Nazis murdered 6 million Jews. This kind of bullshit drives me crazy. absolutely crazy.
Vaccinated employees get a vaccination logo just like the Nazis forced Jewish people to wear a gold star.
Vaccine passports & mask mandates create discrimination against unvaxxed people who trust their immune systems to a virus that is 99% survivable.

(2,636 posts)Covid's got a 1.7% fatality rate, and long haulers have ongoing medical issues.
Is it wrong to hope these maskholes get it?

(3,167 posts)Plus, isn't it 1.7% of the people who actually HAVE the disease? Not 1.7% of the entire population.
Currently in the US there have been 33,924,707 cases, and 604,478 deaths. That is a fatality rate of 1.78%, so let's just call it 1.8%.
If everyone in the entire country contracted the virus, that would equate to 5,880,014 deaths. We should start asking these people if they're OK with almost 6 million deaths.

(3,496 posts)Insurance companies being allowed to not pay for COVID related hospital expenses for those unwilling to get the vaccine (with an exemption for legitimate medical excuses). Ditto for Congressional folks and other Federal officials who rely on the government for their health care.
My point doesn't really cover her Holocost comparison. Sometime blatenetly made repugnant comments should stand on there own as no comment is really needed.

If they were here, I'd like to lock them both in a room with an ounce of good pot, a bottle of Jack Daniel's, two cases of beer, some poppers, a little speed, and a pint of devil ether. Then tape record their conversations. Oh, the insights we'd glean from that little experiment.

Test of tweet:
Kevin McCarthy
@GOPLeader
Marjorie is wrong, and her intentional decision to compare the horrors of the Holocaust with wearing masks is appalling.
Let me be clear: the House Republican Conference condemns this language.
My full statement: https://republicanleader.house.gov/leader-mccarthy-condemns-comparisons-to-the-holocaust/
Text of his statement:
Washington, D.C. House Republican Leader Kevin McCarthy (CA-23) released the following statement:
Marjorie is wrong, and her intentional decision to compare the horrors of the Holocaust with wearing masks is appalling. The Holocaust is the greatest atrocity committed in history. The fact that this needs to be stated today is deeply troubling.
At a time when the Jewish people face increased violence and threats, anti-Semitism is on the rise in the Democrat Party and is completely ignored by Speaker Nancy Pelosi.
Americans must stand together to defeat anti-Semitism and any attempt to diminish the history of the Holocaust.
Let me be clear: the House Republican Conference condemns this language.
Words are cheap. How about censure? Expulsion?

(15,325 posts)Or a bar coded badge with her photo & personal data that gets her into the Capitol Chamber?
Facebook, Twitter or social media log in accts?
She's got her mouth & face on every media source by way of her blessed 1st Amendment Right to say whatever propaganda she chooses, including the bullshit diminishing & normalizing the acts of Hitler's slaughter & genocide of the Jewish people.
I don't want to hear ONE of our own elected Congress or Senate members speak the word aparthied towards Jewish Israelis either.
In such context THAT is also antisemitism.
They make the same case as MTG's statement.

(7,850 posts)and this thing (MTG), in her daily vomit, is equating gas chambers, crematoriums, torture, starvation, rampant disease, Mengele, massive graves oozing with blood, with a mask and a vaccine.. why the fuck doesn't someone muzzle that insane piece of excrement!!..she is Trump.. stupefyingly ignorant, racist, cruel, crude, amoral, vengeful, and a malignant narcissist...

These 99% survival people don't seem to think about permanent organ damage and obviously don't give a shit about infecting a relative or worker who might not survive.

OK, slam me with outrage, bringing her appearance up.
I will do as republicans do, say anything, then claim its out of context, fake news, we need to move on.

I love masking, I look 20 years younger and only shave occasionally. She should like the no shaving part, at least.
