KING OF COVID: The anti-vaxx MAGA cult is blowing a gasket after their dear leader ranted how he was responsible for the COVID vaccine and not President Joe Biden.
His voters think the vaccine is an evil Deep State bioweapon designed to depopulate the world, he knows that which is why he stopped trying to take credit for it at rallies because he was afraid of losing people to RFK because of it, but he couldn’t help himself last night. pic.twitter.com/OeI8h9EmVd

AND THE OSCAR DOESN’T GO TO: Republican Alabama Senator Katie Britt gave an overly dramatic kitchen hostage video performance/SNL sketch for her GOP rebuttal to Biden’s SOTU speech. Nurse!
Creepiest shit ever. Yikes.
Silly me thought Bobby Jindal gave the worst rebuttal speech possible but Katie Britt was like 'hold my beer.'
The House Speaker looked pained while sitting behind President Joe Biden.

Biden thinks trans activists are going to get him voted in? This man needs to go, his administration just admitted they flew in 320,000 illegal migrants. This president weakened the border and now human traffickers are running rampant. It’s a disgrace.
The people that they “flew” in had been vetted by Immigration and passed all the legal standards to be be admitted and was flown in from other countries and therefore legal. Guess with your head up your backside you want NOBODY to be let in. Too bad you wasn’t around when you ancestors got in, maybe they should have been refused then we would have to put up with your stupid BS.
Shaver, you’d have a lot more credibility if you did more than parrot back the distorted talking points of the far right influencers. The 320,000 people flown in during 2023 were NOT illegal immigrants, the program was NOT secret, and the flights were the results of policies first begun in the 1950s.
“Verifythis” did a comprehensive analysis of all aspects of the situation, which you should be able to easily find on the internet. (The far right rallying cry of “do your own research” does NOT mean “get sucked into the intentionally misleading and/or wrong statements put out by the far right, and then spread far and wide by their network of Twitter “stars” and other sites.)
In short the people brought in are not people attempting to immigrate. Rather, they are people with needs to enter the country for a time, such as relatives of sick or dying people. Some sort of addition was made regarding Ukrainian people following Putin’s invasion. There are other categories as well. The visits are for limited amounts of time. “Verirythis” can tell you all about it. And then you can be a knowledgeable as liberals!
Dennis, Never rely on a verify site for accurate information, you need to dig into the details yourself. The service Verifythis referred to “gives the Secretary of Homeland Security discretionary authority to parole into the United States temporarily, under conditions the Secretary may prescribe, on a case-by-case basis for urgent humanitarian reasons or significant public benefit” Are you telling me SHS went through 320,000 applications case by case? They can’t keep track of over 8 million illegal migrants who have crossed the southern border since uncle Joe came into office. Even CNN is finally telling the truth and blaming Biden for the border crisis.
Anecdote from Sen. ShaverC’s criticism of Biden’s border policies appears to be from before he was president
By Samantha Waldenberg, CNN Sat March 9, 2024
Alabama Sen. ShaverC graphically described a woman’s story of being “sex trafficked by the cartels starting at age 12,” during the Republican response to the State of the Union address on Thursday, using the story as an anecdote of, what she called, President Joe Biden’s failed immigration policies. But the story she seemed to describe didn’t take place during Biden’s time as president or vice president, nor did it happen in the United States.
“When I first took office, I did something different. I traveled to the Del Rio sector of Texas, where I spoke to a woman who shared her story with me. She had been sex trafficked by the cartels starting at age 12. She told me not just that she was raped every day, but how many times a day she was raped,” Britt said from her Alabama home.
She then described in detail how “the cartels put her on a mattress in a shoebox of a room, and they sent men through that door, over and over again, for hours and hours on end.”
“We wouldn’t be OK with this happening in a third-world country,” ShaverC said. “This is the United States of America, and it’s past time we start acting like it. President Biden’s border crisis is a disgrace. It’s despicable. And it’s almost entirely preventable.”
Biden was ready to sign the bipartisan border bill but Mike Johnson wouldn’t bring it to the floor because Trump wanted to run on the border issue. That’s not Biden’s doing.
dbmcvey, That bill gave $20Billion for the border and $60Billion to Ukraine, it should’ve been called the Ukraine Bill. Republicans didn’t like that, so they asked for the border bill on it’s own, which the Democrats said no too. So who’s being difficult?
BS, Shaves, that’s not the reason Johnson didn’t bring it to the floor.
Republicans scream that the border is the most important issue but they don’t really want to do anything about it because it’s one of the few issues they have.
Of the money you claim would go to Ukraine, 49 billion would go to US defense, it would stay in this country and go to US defense companies. You can have an issue with that as well, but the money wasn’t going to Ukraine.
dbmcvey, Politico.. of course. They’re very sneaky. Yes there is money to replenish weapons and troops but if you read the actual bill it states so much money goes to replenishing missiles (that were given to Ukraine) and then these important words: “To remain available until (date)”.. which means they’re being given to Ukraine.
Let us pause for a moment to offer thoughts and prayers to the Dishonorable Governor of Arkansas. Home to the NRA ”good guy with a gun”! good ole boys and the worshipers of the 2nd Amendment.
AMEN! RIP kids. Those thoughts and prayers won’t get you very far.
At least one person truly loved Britt’s speech: Former President Donald Trump praised Britt for delivering what he called a “GREAT” speech that was “compassionate and caring.” His accolades should not come as a surprise. After all, Britt took a page from his playbook by baselessly ratcheting up fears about an influx of migrants to scare voters into supporting the GOP.
In her address, Britt blamed Biden for the “border crisis,” claiming he “invited” it with his executive actions. During the speech, she told the harrowing story of a woman she said she’d met on the Texas side of the southern border who told her about having been “sex trafficked by the cartels starting at the age of 12.”
‘Not fair at all’: Sex trafficking victim says Katie Britt distorted her story for political purposes
Republican told woman’s story in State of the Union rebuttal and implied it occurred under Biden instead of Bush’s presidency
Jacinto Romero said that she met Britt at an event at the border, along with other government officials and activists, instead of a one-on-one meeting as her speech suggests.
“I hardly ever cooperate with politicians because it seems to me that they only want an image. They only want a photo – and that to me is not fair,” Romero said.
Shaver you are a jack ass and no-one cares about your idiotic MAGA opinion. Don’t you have a right to life march with other non-procreators to go to instead of commenting on here? Seriously you better go girl.
