Sadly this is the attitude of about half of my family. My cousin actually wanted her and her children to get it. Needless to say we aren't spending any time with them over the holidays.

Recently had an issue with a cousin - grandma is having chemo for cancer. Cousin works at WaWa. 6 of the staff tested positive.

He was offered a free test, he declined, because if he tests positive, he can't work for three weeks.

Still wanted to come see grandma, she declined.

Disturbing that 6 people at a high traffic store have COVID, and there is no testing policy.

Tom Cotton sure is a weird little traitor. 

This conservative Republican just told an uncomfortable truth about the Trump wing in Congress

Quote

"There's two types of Members of Congress: There's performance artists and legislators. The performance artists are the ones that get all the attention, the ones you think are more conservative because they know how to say slogans real well, they know how to recite the lines that they know our voters want to hear."

He then goes on to cite data suggesting that Illinois Republican Rep. Adam Kinzinger, an outspoken critic of Donald Trump, was actually one of the most loyal supporters of the then-President's agenda in 2017 and 2018, during the 115th Congress when Republicans held both the House and Senate majorities.

Then Crenshaw drops the hammer, noting that the House Freedom Caucus members were some of the least loyal to Trump's agenda. "All of them," Crenshaw insisted.

"What you hear so often is not true," Crenshaw warned the audience. "We have grifters in our midst... in the conservative movement. Lie after lie after lie."

You sure do Dan, glad to see maybe you are not one of them.

I would love to see an election of Crenshaw v.s. Buttigieg.  It would be fresh, entertaining and represent the best realistically possible outcomes for the youth of the 2 parties.  It might even be intellectually honest.

Conservative legislators in Congress shouldn't be loyal to Trump. Trumpers are the performance artists: all talk, no action.

During a Tuesday news conference on the imprisonment of January 6 defendants, Rep. Matt Gaetz of Florida said he'd talked to former President Donald Trump about making him speaker of the House of Representatives if the Republicans were to retake the majority in the 2022 midterm elections.

When pressed for additional details on the conversation, Gaetz said he kept "conversations with the former president between the two of us."

Word is Nunes is leaving Congress to become CEO of Trump Media & Technology Group. The merger is already under scrutiny from regulators; it might be sunk before they even get off the ground. Interesting that a "Trump" company isn't being led by Trump himself.

So a far-right politician leaves his seat because he's too extreme to be re-elected, to lead extremist media group for extremist consumers, that could be shut down by regulators before it even starts. That's a good one... And the far-right crazies will be screaming "unfair" again.

How long before Nunes is actually given a paycheck? It is TFG.

Crenshaw has some balls. He was recorded saying the election wasn't fraudulent and now this? Nice to see at least one GOP member call them out.

A RINO nowadays is someone who refuses to be a Trumplican. Sad.

So Ron DeSantis has aspirations of running for president. It's been reported TFG is pissed that Ron hasn't said publicly he won't run if 45 does. (Which Ron said in private conversations he will back off).

I just can't imagine someone who has the best shot to be the GOP nominee backing off. Especially if Ron feels this might be his best shot.

Thoughts?

DeSantis is scum, and yet, he'd be preferable to Trump.

DeSantis will jump if he's told to jump.  If Trump wants in the race, no one with any real aspirations within the party would dare go up against him.  DeSantis probably just doesn't want to say it publicly because he thinks Trump might choke on a ham sandwich before '24.  Zero chance he goes toe to toe with Trump though, even if he thinks he has a shot.
