Received this fundraising email last night from the National Republican Senatorial Committee, urging me to give them money lest the darkness of Democrat mRNA vaccine totalitarianism destroy our great land:
The email linked to a WinRed page that, so very conveniently, prechecked the recurring donation boxes so that the NRSC can regularly take money from people without having to ask.
Freedom from antibodies!
You know, the Framers didn't say "Congress shall make no law respecting the freedom of infection" for nothing.

…. because of incompetence. But everyone knew from published reports that the electors had voted for Jefferson and Burr, which is why the Federalist members of Congress didn’t complain. And this had all occurred 76 years before Congress passed a law, …
Reading this account of the authors' interview with tfg leaves one with the impression that ... perhaps ... it just might be possible ... don't want to go out on a limb here ... tfg might be completely nuts.
"The president was riveted. His supporters had heeded his call to march on the Capitol with 'pride and boldness.' For Trump, there was no more beautiful sight than thousands of energetic people waving Trump flags, wearing red MAGA caps and fighting to keep him in power."
"'He thought, "This is cool." He was happy,' recalled one aide who was with Trump that afternoon. 'Then when it turned violent, he thought, "Oh, crap."'"
"Sen. Lindsey O. Graham said, 'It took him a while to appreciate the gravity of the situation. The president saw these people as allies in his journey and sympathetic to the idea that the election was stolen.'"
