The most "controversial" aspect of that sentiment is that a Republican is the one saying it. I wonder if that's the same Meijer as the supermarket chain Meijer.

Yup, he's from that Meijer family. His great-grandfather was the known socialist, anarchist, and supermarket entrepreneur Hendrik Meijer who, like so many other Dutch immigrants, found himself in West Michigan (specifically Holland, MI). His son Hank (Peter's grandfather) took Meijer from the hole-in-the-wall store to hypermarket and along with the DeVos family (i.e. Betsy DeVos) and Dirk Jan De Pree (Herman Miller furniture) built Grand Rapids and pretty much all of West Michigan.

West Michigan is still incredibly wealthy, Dutch, and overly religious.
 
I was reading internet comments (yeah, I know) and someone on Imgur stated that the Republican strategy for 2024 is to promote covid deaths and blame the Democrats.

And... as disgusting and shameful as the tactic is, the guy's right.

Of course, it will also be a combination of "the Democrats have gotten nothing done for the country" while also "Biden's presidency has been the most radical left marxist socialist communist administration in history". The cognitive dissonance is astounding.

And if the Republicans succeed at this, the Democrats in 2026 will..... probably not fight with the same tactics.
 
If you can wait in line...at numerous permanent and pop-up testing locations, occasionally open 24, most days of the week, all year long. Yeah, I would gladly stand in line to vote on any day at any time of my convenience.
Well now you're just making sense.

It's important to recognize that it wasn't offered as any kind of serious argument. The only purpose it serves is to pander to the idiot base and those stupid mother****ers eat it up.
 
Fox News host Tucker Carlson and Dr. Marc Siegel, a medical contributor with the popular cable network, discussed the possibility that Viagra could be a viable treatment for COVID-19, citing an anecdotal example and a study out of Chile.

British tabloids The Sun and The Daily Mail first reported the story of 37-year-old nurse Monica Almeida in the United Kingdom, who was on the verge of death and in a coma after contracting COVID-19 before she was given an experimental treatment that included a large dose of Viagra. While her family had been told to say their goodbyes and she was set to be taken off the ventilator keeping her alive, she recovered and now credits the erectile dysfunction drug for saving her life.

"Well, amazingly there appear to be growing connections between Viagra and treatment for the coronavirus," Carlson said in a segment of his Fox News show on Friday. He cited the story of the nurse in the U.K. and brought on Siegel, who is a professor of medicine at the New York University Langone Medical Center, to discuss the treatment.

Pfizer needle thing bad. Pfrizer blue pill good.
 
Wait. So they're not going to trust the Pfizer vaccine, but they're going to trust the Pfizer made Viagra?
They will trust anything except the thing literally made for the thing. Doesn't matter what it is, only that it's not the specific thing for the thing, because the thing is a lie/bad so the thing made to stop it is also a lie/bad.

I mean, they're straight-up drinking piss at this stage. Their own, at the moment.

They are trying to be unlicensed doctors and scientists and get in on the grift train to make lots of money.
 
I honestly don't know where to put this, but here it is folks: the dumbest take ever...



"I believe in Christ and Donald Trump, but when he said get the vaccine he didn't mean the COVID one because it's not a vaccine, but he also didn't necessarily mean go out and get a vaccine immediately, or which one. Anyway..." «dies»
