Steve Reed commented yesterday that the No King participants are supposedly paid by George Soros, according to the GOP and MAGA.
Now this is the same spiel provided by the acquaintance who flatly stated that no Christian should participate in No King rallies because the were nothing but a device to divide Americans. (Um...hello? This is pot calling kettle...) Anyways, when I pointed out that many religious leaders felt it was their faith that called them to be there, her response was about the undercurrents of evil behind these sort of things and spoke at great length about George Soros.
I felt sad about it but i blocked her. Once someone falls down that conspiracy rabbit hole, there is no reasoning with them.
Anyways, so I put it out to you all: who got paid yesterday? Anybody?
Nothing much to report, but I did want to say that I did try my scalloped potatoes today, my dehydrated potato slices and my 'instant' sauce mix. Interesting enough, the recipe for the sauce was good. However the amount of liquid that she added to the dehydrated potato slices was just not enough. The thing is, I knew it. I questioned it, but made the decision to go with the instructions as provided. I shouldn't have. I did go back and actually doubled the amount of liquid, added more sauce mix. The potatoes did soften up. The verdict was the flavor is perfect, and probably if they had baked an extra 20 minutes, it would have been perfect.
So...I guess that product is fine. I just need to do some math, figure out the proper liquid to potato ratio.
No one (including my boyfriend and me) got paid. The lies are more and more ridiculous yet somehow believed by people. It makes me want to tear out my hair!
ReplyDeleteIsn't it crazy?
DeleteMagas believe and say the darndest things.
ReplyDeleteYou know, AC, I am not convinced that some of them DO believe it. They just use it as a verbal weapon in their arsenal.
DeleteWatching MAGA lose their minds over the No Kings events has been a clear view into their mindset. Thinking that George Soros would pay 7M people to attend is beyond laughable. Did any of them ever consider the logistics of paying those people? This is just weapons grade stupid. BTW, you asked how far our drive is from Spokane to Tucson, 1,511 miles driveway to driveway.
ReplyDeleteEeep. That is a lonnnnnng haul.
DeleteI do love a good Captain PIcard meme. I am taking comfort in this: The 3.5% rule is a political science concept proposing that a nonviolent movement with the active participation of at least 3.5% of the population has never failed to bring about change. The "rule" was formulated by Harvard professor Erica Chenoweth, based on her 2011 book Why Civil Resistance Works, co-authored with Maria J. Stephan
ReplyDeleteYou know, I heard about that some time back but forgot about it. Thanks for the reminder!
DeleteSomeone would have had to pay me NOT to attend the protest! Linda in Nashville
