    Laugh it up but I'm interested to hear where McConaughey aligns. I don't know much about his politics yet but he's going to be popular if he goes through with it.

        I found out yesterday that Abbott is in a wheelchair. Never knew.

            440 kids in Palm Beach County quarantined on 2nd day of school after exposure to COVID. Thank god they're prohibited from requiring masks. Edit: 51 confirmed cases in this school system.
            More American children die by gunfire in a year than on-duty police officers and active duty military.

              Is there any accountability/liability for those in office prohibiting mask mandates once children start dying?

                Fortunately death is extremely rare among children, but that also makes it even less likely that the dipshits in charge will be held accountable.
                If DMT didn't exist we would have to invent it. There has to be a weirdest thing. Once we have the concept weird, there has to be a weirdest thing. And DMT is simply it.

                  Thankfully she tested negative.

                    Just read where 3 Phoenix cops died from Covid--Unvaxxed and part of the almost 65% of AZ law enforcement yet to get the Jab.

                            I am guilty for going after the low hanging fruit. not that I would go after harder fruit or any fruit for that matter. but that is my sin. https://expressiveegg.org/2021/07/02/pandemicquestions/
                            Unfortunately this is all very difficult for most people to grasp, even those who are anti-lockdown. Far easier to focus on baddies — socialists and capitalists, politicians and CEOs, aliens and elites — than on the system itself, because each one of us has given up our lives to the system; are addicted to it, even as it crushes us. Turning against the system means turning against that part of our own souls which the system has colonized.
                            this is why I always blow off conspiracy theorist and look to the stars if I have to pretend to 999999999999999999999999999analyze a s9999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999 99999999ystem. it's much more peaceful despite what Lucretius might say.

                                Not sure if we were already discussing this, but Texas Governor Abbott has tested positive for COVID
                                More American children die by gunfire in a year than on-duty police officers and active duty military.
