Rand Paul is an infected anal fissure

“Supported” you mean? :slight_smile:

McConnell to my knowledge has long been pro-vaccination (he had a childhood bout with polio).

I don’t recall his speaking out about Rand Paul and other colleagues’ dopey attitudes regarding immunization.

As I just got through posting elsewhere: once you get people believing conspiracy theories, then any reversal just comes off as if they got to you, too.

That’s why you shouldn’t try to leverage conspiracies for political purposes. You lose control.

The evidence is against you, so you push your followers to ignore evidence. Be careful what you wish for.

The suggestion that Republicans have ever held any views other than the ones they currently espouse is a thoughtcrime.

The beef I have with him and other “leaders” is precisely the feeble attempts at confronting colleagues and right wing media influencers about that dopey attitude.

These three posts in a row? Perfection.

I thought maybe he got bitten by a radioactive turtle.

Too bad Sean Halfwitty couldn’t stick to a decent principal for once in his sorry life. Guess you can’t embrace science even a tiny bit without the MAGAbots forcing you back in line.

I thought he was one.

He’s a Master Of Disguise.

Oh he’s got to be turtly enough for the Turtle Club.

When Hannity told people he supported vaccines, he said “enough people have died.”

But now it would seem he’s re-checked the quotas and realized not enough have croaked quite yet.

Does Paul’s pugnacious (ex?) neighbor have a GoFundMe page?

You betcher sweet ass he is.

Okay fine, I will wager Francis that he is.

Oh, come now. A thoughtcrime would require thinking, would it not?

Well, yes and no.

Crimestop refers to the ability to stop short of any thought that might be heretical or unorthodox before it is even thought, as if by instinct.

Crimestop is not stupidity, or at least not natural stupidity. It is the ability to deliberately retard one’s own intelligence, and, of course, to forget the process of doing it by doublethink.

(Orwell referred to it as “protective stupidity,” which does not entirely conflict with the above.)

Looking at the way the right wing media works nowadays, it is more clear to me that Hannity and others just posted enough “I agree with science too!” platitudes to fool a lot of moderates in other media outlets and Plutocrat Peters into falling for the narrative of “they are finally changing for the better!, let’s listen to them or fund them again”. After they got that result from mainstream media, they go back to the usual denying science or the criticism of it with wild theories.

It is a tactic that explains also how in heaven’s name we get people that follow right wing media to look at the few admissions of vaccines working and think that everything is ok, while ignoring the hurricane of lies that the right wing media is also launching at the same time.

Well we’ve got some good news:

He also needs to deny his content to Facebook, Twitter, etc.

Was he posting content to YouTube?

Huh.

Nevermind
