Month: May 2021

 
Documented reminder:

The January 6 Capitol riot was not the first time violence was presented as a political tactic.
 
One week before the last national election, Representative Majorie Taylor Greene explained on video to hesitant right-wingers, that they had to vote, because if they lose the election they will need to join with her in political violence:
The only way you get your freedoms back is it’s earned with the price of blood.

But those parking prices!
Canadian hospitals oughta be ashamed!
Price gouging is what it is; just ask any Conservative in my province that uses it to justify supporting an American-style health model so that hospitals can lower their parking prices.🤨 pic.twitter.com/VhlRj3FuK0

American living in New Zealand. Socialized medicine is so bad here, the other day my kid woke up with a sore throat and had to wait until 2pm to see her GP. Completely unacceptable! #brokensystem

American here! I have post-COVID heart problems and anytime my BP goes below 90/60 (which is at least 2x a week) I'm supposed to fo to the ER! Instead I curl up in bed, drink some Gatorade, and try not to die.
Isn't America just the best? You must be so jealous of us! 🙃

FWIW, Australians might not be aware that freedom has a different meaning in the US. In the US having freedom means "you're free to die by the side of the road due to the lack of basic health care."

Yeah, sure, the socialised health care is great but we can't even go to a Walmart and buy a high powered assualt rifle. Who will protect our freedoms?

can we just reflect on the fact that there are people buying fake vaccination cards so they can travel, but they’re the same people that frown upon undocumented immigrants that get fake documents to work & provide for their families

• I sometimes tell folks that I’ll be happy when the COVID hoax is over so I can stop injecting household cleaning products. Usually I’ll get a courtesy laugh, or at least a sympathy chuckle.
   
  Iron Knee at Political Irony takes on those who militantly refuse mere evidence, a few even getting sick drinking bleach, and takes a brief look at the hoax hoax.
   
• Okay, this is a new one. PZ Myers finds what just might be the stupidest reason ever not to get the jab. RNA will replace DNA which starts with D and so does Door. Besides, RNA starts with R and so does …wait for it… Ra.
   
  Well, that settles it.
   
• There are rules, and there are masks, and there are those who resist both. In MadMikesAmerica Michael John Scott points to major airlines who object, arrest-and-heavy-fines-type object, to occasional passengers who assault attendants.
   
• Conservatives are angry at vaccines. And they are especially angry at the idea that some businesses might want proof their patrons have been vaccinated. There is some contradiction here. Conservatives have always been opposed to government telling businesses how to operate.
   
  But Florida Governor Ron DeSantis is insistent. Businesses operating in Florida must not be allowed to require vaccine passports which is what conservatives are calling the little cards we get along with the jab.
   
  Frances Langum takes a look at how one industry will be reacting. Cruise lines expect business to wayyy drop off if they can’t guarantee passengers that they won’t get infected by vaccine-deniers.
   
  Let’s break this down:
  • Cruises happen on very large marine craft.
  • Boats have rudders.
  • Cruise ships can steer to other states that allow them to keep passengers safe.

   
  SOOooo… can we all do what DeSantis has trouble doing, and think of what might happen to Florida’s cruise industry?

• In Letters from an American, Heather Cox Richardson provides a bit of background on what happened just before President Biden’s address to Congress.
   
• Most of America saw the Biden speech as uplifting, showcasing an America on the mend, achieving new heights. Libertarian Michael A. LaFerrara saw something different. He attacks the President’s presentation for its irrational pessimism. No kidding. That’s what he says.
   
• Ted McLaughlin at jobsanger watches the polls. The public sees President Biden as more moderate than Barack Obama. Ted doesn’t much mind that.
   
• The Borowitz Report uncovers an explosive video revealing a Biden plot to use his powers to improve living conditions.
   
• John Scalzi at Whatever sees President Biden as boring as all hell, and regards it as one of his best secret weapons.
   
• Wisconsin conservative James Wigderson posts one of the cleverest takedowns while clearing a Democrat of wrongdoing. Congressional Representative Ron Kind (D-WI) is wrongly accused.
   
  However, while the GOP is hoping to use this against Kind, there does not seem to be any allegations that Kind did anything wrong. Certainly not on the level of some other politicians.
   
  Followed by For example, it’s not as if Kind was arrested for … then a list of Democratic scandals. Clever. Well played.
   
  Should inspire others to provide similar links about solicitation of minors and sex abuse cover ups.
   
• The Propaganda Professor remembers the old Southern joke about someone living many years before learning that “damn” and “yankee” were two separate words, then reminds us why librulmedia is less a word than a myth.
