2022 Politics: Pestilence and Turmoil.

The new year starts with Majorie Taylor Greene getting perma banned off Twitter.

It's nice to hear some good news for a change.

Shocking that someone like her was elected to office

[RJDiogenes]

Unfortunately, she's not the only elected official who is horrifying.

I'm still on the lookout for articles on CNN that indicate a breakdown of extremism, and I came across this. It's kind of lukewarm compared to the others I've posted, but there are some interesting points about how people treat those on the other side of the divide.

[scottydog]

Yes, I saw that article. Doing these things is important but really our fate rests with the integrity of Republican congressmen & women. In other words, we're in trouble

[Lupine]

Yeah, I've seeing more articles about the need for civility. As for the CNN article I agree about voting as I've been a bit of a voting fanatic. Don't agree with protests as they have a tendency when big enough to spin out of control- with the news coverage focusing on that rather than what the problem is.

Not necessarily-- there are also the Republican voters, many of whom will be dead or disgusted in the next couple of elections.

That's why we need more Love-Ins, like in the 60s.

In any case, we finally got some good news for a change:



I think CNN is fundamentally against proofreading. Another one of their headlines today talked about Republicans advocating for "handing-counting ballots."

Blame the deadlines!

[RJDiogenes]

This is hilarious. Dr Fauci testifies under oath that a Republican senator is a moron.

[Lupine]

^I saw that!

[scottydog]

It's sad. Fauci shouldn't have to worry about receiving death threats from anti-science extremists who can count on their Republican representatives to support their moronic worldviews.

[Lupine]

It's getting increasingly bonkers out there.

[RJDiogenes]

Threats of violence are at an all-time high.

In related news, we've finally got some serious charges in the attempted coup.

Are cracks finally appearing in The Big Lie?
