Seems like day before yesterday not only was she not invisible but she was responsible for everything Biden Admin did.  

Ppl apparently get to have it both ways even when theyre contradictory ways.

All she did was read from existing scripts on existing policies and such. Again, no track record. And again, I’m not blaming her at all.

Better hope no natural disasters come your way. 

Which is funny because MA is one of the states that sends more the the federal government in taxes than it gets back-while many of the states that get more than they send in are the red states. 

If the proposal to end income tax really did end up being passed (and I don't believe for a minute that it will), I suspect those states currently being subsidized will suddenly think it's unfair that the money is being taken away.

What’s next for Kamala Harris?    What do you think she ends up doing after January 20th.    I don’t know what her political future holds at this point.    

I think she could have a future at a university. I suspect she'll go home to California and have a better life than a lot of the people who wouldn't vote for her will ever have.

Run for governor of California when Newsom's term is up. I'm guessing, as a former VP, probably what other former VP's do and retire.

For instance, just like hashtag died suddenly, every single health event that happens after say flouride is removed from the water happened because flouride was removed from the water. 

No, they think every disease is currently caused by fluoride in the water.  The crazy nut job homeschoolers have been shunning Fluoride for years and are cool with putting their kids through painful treatment so long as they don't get evil fluoride

Feel bad for Pete Buttigieg today as well.  

I’ve always thought he’d be a fantastic candidate but today’s reality is America is still decades away from electing a gay man as President.    

I disagree.  I feel like gayness is yesterday's news.  I think they're more apt to elect a baby faced clean cut white gay guy over a woman of color.  I wanted Pete as the VP pick.  He picked Kamala because he promised he'd pick a black woman.  Not saying that she wasn't qualified, just not popular.

I'm behind on my conspiracies. There's a fluoride conspiracy now?

Yes, our new chief health czar RFK Jr was interviewed earlier today by MSNBC and NPR and said they'll be looking into taking fluoride out of drinking water. 

RFK Jr. says that Trump will recommend getting rid of fluoride in drinking water

There has been for a long time, I believe it was originally started by the John Birch society, or something like it.

I recently saw a MASH episode where the Frank Burns character mentioned it, though I don't know if the storyline was based on that conspiracy.

And he also says that there are whole departments of the FDA that need to be eliminated.

On the one hand, I do agree that a lot of ingredients used in foods should be banned like they are in Europe, but gutting the FDA is NOT the way to make food safer.

I felt this way yesterday but I don’t today.   I am also understanding that my views and morals are not in line with the majority of Americans anymore. 

I don’t see large groups of Hispanic, Muslim, Evangelical, College Bros, and Younger Black men looking past homosexuality when voting for President.

Yeah i remember it from over 20 years ago and i doubt it was new then.

I actually had a dentist in brighton mi that had anti flouride propaganda hanging on the walls in the office

Sadly I think you are right-I guess my bf isn't a typical Latino man.

Ha, Larry DeWulf?  He's still practicing, believe it or not.  Still uses paper charts with scribbled notes, doesn't have digital xrays or even a computer in his office.  Like a blast from the past.

Half of them ARE gay!

There's nothing innocent about this election. People know exactly who Trump is. More than half the voters chose hate. Hate of "others" which is a remnant from caveman days when another group might actually kill you. In a progressive society, we shouldn't have to worry about it but people still do because of ignorance. Latino voters hate the idea of someone from another country taking their jobs. Religious voters hate the idea of sexual sinners and abortion (charismatic rapists and misogynists seem fine for some reason). It's all about hate, it's selfish and people are too ignorant to rise above it. Now the whole planet descends into fascism because nobody is willing to stand up to these vile men who victimize whoever they want to enrich themselves. Ignorance is bliss except for the rest of us.
