    “Cry havoc and let slip the DOGE of war!”

    Those who cheered as J-6 American prisoners were locked in solitary for 18 months without trial, now suddenly fight tooth and nail for foreign terrorists’ "due process". — Buck Sexton

            Yep, it doubled up in those red counties to 70 per 100,000 people. It's easier to get infected if one is out living life, instead of cowering in the basement.

              I have had 3 shots and I did not report any affiliation with a political party.

              Where do they get this data?

                They just assumed you were a lib after seeing you remove the Youngkin posts on your neighborhood group.

                Only non-witches get due process.

                  I have a far fetched idea… Could there be any correlation between Trump performing better with older voters and COVID being far more lethal with older people? I mean vaccinated seniors are at greater risk than unvaccinated 30?year olds… Is there any chance that’s why so many counties that went trump had a higher death rate?

                  Gotta love statistics…

                    Silly Copper. They make it up!

                    I'm with you. Most of the people I know who refuse the vaccination are to the far right of the party. Most anyone I know who is sensible has been vaccinated.

                    But I still don't favor mandates.

                      Of the people I know, I found that I could predict who refused the vaccine pretty accurately.

                      I think that what the British call bloody-mindedness was a more accurate predictor than simply politics.

                      I was only joking
