    Trump tried to make Jackson VA secretary.

    Jackson clearly lacked qualifications for such a position.

    Trump may have thought that Jackson's lying about his weight to keep him under the obese range made him qualified.

    Trump's populist counterpart in Brazil has had the same jackass attitude toward the coronavirus as Trump.



    Brazil's COVID Crisis Is a Warning to the Whole World, Scientists Say

    excerpt:

    "RIO DE JANEIRO — COVID-19 has already left a trail of death and despair in Brazil, one of the worst in the world. Now, a year into the pandemic, the country is setting another wrenching record.

    No other nation that experienced such a major outbreak is still grappling with record-setting death tolls and a health care system on the brink of collapse. Many other hard-hit nations are, instead, taking tentative steps toward a semblance of normalcy.

    But Brazil is battling a more contagious variant that has trampled one major city and is spreading to others, even as Brazilians toss away precautionary measures that could keep them safe."

    Brazil's COVID Crisis Is a Warning to the Whole World, Scientists Say

    excerpt:

    "And the news just got worse for Brazil — and possibly the world.

    Preliminary studies suggest that the variant that swept through the city of Manaus is not only more contagious, but it also appears able to infect some people who have already recovered from other versions of the virus. And the variant has slipped Brazil’s borders, showing up in two dozen other countries and in small numbers in the United States.

    Although trials of a number of vaccines indicate they can protect against severe illness even when they do not prevent infection with the variant, most of the world has not been inoculated. That means even people who had recovered and thought they were safe for now might still be at risk and that world leaders might, once again, be lifting restrictions too soon."

    Gov. Greg Abbott says he's rescinding statewide mask mandate and capacity limits on businesses
    The change, which comes as the seven-day average of new coronavirus deaths remains above 200, will go into effect March 10.

    The Trump supporters will troll threads and contend that the situation in Brazil is safe because the hospital bed occupancy hasn't yet reached 100% across Brazil.

    Pence is a lying prick. The republicans are attempting to pass laws to preclude any BUT republicans to win elections. Whatever he says--the opposite is the truth. As usual with that group. The brainless cultists however , will eat the lies up as usual.

    Covid-19 variants pose 'real threat' to vaccine progress, CDC warns


    excerpt:

    "There are many different versions, or variants, of Covid-19 circulating, but health experts are particularly concerned about a few which appear to be more contagious, including those first detected in the UK, South Africa and Brazil.

    The CDC has predicted the highly contagious B.1.1.7 variant first found in the UK will become the dominant strain in the US this month.

    Given this, Dr Walensky said she was "really worried" about reports of US states "rolling back the exact public health measures we have recommended to protect people from Covid-19".

    "We have the ability to stop a potential fourth surge of cases in this country. Please stay strong in your conviction," she said."

    Cult deprogrammers inundated with requests to help people lost in Trump election, QAnon conspiracy theories
    Social media has become rife with disinformation and rabbit holes leading to conspiracy theories

    Cult deprogrammers inundated with requests to help people lost in Trump election, QAnon conspiracy theories

    excerpt:

    "Cult deprogrammers are flush with work as the family members of Trump-conspiracy believers and QAnon supporters seek professional help for their loved ones.

    According to an NPR report, professional counselors specializing in cult deprogramming are facing a mountain of requests from people hoping to break their loved ones free of Trump-related conspiracy theories."

    Cult deprogrammers inundated with requests to help people lost in Trump election, QAnon conspiracy theories

    excerpt:

    "An Ipsos poll asking Americans to review a number of factual statements and false conspiracy theories found that 40 per cent of respondents believed in some of the most outlandish and far-right ideas on the test, including Donald Trump's election fraud lies, the QAnon foundational worldview that a cannibalistic Satanic pedophile ring secretly controls the US, and that Antifa members were actually the ones to storm the US Capitol.

    According to the poll, the people most likely to buy into the conspiracy theories are those who primarily get their news from social media, friends and family, or through primarily conservative communication platforms like Telegram and Parler.

    Ms Benscoter said that anyone can be susceptible to conspiracy theories, and said they especially appealed to individuals looking for purpose or a sense of community. She said they provide "easy answers to life's tough questions."

    "It establishes this camaraderie and this feeling of righteousness and this cause for your life, and that feels very invigorating and almost addictive," she said. "You feel like you are fighting the battle for goodness, and all of a sudden you are the hero.""

    AZ is defending voting restrictions that voting rights advocates are trying to remove.


    Arizona GOP lawyer tells Supreme Court the party needs certain voting restrictions to compete with Democrats

    excerpt:

    "The Supreme Court on Tuesday heard oral arguments by Arizona Republicans in defense of two voting restrictions they are looking to keep intact. At one point, Justice Amy Coney Barrett asked Michael Carvin, a lawyer representing the Arizona GOP, what the party's interest in maintaining the policy of discarding ballots cast at the wrong precinct was. Carvin answered, without hesitation, that removing the rule would prevent Republicans from competing in the state.

    "It puts us at a competitive disadvantage relative to Democrats," he told Barrett. "Politics is a zero sum game. Every extra vote that they get through unlawful interpretations of Section 2 hurts us. It's the difference between winning an election 50-49 and losing an election.""

    Carvin's defense of the restrictions is that they are needed because Republicans would be at a disadvantage to Democrats if the restrictions were removed.

    Arizona GOP lawyer tells Supreme Court the party needs certain voting restrictions to compete with Democrats

    excerpt:

    "Critics argued Carvin was essentially admitting some Republicans believe "it is okay to manipulate elections to gain partisan advantage."

    Per Reuters, part of the reason voting rights activists have targeted the precinct rule is that voters sometimes inadvertently cast their ballots at the wrong polling station because their assigned location is not always the closest one to their homes. However, Reuters reports the high court, which has a 6-3 conservative majority, is likely to uphold the restriction, as well as another that makes it a crime to hand over someone else's ballot to election officials during early voting."

    So here it is March 4th (March Forth!) the day QAnon says Trump will be re-inaugurated in a successful insurrection.

    On Wednesday night, Jimmy Kimmel dedicated a portion of his monologue to this wacky conspiracy theory.

    “Security forces are on high alert at the Capitol tonight thanks to a QAnon prophesy that says tomorrow is the day Donald Trump will return to the White House, triumphantly,” said Kimmel. “March 4 is the date on which they used to inaugurate presidents 100 years ago, and the theory some of these Q nuts are spreading is that tomorrow will be some sort of ‘reawakening.’ Emperor Palpateenyhands will strike back tomorrow, just like he was supposed to on January 6!”

    “How many more times are these people going to prepare for a victory that doesn’t come?” the comic continued. “I don’t know who Q is, but he’s definitely a Clippers fan. Donald Trump—make no mistake, and I’ll bet anything on it—will not be in the White House tomorrow. He’ll be at Mar-a-Lago, berating the maid for only leaving one McNugget on his pillow.”

    And tomorrow there will be public executions of Biden, Harris, Obama, the Clintons, and any other of Trump's "enemies". Tune into Fox news! Don't miss it!

    Trump made a similar remark during the 2020 campaign when he said that the Republicans would never win another election.
