Fixed.

My question for today is why is this "protest" being allowed to happen in the first place? Fat Bastard incited an insurrection on Jan 6. Now we have one of his instigators sponsoring a "rally" in support of the insurrectionists. Also of note not one single Republican in a leadership position has spoken out against this. "Let's rally 'round guys in support of the people who tried to overthrow our government!".
WTF?

[RickeyM]

Well that didn't go as hoped/planned. Turnout was somewhat less than expected. Was the government responsible for the rumor about the feds using the rally to round up and spy on the rally attendees? You didn't hear that from me

On a related note, D Jr. ragged on the "obvious" undercover cops (feds?) at the rally yesterday. Hey Dumb-Dumb-Donald, those were the cops they wanted you to see.

Has anyone seen the piece about former tRump advisor and Russian asset Michael Flynn is repeating the theory that Covid vaccines are being added to salad dressing?

... and no, this isn't an upcoming skit on SNL.

I saw it on MSNBC today.

Most of the stuff that's peddled to MAGA morons is so patently ridiculous there's no excuse for believing it, certainly not without vetting it.

MAGA morons are not vetting it, they are ready, willing and eager to accept and propagate this crap.

Pretty sure anti-vaxxers aren't into salads. Potatoe salad being the exception.

I think it is made excessively ridiculous to troll blues, thus increasing polarization from both directions.

And it's working.

Monty Python, Firesign Theater and others did their part in setting the stage for our heighten level of absurdity. Trump's been a big help too. If he weren't a Reality TV star, would he have been President?

Reality TV gave him name recognition beyond the boroughs and he built a persona of being a savvy business person, but what did the trick for him is social media, specifically FB and TWTR. Even his party affiliation was unknown until then.
