It’s Sunday.
Not a current mood, yet, but well…
Confession time…
Sunday is the hardest day of the week to come up with a topic; or just a general feel for what the hell to talk about.
So small-ish update on the rona parents.
They seem better…
My oldest brother is now sick…
My oldest brother has colon cancer; possibly in remission, but I’m unsure how that works. He had treatment; had the tumor removed in 2020…
He’s also antivaxx–NewsWax watching Impeached Twice 45 supporting Republican–Conservative…
On the small-ish plus side, there is a chance, he wore a mask–the KN95–N95 kind, cause that’s what he’s been using since pandemic start.
Also…
I tend to go down some strange rabbit holes, thanks in part to what is shared in the comment section…
This morning before my mom called to tell me the news that she feels better; Yay…
But that now my brother is sick; Fuck all things…
I saw this…
The joke that’s not showing…
Before I saw the above…
I saw this tweet…
Someone need to update that list a bit.

Gene Simmons rips anti-vaxxers: ‘If you’re willing to walk among us unvaccinated, you are an enemy’
And I went he said now, when and did we talk about it?
I headed over to Google…
And found a Hill article dated November 11th, 2021…
In that article I found that indeed Kiss member Gene Simmons did in fact say that; to Steve Harkins of TalkShopLive…
I can’t embed it, sorry; but it starts at the 4 minute and 10 second mark of the interview.
That rabbit hole, lead me to Simmons’ Twitter account where he apparently told people the 2020 Presidential Election was not stolen…
Just FYI from 2021 and one of the Quaid’s from the list…
And as Big John shared in the Owl comment section…
This is a whole different rabbit hole, according to them;
At no point ever did Selleck ever conduct an interview with Breitbart News in which he said any of these words. Curiously, however, the words are lifted from a real Hollywood actor who did endorse Trump for president in 2016 — Jon Voight. In a March 2016 Breitbart article titled “Exclusive: Jon Voight Endorses Donald Trump for President,” that outlet published a statement from Voight that read, in part:
I, Jon Voight, can say, without hesitation, that Donald is funny, playful, and colorful, but most of all, he is honest. When he decided to run for president, I know he did it with a true conviction to bring this country back to prosperity. He is the only one who can do it. No frills, no fuss, only candid truths. […]
I am very disappointed at the talk show hosts, also spewing out lies and propaganda against Donald. Why, I wonder? The only thing I can think of is he represents a form of freedom none of them ever saw before, and they are bewildered about it, and frightened about it.

Because Selleck never said the favorable words in defense of Trump attributed to him in these viral articles, and because Selleck has explicitly stated he didn’t support either candidate in 2016, we rank the claim as “False.”

To me as a blogger, this is the worst thing that people can do, lift others words and say this other person said them…
I rank that up there with copying someone else’s words and saying you said them…
What the actual fuck is wrong with people?
Seriously, that’s just damn bullshit…
So, I guess I can find stuff on Sunday’s…
This is an Open Thread.
P.S.,
I’m not exactly ignoring the attempted coup being written in a draft EO from Twice Impeached 45…
I am however still in the process of trying to process that in fact a sitting President did in fact have plans to attempt a coup…
