“getting COVID-19 was “mother nature’s vaccine.”” What’s that phrasing the kids are using these days? “Tell me you know nothing about vaccines without telling me you know nothing about vaccines”? This is literally the exact opposite of what getting a vaccine is. Hell, this doesn’t even rise to the level of “Mother Nature’s Cowpox”. ---

After all, > [@Euphonious\_Polemic](#): > > I"m betting that the “Technology Group” will be disbanded in March, having bilked a bunch of rubes out of their retirement funds. That’s the actual purpose behind this whole scheme. …This is entirely likely to be true. How does Devin think he’ll be making money then? Does he think the TrumpChumps will support him, given that he’ll be so closely associated with yet _another_ Trump business that went down the tubes (albeit while enriching the Grifter-in-Chief)? Sometimes I suspect that boy has no brains atall. ---

I’m sure he figures if TFG’s vanity business tanks by spring, he could always run for his old seat in November, and fuck the sucker the GOP is supporting as his replacement. ---

I’ve read that he’s been redistricted into a bluer district, so running again runs the risk of making him a **LOSER** and thus unhireable by Loser Donald. ---

The results are in from the latest right-wing “election audit” in Wisconsin. It shows that not only was there no evidence of Democratic fraud, but that Loser Donald did better than expected in counties which used Dominion voting machines. > **[Mike Lindell's nightmare: Conservative group finds Trump did better than...](https://www.rawstory.com/dominion-voting-systems-wisconsin/)** > > A conservative legal group found “no evidence of fraud” in Wisconsin during the last presidential election.

It’s right-wing “virtue signaling”, although I’m inclined to think it should be called “Vice signaling” in these cases. What I notice is that she can’t even get four kids to all look in the same direction for the duration of one photo; she thinks she can run a country? ---

The logical person inside me wonder where these families get these weapons. BoBo’s got several thousands of dollars of props there (assuming they are real). And they all look like AR-15 variants, so it’s really a waste of money to buy four of the same (unless you’re planning on going into combat, or are forming your own A-Team. Da duh dunt dah!). Same with the OK guy. The Kentucky bumpkin is even worse - several of those would be illegal to own (ain’t than a M60?). That’s a lot of money to throw around for something you don’t use all that much, I know, people can spend their money wherever they want. Ferraris, yachts, redundant firearms, Still, I don’t think Lauren Gogurt is a millionaire.
