Josh Hawley is filing a suit against the NFL and Tampa Bay because he's challenging the results and he will be joined by Ted Cruz and Majorie Taylor Greene when they lead a group of people to NFL headquarters to retrieve the trophy for the Chiefs!
Their lawsuit contends that the liberal media doctored the results by aiming a laser at the satellites and manipulating the game everyone saw on National Television, because they the NFL was feeling guilty about what they did to Colin Kapernick re Black Lives Matter, and because Brady was from the North.
When contacted, Ted Cruz is now trying to lay the blame solely at the feet of Hawley, claiming that it wasn't him who was pictured signing the suit and Hillary Clinton was masterminding a plot from a pizza shop to bring him down, for which the evidence will be produced by Devin Nunes, when he emerges from the hedges he's been hiding in at the White House.
Can anyone dispute this didn't actually happen? Or that Hawley, Majorie Taylor Greene and Ted Cruz is now trying to steal the Super Bowl from Tampa Bay Buccaneers?

If you don't get the point then I am sorry. Maybe I didn't explain myself well enough or it's possible that you are too worked up about the post's implications, to want to get the point?

Or maybe I can. Remember, Hydroxychloroquine? Or bleach or how about sunlight? Is that Fake news?
How about when he got covid and received what? Any of the above? Is that hypocrisy?
There would be an uproar in America over those headlines above, if this was to happen. Yet over 70 million Americans questioned and are still questioning the election results to the point of committing murder and almost killing congress and senate officials and even going after the vice president.
It means that you can't differentiate between the truth from the lie and shows that the lie appears possible. Or, that you haven't read the previous posts for context?
Per Steve, stats posted were from compilation of several polls conducted in January 2021. Interested is seeing if these Republican stats remain the same after several days of trial.

Unethical, immoral people pose a grave problem to society! If our politicians are willing to lie brazenly and cheat, can you imagine the destruction they can impose upon society?
Why is North Korea a threat? Because of an unpredictable and utterly immoral individual who enslaves his own people and literally tortures and starves them into submission, yet using propaganda he is able to mostly have approval from the population. Putin, Bolsanaro, Erdogan, Saddam, Gaddafi etc all mimic the same pattern and look at the state of their countries.
Trump's tweets were able to fluctuate the markets which could have had horrendous consequences in some instances. Imagine if he had manage to start a civil war which I am not sure he hasn't actually begun?
Imagine you went to the mechanic to have your brakes replaced. He said that he had done it and you drove away and had a serious accident because they failed to work. He will be liable for some things but you might be paralyzed or worse! Remember that hurricane that Trump moved? The people susceptible to his lies, just like the anti maskers could die as a result! Lies have consequences which is why they are so frowned upon.
You don't need to convince me of any of this.
However, I and apparently another couple of posters questioned your post about the 70 million people so apparently your satirical response was lost on us.

