Each statement as likely as any of the others.

Most conservative do believe in vaccination. However, we do not desire to force vaccines on others. There’s a heck of a difference there.

Elefink can’t make up his mind, to vax or not to vax, Fox is losing its viewers to death.

Hey TrumpubliQans! I found a nice map someone made, in case you are still having trouble finding out who won the election!

If only.

The slippery slope of truth.

Wow! A cartoon of the Republican elephant in a thought-bubble bath. Question is, are the bubbles purely from air and soap — or are they’re result of “gaseous emanations”?

What Hawgowar said is essentially true … most [small ‘c’] conservatives do believe in vaccines. What he omitted was that the left is currently the conservative cohort being much closer to reality in their reasoning.

Thanks Clay, this cartoon represents the repubs do nothing useful but everything that you put in clouds around mcConnell. They are simply a pathetic bunch of wasted flesh and bone! And must lie and cheat just to exist.

“I’d take a bullet for my country, but I’m too afraid to take a little jab for my neighbor.”

amirite, hagowar?

It’s when the GOP face facts and truth, then pigs will fly!

No vaccine was available in 1918. I would be willing to bet no one would have been screaming “Freedom from the gov’t” if one had been available. Better start thinking rather than reacting – more pandemics in the future with climate change.

If you “Choose” not to get the vaccine, you should also “Choose” to not have ANY benefits of today’s medical community, nor of any insurance to help pay YOUR bills.

How do you eat an elephant?:

The only statement with which I disagree is Fauci as a hero.

Clay scores another direct hit. +1

Clay, I read this, immediately took a nitro pill and tuned into FOX ‘news’ to see what I missed over night. OK, you got me. It’s a comic, and all’s right with the world.

Do they also believe in those with typhoid should not be barred from working in the foodservice industry, partners with STD should not disclose or those suffering from Lassa Fever or Ebola should not be isolated?

Only in a dream world would Republicans change their views wholesale like this cartoon. One could only hope! The bubble I liked the best was “this is a cult”!!

**@Clay Jones……

Whooooweeee?!!You need an award for this one!!!Excellently stated!!!**

The reason at least some reactionaries (the ones I have in mind have no right in the world to claim to be conservatives in the historic use of the term) suddenly started advising people to take the vaccine is because the newest waves and variants were spooking the stock market. All of the other thought balloon comments are true (including Dr. Fauci being a hero, though of course flawed like even the best people). None of them will ever be publicly admitted to by the Godawful Obsolete Party unless denying them suddenly spooks the stock market.

Isn’t that another way of saying you reserve the right to infect others?

Arizona shocker: Audit liaison threatens to quit over Cyber Ninjas’ secrecy and forged results

Ken Bennett, the Arizona state Senate’s liaison to its review of 2020’s presidential election ballots threatened to resign from that post live on conservative talk radio on Monday, saying the Senate’s pro-Trump contractors had been hiding their results from him for months and could even be manipulating audit data.

“I’m truly alarmed by this,” said KFYI host James Harris, in the segment that followed Bennett’s interview. “In the [show’s] first segment, you actually had Ken Bennett step down because, in good conscience, he can’t continue with this if he’s been shut out and he’s thinking that these numbers are being used improperly. And we know that that might be the case because we had President Trump spouting wrong numbers on the state last Saturday.”

“All of a sudden, this is getting convoluted,” Harris said. “And instead of us having full disclosure, [and] transparency, it sounds like we are getting a grift!”

“The fact that they’re posing questions, or asking questions, or throwing out things about all these other things tells me they know the counts are pretty close,” he said. “They don’t have any proof that there’s any massive change in the numbers.”

2020 boogaloo killings

LocationOakland, California, U.S

Ben Lomond, California, U.S.

DateOakland shooting: May 29, 2020

Santa Cruz County shootout: June 6, 2020

Attack typeShooting, bombing, shootout

WeaponsRifle, improvised explosive devices

Deaths2

Injured4 (including one of the suspects)

MotiveRight-wing extremism

AccusedSteven Carrillo and Robert Justus

In late May and early June 2020, two ambush-style attacks occurred against security personnel and law enforcement officers in California. The attacks left two dead and injured three others.

The attacks began on May 29, when a drive-by shooting occurred in front of a federal courthouse in Oakland, resulting in the death of a security officer contracted with the Federal Protective Service. Over a week later on June 6, Santa Cruz County sheriff’s deputies were shot at and also attacked with improvised explosive devices; one of them died as a result.

U.S. Air Force sergeant Steven Carrillo was arrested soon after the second attack. A second suspect, Robert Justus, surrendered to authorities five days later. The FBI indicated that Carrillo was associated with the boogaloo movement, a loosely organized American far-right anti-government extremist movement whose participants say they are preparing for a second civil war.123 Carrillo used the George Floyd protests as a cover to attack police officers, according to the FBI.4 A white van owned by Carrillo contained a ballistic vest with a patch bearing boogaloo symbolism. Carrillo is alleged to have written “boog” and the phrase “I became unreasonable” (a popular meme among boogaloo groups) in his own blood on the hood of a vehicle he hijacked.5 According to federal authorities, the suspects were motivated by the boogaloo movement’s ideology, and allegedly intended to spread its extremist views and start a civil war.

If only telling the truth and supporting what’s better for the masses came as easy as lying and shilling.

It is mandatory for a Republican to also be a hypocrite. You simply cannot square it all without hypocrisy.
