That is different, though. People made sick from drinking raw milk aren’t generally contagious. Depending on your reasoning, it’s not inconsistent to be in favor of legal raw milk and also in favor of mandatory vaccination. ---

Not sure where this goes, but Janice McGeachin and Trump are both stupid motherfuckers, so it goes here. McGeachin is the Lt. Gov of ID. Every time the guv, Little, leaves the state, she does something stupid as shit and then Little returns to undo all her stupid shit. It’s gotten so bad, it appears Little is sneaking out of the state. Her stupid has raised her status so much that Trump is now endorsing her in her run for governor. I fear this really will be all it will take for the dumbshits in ID to vote her in. Bundy is probably pissed he didn’t get that endorsement. > **[Trump endorses GOP rival of Idaho incumbent governor](https://www.spokesman.com/stories/2021/nov/10/trump-endorses-gop-rival-of-idaho-incumbent-govern/)** > > BOISE — Former President Donald Trump has endorsed Republican Lt.
