Can you say "bullshit!" boys and girls? Seriously, we need to start SAYING this out loud in

response to the avalanche of ludicrous lies coming from the folks I'll just call "Qanon anti-science Trump cultists".

This occurred to me when I saw a ridiculous gaggle of them protesting mask mandates behind a sign reading "THE SCIENCE IS IN---MASKS DON'T WORK!"

I know this is easy to say and you may choose to disbelieve me but, had I been present, they'd have heard that word loud and clear again and again until I was carried out. It would not change THEIR minds, but others observing them need to hear it.

"bullshit" unchallenged becomes "BULLSHIT!"

which was the ultimate authority at that time. The same church that dismissed claims of sexual abuse of children for centuries.

Lies are bullshit whenever they are told. Lies harm people. Lies kill people.
