A Wichita man has been arrested for an alleged threat to kidnap and kill Wichita Mayor Brandon Whipple (D) over frustration with the city’s mask mandate.
The more things change the more they stay the same.Do these actions and threats coming from these people show that they know Trump is losing ? There has to be a reason. Been here before ?
“Whipple in July pushed for a city ordinance requiring face coverings to be worn in most public spaces in an effort to curb the spread of coronavirus."
“Do you realize that in addition to water, there are studies underway to fluoridate salt, flour, fruit juice, soup, sugar, milk, ice cream – ice cream, Mandrake, children’s ice cream!”
Sweden has been excoriated for all the old people who died last spring due to inadequate covid precautions. Yet if the US could even manage the laissez-faire approach of Sweden, the daily death rate in the US right now would be 30-60 a day, not 800. In complete suppression countries like China (0 deaths yesterday, 13 cases in a population of 1.4 billion) or New Zealand (0 deaths, 3 cases yesterday in a population of 3 million), the need for masking isn’t even challenged. At this point, we need to change our national anthem lyrics to:
O’er the land of gun nuts and home of fucking idiots.

My favorite part is that he had to ask for the Mayor’s address. They are just not sending their best.
