Fear and denial are powerful emotions.
Most people have already had multiple infections and accepting the damage that’s been done is hard.
We’re also terrible at adaptation.
Too many folks think avoiding Covid means locking down forever.
They don’t realize the power of respirators & clean air!

40 years later… And the thing is, we already have mountains of data NOW that show what COVID does to brains. Why can’t we acknowledge it? Why can’t we face it? Why can’t we say it?
My dad trained as a neurosurgeon in the late ‘50s and they were still studying the long term neurological effects of the Spanish flu.

Since this administration loves to charge people with making false statements (see, e.g., Comey, James), I assume they will be charging Maxwell for lying to Blanche and the FBI agents who interviewed her, right?
Ghislaine Maxwell lied about Trump never going to Epstein's house (directly contradicted by her email correspondence with Epstein), and she was rewarded for that lie with a transfer to a cushier prison. The coverup is happening in plain sight.

Trump’s problem is that so many Americans — including his MAGA base — believed that he’d expose a powerful global elite.
But every day it's becoming more and more clear that Trump may actually be part of that global elite.
Expect him to lash out as the walls close in.

If Democrats release files showing that Trump was complicit in Epstein's pedophilia, and Trump tries to distract from it by starting a war with Nigeria or Venezuela, then Democrats will have blood on their hands.
