The DEGOP Endangered Kent County Seniors with a Super-Spreader event in Dover
No masks, no morals, no problem!! Make American (cough, cough, wheeze) gripe again!
The headline should be – Only 27% of Republicans have any kind of durable affinity for the Republican Party.
I posted this yesterday, but can’t stop thinking about it – so here it is again.
Nearly half of Republicans wouldn’t hesitate to drop the GOP and join a new party led by the last guy, according to a Suffolk University/USA Today poll of Last Guy voters released Sunday. The poll revealed that 46 percent said they would abandon their party while only 27 percent said they wouldn’t drop the GOP. The rest are undecided. Half of the Trump voters polled said that the GOP should be “more loyal to Trump.”
Did we all catch that? If Trump said to do it – 46% would happily drop the GOP and another 27% would have to think about it for a second.

Finding African Americas willing to associate with American conservatism is getting pretty tough.
CPAC CONVENTION DEDICATED TO FIGHTING CANCEL CULTURE CANCELS SPEAKER FOR BEING POLITICALLY INCORRECT
Leading Republican officials are set to speak at the Conservative Political Action Conference (CPAC) this week along with a virulently anti-Semitic speaker named Young Pharaoh.
Young Pharaoh is an online commentator who has told followers that Judaism is a “complete lie” and “made up for political gain,” said that Jewish people are “thieving fake Jews,” tweeted that “all the censorship & pedophilia on social media is being done by Israeli Jews,” and claimed that “all of these big tech [companies], media, & social media platforms are controlled by CCP & Israel through Jewish CEO & corrupt Democrats.” Young Pharaoh has also attacked conservative commentator Ben Shapiro for being Jewish. He’s additionally promoted the QAnon and Pizzagate conspiracy theories and falsely claimed that coronavirus vaccines will “alter your DNA.”
And of course the punch line:
Update (2/22/21): CPAC hascancelled Young Pharaoh’s scheduled appearance following the publication of this article. Young Pharaoh’s information has also been removed from CPAC’s website. Thetheme of this year’s gathering is “American Uncanceled.”
Even Florida Hates Florida
Instagramer Matt Shirley of Los Angeles conducted an informal survey among his more than 300,000 followers, asking them which state they hate most, the Asbury Park Press reported Jan. 21, and from the 2,500 responses, he determined that, among the expected regional rivalries, New Jersey hates every other state and Florida hates … Florida. The Sunshine State was the only one to choose itself as most-hated, with four-fifths of respondents agreeing. “I live in Florida, have my whole life, and would not hesitate to unironically put that as my answer,” one survey participant wrote.

Garland to Be America’s Lawyer – Not the President’s
This is basic shit. How do we make Republicans buy into and support these “norms”? What’s to stop the next Republican President from tearing all this down again?
What was the Kent County event?
Lincoln Day dinner this past weekend
As a devout Atheist for the first time I dropped my mask in church, feel free to hate me. The reason was so I could sing out, as a vocalist the opportunities are few and far between. But as noted people are getting lax about masks. Not me. Still no vaccine, sill commited to a mask and keeping my distance. Turning 65 this Friday and the hunt to get the shot begins.
Bamboozer, My wife and I found the Camden Pharmacy site the easiest to use and book appointments through when they have vaccines available. Which we have done twice now, 1st and 2nd shots and a pleasant experience for both of us. No long waits. In and out in 15 minutes.
Here is the thing about the DEGOP’s super-spreader that makes it especially bad.
It wasn’t held in some Republican dumbfucks house. It was in the Modern Maturity center in Dover which is a hub for services to modern matures. Eg. the very people who you want to keep away from Covid particulates.

Can someone who knows about legal stuff fill me the fuck in. What in the world is Rudy’s game here? Is he going to avoid being served until Trump returns to the throne? What’s the point of all this?
