Joe Manchin is opposing big parts of Biden’s agenda as the Koch network pressures him
The Koch political network is just one of many groups that have orchestrated outside efforts to oppose the Democratic-backed election bill.

The New Yorker reported on a meeting between Koch leaders and representatives from other conservative-leaning groups about how they have tried to stop the bill from passing but that some of their own polling shows the campaign finance elements of the legislation is widely supported.

Conservatives: "Immigrants bring sickness and disease and filth!"
Also conservatives: "Nah, I won't get vaccinated, science is for gays and liberals!"

Vaccination rates are lagging behind in several Southern states, prompting fear of another surge in coronavirus cases.

The Great Conservative Die-off?

Gohmert: I understand, from what’s been testified to, the Forest Service and the BLM, you want very much to work on the issue of climate change. I was, uh, informed by the immediate past director of NASA that they found that the Moon’s orbit is changing slightly and so is the Earth’s orbit around the Sun, we know there’s been significant solar flare activities, um, and so, is there anything that the National Forest Service or BLM can do to, uh, change the course of the Moon’s orbit or the Earth’s orbit around the Sun? Obviously that would have profound effects on our climate.

‘I don’t believe in evolution, I believe in God’: Marjorie Taylor Greene argues Covid escaped from Wuhan lab


Conservative firebrand Representative Marjorie Taylor Greene leaned on religion in an attempt to argue that the coronavirus pandemic was released from a Wuhan lab, and not introduced into the population via an animal at a “wet market” in China.

Appearing on Steve Bannon’s Real America’s Voice podcast on Tuesday, Ms Greene lashed out at President Biden’s top medical adviser, Dr Anthony Fauci, and called Covid-19 a “bioweapon” that she believes was unleashed from the Wuhan Institute of Virology.

Ms Greene said she didn’t support so-called “gain-of-function research”, where lab technicians will take a virus and tweak it in order to develop vaccines and other medications.

“I don’t buy it because I don’t believe in evolution. I don’t believe in that type of so-called ‘science’. I don’t believe in evolution, I believe in God,” she said, using air quotes to emphasise her point.

What do you expect from someone who blames wildfires on Jewish laser beams from space?

What? Not even with Jewish space lasers?


On a positive note - at least he's accepted that climate change is a real thing.

A few weeks after Biden got inaugurated, there were signs of some "bipartisan" stuff. Then, the election was over, so focus on the 2022 and 2024 elections. How? Never support anything again, because that would prove that the election was not stolen.

This just in! Biden ceding Southern border to the cartels!

Republican playbook
1. there might have been Jan 6 riots
2. trump did not cause it
3. election was stolen
4 everything Trump promoted is true, Fauci is a fake. Example: Hydroxychloroquine

Therefore, to support Biden would be disloyal, no matter what. Well, maybe that 1400 dollars, but nothing else

Businessman in Boebert's district wants Biden plan:
One of the key parts of that [infrastructure] plan is Amtrak expansion. Ours is one of only three mills in the country that makes rail,” Perko said on a breezy afternoon in April, as he turned to face the manufacturing complex, now owned by the multinational company Evraz Group. “If we can get just that part of the infrastructure plan alone passed, that will be business that would keep us in jobs for many years.”

The amount pledged for rail in the infrastructure plan is just enough to modernise the track between New York and Washington.
