Watch Man Confront Tucker Carlson in Montana: “You Are the Worst Human Being”

We cant have this! What kind of country is this going to be if a man confronts a racist, science denying, treason forgiving, when ever they get the chance because it is justified?

20 bucks says Tucker hires him a rather large fellow to walk around and hold his hand in public for a while.

Devin Nunes: Deep state may use 'computer generated graphics' to fake Joe Biden speeches

This made me laugh

Calling it "the Trump vaccine" implies there's a disease called "Trump" and that this vaccine protects you from it. Do ANY of you think before you speak?

Conservative Michigan Republicans who gave themselves bonuses out of COVID funds now forced to return it

According to The Guardian, called out Shiawassee County commissioners were told by prosecutors that the payments were illegal and that they had to be paid back. The Argus Press reported the incident to the local community, explaining that the Michigan state constitution doesn't allow such compensation "after services had already been rendered," prosecutor Scott Koerner explained.

Maybe we'll get to see CG Joe Biden fighting Darkseid in the Extended Extended Cut of Justice League!

It's too late. Trump's cult is already infected by the anti-life equation.

Funny thing (Or sad) depending on how you look at it. My aunt has been saying this for a couple days. Guess maybe it was making the rounds in the nut job News letter?

Worstblogever could tell you there were boatloads of Republicans saying all kinds of crazy ass **** LONG before Trashy Greene came along. Nunes is just one of those nutbags.

Yep. I read his posts. That is why I am surprised I was surprised at anything these people say.

Nunes is more well known for lawsuits against journalists than saying crazy things, so the crazy stuff is typically missed.

[Malvolio]

Maybe we'll get lucky and re-districting will eliminate Nunes' seat in the House.

Chicago native Joseph Mercola the most influential spreader of coronavirus misinformation online, researchers say

SAN FRANCISCO — The article that appeared online Feb. 9 began with a seemingly innocuous question about the legal definition of vaccines. Then over its next 3,400 words, it declared coronavirus vaccines were “a medical fraud” and said the injections did not prevent infections, provide immunity or stop transmission of the disease.

Instead, the article claimed, the shots “alter your genetic coding, turning you into a viral protein factory that has no off-switch.”

The entire effort traced back to one person: Joseph Mercola.

Mercola, 67, an osteopathic physician in Cape Coral, Florida, has long been a subject of criticism and government regulatory actions for his promotion of unproven or unapproved treatments. But most recently, he has become the chief spreader of coronavirus misinformation online, according to researchers.

Chicago native Joseph Mercola the most influential spreader of coronavirus misinformation online, researchers say

Five will get you ten this assclown has secretly been vaccinated, just like Trump and Faux News fearmongers. Scumbags like Mercola are the worst sort of hypocrites who put the lives of Americans at risk to serve their own selfish interests.

On BBC website today one of lead articles is about US vaccination rate slowing…in spite of 99.5 percent of current deaths being unvaccinated people.

UK vaccination rate is also slowly…though not to same extent. Here it seeems to have slowed primarily because younger people (the 18 to lower 20’s) who are being vaccinated now are less keen than older people to get the jabs.

(Most still want it, of course…but there’s a bigger proportion who are less concerned about risk, thinking perhaps their youth and good health alone protect them well.)

All told I’m baffled. It is not rocket science to see getting jabbed is a darn good idea. Yes there’s some false info out there on the net…but really any remotely aware person ought to be able to realise the anti-vac case is piffle.

Speaking of UK vaccinations, the anti-lockdown rally in Trafalgar Square had some truly insane moments.

Anti-vaxx conspiracy theorist Kate Shemirani tells rally that healthcare workers fighting COVID could face Nuremberg-style trials

Kinda nice to see that the US doesn’t have a monopoly on bat-**** crazy.
