"Lazy ass people if they can't get off their fat asses and make it to a polling place, [View all]

on election day."

That was Megyn Kelly on Friday. She was commenting about the California primaries and the amount of time it takes to count ballots. She was specifically attacking mail-in voting. She actually said we don't need to make it easy for people to vote.

Fuck you Megyn Kelly!!!

Mr. Dahlia and I started using mail-in ballots during the pandemic. We continue to do so because we remain cautious of closed in places - Covid is still an issue.

In case you didn't know it Megyn, there are lots of people who are physically unable to get to the polls. Some are disabled. Some are elderly. Some don't drive.

But you know all that, don't you? You are tasked with spreading propaganda and sowing division in this country.

When I am in charge of this country - I am going to ban people who are stupid, or who pretend to be stupid, from having access to microphones and time slots. Get your sorry ass a megaphone and a big field...or a remote mountain top. Or better yet - a cave, so you can listen to your own echo.
