The problem is the 80% or so without any courage or critical thinking faculties. People have become so weak and conformist, the current debacle would have been impossible even 20 years ago.
I don’t even think it’s even that. The millennial generation and everything after have more than their fair share of morons, that coupled with the boomers becoming afraid of their own mortality locked in the epic shitshow we are now seeing.
It’s only the progressive boomers who are afraid of everything. The rest of us live our lives and realize that none of us are immortal. I think it all boils down to unthinking people being terrified to live their lives, no matter their age.
Amen and thanks for saying that FedUpDeb. There's huge numbers of us "boomers" that haven't played along with *any* of this crap, while watching our children and grandchildren march in lockstep with the entire narrative.
It’s just what the WEF planners are thinking will keep their subjects owning nothing but being happy. Drugs and video games. I mean, gaming and recreational drugs are already fairly popular now. And there are millions who would gladly accede to such a proposal. Shame.
You're right. Yuval Noah Harari made a similar comment when asked what they will do with people who lose their jobs to AI. He mentioned drugs and video games as a solution.
Yeah, that’s him. I have trouble remembering that eff-wad’s name. But he’s a major thinker and planner behind all the destructive events we’ve endured of late. An anti-human. Subject to the very wine press of the wrath of God, barring his repentance.
You all play video games? I do, and I have fun with them. But I cannot disagree that many are designed to suck the player in and never let them go, turn them into avatars. I don't play online with others, haven't in several years, but it is possible to have non-weird social relationships in games. I spent a lot of time playing with bankers, prison guards, firefighters, orthodontists, aluminum salesmen, etc. mostly near my age, and I'm 53. People get weird about their digital lives, mostly younger than my age, though, and it's part of why I only play offline anymore. I never had much interest in drugs.
Watching the thousands cheering for the Queen this weekend in London and the millions around the country celebrating her platinum jubilee, I couldn’t help but wonder if the sheeple had completely forgotten the past two years as if it was just a bad dream, and it would all go away.
Flooding the country with opiates didn’t help either. Some people were able to start their own businesses doing various things and make it work over the last 15 years though. It wasn’t just the working class, they shipped a lot of R&D to China too.
US continues to break its own manufacturing output records annually. The only jobs that left the US were the ones that were no longer economically viable. Now I will concede, government regulatory and tax policies artificially raised some of those costs...
I work in an automotive plastics factory and I second what you say. Yes, we make some of the plastic components for your car, BUT, all of the American-made machines that we use are aging and the companies that made them no longer exist (Van Dorn, Newbury). They are being replaced by Japanese machines. All of our robots are also Japanese. And don't even get me started on the chip fiasco!
Consumer goods are low value (relatively speaking) and can't bear the costs of highly compensated US factory workers + US regulatory burdens & taxes...
And the end-user quality of the items produced, is it the same?
You see, we have the same problem. Business measured in profits, as return if investment - oh it just goes up for the 000.1%. Measured as salaries for the store workers in the outlets, it goes down as their money continue to become worth less.
And the quality of product is so rubbish, craftsmen and professionals alike are focusing on buying old machines and tools from back when they were made by white people in Europe, rather than chinamen in the national-socialist dictatorship where the free market capitalists devoid of any social conscience or moral, moved production. (That is the main problem with capitalism by the way: it has no moral at all, which is why so many religions warn against greed - greed, profit before everything else, destroys socities just as much as incompetent tyranny and state grift does.)
I have an axe, the head and handle of which is over a century old. It works perfectly, good as new. I also have a modern chinky-dink made one, woth a fiberglass handle. It's a piece of shit. The metal is neither iron or steel, but "chinese alloy", meaning scrap metal sludge molded to the shape of an axehead. The shape of the handle is xeroxed from the general shape of a wooden axehandle - only, fiberglass and wood does not behave the same, so cannot have the same exact shape. I can go on all day listing things that were better made when business was also nationalist and focused on earning money through sale of quality goods, rather than making profits for the owners by the virtual printing of more money through market manipulation - I'm old enough to have seen the change as an adult, and let me ask you this: the value of money is tied to goods and resources owned, and goods and services produced and exchanged in a nominally free market, right? And printing more money just decreases the value of it, right? So what happens if I create $1 000 000 without the corresponding increase in goods, services or resources just by talking up the value of my shares?
That is something no economist wants to look at, becasue if the notion that big business drives inflation via currency and stock (and other virtual, as in non-real, non-material) was to get traction... oh dear. Oy vey too for that matter. Bismillahi as well, actually and also chyort voz'mye.
