2. Somebody Threw A Spanner

They threw it in a hole.

3. Two men say they're Jesus...

One of them must be wrong.

It would be pretty easy to modify the lyrics for our Republican disease!

4. We'll never know?

That’s what pakman says but I think someone will track it using Facebook, li, etc.to determine political affiliation.

5. Just read on our Nextdoor

A woman posted that a friend asked if she could use her vaccine card so she could copy it and put her own name in her copy. The woman said no. She said that was OK, she had someone else she could ask.

Don't know if this is the latest RW craziness online or the republican criminal mind at work.

10. I'm surprised His Orangeness hasn't gotten into that scam yet

The guy takes to rackets like fish to water, as you know.

6. Interesting. By the 2024 RNC Convention

The GOP will be laying out a new conspiracy theory about how the Democrats -- under Biden -- have let loose a super-virulent strain of the plague in Red states to kill Republicans.

And the super-stupid Always-Trumpers will believe it without question.

9. Could we see a Darwinian republiQan Extinction Event?

[peppertree]

11. They do love that term 'survival of the fittest' - and assuming it applies to them

Which is funny, because over the million of years being obese and stubborn has always been the surest road to extinction.

12. Absolutely not. You have to understand the geography of the American economy

America's Apartheid is monetary and political and mass-media based, but the human commerce that Coronavirus travels along has zero problem crossing those economic lines. As gratifying as it might feel to think there's some sort of divine retribution visited upon those who spread the pandemic, the reality is that the virus moves spot to spot until it finds a hearth to nest in and spread from. And the most accommodating environment continues to be pockets of seniors and of urban institutionalized poverty, which are largely communities of color. You can't fart in an elevator and hope the stink only wafts toward the people you dislike.

The only way to protect the country is to protect the whole country and fight the Republican ignorance head on. We're all in this canoe together.
