All done to bring down the Orange Man. And make no mistake, the virus didn’t emerge naturally. It was engineered and released on purpose to further its creators’ goals.

Went to Greer’s Ferry Lake in Arkansas, the fricking boat launches were all closed. Apparently riding in an open lake, in your own boat, was a life threatening activity.

Took the family to Tunica Hills Clark Creek hiking trails in Mississippi. They had an 18 wheeler blocking the road with men and guns not allowing people to go hiking outdoors.

Best part of Covid was the amount of time spent with family finding outdoor activities to do....just obviously not in Mississippi where they lost their fricking minds.

Edit: Stupidest thing I've ever done in my life is wear a mask to walk through a restaurant with 70 people sitting down at tables who didn't have to wear a mask because they were sitting down. And as soon as you sat down you could take the mask off. LOLOLOL :banghead:

The Rouses by my house never had any store guidelines for masks but the security guard would tell me shite every time I walked in. My son was 4 at the time and I never made him wear a mask. One day we walk in and the new lady tells me the maskhole was out with Covid. He's back a few weeks later when we walk in and I ask "how's that mask working for you?" He tells be "at least I didn't die."

Good times.

Most embarrassing time to be an American. Fear will forever be the motivator, it works too well.

I've never seen people so eager to lose, and not even question authority.

The Governor of Michigan roped off certain aisle of the store that contained things like seeds and paint, but left other aisles open! But yeah, it had nothing to do with power and was only about safety!

There were some good times, like going into Publix and seeing the directional arrows in the aisles and purposely walking the wrong direction w/o a mask and seeing the horrified look on people's faces...

I mean, what a time to be alive

Covid is the biggest fraud pulled off in the history of this planet. I will keep fricking saying it.

Feral black people being allowed to loot and burn whatever they wanted in big cities, while pastors were arrested for holding church services.

Anyone who got in on the BLM hysteria is a piece of shite.

A crazy arse woman from my hometown would post on Facebook every single night about a college bar that was operating in late 2020 early 2021. She was very clearly stalking kids who tagged the bar on social media to show how overcrowded it was. Would call the bar owners monsters and the kids selfish. She would tag the mayor and the city’s main account on each post. It was genuinely the only reason she had to exist

State of Washington closed recreational fishing. Think about that for a minute.

You should have quoted him the lines from Open Range where Kevin Costner is talking to the men at the bar and asking why they don’t do something about the town bully.
One man says,” I didn’t raise my sons to simply die.”

Costner says,” You’re men ain’t ya. You might not know this, but there are things that gnaw on a man worse than dying!”

You forgot closed gyms.

Found it extremely ironic they made this about public health but close the gyms for everyone to get fatter and unhealthier.

EVERY single thread on the OT was about Covid. You might have 1 or 2 threads that was non-Covid related. But man, that was depressing.

I'm still pissed that Chicken never made a Covid board.

Looking back on it, absurdity is the perfect word for it. Mom and pops put out of business because they had to close, but Walmart and Target were essential. People walking backwards down grocery isles because they missed something and the isles were one way only.

The fact that it took more than two weeks to flatten the curve is absurd. I think they lied to us.

We are slowly seeing the educational and social impact on school children resulting from this clusterfrick. I just don’t see how the majority of parents will stand for another shutdown.