Capitalism is not your friend any more than marxism is.
You are conflating government interventionism in free markets with capitalism. Only governments can expand the money supply, and doing so robs from the CEO as well as the janitor. Profits are destroyed by inflation, not enhanced except in the very short term as market prices rise more quickly than replacement costs for inventory and capital goods. But those gains evaporate fast as price increases for labor & materials start hitting the COGS side.
Consumers ultimately direct where and how capital is deployed. So you direct your purchases to where you think you get the best quality and so long as everyone else is free to do the same, everybody wins...
Manufacturing labor is at record lows vs. output - that's economic heaven. Once upon a time, 98% of Americans were involved in agriculture, most on a subsistence basis. Today <2% feed the US and a good chunk of the rest of the world. Americans work fewer hours to obtain the goods and service they went than did people 50, 100 or 150 years ago.
All wages are debased by inflation, from the janitor to the CEO...
Lots of masks at COSTCO today. Young people in N95s. My husband says, "Thanks for the heads up". They squinch up their brows... whu? "You know, that you're insane. Much appreciated!"
Exactly. Went to a row of garden shops today. The 6 feet and masks places I just skipped. The masks optional or obviously no masks needed places I was happy to check out.
I'm in NW Washington state. The vast majority of people are still masking up, many outdoors in open areas. Mass formation psychosis has the devil's grip up here.
Wow. Here in Arizona. mask prevalence is about 5-10% (and I make a pastime of counting masked vs nonmasked individuals whenever I go out, so it's a pretty good estimate).
I left California more than 20 years ago, when I could see the way things were heading. I'd only moved there eight years before that... it had been a long-time dream to live there, and I did indeed have some wonderful times and meet some incredible people. In only eight years, though, the dream was over.
I am just glad that I got to experience the "golden state" while it still had some lustre remaining. It's gone now, truly. It's a shame, because other than the horrible political situation over there, it is really beautiful. With their politics being as they are, though, I don't even want to visit, let alone live there.
Signs on businesses demanding people mask before entering. Those all came down about a year ago here, and now the large majority of people don't wear one. (Arizona, fwiw).
I always wonder if they are still ill informed or just scared, (or both). Even "awake" people I know still think they must help...a little at least. I hate masks and have to wear all day at work (in healthcare) so any chance I get- it's off!
Remember when we used to live in the world, go to stores, events, crowded places and didn't ever think "Will I contract an infection?" (Or go to work in a medical clinic). Now people are scared all the time. I was an an outdoor event today and many people masked. Its horrible -the psychological effect this has had, esp with young people (I live near a University and lots of young people in masks walking down the street themselves....)
My personal work is letting go of what other people do and not letting it aggravate me.
I think the vast majority of healthcare workers in my area are allowed to go maskless now. It is so bad for your health to wear one. I hope you are changing the mask out often so you are not rebreathing bacteria. It is a travesty what they are doing to you and I hope it ends soon.
The people wearing them free will? They are nuts. Sometimes fear caused, maybe the pandemic drove them to insanity, medications, watching the news? I used to care why, but they are adults and if they want to flaunt their kookoo - fine, but expect people to comment.
I never say anything to adults. I stare at them with a blank face like i'm practicing I have pocket aces playing poker. Kids, I try to talk sweetly and kiddingly hoping to cajole the mask off.
Utah is one of the good places to be I think. California is one of the strictest and our county requires masks in healthcare offices. I wonder if it will ever go away. Even if they do, they will probably make the unvaxxed still wear one.
Some businesses/events are STILL requiring vaccination cards. It's insane. SO anti-science.
I do NOT know how y'all hack living there. I went to college there, worked for a cpl years and then left. Not b/c politics, but work. It is truly shocking what is going on in CA and then the recall not going thru? What? We get a LOT of CA ppl here. We just had a huge triathlon race here. CA and foreigners masked up al over town except during race. The most fit humans probably on earth - fearfully masked. Pathetic.
"Remember when we used to live in the world, go to stores, events, crowded places and didn't ever think "Will I contract an infection?""
I have still never asked myself that. The only thing that has scared me in this whole debacle has been the actions of various governments and the ease with which many people accept the chains government places on them. I still have trouble really "getting" that some people really bought this whole thing. My first reaction when I see someone masked (which is probably 5-10% of people now) is that they aren't aware they are not required to use them. It just doesn't compute that they willingly don their "Slave in Training" regalia.
