    Meanwhile Florida has started to form toddler death Voltron by announcing they’re removing all vaccination requirements from schools.

    I fully expect there to be a southern collation of iron lungs soon.

    Just creating this division is proof RFK should resign. We knew he was an activaxxer and against science, but enforcing his personal opinion on the entire country is unforgivable. At-risk children, elderly, and others will die because of his bias…

    Looks like the future country of Cascadia is finally starting to make some moves.

          Seattle is in Washington, directly under Canada, a stones throw from Vancouver, specifically. DC is a former wetland (hence “Drain the Swamp!”) set in between Maryland and Virginia and has a warmer climate. We are taught that the capital was never supposed to be part of any state, lest they become more powerful than the others.

            DC is a former wetland

            for like half a century after the countries founding, there was no sewer system. So a giant lake of shit formed, practically behind the White House. It’s thought a lot of the early presidents had their life shortened by cholera complications

              I think they should bring back the shit swamp, personally. I think we could use a place to dunk politicians we are displeased with.

          Oh there are many places named Washington in the US!

          There’s a small city called Washington, PA. It’s easy to find because it’s also in Washington county!

          If you find yourself in California, PA instead of Washington, PA then you made the same mistake as if you ended up in big-ass California instead of big-ass Washington: too far south!!

          Oh yeah, you can also attend Washington and Jefferson College in Washington city in Washington county! :D

      That’s the old washington. We’ve had plenty of updates and fixed many of the issues for the new one. Good way to remember it is that the nation’s capital is called Washington DC. DC is an Italian abbreviation for Da Capo which means from the beginning.

    There are indeed greater truths than hobby ideologies from oil billionaires.

    Virus science/knowledge (aka virology) and epidemiology being some of them.

      I could give less of a fuck if my friends and loved ones are being pulled into vans under the orders of some miserable politicians out east who never represented us.

      If D.C. can fix their own shit, my tune will change. As of now, California’s my refuge away from federal hell, and I don’t see the flames extinguished yet.

    I feel bad for Cheryl Hines but not really. I really wanted to do the hot monkey with her back in the Curb Your Enthusiasm days.

    I think blue states should bring in all in-house solutions to cut the middleman White House out of it. States rights!
