Bad Optics!

Cullman County, Alabama has one of the state's worst COVID-19 cases.

BLACK LIVES MATTER

PROTECT AAPI WOMEN!

FREE PALESTINE🇵🇸!

WEAR A DAMN MASK! SAVE A LIFE! TRUST SCIENCE AND MEDICAL EXPERTS! THE CORONAVIRUS PANDEMIC IS FUCKING REAL!

GET VACCINATED! IF THE OPPORTUNITY TO GET THE VACCINES ARE AVAILABLE, GET IT WHILE IT'S STILL FREE! THE MEDICAL EXPERTS SAY THE VACCINES DO WORK AND IT REDUCES THE RISK OF CORONAVIRUS INFECTION. OVER 650,000 AMERICANS ARE DEAD FROM THE CORONAVIRUS.

HOLD THEM ACCOUNTABLE NOW! VOTE THESE DUMBASS LAWMAKERS OUT OF OFFICE! STOP SUPPORTING ALL FORMS OF EXTREMISM!

GIVE PUERTO RICO, GUAM, AMERICAN SAMOA, U.S. VIRGIN ISLANDS AND NORTHERN MARIANA ISLANDS THE RIGHT TO VOTE IN THE U.S. PRESIDENTIAL ELECTIONS! GRANT STATEHOOD TO THE DISTRICT OF COLUMBIA. MAKE IT THE DOUGLASS COMMONWEALTH.

GOOGLE'S BLOGGER IS STRAIGHT UP TRASH! THE BLOGGER INTERFACE IS A TOTAL DISASTER AND IT'S RIDICULOUS!

WHITE PRIVILEGE IS REAL! IT'S "SUIT AND TIE" WHITE SUPREMACY ON TELEVISION, RADIO, THE INTERNET AND AMERICAN POLICY!

WE'RE NOT THE ESTABLISHMENT! WE ARE THE VOTERS WHO SUPPORT CANDIDATES THAT AREN'T THE NOISE! REJECT EXTREMISTS ON THE LEFT AND ESPECIALLY ON THE RIGHT!

YOU CAN'T FIX STUPID!

EXPECT MORE!

Let's make this clear: Large crowds do not determine election results. Many of the people who attend these rallies are from other states and they're just stans. Remember Washed Up 45, Bernie Sanders and Nina Turner lost heavily despite having the large crowds, the circus of attention and the endorsements.

They believe the cult of personality will be their key to victory. Most Americans see this and many of these rallies as noise.

Especially in a motherfucking pandemic where over 650,000 Americans are dying. By September we will have over 700,000 dead from the coronavirus.

The former president held a rally in a state where the coronavirus is spreading like a wildfire. 

Guess who also appeared at the rally?

The least productive lawmakers in Washington, DC and the conspiracy nut who wears the "Blacks for Trump" t-shirt is back.

Still steamed up over his election loss, Washed Up 45 heads to Alabama to promote his "America First" rallies along with Rep. Idiot Karen Greene (R-GA), Rep. Karen Brooks (R-AL), Rep. Karen Gaetz (R-FL) and a hodge podge of locals, known figures and a junk food media favorable to his bullshit.

The former president held his large rally in Cullman, Alabama.

Read carefully.

Cullman County has one of the state's highest COVID-19 cases and the state in general is running over 15,000 Alabamans dead.

They parked in the fields at York Family Farms in Cullman and joined a long line that passed Washed Up 45 souvenir tents doing a brisk business.

Brooks, who will speak before the former president, mingled with some of the people in line.

The rally attendants said many of the same things when asked why they came. They believe in the former president.

Chuck Phillips, 70, who lives in Cropwell on Logan Martin Lake, joined the line before noon, more than two hours before the gates opened.

“I’ve always heard about these [huge] rallies, and I always said if he ever gets close enough to Alabama, I’m going,” said Phillips, who said he has been a truck driver, mechanic, machinist and bartender. “Here he is in Alabama, so I’m not going to miss it. I’m here.”

The gates opened about 2 p.m. After clearing Secret Service checkpoints, people streamed into the grassy field to await the main program, which starts at 5.