Silva, the masked know they are not required to wear them. If an adult is wearing them now, most - vastly most - are wearing them because they are broken and mentally ill. I am not saying that to be mean to maskers. My husband thinks a bit of shaming will snap them out of it - like wake up and stop the nonsense! But they never do. They treat the mask like it will protect them from everything and don't want to think about it because the prospect of it not doing that is too much to take. They are brittle. Just where the people running this scam want them. IMO of course.
I often wonder these days why there are two camps (afraid and deluded v awake and fighting - as I see it of course!) - like the constituents of each camp, how they got there, remain there and how do some switch camps. I know very few in the awake camp. The common thread in my life so far is most are Christians. 2 are not. I live in a weird place demographically so I think that might not be the thing. If you have thoughts on this I'd appreciate them. It is mostly why I write here. I am fairly alone in the awake camp.
Raptor, I feel the same way. In my blue (university) town, I have not met ONE other awake person. I often think that's because: 1) there aren't many around; 2) those who are comprehend that they're in a very small minority are reluctant to "come out" because of the ridicule and strife they've already encountered... like I did a year ago when I came out against getting vaccinated and was met by puzzlement, disbelief, cajoling, and ultimately social rejection.... my own bestie sister would not see me, except from several yards away (feels really hurtful) for all of 2021 and has allowed me in her presence a couple of times since "when the [Covid] numbers are low." And now with emerging possibility of "shedding" from vxxd folks (which she'd never ever consider as possible), where does that leave us?
One? I commend you for holding your ground and keeping your sanity. Our family members of the same age group (meaning all of the sisters and brothers from my family and husband's family are unvaccinted minus one . The elders and kids all got jabbed, minus one who got covid was given remdesevir and died shortly after. But few have cut each other off for their decisions. I hear this happening a lot and I think it is among the saddest thing happening. And not a coincidence. A pretty neat trick to separate families.
The separation of loved ones, family and friends, seems to be one of the principal desired results of the last two years' policies. Disagreement and strife at the level of social circle has evil, well-planned consequences. I only hope more people open their eyes and identify where the grief is coming from-- and that it doesn't get worse (the evildoing from "on high" and the reaction to it).
I agree- how can people be so hoodwinked? Common sense?? Critical thinking? Strange how some have it and some don't.
People in my area still mask a lot-esp college students. I have worked in healthcare during this whole time and going to stores, etc, not really thinking about the risk. If I get it, I get it. But I haven't. And I have what I need in my back pocket.
But people are still so worried about getting "the infection". I want to say- remember how for the last 50 years you just lived your lives without freaking out about getting sick. The fear campaign on this was really effective.
I'm glad there is so many of us AWAKE people out there!
Let me e know how that goes. I think in some ways it’s a little dangerous. What others do can have a direct impact on us. The goal of not getting aggravated is probably the key. This is a yoga thing: contentment not complacency. Something I struggle with.
Me too. He has an innocent face so he gets away with almost anything. Including calling them essentially dumb and crazy. He says it with a jolly voice.
You should ask them to join you at back at the meat area and ask them what cut of beef or pork they prefer and how they prepare it…or maybe they are more into rack of lamb! 😉😜
Haha. one guy didn't get what hubs was saying so hubs pointed at his own face where a mask would be. The guy got pissed. Hubs just smiled and told him that if more oxygen could get to his brain he wouldn't have had to ask. That is when I decided to go hunt down some beef.
I'm pretty sure they were there for the canister of Bonkers.
I like your Hubs! No they don’t get it because they have brain fog, and their neural pathways aren’t firing like they used to! They were not informed that brain fog was one of the many possible side effects of the Jabs, by their healthcare provider, or the ‘resident injector’ person at the Walgreens pharmacy!
And it’s just not the Jabbed & boosted old folks, it’s the younguns’ too!
I've been trying to ignore them, but somehow I can't get a job at a CMS hospital unless I take their experimental mRNA injection that has no long term test results of 10 years, and the short term 2 years looks really bad.
No. I do have a job in Utah thought and they are kind of like Florida. The military didn't even get exemptions. They are walking all over our rights. My hubby found another job because they have a DOD contract and said they would fire him if he didn't get it. Ditto my brother, he is a pilot.
We've all been subjected to a decades long psychological operation to convince us not to be mean. Telling the truth (for example, boys cannot become girls no matter what they do) may cause pain to some, but reality is reality. Compassion does not require us to pretend black is white or up is down. IMO, in most cases, the truth is the more compassionate path.
