying in the middle class. The people wrapped in this package can't see themselves for what they are. Too bad for them, but it's not my problem. It is all their own fault and I don't have to deal with them if I don't want.

If you're on birth control, your chances for a blood clot are anywhere from .3% to 1%.

But you can't take the J&J shot because six women out of a million got blood clots.



Nah...

Methink's it's because it is old tech that doesn't allow TPTB to fuck with your DNA.

Carson brought in 9 million viewers on average every night.

The Jimmy Kimmel camp thinks cracking 1.5 million in a post-Trump America is a big win.

Nobody cares.

April 11, 2020:

Quote:

I will be voting out the Governor of Indiana as soon as I get a chance though. There have been no Federal mandates fucking everybody right now. That was done by the governors and other leadership of individual states.

Eric Holcomb's political career is likely over after this.



So apparently I was wrong about that, because that sack of shit is still in office. He actually got 310,000 more votes than 2016. Most of that came from the Democrat candidate's losses from the previous cycle which were down about 265,000 from what the Democrats got in 2016. Interestingly, Libertarian Donald Rainwater (who I voted for) got 345,567 votes in 2020, compared to the 86,964 the Libertarian Party got in 2016.

Quite a few more people voted in 2020 in Indiana than in 2016. And I'd say the only thing that saved Holcomb's career is Democrats just being awful across the board.



But in better news...

Republican Lawmakers Override Holcomb's Veto Of Emergency Powers Bill

The latest veto override puts into law a measure that allows the General Assembly to call itself into special session during a public emergency, giving legislators more power to intervene in the governor’s decisions in times of crisis.

The measure, HB 1123, stems in part from many lawmakers’ frustration with Holcomb’s executive orders during the COVID-19 pandemic. The governor says the legislation is unconstitutional.



No, you piece of shit. YOU and your governorship are unconstitutional. You need to go.

Sorry not sorry you've lost your unchecked Emergency Powers. Should have used them wisely while you had them.

The Government should not let its drive for health certification stall at Covid-19 passports. If it is serious about saving lives and promoting personal responsibility then it must target the avoidable and identifiable disease of obesity.


Yup.

Had this conversation with my old man just a few weeks ago. He said that you should be able to choose not to get vaccinated, but you should have to pay more for insurance if you don't. Then he went on to tell me the same thing about my smoking.

And then I told him that his fat ass with his Covid-60lbs shouldn't be throwing stones from that glass house and that he should consider himself lucky that his floors aren't made of glass too.

He's since started exercising again.

‘I thought I was dying’ says COVID-19 denier Ted Nugent after announcing he has COVID-19
https://www.dailykos.com/stories/2021/4/20/2026747/-Anti-masker-Ted-Nu
gent-reluctantly-admits-he-has-a-bad-case-of-COVID-19-I-thought-I-was-dying?detail=emaildkre


A little over a week ago, reports came out that aging 1970s rock-n-roll hunting enthusiast Ted Nugent was still promoting the concept that the 2019 novel coronavirus was all hype. During an interview posted on Facebook, he asked the question: "You know, I guess I would ask you — because I’m addicted to truth, logic and common sense — and my commonsense meter would demand the answer to why weren’t we shut down for COVID one through 18?" Now, I know that as a parent I frequently find myself saying things like “There are no stupid questions,” but in this case, well, um. It wasn’t a surprising take from a man who has made a career of being ignorant and saying ignorant things. In general, playing his guitar loudly over his ignorance has allowed people to pretend they didn’t hear him.

On Tuesday night, Nugent did a Facebook Live where he told his audience he had contracted the virus. “Everybody told me that I should not announce this. I have had flu symptoms for the last 10 days. I thought I was dying. Just a clusterfuck.” Nugent also repeatedly used racist MAGA-virtue signaling the entire time that put the blame of the virus on China. He described his experiences over the last 10 days, saying he could barely crawl out of bed because he was in such bad shape. He said he was finally tested Tuesday, thus the diagnosis.

Nugent has been a very public COVID-19 denier, telling conservative radio personality David J. Harris Jr. in August that he thought all of the reported coronavirus-related statistics being put out by world health organizations and our own country’s scientific communities were made up. “They claim 160,000 people dead from the Chinese communist virus. Bullshit. They claim millions and millions have been tested positive [for the virus]. Bullshit. They claim that the ICU units are overcrowded. Bullshit.” He also called himself a “radical for justice” during that same interview, but he seems to have been mum on all of the deaths of citizens at the hands of law enforcement. Racist much?
