very happy, to ignore this whole thing. we don t want to talk about john fetterman s stroke. it s awful. it s depressing. john fetterman should have dropped out of the race in may with the encouragement of his loving would a, which apparently he doesn t have, but instead they re pushing him, the democratic party is pushing him, to run for the senate, despite his inability to speak. they re doing that because they want power. for the rest of us that means we are now required to pretend that the sad brain-damaged guy is actually incredibly brave and impressive. in other words, they re demanding that we ignore what we can see with our eyes. that s called the big lie. and four days before the midterm elections it s everywhere. here s joy read of msnbc telling you that inflation is not real. you may think, you may imagine that you re paying more for spaghetti and two by 4s and eating oil. oh, no. it s a figment of your imagination. it s a diabolical lie of the republican party in washington