Sorry, Zuby, you get the June 3 Booby Prize for the Internet. Which is crazy since you answered your own question. We can't ignore them because they are committed activists that NEVER cease their efforts to infiltrate, gaslight, corrupt, and destroy the good. With apologies to Pericles, "You may not be interested in the insane, but the insane are interested in you."
I still love Zuby but you do have a point. If you want an example, just research the SF DA and his family (of origin and the ones who raised him). Talk about committed. Some of them committed (incarcerated) and others the way you meant (leftist of various stripes and a serial seeker of policy making positions). While the rest of the world is trying to do good work, live a life, etc. These people want to take over the world.
Because people lack courage and critical thinking skills. Loud screaming nitwits scare people. We have too many people who lack a moral foundation. Worshiping at the alter of consumerism and seeking approval on social media instead of from Jesus Christ has created a listless and spineless society, easily bullied by the 1%.
Because no one, and I mean no one, can resist picking at a scab or poking that little wiggly mound in the backyard where the soldier ants are strategizing...
I'd say I usually see around 5% or less with face diapers here in the blue-hattest county in mid Missouri on most days, from time to time it's as high as 40-50%
The problem is the 80% or so without any courage or critical thinking faculties. People have become so weak and conformist, the current debacle would have been impossible even 20 years ago.
“Drugs and video games” will keep them in that state.
I don’t even think it’s even that. The millennial generation and everything after have more than their fair share of morons, that coupled with the boomers becoming afraid of their own mortality locked in the epic shitshow we are now seeing.
It’s only the progressive boomers who are afraid of everything. The rest of us live our lives and realize that none of us are immortal. I think it all boils down to unthinking people being terrified to live their lives, no matter their age.
Amen and thanks for saying that FedUpDeb. There's huge numbers of us "boomers" that haven't played along with *any* of this crap, while watching our children and grandchildren march in lockstep with the entire narrative.
I'm 69, 100% boomer. Not afraid. Not vaxxed. It's not our fault anymore than it's yours.
Mindless division based on age, weight, color, sex. Is what the devil desires.
How about we lock elbows and resist the bastards together?
I'm a boomer, 72, unvxxd, and unafraid -- except of the NWO and what its psycho pushers are trying to make the future of us all. Sick times.
Deal! Let’s lock elbows and resist the bastards!
I am 53, not vaxxed and happy to make friends with a boomer like you!!!
Amen BigE!!!
It’s just what the WEF planners are thinking will keep their subjects owning nothing but being happy. Drugs and video games. I mean, gaming and recreational drugs are already fairly popular now. And there are millions who would gladly accede to such a proposal. Shame.
You're right. Yuval Noah Harari made a similar comment when asked what they will do with people who lose their jobs to AI. He mentioned drugs and video games as a solution.
Yeah, that’s him. I have trouble remembering that eff-wad’s name. But he’s a major thinker and planner behind all the destructive events we’ve endured of late. An anti-human. Subject to the very wine press of the wrath of God, barring his repentance.
I guess that makes him a WEF-wad, now I think about it.
But if there’s hope for me, there’s hope for him.
You all play video games? I do, and I have fun with them. But I cannot disagree that many are designed to suck the player in and never let them go, turn them into avatars. I don't play online with others, haven't in several years, but it is possible to have non-weird social relationships in games. I spent a lot of time playing with bankers, prison guards, firefighters, orthodontists, aluminum salesmen, etc. mostly near my age, and I'm 53. People get weird about their digital lives, mostly younger than my age, though, and it's part of why I only play offline anymore. I never had much interest in drugs.
You must be a Gen X!
When I watch the grandkids on their devices, I think you might be correct
Watching the thousands cheering for the Queen this weekend in London and the millions around the country celebrating her platinum jubilee, I couldn’t help but wonder if the sheeple had completely forgotten the past two years as if it was just a bad dream, and it would all go away.
I had this feeling that it was all a shiny distraction, to keep people from waking up.
Cromwell had the right idea. American affection for British royalty continues to amuse and astound me. And I am English by heritage.
Yes, it is amusing. Childish in many ways.
I fully understand the reverence of the older generation who lived through the war.
The Queen was an important national figurehead in those days.
Nowadays, they are just too out of touch to be relevant.
Especially that pompous fool Charles.
I still like William and Kate though.
All of the others can just sod off.
Exporting industry to China we also gutted the hard nosed, common sense, working class that was the backbone of America.
