In other news.. Ivermectin killed two people in New Mexico.

Ivermectin poisoning calls have increased 163%, poison control centers report.

But hey at least those two Ivermectin poisoning deaths didn't add to the statistics of Covid death of the unvaccinated. Caleb Wallace would be proud of those two.

They still giving out Herman Cain awards?

Hey man

Appreciate the info on the possibility of the mectin killin 2 folks after being prescribed millions of times

I dunno, seems like ganda to me cuz they want everyone to get the jab. Pump up the fear as high as possible. Low IQ folks seem to buy into that kind of stuff.

Anyways, I was wondering how many peeps died from the jab. You got that info?

Politics.

As.

Sports.

I think the Redskins should've been renamed The Washington Bureaucrats or how about the Capitol Hillbillies

Most normal people don't engage in politics. Politics is when you form a group of people to pressure politicians to change or not change something. While political discussion has its place, its more of a discussion than a political act.

Most people here are caught in the trap of using their consumer choices to form an identity. Which is the heart of support for people like Joe Biden and Donald Trump. Their base is made up of those that have bought into two opposing lifestyles choices; they picked one of the two mainstream brands.

Owning the libs is a consumer choice. The focus is on what kinds of podcasts, movies, music the person chooses to consume. Being a normal democrat shitlib is about how much you enjoy crappy multicultural content of Netflix and eating at wholefoods (the founder was a libertarian -- so take that).

Most people have very similar views to their parents. The highest predictor of what your political persuasion is what your parent's politics were. When you try to engage in a discussion about their pro-establishment or otherwise fetal political beliefs, they defend it as if you are attacking them -- their identity.

Trump never produced any good evidence of election fraud. In Arizona, they hired a full team of stop the steal fanatics to find how Trump really won. The problem is he didn't. So were left with the usual: Unverified accounts of suspicious activity and vague handwavy gesters toward how suspicious it all looks from the outside.

But you can't get them to see the light. Trump said it was stolen. Being a Trump supporter is a (sometimes crucial) part of their identify. If you attack Trump, even when he is obviously wrong about something, you are attacking their very sense of themselves.

His point was that bringing up rape with regard to abortion is a red herring, because the vast majority of abortions performed are not the result of rape. Rape is already a crime, the law is not legalizing rape. I do think the texas abortion law goes too far, because I think genuine rape victims who get pregnant deserve special considerations, but he is right to point out that the law barely affects anyone on those grounds, because the vast, vast majority of abortions are not the result of a rape.

When was the last time you heard a Governor come out and say they are doing everything they can to aggressively eliminate all rapists? Credit to Governor Abbott for his strong political stance.

Most people don't think women should be jailed for abortion. Just a reality check for everyone.

Once you acknowledge that is very unlikely to change, you see what a bullshit pointless wedge issue this is. With no jail as a punishment, wtf are we really talking about here? Making sure it stays in the bad neighborhoods?

There were more than ten thousand rapes reported in the state last year, but now he's going to look into it?

Trump’s appeal, and why he won, was because he wasn’t a typical politician. He was crude, he was rude, he was just a blunt non-pandering kind of guy

America was (still is) sick of PC culture, and Trump was counter-culture

That’s what made him appeal to me. Not so tribal or blind to think he’s beyond reproach or incapable of making a mistake. No one is

If old dude would seal up the border and finish orange dude's wall it might help reduce the pillaging somewhat

I could be wrong though

Republicans are rude idiots with no class, I think I've got it.
