Trump in Ohio giving out "Trump Water". Almost as good as when he was throwing paper towels in PR. When asked about rolling back rail safety measures when he was Prez he said he had nothing to do with it. Same old, same old. I saw a meme regarding the possibility of him actually getting indicted on anything: Trump is days away from saying he hardly knows Donald Trump.

I really should stop reading anything that is related to Republicans. AL Rep Barry Moore (on the House Judiciary Committee no less) is introducing a bill to make the AR-15 the "National Gun of America". No kidding.
I know they just want to "own the Libs" and get a rise out of us "Snowflakes" but this is getting ridiculous.

Have we totally lost our minds and our common sense? Is there any other country that has or needs a national killing machine day? WTH?
I can see having a national flag, bird, or flower but a rifle? Haven't enough school children been murdered? Does any other country have a national weapon? Will we soon be seeing rifles on postage stamps and greeting cards? Under Christmas trees?
I'm not opposed to having protection, especially women. I'm opposed to this wild wild West, shoot em' up mentality. Men wearing tie tacks on their lapels with little rifle pins?
Does any other country have so many tv shows and movies with so much gun violence?
I know we have the right to own and carry killing machines. At one time we had the right to own and hang people!
It's nuts. We need a lot more than thoughts and prayers! Thoughts and prayers will not do a damn thing to stop the slaughter of kids in the classroom or adults at home. Not a damn thing.

Also, in the Wild West there was gun control, at least in some towns. Visitors to towns such as Deadwood, Tombstone, Dodge City and Abilene were required to disarm either at a hotel or law enforcement office. Of course, not everyone did, but still they were trying.

Lani, I never knew that. Thank you for posting that info. What a good idea that was. The NRA and some gun owners would have a fit and a half if anything as sensible and reasonable as that was required today.
There would be yelling and screaming and hollering about their rights being trampled on. Obviously not as important as the rights of children sitting at their desk in school, or adults driving to work.
What's wrong with this picture?

Me either. I saw it on another message board and verified it. The original information was from a 2018 article in the Smithsonian Magazine.

So apparently far right media is circulating a video of a WH staffer falling down Air Force One steps and photoshopped it to look like Biden. The original video shows Biden stumbling (not falling) walking UP the steps, near the top.

U.S. Dept. of Energy release report (with "low confidence level") that Covid most likely emerged from a lab leak in China. Watch the GOP go nuts on this.
My first question was what does the Energy Dept. know about viruses? According to published articles (NYT, WSJ) they have an overseas network of national laboratories, some conducting biological research. That's all I could find.

Greene doesn't like Drag Queens because they all look better than her, they are smarter than she is, and they really know how to light up a room and have a good time.
She's a loud mouthed, obnoxious politician who screams and hollers to get attention. That's not attractive at all. It's rude, crude and pathetic.
All a Drag Queen has to do is walk and smile and look awesome!

Where overseas is their lab?
Most likely means nothing.
If you were a gambler would you put your money on a horse that "most likely" could win? Or, send your child to get a vaccine from a doctor that most likely had the best vaccine available? Or order a meal from a restaurant that most likely got an excellent rating from the board of health?
Would you?