Flooding the country with opiates didn’t help either. Some people were able to start their own businesses doing various things and make it work over the last 15 years though. It wasn’t just the working class, they shipped a lot of R&D to China too.
US continues to break its own manufacturing output records annually. The only jobs that left the US were the ones that were no longer economically viable. Now I will concede, government regulatory and tax policies artificially raised some of those costs...
Then why is almost EVERYTHING in the stores made overseas? Clothing, appliances, you name it.
I work in an automotive plastics factory and I second what you say. Yes, we make some of the plastic components for your car, BUT, all of the American-made machines that we use are aging and the companies that made them no longer exist (Van Dorn, Newbury). They are being replaced by Japanese machines. All of our robots are also Japanese. And don't even get me started on the chip fiasco!
Take heart; Intel is spending $20B on chip capacity in Columbus, OH
🎯???
Consumer goods are low value (relatively speaking) and can't bear the costs of highly compensated US factory workers + US regulatory burdens & taxes...
Yes, I’m aware that this is why USA businesses moved overseas. The financial incentives need to be reversed.
Ricardo's concept of comparative advantage isn't subject to reversing...
And the end-user quality of the items produced, is it the same?
You see, we have the same problem. Business measured in profits, as return if investment - oh it just goes up for the 000.1%. Measured as salaries for the store workers in the outlets, it goes down as their money continue to become worth less.

The weak follow the strong. So it’s time to stand up and be strong.
Lots of masks at COSTCO today. Young people in N95s. My husband says, "Thanks for the heads up". They squinch up their brows... whu? "You know, that you're insane. Much appreciated!"
I like it. I hate it. I head for the meat.
It gives you an immediate way to distinguish who you want to stay (much more than) 6 feet away from.
Exactly. Went to a row of garden shops today. The 6 feet and masks places I just skipped. The masks optional or obviously no masks needed places I was happy to check out.
If I may ask, where do you live where you still see those?
I'm in NW Washington state. The vast majority of people are still masking up, many outdoors in open areas. Mass formation psychosis has the devil's grip up here.
Wow. Here in Arizona. mask prevalence is about 5-10% (and I make a pastime of counting masked vs nonmasked individuals whenever I go out, so it's a pretty good estimate).
I left California more than 20 years ago, when I could see the way things were heading.

Utah.
Utah is one of the good places to be I think. California is one of the strictest and our county requires masks in healthcare offices. I wonder if it will ever go away. Even if they do, they will probably make the unvaxxed still wear one.

The elders and kids all got jabbed, minus one who got covid was given remdesevir and died shortly after. But few have cut each other off for their decisions. I hear this happening a lot and I think it is among the saddest thing happening. And not a coincidence. A pretty neat trick to separate families.
The separation of loved ones, family and friends, seems to be one of the principal desired results of the last two years' policies. Disagreement and strife at the level of social circle has evil, well-planned consequences. I only hope more people open their eyes and identify where the grief is coming from-- and that it doesn't get worse (the evildoing from "on high" and the reaction to it).
I agree- how can people be so hoodwinked? Common sense?? Critical thinking? Strange how some have it and some don't.
People in my area still mask a lot-esp college students. I have worked in healthcare during this whole time and going to stores, etc, not really thinking about the risk. If I get it, I get it. But I haven't. And I have what I need in my back pocket.
But people are still so worried about getting "the infection". I want to say- remember how for the last 50 years you just lived your lives without freaking out about getting sick. The fear campaign on this was really effective.
I'm glad there is so many of us AWAKE people out there!
Let me e know how that goes. I think in some ways it’s a little dangerous. What others do can have a direct impact on us. The goal of not getting aggravated is probably the key. This is a yoga thing: contentment not complacency. Something I struggle with.
May I quote you, heartfeltedly [is that a word?}: "letting go of what other people do and not letting it aggravate me.
(I am trying!)"
The only thing I'm afraid of is the government trying to kill us.
I like your husband.
Me too. He has an innocent face so he gets away with almost anything. Including calling them essentially dumb and crazy. He says it with a jolly voice.
Sounds like comedy gold! What a blessing, to carry such a demeanor.
You should ask them to join you at back at the meat area and ask them what cut of beef or pork they prefer and how they prepare it…or maybe they are more into rack of lamb! 😉😜
Haha. one guy didn't get what hubs was saying so hubs pointed at his own face where a mask would be. The guy got pissed. Hubs just smiled and told him that if more oxygen could get to his brain he wouldn't have had to ask. That is when I decided to go hunt down some beef.
