unapologetically loud sneezer

[D. Alec Zeck @Alec_Zeck]

Here’s a tough pill to swallow.

No one was literally forced to take the shot. No one was literally forced to enforce any of the Covid measures.

Out of fear of what could happen, people chose to take the shot, and people chose to “just follow orders.”

If each of the people who made those choices had instead done what their heart knew to be right, irrespective of the consequences, there would have been no consequences, because a critical mass of people would have defied every bit of nonsense coming from the authorities.

That’s how much power we actually have.
But instead of exercising it, people gave it away.

@AmericaPapaBear Yes, I do. Including some dead from turbo cancers.

[Premium Saltine @thebadsarah]

@BobFakeNameEsq It is not a fact; it is an undisputed falsehood.

@Tlbarr79 @sues86453 @naomirwolf Saying that a poke gave you heart troubles is different from saying that the poke is responsible for all heart troubles.

@Patrickwebb It would be wrong of me to hope he really is locked inside his house, afraid to leave, wouldn’t it.

MILEI VEUT SUPPRIMER LES REMUNERATIONS DES ELUS QUI VOTENT DES BUDGETS DEFICITAIRES !!!!!
« Si la politique ne fait pas ses devoirs, c'est la politique qui en paiera le coût, et non le peuple. » Javier MILEI
Milei propose au vote une loi d'équilibre budgétaire, avec pour sanction financière la suppression des rémunérations des les élus et dirigeants publics, afin d'éliminer l'incitation politique à vivre durablement au-dessus des moyens de l'État.
Ce projet de loi concerne : président ;vice-président ;ministres ;secrétaires d'État ;sénateurs.
Une fois la loi adoptée, les provinces seront invités à appliquer le même mécanisme pour leurs exécutifs régionaux.

@dcopechatter RFKjr wrote an entire book about him and Fauci hasn’t sued him. This is an empty threat from a puny man who can’t bear that his image is crumbling and doesn’t have any other way to stop it. Guess what Tony you can’t stop it. Truth always comes out.

[Jeffrey A Tucker @jeffreytucker]

