I’m glad for the loud pushback, too, but I am still gobsmacked at the number of gullibles we have in the country. These crazy conspiracies were always with us, and I know social media has helped the susceptible find one another, but I can’t believe on some level we have this many people invested in sheer, unadulterated insanity.

It’s well established that 20% (corrected typo) of Americans admit to have a classifiable mental disorder.

I just want to take this time to say that Jen Psaki is a brilliant press secretary!

And Pete Buttigieg has been confirmed as Transportation Secretary!

Most of them are extremist christians and they are primed to believe bullshit on account of the bullshit they believe about their religion.

The effort comes as Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-GA) — a promoter of QAnon fantasies — painted herself as a victim amid a growing onslaught of criticism for incendiary and false remarks on a broad spectrum of issues.

FIFY: there’s no sustainable evidence in support of these imaginings so, calling them ‘theories’ is nothing but flattery.

I can’t believe it either.

It’s as if a giant cloud has engulfed vast numbers of Americans, so that their minds are clouded and they believe the most ridiculous ideas: conspiracies, lie, frauds, and scams.

All I can do is hope that the cloud lifts and that they recover soon.

So he got his promised reward - hopefully he won’t screw this up.

From the link to The Hill article:

When Biden formally introduced Buttigieg as his nominee for Transportation secretary in December, he called him “one of the smartest people you will ever meet.”

He is smart and has the interests of America front and center. What is there to screw up?

I totally agree with Biden. From the first time I saw him speak I was blown away at his intellect. His ability to make things understandable is really something, too. Not all people as smart as he is have the ability to make things clear like he does.

If one doesn’t believe in science, one doesn’t believe in the proper use of the term “theory”. They are, at best, failed hypotheses (tested and debunked), but more honestly, exercises in magical thinking.

But again, don’t expect any changes in terminology from the anti-fact crowd.

Meanwhile, Mayor Pete is now Secretary Pete.

“Stood with Q, not you” I like it. Sentence with under 8 words. Rhymes. Seems adequately dumbed-down to allow 74 million to understand it.

Most of those extreme Christians are steeped in white nationalism and rely on mistranslated bibles (which gave us the taken before the apocalypse among others) and equate goodness with wealth. The prosperity gospel is a big lie and anti-christian and like Rev. Barber said - it amounts to heresy . It is way pass time for Left to retake their moral authority
