The GOP now want to cancel baseball and Coke although one Coke drinker seems to be unable to give it up:

This does not seem like a GOP position on corporations:

Isn't this what socialist tyrannies are supposed to do regarding private enterprise? I thought the GOP were against government telling private businesses how to run their affairs?

Of course I've only been saying this on here for fourteen years and a lot longer before I got here:

The infrastructure tweet stood out to me. Since 2010- rise of the Tea Party - Birthers, up to Drumpf, they have next to nothing they offered. Saddled U.S. with back to back trillion dollar defict bills. backed by Trump who said he didnt even read the bills that he signed.

And as figures, the FIX or FOX crew acting as if Dems aren't spending enough on infrastructure- instead of stating they already took care of it.

As far as the people calling others cancel culture- what can be said? Their pimp has been dictating to them who they should boycott since he took office-remember when he told America & Christie- no more oreos? LOL! Who the heck is this guy dictating to people to boycott everyone's businesses to Mexico or overseas- except him and the daughter he wished he could bone? Hey if he shows favortism for one daughter over another, surely he would show favoritism for certain companies overseas (stay mum) and for those he could care less for...well out them.

Same old story on trying to identify exactly how many jobs/businesses came back as only right wing news/radio/think tanks reports on those that came back.
Mainstream only talked about those that didnt come back- so difficult to find a new source that weighed both.

"Trump Steaks"

by Char C. coal

Cut up a steak and smack it down on the grill
Watch it from out your windows still
The embers on the fire glowing hot
You take some butter and garlic that's what!

Get the ketchup and slather it on
Burnt well done like a real Don
Down at the okay corral at Ponderosa
Screw the barbecue I'm hanging out with Omarosa

You may be surprised to learn that of the trio of long-awaited coronavirus vaccines, the most promising, Moderna’s mRNA-1273, which reported a 94.5 percent efficacy rate on November 16, had been designed by January 13. This was just two days after the genetic sequence had been made public in an act of scientific and humanitarian generosity that resulted in China’s Yong-Zhen Zhang’s being temporarily forced out of his lab. In Massachusetts, the Moderna vaccine design took all of one weekend. It was completed before China had even acknowledged that the disease could be transmitted from human to human, more than a week before the first confirmed coronavirus case in the United States. By the time the first American death was announced a month later, the vaccine had already been manufactured and shipped to the National Institutes of Health for the beginning of its Phase I clinical trial. This is — as the country and the world are rightly celebrating — the fastest timeline of development in the history of vaccines. It also means that for the entire span of the pandemic in this country, which has already killed more than 250,000 Americans, we had the tools we needed to prevent it .

If Donald Trump had had the capacity to read and process data in his head and any kind of work ethic instead of just watching TV all day he could have changed history here, owned the libs on a world historical scale and become a venerated statesman and hero all over the world.

If he'd been in the least curious about how vaccines work and are developed he would have found out abour challenge trials. You literally inject people with the virus to see if vaccines work. This would have speeded up the vaccine trials from almost the year that they took to a few weeks. The medical profession would have hated it because it's unethical but Trump would have loved the controversy. He could have been the guy who got things done while everybody else fannied about.

Could have even had the trials in Brazil or somewhere where it would be foreign peasants taking the risk versus Americans. You can see how the lib-Trump arguments about this would play out. And Trump could, for pennies compared to the trillions spent on lockdown bills have come up with a proven vaccine, vaccinated Americans then vaccinated the world as everybody else sat around. He'd have been a global hero going into the American elections.

This came out

https://www.nytimes.com/2021/04/07/u...itol-riot.html

and it got me to go and read this. This bit about the then head of Fox News is spectacular:

At some point after the 2008 election, something changed with my friend Roger Ailes. I once met him in New York during the Obama years to plead with him to put a leash on some of the crazies he was putting on the air. It was making my job trying to accomplish anything conservative that much harder. I didn’t expect this meeting to change anything, but I still thought it was bullshit, and I wanted Roger to know it.
When I put it to him like that, he didn’t have much to say. But he did go on and on about the terrorist attack on the U.S. Embassy in Benghazi, which he thought was part of a grand conspiracy that led back to Hillary Clinton. Then he outlined elaborate plots by which George Soros and the Clintons and Obama (and whoever else came to mind) were trying to destroy him.
“They’re monitoring me,” he assured me about the Obama White House. He told me he had a “safe room” built so he couldn’t be spied on. His mansion was being protected by combat-ready security personnel, he said. There was a lot of conspiratorial talk. It was like he’d been reading whacked-out spy novels all weekend.

And it was clear that he believed all of this crazy stuff. I walked out of that meeting in a daze. I just didn’t believe the entire federal government was so terrified of Roger Ailes that they’d break about a dozen laws to bring him down. I thought I could get him to control the crazies, and instead I found myself talking to the president of the club.

That's all well and good and I def agree, but listen to the man's words in the video I posted. The Atlanta voting law is no Jim Crow.
