House Intelligence Cmte. chair: “There are election deniers on both sides of the aisle.”

There really aren’t. Election denialism is a problem, but it’s not a bipartisan problem.

Labels such as
doomer and fear-monger
tell you remarkably little
about the beliefs of those
labeled as such
though they do provide
an opportunity
to learn a great deal
about the beliefs of those
bestowing those labels.

Just to be clear, when the New York Times reported that the FBI saw “no link between Trump and Russia” — a week before the 2016 election — the FBI agent who was just arrested over ties to Russian oligarch Oleg Deripaska was heading up the investigation.

Just an absolute scandal.

A once-a-year #COVID19 shot in fall? How's that going to work when we know immunity protection fades in 4-6 months against a virus that's caused three surges in the past year and is mutating so rapidly that three different variants have become predominant since September? I sure hope the FDA is right, but fall is a long way off from today.

@therobburgessshow Their whole thing is tearing down everything they can find until there's nothing but scorched earth and salt left.

Checked to make sure bird account deleted. It is not! Now I have to wait another 6 weeks. Good one, me. And Elon.

Before deactivating, I saw multiple posts of people stupidly faking seizures. Of course, caused by the vaccine.

Utterly embarrassed for them, but mostly appalled for mocking those who truly do suffer from seizures. Deplorable and unforgivable. 😡

@Teri_Kanefield I think what stood out to a lot of us is that McGonigal worked in the NY FBI field office in 2016...the office that leaked damaging info about Hillary Clinton, which was very much in Trump's and Russia's interest. How much of this case is based on a referral from IG Horowitz?

M&Ms ditched their spokescandy after Tucker Carlson didn’t find them sexy anymore

Republican cancel culture strikes again

And I think it’s time to stop talking about Hunter Biden‘s laptop and start talking about what’s on Tucker Carlson’s laptop. This ain’t normal…

You may remember the NY FBI Field Office as the one that was reportedly full of insane fascists and leaking stories about Hillary Clinton to Rudy Giuliani during the 2016 election https://abcnews.go.com/US/former-fbi-official-charles-mcgonigal-arrested-ties-russian/story?id=96609658

Tucker Carlson Rips Menthol Cigarette Bans, Says Nicotine 'Frees Your Mind'

"Whey do they hate nicotine?" he continued. "Because nicotine frees your mind. And THC makes you compliant and passive, that's why. They hate it! It's a real threat to them."

how much money is the GOP getting to promote tobacco now?

Republican Says Smoking of Cigars Inside the Capitol Is 'About Freedom'

@nberlat America pretends to be individualistic, but it's something much more stupid.

@nberlat terminal individualism

which is the american way and why we suck.

all devoted to this idea that there is no public health; it's all just individual decisions and so you can single handedly protect yourself from harm through being smarter and better than everyone else.

it's really disheartening.

there are so many of these clowns who have devoted their lives to learning completely wrong talking points about vaccines. like, the more they study, the less they know.
