Joanne Wright (R), running for Congress in CA, explains the oranges of COVID19

The Corona virus was man-made. Bill Gates is one of the financiers of the Wujan lab where it was being developed. I wouldn’t put it past them and by “them” I mean everyone from Adam Schiff to George Soros, Hillary Clinton and the Pope.




sounds reasonable enough to me, eh?

when she is the Republicans' responsibility.

What does 'oranges' mean, though?

Scary shit - she used to be a teacher - from Ballotpedia:

"She earned a bachelor's degree from Scripps College and a master's degree in education from Claremont Graduate University. Wright's career experience includes working as a real estate broker and a teacher."

And she's an anti-vaxxer. Of course.

Feb 2020

Oranges are native to China, and in several languages the word for orange is literally "Chinese apple". So she's referring to the underlying conspiracy to - well I don't know exactly what. And the sun's corona is orange, sorta. But it all ties together, people!!!

OK, enough trying to think like a trumper. She more likely just can't spell.

I'm watching Steve right now, I rarely miss a stream, even the late night ones. He has the best coverage. I don't know if you were watching last night, probably around 7, he had a meltdown about the CDC not releasing enough info, very out of character for him.. it all has got to get to him sometimes. Do you ever use the live chat?

case studies usually. He only works with facts and often gives me a comforting feeling vs. the other channels I watch sometimes, that scare the living hell out of me.

other than Rachel, Chris Hayes, Lawerence O'Donnell, etc. We reached a scary new level this week when they began covering the story.
I had been really let down by the media when they were pushing the flu narrative, probably because I had been watching the horrifying events unfolding in Wuhan.

That's a great conspiracy theory!

It's the primary: anyone with the required number of signatures or filing fee can be on the ballot. Usually the more creative loons save up to get on the state-wide senate primary ballots so they can get their ravings out to more people (they're allowed to put statements in the voters' guide that gets sent to all registered voters). We had one the cycle before last who IIRC traced all our problems back to Franklin Pierce.
