This is what you get. Liberalism and mainstream media do not have exclusive claim to the facts, but part of the goal of liberalism is to come to some kind of "truth" through empiricism and examining of the facts. A sort of "scientific" approach to finding information.

Conservative media has gone the exact opposite, pushing ideology and trying to make the facts fit a preconceived narrative...OR they just deny the facts and claim that anything that does not fit into their preconceived notions is fake or part of some kind of shady agenda to deny the truth.

9. The Tyranny Of Private Property?
Mon Apr 26, 2021, 02:20 PM
Apr 2021

I thought her ilk says private enterprise has all the right answers.
Well, the airline's answer to customer protection was masks.
By their own words, masks are now the right answer.
But, unsurprisingly she wants both to be right, for her convenience, and that reason only.
She's an idiot. And, an inconsistent one, to boot.

Her ilk has no internal consistency.

She would be praising the very same airline if say, they were banning Muslims or LGBT people from flying. No tyranny, no problems. It is only tyranny when conservatives are prevented from doing whatever they want without regard to consequences to anyone else.

the next time one of those comes through, maybe next month or so. Until then, she's going to be doing it via Zoom. Anchorage has a container setup but I don't think Juneau does, so traveling in style sooner is out and I I can't see a yuppie squawker like her bunking in on a fishing boat.

I wonder if she also refuses to wear a seat belt on takeoff and landing because those things muss her clothes.

Even republicans can’t stand her bullshit

https://www.alaskapublic.org/2021/04/19/senate-votes-to-remove-reinbold-as-chair-of-judiciary-committee/

Gov. Mike Dunleavy sent Reinbold a letter earlier this session saying the administration would no longer respond to her as the Judiciary Committee chair. In the letter, he said she had spread misinformation about the administration’s response to the pandemic.

Reinbold has called for the governor to retract the letter and apologize. Some of his appointees later met with the committee for their confirmation hearings.

Reinbold asserts that the governor’s office is responsible for her being removed from her position, but Micciche and other leaders say the decision has nothing to do with the administration.

At one point, Senate leaders barred her from most of the Capitol building, citing her failure to comply with COVID-19 safety requirements to wear a facemask and undergo rapid coronavirus tests. While she started to comply with the rules, she was later fined for another violation.

Another conflict occurred during a Senate Health and Social Services Committee meeting on Thursday, during which Reinbold did not comply with the mask requirement. She said she told a nonpartisan committee aide that if they were concerned about it, then perhaps they consider not working in a job close to others.

In other words, even if she gets in to cross part of Canada, she'll have to have a finite destination and stay there for 14 days.

say she is carrying a large amount of drugs (say Cannabis) in her vehicle.

Provide description of her vehicle and license number as "proof".

If anything, maybe she'll get stopped and searched which should make her nice and pissed off after having to drive for hours and hours.

Then, hopefully she'll start shouting and screaming at the RCMP and Canadian border agents who will then haul her big-mouthed ass off to jail. She'll see they not only get their man but that goes for women too.

The ferry service also has a rather stringent mask requirement.

She didn't want to wear a mask for a short flight, so now she'll have to wear one for the much longer ferry trip or get banned from that, too!
