The Actual “Death Panel”
Remember back in 2008 when Sarah Palin’s lie about “death panels” in the proposed Obamacare legislation took on a life of its own? How the entire red state noise machine took it and ran with it? Well, irony kicked in this weekend when Palin, talking at the Turning Point USA convention brainwashing, said she’d get a vaccine “…over my dead body“. The crowd of young conservatives fascists cheered, completely missing the irony of her statement. Dana Milbank hit the nail on the head pointing out that Palin was an active participant in what can now only be called a death cult.
The death cult also showed its ugly head when the few people who actually paid for seats to the Traveling Bullshit Tour stop in Dallas booed their Dear Leader, none other than TFG, when he told Bill O’Reilly that he got the booster to protect himself. The Trumpified GOP is now actually getting people killed as the death rate from COVID in Trump counties is 5 times that of the death rate in blue counties.
The Darwin Club is actually a thing.
As Robespierre found out, sooner or later the mob’s hunger for red meat turns on its founders.
1Win! Win!
2” … the death rate from COVID in Trump counties is 5 times that of the death rate in blue counties.”
And it could not happen to nicer people. (Since nicer people wear masks and get vaccinated to protect everyone.)
3I just had a brain (storm, fart?)
What about if we can get some (actually)patriotically enterprising young hacker to whip up some kinda algorithmy thing to insert into the intertubes saying that Fox news has buried a Trojan horse gizmo in their frequency that does something truly nefarious to it’s consumers.
And the only antidote is in…. wait for it….the vaccine!
I mean hell, a little smidgeon of magnetism is a small price to pay for…
I guess we’d have to figure out what the malady needs to be.
I got it.
Erectile disfunction.
That oughta do it.
I apologize in advance to any salon customer who might’ve
4Suggested this or something like it in the past that I’ve forgotten about.
Not only does Darwinian Theory operate on we, the peop;e it also operates on viruses. Not only has covid mutated into Delta, it has also mutated into Omicron. It doesn’t appear that Omicron is as deadly as other variants which means it has a better chance to infect larger populations of living breathing incubators like you and me.
5But here’s the catch: Omicron doesn’t appear very deadly but what of it’s offspring? The possibility of one of 7.75 Billion incubators (that’s you and me, again) hatching an extinction event viral infection is a realistic probability. It is way past time for mandatory anti-viral inoculations
P.P. – for what it’s worth, the omicron variant’s side effects apparently include erectile dysfunction – no trickery involved.
Now, if we could just get the male anti-vaxxers attention long enough to tell them…
6PP#3 … no it is bad enough when they deny the truth, give them lies and then they decide to do real thinking and discover we lied and then all hell will break loose & produce a hugher S/He/IT storm.
7Best we use truth as it is and wait for them to get it suffer terribly, recover, continuing to suffer thru their pitiful lives serving as a bad reminder of bad thinking!
That much stupid gathered all at once in one room should have caused the room to implode. Lordy when TFG is the less insane of those gathered …
8Sarah Palin, a colorful Pied Piper leading rats to the death panel with musical accompaniment.
9That the death rate in red counties is 5x that of true blue counties is only part of the story about the Sarah Palin death wishes. The death rate among unvaccinated vs fully vaccinated (includes boosters now) is 60 times higher. Obviously there are many unvaccinated even in blue counties and the vast majority are repugnanticans. Mental fitness in the cult is not their thing, so pay they are paying the price
10In a way I feel sorry for those people. They are being scammed and this is the ultimate scam/test.
11The primary death panel for Palin would be cranial death.
12#10… she would never notice a cranial death and keep going like the zombie she is
13Teh Gerg @10 and L.Long @11, a cranial event for $carah Palin is akin to a mindboggling ‘heart’ transplant for Dick Cheney. When the allegedly affected organs nevuh existed …
Grandma Ada @9, stay sweet! Hope the holiday(s) you and your family celebrate are the best evuh!!!!
14OT but looks like nut job madison cawthorn’s wife of 8 months can’t stand him either and is divorcing him. I unlike spouses of other right wing nut jobs, looks like she’s not standing by her man anymore. Same happened to sarah nutty Palin.
15We all luv following the stories of the Darwin Award recipients, but there is a specific COVID-19 award called the “Herman Cain Award” [HCA].
The HCA has millions of aspirants vying for it [c whut I did thar?..].
There’s an interesting reddit that covers the HCA in great detail :
Awarded… posthumously.
r/HermanCainAward:
https://www.reddit.com/r/HermanCainAward/
I find how the reddit story “Flairs”, or ‘tags’/designations, are allotted amusing [but I’m rly cynical].
There’s HCA “Nominated”, for the stories of RWNJs/antis who are on the way/in hospital, intubated/aspirator, whatever.
Then there’s the simple HCA “Awarded”, for those who have CroakVIDed.
Alls I knows is that in my very RWNJ Texas area, the local rag used to run the weekly/monthly COVID body counts long ago, but just stopped covering the topic for some reason. The obit columns seem longer though.
There’s an eye-popping chart of COVID cases between red vs blue US counties here, the co-relation between tRump-voting MAGAots and C-19 cases is stunning :

The Fat Slug was first in line to be jabbed, Sarah was next in line , at the beginning of the year .
17The best line in Dana Millbank’s column was
“Unlikely, governor. Phase III trials have shown that the vaccines fail to generate a robust immune response when administered to dead people.”
Of course, it probably went right over Palin’s head.
18Meanwhile, the real “death panels” are the groups at hospitals deciding on protocols for those times with demand (mainly from those who caught COVID) exceeding the diminishing supply of care.
Colorado already had discussions (again) in mid-November, 2021. “Dr. Eric France, the state’s chief medical officer, said at a Thursday meeting of the Governor’s Expert Emergency Epidemic Response Committee that it’s possible Colorado will need to activate its hospital crisis standards of care, which allow for rationing, in the next few weeks.”
19Good to see you writing again, jefe
