MAGA's to get a special edition of stimulus cheque



Chance would be a fine thing - the cult is too far down the far right wing rabbit hole of denial... but LOL

You cannot reason with this level of loony...

So, perusing the interwebs on this gloomy Saturday I ran across this:



I snipped off the actual conspiracy theory – but I am sure you can guess the substance of it - and contact details in case someone who can be conned stumbles across this post.

Where can you go with this? The mental gymnastics that are needed to decide that somehow Corona is the mark of the beast is a special kind of madness and zealotry. Apart from anything else – do the people that have come up with this very dangerous conspiracy, in which they seem to be actively discouraging people to take vaccine know that the common cold and seasonal flu are all corona? Does that mean that everyone who has a corona be the devil?!?! That is literally everyone – even the white pale stale far religious right cray cray that have gone all Q cause their white supremacy illiberal nasty is under threat – everyone on the planet has the 666 (unless you are in an undiscovered tribe somewhere).

Based on the logic of how they worked out the mark of the beast on this.
COVID-19 8 Characters
C 3
O 15
V 22
I 9
D 4
1 1
9 9

So, the real number based on the cray cray logic is 863, when Vikings were conducting raids, and worshipping the Norse gods that the far right love the iconography of today, so that makes perfect sense…. Hehehehehe *rolls eyes*

On a serious level though, how do we bring these people back? How do we make it OK for them to become survivors in the post trump era, rather than ongoing victims of it?

The only thing more shocking than the shitty 1% pay deal for nurses is that anyone is shocked that..

the shittiest government in the recent history of this kingdom would offer them more than that...



With an 80 seat brexit majority they are able to treat those who have strived through the most arduous of years to keep us alive in as the plebs & idiots they believe them to be. In the face of the utter incompetence and grift of those who have now told them to all bugger off and the finances of the national will not support a pay rise - even in line with inflation, they have led the nation from the front even while trying to battle the utter horror shitshow that is Hancock et al

We love they nurses they cry! We admire them! We applaud them!

1%

As James O'B so brilliantly put it on his radio show yesterday. 'Can't we just give the nurses the £350 million-a-week Brexit bonus?' Heh.

Amanda Gorman says she was followed by security guard who said she looked 'suspicious'

Amanda Gorman, the poet who won acclaim for her performance at Joe Biden’s inauguration, has told of being followed home and accosted by a security guard who allegedly claimed she looked suspicious.

She said the incident, on Friday night, was emblematic of “the reality of black girls” in the US, in which “one day you’re called an icon” but the next day considered a threat.


She said in a following tweet: “In a sense, he was right. I AM A THREAT: a threat to injustice, to inequality, to ignorance. Anyone who speaks the truth and walks with hope is an obvious and fatal danger to the powers that be.

A threat? Good grief. A brisk wind would blow her away...
Poeting while black is a threat to shite supremacy bollocks though, so there is that
