Arrest them. Check to see if they have a kid in school. Ban them from the school grounds. I’m way past tired of their garbage.

My dad used to say we have the Constitutionally protected right to be stupid.
Some people insist on their right to infect others.

Show Me… a society rapidly unraveling where people now default to physical violence to justify their opinions and beliefs.

I can’t get over how strange it is to see a radical minority faction dedicated above all, in fact if not in their own words, to maximizing the death rate among themselves. It’s true that they also represent a real threat to the rest of the community. But it’s undeniable that, to the extent they get their way, the consequence is to maximize illness and death amongst themselves.

It’s an astonishing spectacle.

How long before the smirking twit in the photo gets pardoned by the governor?

“for an altercation with a subject taking a video on their phone,”

I know, right? What’s a wingnut cracker to do now that people can video how bent you are?

In Virginia, the Dem governor made masks mandatory in all schools, thus taking the issue away from local idiots and preempting or at least toning down many a would-be fraught school board meeting. In Missouri, the Repub governor utters mealy mouthed statements about vaccination while protecting the right to infect.

What sort of example is being set for children in their formative years when a former President of the U.S. behaved in such a crass, thuggish, and unmannerly way? DJT’s supporters are following this horrible pattern of behavior to the detriment of America’s youth and the entire nation.

Sadly for them, ex-president’s pardons can’t excuse, “needs a ventilator.”
Apparently, a world of hurt is not enough for Drumpfists: they gotta have it for their children, and other people’s children, too.

Truman was thoroughly enmeshed in the corrupt Democratic party machine that ran Kansas City. And while he mostly didn’t enrich himself during his political career, enough of that taint of corruption stuck to him so that he lost Congress during his second term and declined to run for reelection in 1952, handing the election to Eisenhower. His administration had more than its fair share of corruption scandals.
