"I'll never apologize for keeping you safe"

That was a Dick Cheney and Neo-Con line during the war on terror that they often used to cover up their mistakes.
I think it is a line that Democrats can use defend their Covid restrictions.

Nancy wasn't prepared for the peaceful loving protest?

From the right wing talking points: 1) this was not an insurrection it was a peaceful loving protest. 2) What did Nancy know and when did she know it? Why wasn’t Nancy prepared?
This right wing bullshit narrative will be easily shot down!

Marjorie Taylor Greene's - HIPAA Violation

The violation is that she doesn’t know what HIPAA is.
I got my vaccination in a room of 50 + people with 50 more waiting in line. Not exactly a private undertaking.
But Maggie just doest want to answer the question in the event it causes her to disappoint MAGAts and runs from it like it was the plague.

The Delta Variant is going to love Sunday church services

For which the super intellectual “Jesus is my vaccine” crowd is the prey. Who will get the blame? Should we have forced them to get the vaccine?! Either way, church donations and Trump votes are going to drop precipitously.

Well damn, Mitch figured it out- anti vaccine less GOP votes

It finally hit them. There is an increase in anti vaccine people being infected and some dying. It is expected to get much worse this fall and winter as the delta variant spreads and it is the right wing that is spreading the Covid disinformation. We have it on tape.
So when the infected anti vaxx people and their families go to the polls, who will get the blame? Mitch knows.

Trump's second coming has been delayed, again.

They (the cult) finally realized their potential humiliation if it didn’t happen.
Mike Lindel has found that selling crazy is more profitable than selling pillows.

The Republican Civil War

It is a battle between those that are truly unstable and those that only pretend to be crazy for financial gain. As far as I can tell the Crazy’s have them outnumbered 2 to 1.
The Jenna v Ronna battle is an entertaining cat fight.

I am so Sick of the "Party of small government"

The Republican claims for small government is only a disguise for privatization of Government Agencies the services that they provide and the industries that they regulate.
Why privatization? That is because Government Agencies do not pay political contributions, kickbacks and cushy positions as lobbyists after they have finished a few terms in the legislature.
Their claims to reduce regulation and oversite is of the same vine, government regulations cost corporations money. One must ask themself why the regulation was created to begin with, there is a purpose that they most likely were created to safe lives of workers, environment, and citizens. But those folks don’t seem to donate as much as corporations do.

The US Government subsidizes religion and charities.

What if the IRS no longer allowed deductions for charities and religious organizations? Think about it- the government is making the sacrifice for the donation not the individual. I wonder how Jesus feels about that? He would probably have Obama and Biden setting next to him with a crown.

How would religion be affected? What about the strength of 501c3 political organizations? Could Trump’s religious advisers still afford private jets? Would Karl Rove still have a job?

In 2019 there total religious charitable donations were $500 billion, I can’t find the data on how much the government allowed for deductions.
