Well he's apprehended. Wouldn't be surprised if he runs for congress or gets an anchor position at Onan. He's officially launched his brand.

Was that child standing next to her mom in the link about Beverly Hills MI school board meeting trying out for a Southwest Airlines Want to Get Away ad?

I've been to dozens of school board meetings in several districts and have never understood why parents with an axe to grind about a decision or proposed decision drag their children with them up to the speakers podium as props.

Everyone hates the news papers and have turned to alt media. Steve Bannons podcast is #5 on iTunes. Add in social media and YouTube channels and you have a toxic and powerful propaganda machine. A few years ago we were all laughing at q in this forum and here we are now with two Q members in congress and next election several more will run. It’s really fucked up.

If you haven’t listened, Rabbit Hole podcast series by the NYTimes does a great job of showing how social media, algorithms and messages to a specific audience has gotten us here.

My empathy for anti-mask and anti-vaxxers is gone and so is my patience with their use of religion to justify their actions. So far we don’t live in a theocracy.

When I read about COVID deniers like radio hosts, social media influencers, politicians (and their spouses) dying from complications of COVID my thought is that’s one more hospital bed open, one less spreader and one less voice denying science.

When I read about teenagers hospitalized because their family are anti-vaccine or children under 12 hospitalized and dying from COVID I get frustrated to the point of anger which is why I avoid protests and school board meetings where I suspect the wacky doodles will show up.

Capitol bomber was upset at immigrants because he believed the BS he saw on FB that immigrants and refugees form Afghanistan would get better health care than him.

I remember years ago... even on the old board.. when I called Republicans racist, they would become enraged.

When I said their little Tea Party revolution had nothing to do with {ahem} "government spending" but, instead, had everything to do with having a scary black man from Kenya in the White House, they would become enraged.

when they elected their racist, bigoted christian sexual predator hero president, they said it wasn't because he appealed to their racist views... they just {ahem} "wanted their country back"..

crazy, I know, but it looks like maybe I was onto something.

Do we need to submit IQ scores with opinions now?

Bob was on to something and all one had to do was look around when the Tea Party got traction when the US had its first black President.

At least around me the Tea Party members who started showing up to shut down ACA meetings were all white, all attended churches with little or no minority members and felt then as they do now that decorum and civility is for others.

Bob was such a prescient genius, being able to see that the Tea Party was a bullshit movement. He is truly a visionary, no one else ever had any inkling that they weren't acting in 100% good faith. It's really quite impressive, and I'm clearly just jealous of his towering intellect.

So the California recall is less than two weeks away now. It's awkwardly constructed. Who the hell designed this?

The ballot contains two separate questions: first, yes or no on the recall, and then, in case a majority votes to recall Newsom, a ballot that does not include the governor’s name but does include 46 others. If less than 50% vote no on the recall he loses. His replacement might be:

Chauncey "Slim" Killens (R) Retired Correctional Officer
Angelyne (No last name, No Party Preference) Entertainer
Nickolas Wildstar (R) Musician/Entrepreneur/Father
Jacqueline McGowan (D) Cannabis Policy Advisor

Or any one of 42 other candidates (including a Kardashian).

Should we make some bets?

Yeah, I bet if the big one actually happens in California, less and less of us will care.