According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, just 38% of nursing home workers participated in the federally run vaccination campaign for residents and employees of the facilities during its first month. Although those numbers likely have risen in the weeks since, and that tally doesn’t include workers who received a vaccine outside of their workplaces, they illustrate the problem.
A Morning Consult survey conducted in the first week of January found that 23% of health care workers said they would never accept the vaccine. Among unvaccinated employees, 38% said they feared long-term side effects. Health care workers appear somewhat more skeptical compared to the general public.
Some health care workers have developed deep mistrust of their employers and government leaders during the pandemic, after months of fighting for basic needs like masks and other personal protective equipment. They have watched the government bungle so many aspects of the COVID-19 response that when those same authority figures tell them to get vaccinated first, essentially to be guinea pigs for new vaccines, their messages aren’t always well-received.
The speed with which the vaccines have been developed and approved also gives some health care workers pause. Even the name of then-President Donald Trump’s vaccine development program, Operation Warp Speed, was a turnoff. (President Joe Biden has scrapped that name.)
“A trend we saw in our survey was that people were really concerned about the fast-track development timeline of the vaccine, how quickly it was going, Operation Warp Speed, all of these kinds of subliminal messages about, ‘This is fast. This was put together quickly,’” said Adva Gadoth, an epidemiologist at the University of California, Los Angeles who is conducting an ongoing study of UCLA hospital employees about their experiences during the pandemic. Though these concerns are unfounded, she said, health care workers aren’t getting the message clearly enough.
“Something public health needs to do a better job of is communicating that to the public and reassuring them that all these checkpoints are in place,” Gadoth said.
There are concerns about side effects, too, especially among women who are or may become pregnant, because the science is unclear about how the vaccines may affect pregnancies.
“They’re concerned that because they’re the first ones to go, something might pop up that wasn’t discovered before, and that they’re going to be the ones saddled with it,” Gadoth said.
In addition, health care professionals are susceptible to rampant false information about the vaccines just like anyone else, especially those workers who haven’t had the kind of advanced medical and scientific training physicians and senior nurses have. The health care workforce comprises a large and varied number of jobs, including home health and nursing home aides, hospital orderlies, cleaning staff, security personnel and more, and many of those jobs require no more education than a high school diploma.
Vaccine hesitancy “does not mean that our staff are dumb or aren’t making good decisions or anything like that,” said Mark Parkinson, CEO of the American Health Care Association, a Washington, D.C.-based industry group for nursing home operators.
“It’s just that there’s been a lot of misinformation out there. There are rampant rumors spreading on social media that the vaccine can cause fertility problems, which has caused concerns among many of the young women who work in our facilities,” Parkinson said during the Kaiser Family Foundation event.
There are special concerns for Black and brown health care workers, who are disproportionately represented in health care sectors like home health care and nursing homes and who have good reasons to view the medical establishment and the government warily. Members of these communities can point to evidence in the form of historical crimes against Black people, like the infamous, decadeslong Tuskegee experiments on Black men with syphilis, along with chronic disparities in access to medical care and poorer health outcomes compared to white people.
“If you don’t believe that’s real and has a real effect, this experience has shown that that is still out there,” Parkinson said.
Black and brown communities the hardest, and they are getting vaccinated at lower rates than other segments of society. Especially with limited supplies of vaccines, Allen worried she was stepping ahead of someone who might need the protection more than she does.
“As a woman of color, especially a Black woman, when you make certain decisions about your health and your health care, there are certain things that you take into consideration that maybe others don’t,” she said.
IS THIS FAKE NEWS?
This is what happens when you don't have a credible source to get your information from! When someone lies to you a few times or hurts you a few times, Do you still trust them?
Fox, OAN, Brietbart etc repeatedly lies or offers an alternative version of the news and does this repeatedly on a loop, with dedicated viewers who never seek other news sources and therefore has no idea what other people are saying, therefore no reason to question what news they are consuming. Also, more importantly they are so THICK AND UNEDUCATED, that they cannot even use education to Porifice THE INFORMATION they are reviewing!
If you are unable to tell that Trump, Cruz, McConnell, Kushner, Hawley, MTG, Rubio are consummate LIARS, YOU WILL CONTINUE TO LISTEN TO THEM!
I don't listen to anything they say, not even a single word, because I know that they are incapable of speaking the truth!
They have watched the government bungle so many aspects of the COVID-19 response that when those same authority figures tell them to get vaccinated first, essentially to be guinea pigs for new vaccines, their messages aren’t always well-received.
Which authority figures are the public not trusting?

I think it's a general mistrust of "the government" which are the authority figures, not one person or entity in particular. Even Trump supporters feel this way. I work with an ardent Trump supporter and when I reminded him Trump wants people to be vaccinated his response was "I don't trust the government". I work with another Trump supporter that simply says "I don't know what to believe anymore" (I think she leans towards conspiracy theories) and doesn't trust the authorities telling her to get the vaccine.
I think too with African Americans there is a history there of them indeed being guinea pigs, going back to the Tuskegee Syphilis Study.
I think that some of us that got the vaccine still might not necessary completely trust the government, but we do trust the medical establishment and science.
I do agree with the idea that trusting that the government has our best interests at heart has been broken.

I agree with a lot of that. I asked because I havent seen Trump out front wanting people to get vaccinated as much as I have Fauci and others.
I don't trust the government much, either. Like you, I trust the medical establishment, or more specifically medical people I know well as well as the actual papers on the trials that I've read.

I think the big pharma companies are even less trustworthy than the government to be honest. Pfizer has its fair share of skeletons in its closet.
