> “Secret meeting — no, there was no secret meeting,” she said, according to [Fox 2 Detroit](https://www.fox2detroit.com/news/there-was-no-secret-meeting-meshawn-maddock-claps-back-after-being-named-in-ags-fake-elector-suit). “These were Trump electors, duly elected Trump electors who met and it’s all very public. It was on Facebook. I haven’t taken anything down from that day. We met and we turned in paperwork. It was meant to be put alongside with the Democrat electors.” This is the equivalent of stealing someone’s car, being caught on video stealing the car, bragging about stealing the car, getting arrested while driving the stolen car, then insisting loudly in public that you did nothing wrong because it was your car all along and acting incredulous about accusations of theft. Trump has taught people that all you have to do is bluster and deny facts and reality, and you can get away with anything. Just act like you did nothing wrong, say you did nothing wrong, in fact accuse the victim of committing the crime you were caught doing, and you’ll get away with it. It won’t work for Trump and won’t work for them. They’re all going to pay, and pay dearly, because that’s not how the world works. It’s just the same magical thinking that Sovereign Citizens have, except using different language. ---

It has a kind of SovCit aura about it. “I have the right to do what I want, and your laws have no authority over me.” ---

Amid the fallout from RFK Jr.'s promoting a bogus theory that Jews and Chinese are less prone to harm from Covid-19, one of his key antivax allies has been outed for her own anti-Semitism. Sherri Tenpenny is the D.O. who testified before Ohio legislators that Covid-19 vaccines magnetize people and cause forks, keys and other metal objects to stick to them. “Tenpenny last year promoted the conspiracy theory that the COVID-19 vaccine is a “bioweapon” that doesn’t affect Jewish people and has shared numerous antisemitic claims on social media, including Holocaust denial and praise for _The Protocols of the Elders of Zion_.” > **[RFK Jr. ally and campaign speaker Sherri Tenpenny forwarded antisemitic COVID...](https://www.mediamatters.org/diversity-discrimination/rfk-jr-ally-and-campaign-speaker-sherri-tenpenny-forwarded-antisemitic)** Nice. Tenpenny was one of the cranks featured at RFK Jr.s recent “health policy roundtable”. ---

It sort of blows my mind that these people think sticking a dime or penny to your forehead proves that the covid vaccine makes you “magnetic.” American coinage is not magnetic. Duh! So what is the excuse for that? That crazy tenpenny woman was trying heroically to get a bobby pin to stick to her neck. I think she tried unsuccessfully of course 3 times? During this hilarious performance she was asking how do you explain this? As the bobby pin kept NOT STICKING. I haven’t watched it in a while, so my details may not be exact. I always wished I could have been there to shout: "It’s easy you aren’t magnetic vaccine or no you pea brain loon!!!"I wish someone there had done that. It would have been so sweet. ---

> [@SuntanLotion](#): > > Yeah, maganut was on the bus one day and told me that. He stuck a dime to his forehead as I was exiting the bus. 😄 So, was he vaccinated or not? Anybody who makes the ridiculous argument that COVID vaccine causes someone to become magnetic is usually using that to explain why they’re _not_ vaccinated. So the coin should not have stuck to his forehead. Alternatively, he is vaccinated and there’s nothing he can do about it now. ---

Not sure. He said everyone he knows who was vaccinated has cancer. At least he has an answer to anyone who asks, Hey, you got some spare change? ---

When I was a kid my mom taught me how to get a spoon to stick to the end of my nose. Blow on the bowl, warm it up, push it on, tilt your head up and voila - it sticks! For a couple of minutes. We have photos of kids at family parties doing the spoon trick. This was long, long before Covid. Maybe our polio vaccines made us magnetic. Honestly, that contention is so stupid, it’s hard even to know where to start. ---

In college, I could get a complete set of silverware (fork, spoon, knife) to hang off my nose at the same time. ---

Some people go through their life blissfully unaware of the existence of the world, and then someday, somehow notice some aspect of it (like spoons sticking to noses, or contrails) that’s been there all along, and concludes that since they’ve never noticed it before, it must be new, and since it’s new, therefore sinister. ---
