trump republicans by biden, harris or any other dem in media, because 1500 radio stations, licensed to operate in the public interest, reaching 50 mil/week have been hearing covid denial since it started

now they're used to push dem govs to reopen early and making fun of mask wearing

In my extended family I have four members, that I know of, who believe a lot of the Q-anon crap. A couple of them are college educated. I just shake my head at what the hell happened to them. ???

but i do enter my son's room with a can of lysol and spray all over when i want to chat with him. he works in a grocery.

maybe a can of lysol instead? it won't hurt them and you will be protecting yourself and others by at least cutting down the viral load.

Who gave that wanker a visa to enter our country in the first place?

“Obviously educated in America”

I do hear that a lot overseas these days. “Don’t they teach you people anything in your schools these days other than how to acquire brain damage by playing American football?”

Shame on America's current administration and anyone who supports it. The US is now being used as an example of the ultimate in conspiracy theory, science denying, ignorant, brainwashed, fucktardery and dumb shit lunacy on the planet.

I'd love to be in New Zealand but don't know why a COVID denier would want to be there. There are plenty of COVIDiots here in the US for him to hang out with, unmasked, breathing deeply.
