We’d like to think they’re overplaying their hand, but that remains to be seen. Robert Barnes Twitter.com/barnes_law thinks that the Left using the levers of power to persecute people (readying a federal double-jeopardy prosecution against Chauvin “just in case” the Mpls jury didn’t convict, keeping Jan 6th DC attendees in jail without bail, seizing Giuliani’s computers but refusing to accept from Giuliani a copy of Hunter Biden’s laptop hard drive) is because they’re “afraid”. Uh… not sure about that. Seems to me they’re not afraid AT ALL. They control the DOJ, the Intelligence services, academia, the tech companies and the media. What do we have? Tucker Carlson? A few weak alt right voices who walk a tightrope expecting to be cancelled at any moment?

The Deep State seems to have a firm grip on the Supreme Court (your NSA at work perhaps) and the most important legal environments – the DC Circuit and the Southern District of NY are places where conservatives cannot even get a fair hearing. They’ve expanded mail-in voting (and its attendant fraud) to ensure perpetual democrat wins – as happened in Washington State. Even the recent census seems to have been massaged to minimize democrat losses in reapportionment.

Most of my buddies – even “conservatives” have gotten vaccinated (I recently discovered). I don’t expect many to meaningfully object to vaccine mandates. They’ll go along to get along. Wouldn’t want to miss that vacation flight.

Carlson is every bit as much of “controlled opposition” as the Republican Party is. It’s all an illusion that allows people to vent rather than picking up their rifles and using them. Remember what Carlin said about “choice”. You have no choice. You have owners.

I think I agree. My comment was already getting too long to get into that.

Choice is the most overplayed hand of them all.

underplayed

when someone tells you you must vote for either a tornado or a hurricane and you pick one rather than telling that person to fuck themselves while you enjoy a beautiful, sunshiney day …. choice is underplayed

Those were some cheery thoughts for a Monday morning Iska. Maybe we should hope that the vaccine is really a sinister plot to greatly reduce the population of our planet because I for one will not miss most of the people who received their vaccination.

If the jab stays closed loop. If instead it sheds, then the moat’s the love canal & that flammable river. The jabberer’s’d needs have an antidote for themselves, in that scenario.

Barnes is way optimist. Well, he’s a populist.

Vaccine hesitancy is an opinion, not a fact.

I prefer to yell out in public places, “I’m unclean.” Really makes them scatter.

Did that elite wannabe actually say they “needed to use the carrot and the stick” on us filthy dirt people?

Yes, and he’s not the first. Won’t be the last. And yet tell someone that there’s a contingent of elitist social engineers who control how the masses think, believe, and act …

… and you’ll be called a “tinfoil hatter” “Conspiracy theorist”

Does this race hustler realize the black community has a VERY high level of vaccine hesitancy? Does she really want more than half of black people yo be charged with felonies or does it only apply to Trumpers?

One of those cases where the “far right” and the “far left” curve around behind until they meet. Like with Tom Hank’s character on SNL’s “Black Jeopardy” skit from years ago. “You alright, Doug!”

They truly are this stupid.
Do you think if they could get away with it without a complaint that they wouldn’t try making felons of people? Whatever issues from the mouth has an origin in the head. Jesus himself said stop and think before you speak because what comes out of your mouth can condemn you.

“But I say to you that for every idle word men may speak, they will give account of it in the Day of Judgment.”
~ Matthew 12:36 ~

I saw a futuristic piece some time back where people had electronic “agents” who answered their calls , email, paid their bills etc. while people basically stayed in bed in a drug induced coma day after day. I wondered what in the world would keep people from leaving their house in that manner, a house arrest of sort with drugs to dim the pain. Could it be…….COVID????

Carlson is exceptional at describing logical fallacies.

I actually support the idea.

What else has worked getting dumb and lazy Americans to resist the Shit Shot?? Maybe some time in jail will wake them the fuck up.

Agreed. I’ve already deliberately committed hundreds of felonies, and have zero apologies. Just try real hard not to get caught.
