It is like they were saving the special stupid for today.

COVID-19 vaccines are now available in South Florida, and the rules on who can get a shot, where and when can be confusing.

Here’s what you need to know:

WHO CAN GET COVID-19 VACCINES IN FLORIDA AND WHO CANNOT? DO YOU NEED PROOF OF RESIDENCY?
Florida is giving vaccines to healthcare workers, long-term care facility residents and staff, and people 65 and older, including snowbirds. Florida does not plan to require teachers and students to get the vaccine, even if one meant for children becomes available by next school year.

Florida does not have a statewide residency requirement to get the COVID-19 vaccine. This means if you live in Miami-Dade, you can get the vaccine in Broward or vice versa.

“Was that too confusing for you, ye of Little Brain?” says the Herald.

As for the where, the same article calling you stupid lists a long list of places where you can get shots and how to make the appointments.

They do believe themselves superior.

Seen at Lowe’s yesterday:

And in case you missed the joke, it comes about the pic of one of the Capitol Trespassers holding a bunch of flexicuffs and a tweet that became a rolling joke.

Intelligentsia tends not to be so.

Seriously, Trump is the worst dictator ever. By definition, dictators seek and help other dictators so they can protect each other’s back, but “Dictator” Trump apparently broke with that tradition and pushed back against them and for Liberty in those countries.

But Fear Not! The Incoming POTUS* will save those poor Strongmen from the Ravages of Orange Man Bad!

They will be safe!

An admitted Antifa member and independent journalist was arrested over the stabbing of two Trump supporters outside the state Capitol in Albany, N.Y. on Wednesday. One of the victims had an eviscerated bowel and required emergency surgery.

Alexander Stokes Contompasis, 37, of Rensselaer, N.Y., has been charged with felony first-degree assault, second-degree assault, two counts of criminal possession of a weapon and second-degree menacing over the stabbings of two men that occurred during a brawl in East Capitol Park between Antifa and pro-Trump “Stop the Steal” protesters.

Journalist charged over Antifa stabbing attack in Albany

Although I am already taking this with a grain salt since in all probability the charges will be very reduced or even dismissed, I want you to see this as if this event had happened outside the political microscope of favoritism.

Here is the video and what we wants starts around 10:45. Mr. Contompasis is wearing a purple garment (jacket/hoodie?) and makes him easier to track.

I will give you the first attack since the argument could be made (barely) that he came to the defense of a third party. But the rest? After retreating the way he did several times, every time he re-engaged became and independent event he chose to do and IMHO IANAL opinion, no longer covered by the first defensive claim.

Melissa Carpinello, an attorney for Contompasis, claims that her client acted in self-defense, Times Union reported.

“I believe that when the facts of this case come out, it will show that my client was defending himself from an unprovoked attack by self-identified Proud Boys, a radical racist organization,” Carpinello said.

And again, if he was charged outside the political spotlight, he would not have a chance in hell and her attorney would be jockeying for a deal. In times like we are having? I would not be surprised if a GoFundMe account would soon be overflowing with cash for his future vacation in Tahiti.

And that means if you happen to do something similar, the best you can opt for is a chance at parole after the first 15 years of prison.

Leftists and Anti-Trumpers attacking the Capitol Police for not sufficiently defending the Capitol.

Yeah.

This is outrage for the sake of outrage, the thrill of victory, the sensation of trampling on an enemy who is helpless.

This is lunacy.

Liz Cheney supported the removal of President Trump which infuriated Republicans who have demanded she is removed herself from the House leadership.

And who comes a-running defending her? Congressman Dan Crenshaw (R-Moms Demand)

So either Texas does the Arizona thing and keeps the Patched Democrat in office till he dies or he gets removed the next election he is due.

Rinos are also bigger in Texas.

I have been thinking about this a lot.

Towards the end of the Civil War, Lincon said at his second inaugural address:

“With malice toward none with charity for all with firmness in the right as God gives us to see the right let us strive on to finish the work we are in to bind up the nation’s wounds, to care for him who shall have borne the battle and for his widow and his orphan ~ to do all which may achieve and cherish a just and lasting peace among ourselves and with all nations.”

As you go through Conservative social media, you see the same videos posted over and over again.

Riots from Trump’s inauguration.  Riots from Portland, Seattle, Minneapolis, Kenosha, Chicago, etc., this summer.  Video of the CHAZ/CHOP and statues being pulled down.

Congresswoman Maxine Watters saying “Let’s make sure we show up wherever we have to show up. And if you see anybody from that Cabinet in a restaurant, in a department store, at a gasoline station, you get out and you create a crowd. And you push back on them. And you tell them they’re not welcome anymore, anywhere.”

Senator Ted Cruz being chased out of a restaurant with his wife in DC by a mob.

People on Twitter celebrating the beating of Senator Rand Paul and the shooting of Congressman Steve Scalise.

All the coverage of the pee-pee tapes and Trump/Russia collusion, including Congressmen Eric Swalwell and Adam Schiff saying they had evidence.

What happened on Wednesday didn’t happen apropos of nothing.  It was pent up anger from the previous four years of #Resistance at all costs.

The way I see it, we have three choices of how to move forward:

One:

We let bygones be bygones.  Tone down the rhetoric, dismiss or reduce most of the charges against the Capitol stormers, and draw a line in the sand that any political violence from this day forward – regardless of who is doing it – is met with the full force of law, and any inciteful rhetoric from any member of the government will be met with the full disciplinary force of the body.

Two:

We hold people accountable.  Censure and expulsion charges are brought against Watters, Pelosi, AOC, Omar, Tlaib, Schiff, and Swalwell as well as Republicans.  Antifa and BLM are subject to mass arrests and full federal charges.  There is equitable bipartisan punishment.

Three:

This becomes a purge of the Right.  The Right becomes an oppressed minority.  The Left refuses to let go of the thrill of victory, the sensation of trampling on an enemy who is helpless, a boot stamping on a Trump voter’s face, forever.  There is pushback, more violence, and The Troubles come to America.

I believe the best option is number One.

Congress takes a break and goes on vacation until the inauguration.  No talking shit to the media.  They stop pouring fuel on the fire.  They reconvene on the 20th and we start fresh with equal application of the rules and law and one common moral standard.

Or this all goes to shit.
