Trump tosses out a conspiracy that Facebook paid hundreds of millions of dollars for "phony lockboxes" that contained "96% Biden votes" during the election. "They were like just dumping ballots, it was a phony deal!"

Quick eveybody look @ Anthony Fauci. He is the bad guy.
******
Lab leak theory? It’s quite possible. Can’t trust the Chinese government to tell us the truth about anything, least of all the nature of their coronavirus research or any accidents involving it.
But you know who could have been in the best possible position to inform the US about it many months ahead of the pandemic? The China-embedded CDC epidemiologist who was fired by the Trump administration in July, 2019, that’s who. I’m referring to Dr. Linda Quick, the only person on the ground in China for the US working in this capacity at all. And she was never replaced — ever. Her position was eliminated as collateral damage during Trump’s trade war with China.
Do you remember Rand Paul or Tom Cotton or any other Trump water carrier protesting Quick’s firing at the time — or at any other time? I sure as hell don’t.
So Trump, knowing that China couldn’t be trusted on anything, apparently seemed to trust them just enough not to have anyone keep tabs on their virus research. And the GOP seemed to have no problems with this, either.
Maybe it’s time to remind the American public about all this, eh? Especially just before the next campaign cycle.

I know things seem tough and the GOP is pulling out all stops to keep power but the bottom line is that
"the good guys" are winning and there is nothing "they" can do to stop it. Joe and company stopped the
pandemic, V.P. K-Bomb is a bad ass, and we should crush it in 2022.
The K-Bomb!

Joe Biden freezes Trump-era oil and gas drilling leases in Alaska’s Arctic wildlife refuge
The Biden administration has reversed a Donald Trump-era drilling programme by suspending oil and gas leases in Alaska's Arctic National Wildlife Refuge.
The order by interior secretary Deb Haaland follows a temporary moratorium on oil and gas lease activities imposed by President Joe Biden on his first day in office.
Mr Biden's January 20 executive order suggested a new environmental review was needed to address possible legal flaws in a drilling programme approved by the Trump administration under a 2017 law enacted by Congress.
After conducting a required review, the US Department of the Interior said it "identified defects in the underlying record of decision supporting the leases, including the lack of analysis of a reasonable range of alternatives" required under the National Environmental Policy Act, a bedrock environmental law.
The remote, 19.6 million-acre refuge is home to polar bears, caribou, snowy owls and other wildlife, including migrating birds from six continents.

This really is huge. Not only will this protect one of the earth's last wilderness ecosystems but that oil and
gas will stay in the ground and not be burned and turned into greenhouse gases in our atmosphere.

If you refused to get one of the C-19 vaccines and you get the disease you should be ...
... denied all medical attention.
Fuck it I'm done with these MAGA/Evangelical assholes.
