an article about the government warning of another wave later this autumn or winter before I read your post. Great, I really woulda preferred looking to the World Series or some cold-weather football games than another round of this damn virus that is still on its first-round upswing!

I've given up on expecting or even hoping the Republicans will do what's best for the country a long time ago. But what confounds me is how time after time again the GOP rank-and-file continually votes against their own best financial interest...and this is what empowers their "leaders". So I don't suppose it should be all that shocking if they also vote against their own best medical interest as well. It shows you just how effective the media be it FOX News or social media or talk radio or wherever the hell else they get their "news" and "info" has been in brainwashing the masses. Sometimes I swear it must be a cereal box!

And it ain't just the conservative dummies who are susceptible to this brain poison they are always spitting out...I have some very intelligent friends and family members who I can have some very pleasant conversations with on a variety of topics but when it comes around to politics they spout some of the stupidest shit you've ever heard in your life. Did you know that Obama was responsible for letting Exxon & Mobil merge???

Man, the Republican elite must be laughing all the way to the bank every day and I bet they get down on their knees and give thanks to God every night for having such ignorant flocks of sheep to lead around. While we Democrats stupidly chain ourselves to science. It's a curse, I tell ya!

If I were to vote in a presidential
primary today, I would vote for:
Joe Biden
