Good to see so many people that have received both shots!

“While he had only been speaking for less than a minute, some members of the audience had already exceed their attention span and started playing with their phones.”
The Douglas Chapter of the Republican Q Club listens to a speech by the Illinois head Q-bah. The topic was the fraud perpetrated by scientists saying the earth is round.

-We can’t presume that they’re not vaccinated.-
I think they would be proud to tell you they are not, then say something about Bill Gates.
To the caption: “Now let’s hit that buffet. Sneeze guards are Socialist.”
Not Fauci, I’m assuming the majority of those people don’t even get a flu shot, much less a vaccine against a disease that they don’t even think is real.
Bailey speaks to maskless crowd, says he’s the virus to cure Illinois. DeVore sets up a table in the back with credit card machine to sign up clients. Cabello films the speech with his body camera, half way Cabello gets soup on the camera, it malfunctions. The Millers follow with speeches about the wonderful duality of unity and insurrection , Wehrli continues to tweets about Mautino. Comedy, 58 min
Imagine if this thing had been “more” deadly and I would bet it would have made zero difference for people like this. Thanks for making everything worse and be sure to thank your GOP Congressperson for their hard work on the relief bill.
Local Middle East experts were confused today when attending the “Two State Solution” series by Sen. Bailey as his ramblings had nothing to do with the Middle East.
The crowd sort of paid attention, then the speaker started to sing ‘Highway to Hell’ country style and forgot the third line. Tough to come back from that.
“The horseman on the white horse was clad in a showy and barbarous attire. … While his horse continued galloping, he was bending his bow in order to spread pestilence abroad. At his back swung the brass quiver filled with poisoned arrows, containing the germs of all diseases.”

I’m running for Governor. Please try to stay alive long enough to vote. Wear a mask and get vaccinated. Hahaha. Just kidding, about the mask and vaccine part.
Not Fauci -
The CDC didn’t say exactly what you said it did. It said “you should keep taking precautions in public places like wearing a mask, staying 6 feet apart from others, and avoiding crowds . . . .”
It also said “you should avoid medium or large-sized gatherings.”
That may not apply, since no GOP gathering in Illinois may be big enough to be medium or large-sized.

Bailey: “And according to Wikipedia, The racial makeup of Douglas County is 95.7% white. Does that sound about right?”
So is this really a Bailey election rally or is he trying to sell AARP memberships? Or both? Listen here friends we are a free people unlike what that tyrant Pritzker says. So if you vote for me you get a free AARP membership or you can buy one tonight.
“I call it my ‘38’ strategy. I win a crowded primary with 38% of the vote. Then, I get pummeled with a 38% vote in a loss… so you could say ‘38’ is really important to me and it should be for you too”
The anti-mask, anti-vax stuff is absolutely on point. But, as usual, the way these liberal posters look down on downstaters is so telling as to why this state is so divided. You disrespect them. They hate you. Rinse, repeat.
–as usual, the way these liberal posters look down on downstaters–
My family are downstaters. I grew up downstate. I am not looking down on downstaters. I am however, not willing to respect the willfully ignorant wherever they may live.
Your drivel to “liberal posters” only makes sense if you think the Eastern Bloc is right in wanting a new state, the hate for Chicago is warranted, and the racial underpinnings are justified.
You believe that, then your drivel makes sense to why you say it, even if it’s wrong.
Your victimhood is still noted, however.
“Caption?”
“My goal is to first win, then divide the state so people who ‘look like us’ don’t need to deal with people who ‘look like them’… She-Caw-Go people…”

The CDC just declared that vaccinated people can congregate without masks with other vaccinated people. We can’t presume that they’re not vaccinated.
