Well That Didn't Take Long-"Moran" Billionaire Opens Mouth Gets Fired

Entrata founder Dave Bateman stepped down as chairman of the software company on Tuesday after sending an antisemitic email to many Utah political leaders calling the COVID-19 vaccine a plot to “euthanize the American people,” blaming the effort on “the Jews.”

Bateman’s email, sent early Monday from his entrata.com account, cited an unhinged conspiracy theory that says the vaccines are an effort, pushed by global “elites” including Bill Gates and George Soros, to depopulate the planet.

In a statement late Tuesday afternoon, Entrata CEO Adam Edmunds said Bateman had stepped down from the company’s board of directors and resigned his position as chairman

What ever happened to bioengineering by the Chinese? Now it's the vaccine but Trump himself has been vaxxed and seems none the worse for it.

And if you look carefully at the US, it looks like Trump and his legions of idiots have been spreading it better than any other group except for churches. Trump humpers have been going around denying COVID and encouraging other idiots not to get vaxxed or to go maskless. Seems Trump and his GOP are the ones trying to "euthanize" Americans.

...multiple, sometimes contradictory elements, all swarming about in the lunatic's damaged skullmeat like the gremlins which cartoons used to suggest utterly-plastered drunks envisioned. A buffet of batshit, the lunatic scoops up whatever suits them at the moment, only to switch it out seconds later.

1. "Trump himself has been vaxxed and seems none the worse for it."
Seriously, how could he POSSIBLY be any worse?

2. "his legions of idiots have been spreading it better than any other group except for churches."
I think you have combined a few groups here with a broad stroke of the brush. There is a rather broad 'denomination/group' of churches that have supported IQ45 - and I think that they would be proud to be considered a part of his 'legion of idiots.'
However, there are MANY other 'denominations/groups' that have been in the forefront of the fight against COVID.

We DO need to be clear as to who is at the front of supporting or not supporting the effort to make COVID 'gone.' It helps to know who is actually 'on our side' - we need all of the help we can get!

In the first sentence of his email, Bateman wrote that many of the email’s recipients “will think I’m crazy after reading it.”

And tell us that what's been done to him is akin to being placed in a concentration camp.

Step 3: He'll realize step one and step two don't mix.

Step 4: Golden parachute and a quick fade into the forgotten and ineffectual.

Resignation didn't take him off the street, so he'll be out there stirring up shit on talk radio and right-wing public and social media.

It appears he needs to be committed somewhere and deprogrammed before Republicans elect him to some public office....

This dude is very symbolic of the biggest problem we face. That is, the thousands of global corporate officers and high-wealth individuals that are the real core of the Republican Party that usually stay hidden out of public view.

If their money dries up, the GOP is toast. In a just world, all of them would come out from behind the curtain and expose themselves like he did and the world would immediately be a far better place.
