And on the subject of fools, this was too good not to share: https://www.lgbtqnation.com/2022/05/lauren-boebert-attacks-lesbian-mayor-insurrectionist-twitter-cant-handle/
The money quote from the piece: “’Lauren Boebert is what happens when you try to make stupid from concentrate and forget to add the water,’ another user tweeted.”
Well said.
Brilliant, Skinny. save that I’d replace “stupid” with “bullshit.”
Sadly, reports that a man from the LGBTQ community was refused service on his car in Wray because he was gay. On the plus side, a co-worker of the technician who refused service found him an alternative.

From Heather Cox-Richardson today. "Racist Origins of Anti-socialist Ideology"
There is a straight line from the post civil-war South to present day attacks on the social safety net. Racism is about economic, social and political structures that prevent a class of people from advancing, i.e. the undeserving takers vs the deserving makers.

In line with today's quote:
You can't stop stupid. All you do is try to mitigate the damage.
But climate change is a hoax, they said…
Why even both supporting a solution when all you need to do is run to your local Congress-critter for relief?
Producers to get $6B in aid for 2020, 2021 disasters
They should have to sign a declaration that climate change is real, and human-caused, before they receive a dime.
I know, I know…
