This is no laughing matter, how do you mandate a vaccine with this catastrophe? It exposes the whole lie and just when they wanted to mandate kids.
yes, it is a laughing matter to me because I have a serious reaction to this jab and have been suffering greatly. I am laughing at the truth of one who reaps what they sowed. maybe he will repent and come to know the Lord through this. The Lie was greatly carried out by this man and now he suffers from his own hand well, amen.

You reap what you sow is a comedy to some and a horror story to others.

laughing is not a sin guy :) I will laugh and I have had COVID-19 and recovered thank you, Jesus. I live in CA and have not moved like many others who were too much of a wimp to stand against the oppression of this Current Governor. God has kept me and my family. I see it as poetic justice. In fact, the word of God also says that HE too will laugh at those who have taken up plan's against HIS Holy Word in the book of Psalms. Governor Newsom shut down Christian churches while leaving bars and mosques open.

He was sued by the Supreme Court which found him guilty of violating our civil rights. And had to pay the church for that. To that in joy, I laugh and say Praise God :)

I would have checked OTHER if you had that option....

I started out as an Independent as I didn't know what party I belonged in, but found out I couldn't vote in primaries and as I paid more attention to politics I felt I was more in line with the Republicans so I switched parties and was a Republican up until Bush Jr ticked me off by saying he was the decider which I believe politicians are working for us and we as a nation are the ones making the choices for the country....

So with that I switched to the Democratic party not so much because I believe in everything they do but that I was angry with the way the Republican party was heading and I wanted to vote in the primaries and that is how I became a Democrat.

I feel both sides have made mistakes and since these are the two main parties both are to be blamed for how we got to where we are now. I also believe that we need the differences in parties to help try and keep the country in balance because too far to the right or the left is usually never a good thing.

So my insides tell me that I am still really an Independent as I have a moderate personality and like things to be balanced. However, our political environment is what it is and there is a huge gap between the parties with both sides trying to blame the other for the problems to which both sides have helped us get here....

That's this old ladies version of the mess we are in today politically.

I also have had covid and instead of CA I live in NYC. When they mandated the vaccine I resigned. I have no intention of staying in a place where I am not welcome and NYC has made it very clear I am not welcome here. Besides, why would I pay city and state taxes to such a fascist regime?

I wouldn't call those who left California wimps, after all with each person who leaves the political influence of California shrinks and the tax base shrinks as well. After all you are the one supporting those who have taken up a plan against His Holy word, your tax dollars support that regime.

Luke 9:5 5 If people do not welcome you, leave their town and shake the dust off your feet as a testimony against them.

It used to be that NY was the third biggest state, but Florida has surpassed them. I would love it if half the people move from NY and the state loses half their electoral votes. Likewise with California.

Love New York I got my jab so I could go there for the second time this past April to see my Grandaughter. Second time I spent Easter in the big Apple. Yes I would call them wimps :)

I was brainwashed Republican and the first president I voted for allowed 9/11 to happen. I have been pretty hard on myself for it but I was just a kid at the time... I've grown up and learned that just because a president says "God bless America" it doesn't make him a good Christian man or even a Christian at all.

I despise both parties, but on occasion they have some candidates I was sort of interested in. I thought Ron and Rand Paul were the more trustworthy candidates for the Republicans and thought Tulsi Gabbard was the best candidate the Democrats had to offer. Of course, none of the candidates I thought were best for their respective parties had a chance to actually win. In order to win, you have to be untrustworthy and lean hardcore right or hardcore left.

72% of those living in the inner city are not vaccinated. If they all move out NYC collapses and all of these fascists would be warned. House prices would fall, apartment buildings would be 50% empty if not more, everything in the city would collapse. Schools, garbage on the streets, no police, no nurses or orderlies in hospitals, it would be catastrophic. NYC would lose 50% of their tax revenue, NY state would also see a massive loss in tax revenue. You might even see banks, stock broker firms and even the stock exchange have trouble staying open. The airports wouldn't be able to stay open full time and you would have shut downs in the airports, subways, trains and buses. It would be chaos. Those who are left would be so enraged they would throw the bums out immediately.

Also it eliminates the argument that those who aren't vaccinated are endangering those who are. Anyone getting sick and going to the hospital couldn't blame the unvaccinated, they left the city.

Already 40% of the small businesses are declaring bankruptcy, imagine 72% of the customers leave, what that does to those who are still standing. Boarded up buildings, empty streets, NYC would become a proverb.

This is the Lord's strategy, not mine.

Ya. I liked Ron Paul. And Tulsi Gabbard was indeed the best of the democrats...by far. But you're wrong about hardcore right. There is no major political figure now that leans hardcore right. None. Republicans just serve as gatekeepers.

Those who want a hand out are becoming democrats.

Those who want a hand up are becoming republicans.

Those who want for nothing are becoming children of God.

Here's a good article about this
https://www.pewresearch.org/politic...shifts-further-educational-racial-divergence/

Since 2018, comparably small shares of registered voters in both parties have changed parties. About one-in-ten voters (9%) who affiliated with the Republican Party or leaned Republican in September 2018 now identify as Democrats or lean Democratic. An identical share of voters (9%) who two years ago identified as Democrats or leaned Democratic now align with the GOP.
While individual-level change has not resulted in a significant net shift in the overall balance of party identification in the electorate, that is not the case within demographic groups. For instance, among white voters without a college degree, a larger share of 2018 Democrats now tilt to the GOP than vice versa (12% vs. 6%). The reverse is true among white college graduates: 4% of 2018 Democrats in this group now associate with the GOP, while 8% of 2018 Republicans now associate with the Democratic Party. Among nonwhite voters, 10% of 2018 Democrats have moved to the GOP, while roughly twice that share of 2018 Republicans (21%) have moved to the Democratic Party.
Voters who have not wavered in their party loyalty are more engaged in politics and demographically different than those who have changed their party affiliation one or more times over the past few years.

Majorities of both Republican (61%) and Democratic registered voters (63%) who consistently identified with or leaned toward their parties in five surveys between September 2018 and July 2020 say they follow what is going on in government and politics most of the time.



That compares with 36% of voters who currently align with the Republican Party but had shifted their party identification at some point in the past two years and 41% who are currently Democrats but had changed their party previously.
