All purpose news and politics thread part VI: This Is Not The Time For Posing

[Kirby101]

Not just "a thing" but fully supported by the current Administration.


Mike Pence slated to speak at fundraiser hosted by QAnon supporters

I just don't understand how anyone can still vote Republican on anything. Not vote for Trump, just vote for any single Republican. I don't get it.

Homer Simpson summed it all up when he voted for Sideshow Bob for mayor.
"I dont agree with his Bart killing policy, but I do agree with his Selma Killing Policy."

Also...

"Well, he framed me for armed robbery, but man do I want that tax break."

Thank you Tami for the links. I cant believe that this is a thing. I cant believe people take these guys seriously.

Over the last few years, it's almost as if we've been able to watch people's brains melting in real time. It's been terrifying.

Remember that whole benghazi thing about what did she know and when did she know it?

"She lied and people died"

Weird that all the Republicans in this thread, or broadly, aren't falling all over that line again in response to the deaths of nearly 200,000 and climbing.

Or Russian bounties on US soldiers.

Because Trumpers will find a way to excuse anything he does.

[Jack Dracula]

last night Hannity showed a video of Biden at a conference on Jan 28th telling people not to panic over covid. And a March interview where he said he would not order a national mask Mandate. Fox news has played this several times today. It seems like that is their answer to the just released audio of Trump downplaying Covid.

Do they explain why Trump chose to actually undermine the efforts of disease experts and go so far as to actively encourage people to not wear masks?

That's the behavior he should be thrown out of office for imo.

It's only criminal when a Democrat does it.

Would the Trump news network do anything like that?

Odd they're finding it hard to express outrage over the equivalent of 50,000 Benghazis or say 6600 of a 9/11s.

Or Russian bounties on US soldiers.

Also that. And I don't feel like that should be forgotten.

Exclusive: Rutgers president Jonathan Holloway will not bow to pressure that the Big Ten needs to rush back onto the field this fall. And as for Donald Trump injecting himself into this story? "Cheap politics," he said.

Some of the responses on Twitter are borderline racist. I'm glad Rutgers has a competent president.

[BeastieRunner]

They're conspiracy theorists. They're also wrong, and crazy. Covid is a 5G coverup. The vaccine is for Bill Gates microchips. Etc etc ad nauseam.

Please ignore the fact we have enhanced licenses with actual tracking chips.

SMDH.

Ummm...doing a low flyover in New York City on 9/11? Seriously? What idiot came up with this idea? Can you imagine the trauma this will set off for survivors and their families?

Planned Flyover: An F-18 jet will be conducting a flyover on the Hudson River towards the Verrazzano Bridge on 9/11 at 3:30 PM. The aircraft will fly at approx 2,500 ft.