Cattle farmer Daryl Mutter, 48, came all the way from Fountain Run, Kentucky.

“Our country is in a terrible situation,” Mutter said. “A desperate situation. A lot of people don’t realize it. [The former president], I think he has the nation’s best interest at heart, the working class people. And that’s my reason for being here.”

Tom Shaneyfelt, 66, a retired welder and Navy veteran, came from Cleveland, Tennessee, with his sister.

“I can’t believe the election fraud that’s taken place,” Shaneyfelt said. “We’ve got to straighten it out. We’ve lost this nation. We’ve got to get rid of this establishment that’s in. You see what he’s done in the last four years versus the first six months of this year. There’s no explanation for what’s going on right now except for corruption.”

There has been no evidence of widespread voter fraud despite claims by Washed Up 45, Brooks and others.

It's raining and pouring, the old man is boring!

A band belted out rock classics until rain started about 2:30. The crowd was advised they could return to their vehicles and be readmitted. Some stayed in the steady rain, many wearing ponchos. No chairs or umbrellas are allowed.

Authorities are expecting roughly 40,000 to attend. About 30,000 attended Rock the South each night of the outdoor concert in the same location last weekend.

David Fogle waited in line with his wife, son and daughter. Fogle, a California native is a golf instructor in Thompson Station, Tennessee.

He explained why he made the 90-minute drive to hear the former president.

“Just because he tells the truth about everything,” Fogle said. “I want my kids to experience it. I want them to know the country is still being fought for.”

Fogle said he moved to Tennessee from Orange County, California in April, partly because of the high taxes in California. He said he felt at home in the crowd today.

“You’re with people that actually have the same values and same beliefs,” Fogle said. “People out here actually fight for their values.”

The former president is scheduled to speak at 7 p.m. His last speaking appearance in Alabama was in Huntsville in 2017.

Alabama Republican Party Chair Karen Wahl said nine speakers are lined up to precede the former president.

Other speakers include Wahl; columnist and commentator Karen Starnes; state Sen. Karen Gudger of Cullman; Congressman Karen Aderholt of Haleyville; state Rep. Karen Sorrell of Muscle Shoals; Attorney General Karen Marshall; Lt. Gov.Karen Ainsworth; Sen. Karen Tuberville; and Brooks, who carries the former president's endorsement in the U.S. Senate race.

Covid be damned, we goin' to a rally.

Although the coronavirus vaccines can prevent transmission and hospitalization, the virulent Delta variant has been the source of a small proportion of "breakthrough" cases that can affect older and immunocompromised people.

Of course, there's folks who are fully vaccinated but end up getting the coronavirus. As with vaccines, nothing is 100%. The vaccines are capable of preventing the coronavirus. At best, it's a 94% prevention rate which means 1 out of 500 could be infected even if they're vaccinated.

President Joe Biden had hopes that Americans would take this shit seriously. Unfortunately, Republicans so fucking eager to return to power will keep Americans fixated on the culture wars. Now vaccinations are part of this culture war.

But those fighting the culture war by not vaccinating, not wearing face mask in public, not following protocols, and deliberately ignoring federal and international rules when traveling are going to be the first casualties of the war. 

With this pandemic mostly affecting states where Republican governors are, we may have to return to wearing facial protection and cutting back services to reduce the spread of the coronavirus.

We came so far only to have a bunch of selfish idiots set it back. Just because they hate President Joe Biden.

The Republicans are so devoted to destroying Biden and the country for what....to regain power.

Pathetic.

According to the CDC, there is still not enough information on antibodies for COVID-19 and whether they can prevent someone from getting reinfected. It still recommends that people with a positive antibody test follow recommendations for protecting themselves and others.

The coronavirus doesn't care about your age, race, gender, sexuality, nationality, religion, politics, economic or social standings. It doesn't care about anything. It's a living organism that causes mild symptoms that include: fever, sore throats, chills, respiratory issues, loss of taste or smell and other unknown symptoms. If you have a weak immune system or health issues, your risk increases.

Death does happen to at least 40% of those who are affected by COVID-19. 

If you're not vaccinated, your chances of death increases to 48%.

Healthy people can die from this. Take this seriously. You only have one life!