I'm pretty sure they were there for the canister of Bonkers.
I like your Hubs! No they don’t get it because they have brain fog, and their neural pathways aren’t firing like they used to! They were not informed that brain fog was one of the many possible side effects of the Jabs, by their healthcare provider, or the ‘resident injector’ person at the Walgreens pharmacy!
And it’s just not the Jabbed & boosted old folks, it’s the younguns’ too!
I tell them their mask offends me. You should see the confused/terrified look on those half facers.
"half-facers"! Love it!
Half-face f**k faces...:)
I might try that. Gave me a laugh. There sone very funny people on this substack. I’m thinking especially last evening.
I do see young people masked. My son is prob one of them. 🤦🏻♀️
Mine too. I am so sorry for them all. And for you, in empathy!
😳😩
😂🤣😂🤣😂🤣 OMG! I wish I had been there with you guys!
The 1% (or their minions) are all discussing their insane ideas in the Bilderberg meeting right now.

Yuppers. Beat me to the punch—but the target was wide open.
That 1%—or likely much fewer?—are calling civilization-killing shots.
Ignore them. Huh. That’s what they want you to do.
Yes, ignoring is dangerous to our world, not just the country we reside in. I don't want the Babylonians to think "All is well."

Love Zuby, dude is wicked smart and highly conscientious.
An0maly is right there with him.
Like him too.
Agree!
Along the same lines, "The Left has destroyed the idea of Respect for others and has replaced it with the notion that others HAVE to respect ME!"
Forgot to note where I found this quote...
Remember the good ole days when respect was earned?
Yeah, and I'm so old I can remember when 'duty' was assumed as the fundamental concept in civics.
Wasn't that around the same time that grades, trophies, promotions, etc. were earned?
I've been trying to ignore them, but somehow I can't get a job at a CMS hospital unless I take their experimental mRNA injection that has no long term test results of 10 years, and the short term 2 years looks really bad.
No exemptions?
No. I do have a job in Utah thought and they are kind of like Florida. The military didn't even get exemptions. They are walking all over our rights. My hubby found another job because they have a DOD contract and said they would fire him if he didn't get it. Ditto my brother, he is a pilot.
We've all been subjected to a decades long psychological operation to convince us not to be mean. Telling the truth (for example, boys cannot become girls no matter what they do) may cause pain to some, but reality is reality. Compassion does not require us to pretend black is white or up is down. IMO, in most cases, the truth is the more compassionate path.
I agree.
Truth and Love walk together... cannot have one without the other
The 1% have the power and the money. And they also have the media which turns 1% into 75%. It's all pretend, but we're up against more than just "1%."
Sorry, Zuby, you get the June 3 Booby Prize for the Internet. Which is crazy since you answered your own question. We can't ignore them because they are committed activists that NEVER cease their efforts to infiltrate, gaslight, corrupt, and destroy the good. With apologies to Pericles, "You may not be interested in the insane, but the insane are interested in you."
I still love Zuby but you do have a point. If you want an example, just research the SF DA and his family (of origin and the ones who raised him). Talk about committed. Some of them committed (incarcerated) and others the way you meant (leftist of various stripes and a serial seeker of policy making positions). While the rest of the world is trying to do good work, live a life, etc. These people want to take over the world.
But equity!!!
😂🤣😂🤣😂🤣😂🤣😂🤣😂🤣😂🤣😂🤣😂🤣😂🤣🤣😂🤣😂😂🤣😂🤣🙏
How about we arrest and exile them too
Because they have bombs and heavily armed police?
and their US figurehead announced early on in his regime that the public would need f15s and missiles to succeed in a revolt
Stupid is as stupid does…
Ive been ignoring them for the past 2 plus years
Because people lack courage and critical thinking skills. Loud screaming nitwits scare people. We have too many people who lack a moral foundation. Worshiping at the alter of consumerism and seeking approval on social media instead of from Jesus Christ has created a listless and spineless society, easily bullied by the 1%.
Because no one, and I mean no one, can resist picking at a scab or poking that little wiggly mound in the backyard where the soldier ants are strategizing...
So many still masking! maybe Biden/Dems will win a Stockholm syndrome second term ;)
Not in my neck of the woods.
I'd say I usually see around 5% or less with face diapers here in the blue-hattest county in mid Missouri on most days, from time to time it's as high as 40-50%
Outside and in a car alone no lesx
Yippee
"win," aka pay enough to the voting machine companies to cheat their way in again
