It's a slight improvement over the idea that all the riots last summer were a right wing psy-op.

For the first couple months I had some empathy for these freaks but it is abundantly clear a large portion of the population will follow almost any order they are issued on the television.

I'm guessing the actual number is zero but it's pretty bad that's the highest the CDC could get the number.

I know some states are still doing the full-on hard police state thing but you don't actually need the CDCs permission to not wear a mask outside.

I actually looked at the list and the ONE THING vaccination gets you is outdoor dining without a mask... But most restaurants already let you remove the mask at the table.

The other thing is small outdoor gatherings but again, don't need CDC permission...

I've NEVER put on a mask outside this whole time. Only when I'm shopping because it's too much of a hassle not to (illegal in my state) and I had a job for part of the lockdown that required it.

"My favorite characters are Spider-Man, Superman, and Batman."

Good choices. Superman is one of the most wildly misunderstood (by modern audience) characters in comic book history... Odd because everyone knows who he is and what he looks like. (I'm mainly referring to the idea that Clark Kent is a disguise when Superman is in fact a humble, ordinary guy who is also an alien with insane superpowers.)

I also can't do Marvel and DC and focus on back issues. Too many garbage books at $5 and creators who openly hate comic fans.

Here's a couple "comics gate" associated guys who make comics. https://www.indiegogo.com/individuals/3778633/campaigns https://www.indiegogo.com/individuals/18535473

Boom Power Rangers

It sounds like Todd McFarlane is launching a Spawn universe. I haven't kept up with Spawn (I think I stopped around #170-190) but potentially interesting.

Why would anyone trust Wheeler on the topic of antifa. If I was in Portland I would NEVER call whatever hotline is set up because I would assume he is trying to flush out "snitches" for targeting.

The GOP have made it clear they have no interest in this issue. If they threw some support behind this maybe it would matter but I see no chance this ends up being consequential.