Tony Fauci invoked the Fifth Amendment 111 times during today's hearing but during Covid he was the voice that shredded the Bill of Rights.
First Amendment
Churches and synagogues faced capacity limits or outright indoor bans while secular “essential” businesses (liquor stores, big-box retail, casinos in some places) operated with fewer or no comparable limits. Pastors were arrested or charged for holding services (e.g., Rodney Howard-Browne in Tampa; Tony Spell in Louisiana). The Supreme Court intervened multiple times, finding certain New York and California rules discriminatory against religion (Roman Catholic Diocese of Brooklyn v. Cuomo, South Bay United Pentecostal Church v. Newsom, Tandon v. Newsom). Gatherings for worship, protests, or social purposes were restricted or banned for extended periods. Dissenting scientific or policy speech (lab-leak theory, natural immunity, vaccine efficacy/safety data, off-the-shelf therapeutics, mask efficacy) faced coordinated pressure on platforms via government communications; this became the core of Missouri v. Biden / Murthy v. Missouri litigation, protesting the largest First Amendment censorship effort in modern U.S. history. Vaccine passports or proof requirements further conditioned access to public life, employment, and venues.
Second Amendment
Some jurisdictions (Los Angeles and Ventura Counties in California, parts of New York, Massachusetts, Michigan, New Mexico, Washington, New Jersey, Pennsylvania) classified gun and ammunition dealers as non-essential and ordered them closed for days to weeks while other retailers stayed open. This blocked acquisition of firearms/ammunition. The 9th Circuit later held certain California county closures violated the right to keep and bear arms because they wholly prevented acquisition. Background checks and sales still occurred in many places via defiance or exemptions for multi-purpose stores.
Third Amendment
Was there quartering of soldiers in private homes? Yes. House parties were banned. Weddings, funerals, and parties were broken up. Drones flew the skies hunting for too many cars parked out front. Venues were fined for violating capacity limits. Hospitals could not do elective surgery and dentist offices were stopped from doing basic cleaning. The elderly dying alone in hospitals were kept there, not allowed to be home with family. Families prohibited from visiting elderly homes for which they were paid.
Fourth Amendment
Contact-tracing programs, exposure-notification apps, and location/data collection were  warrantless surveillance Tracing requiring data on contacts of infected persons and were extracted and uploaded to to bulk metadata programs. Quarantine enforcement and some testing/isolation orders proceeded with limited individualized process. Privacy bills were introduced in Congress but broad mandatory apps were not uniformly imposed.
Fifth Amendment
Stay-at-home orders functioned as extended house arrest for healthy people; “non-essential” businesses were shuttered by executive decree, destroying livelihoods and supply chains without individualized hearings. Vaccine mandates for federal workers, contractors, military, healthcare, and (via OSHA) large private employers conditioned employment on an injection—compelled medical treatment without fully informed consent. Courts struck down the broad OSHA private-employer mandate and some federal ones; military religious-accommodation denials produced extensive litigation and career penalties. Bodily autonomy and the right to refuse treatment were repeatedly invoked.
Sixth and Seventh Amendments
Court closures and delays produced massive backlogs. Speedy-trial rights and civil jury trials were postponed for months to years in many jurisdictions, leaving defendants and litigants in limbo. This was treated as logistical necessity rather than deliberate suspension, but the practical effect was widespread justice delayed. Vaccine injury? Forget it: the courts won’t hear you because shot makers had a liability shield.
Eighth Amendment
In prisons, COVID-positive or exposed inmates were placed in conditions described as windowless, filthy, high-security isolation cells with severe restrictions on movement, showers, and property—conditions previously associated with disciplinary or death-row housing. Courts found some deliberate-indifference failures; broader claims about overcrowding, inadequate medical response, and isolation as de facto punishment were litigated under “cruel and unusual” standards.
Ninth Amendment
Unenumerated rights claims centered on bodily integrity, medical autonomy, freedom of travel and association, parental rights over children’s schooling/masking/vaccination, and the freedom to skateboard, surf, or just take a walk. Lockdowns, school closures (with documented learning loss and mental-health impacts), and pediatric mandates were sweeping peacetime restrictions on ordinary life.
Tenth Amendment
Federal vaccine mandates (OSHA for private employers, contractor rules) usurped traditional state police powers over public health. The Supreme Court invalidated the OSHA rule as exceeding statutory and constitutional authority. Prolonged emergency declarations by governors suspended ordinary legislative processes in multiple states. The overall package—lockdowns of the healthy, discriminatory religious limits, speech suppression, business destruction, and conditional access to work/society via vaccination—were the greatest peacetime civil-liberties intrusion in modern U.S. history, second only to slavery. Courts ultimately reined in some of the most extreme measures, especially on religion and the federal private-employer mandate, but many policies operated for months or years first. Empirical debates continue over necessity versus excess and net harm.

But by all means, Dr. Fauci, invoke YOUR rights.

@RoyIsThaTruth Says the man who launched a smear campaign against Nolan’s friends the moment Nolan was reported missing, mmmmmmk

[Premium Saltine @thebadsarah]

@DTDavisPhD @thevivafrei Well, Donald Trump got convicted. And that was more political than legal. So if they could manage to find the right judge and jury to convict a former President, for “crimes” that didn’t get anyone killed, then real justice might have a shot with Fauci too.

[Premium Saltine @thebadsarah]

@DTDavisPhD @thevivafrei Isn’t Viva Canadian?

Anyway I believe Fauci’s pardon does not extend to the states and I hope one of the states does man up and prosecute him.

[Premium Saltine @thebadsarah]

@thevivafrei I believe they can, and I’m hopeful one of them will.

[Premium Saltine @thebadsarah]

@JoeEsjay Man, you ain’t kidding. That’s my new policy.
