We have documented gigabytes of all those assholes lies, propaganda and public admittance of purposely promoting lies and we the people have no power to remove them other than wait 2 years to vote them out?
This is or should be criminal intent and qualify for accelerated removal from government or whatever job they hold. All these people should be considered to have permanently forfeited any rights of legal protections or considerations as what they are doing is creating death to innocent people.

The GOP confronts a hijacking by the anti-vaccine crowd — meekly
"The Murdoch variant spreads Merchant of death [...] Call it the Murdoch variant. And it’s proving to be deadly. While a staff of fully-vaccinated hosts rage against an extraordinarily safe and efficient vaccine, Fox News is doing what no other outlet has done in the history of cable news, or even broadcast television has done — it’s deliberately getting people killed during a public health crisis by feeding eagerly gullible red state viewers a mountain of lies. [...] For the most part, they’re not “vaccine hesitant.” Those “hesitant” people make up a much smaller portion of the population and for a variety of personal, historic, and religious reasons they lean against getting the shot. The defiant tens of millions though, are part of a larger movement that gladly risk infections and spreading the disease in order to own the Libs. Period."
Murdoch pushed Trump for election. Murdoch and Koch and Sinclair are a powerful American trio pushing conservative policy in America. Conservative policy means anti-Democrat policy. Whatever that is. An uncaring cruelty underlines most all of it.

The year was 2015, and the keen political watchers at the Associated Press began noticing a counterintuitive trend at the state level. Vaccine skepticism, then generally understood as the territory of coastal liberals, began to find champions on the opposite end of the political spectrum.
“As vaccine skeptics fight laws that would force more parents to inoculate their kids, they are finding unexpected allies in conservative Republicans,” Nicholas Riccardi wrote. Riccardi pointed to Democratic-controlled states like California and Washington moving to make it more difficult to avoid vaccinations for children, amid measles outbreaks. But suddenly Republicans in states like Colorado, Maine and Minnesota were on the other side of the debate.
Increasingly, Republicans must confront whether this is a shift they are comfortable with, and whether it’s good for the party. Because it’s happening — with little real resistance.
But Tennessee went significantly further than that. It prohibited its health department from not just encouraging children to get the coronavirus vaccines, but also sharing any information about the vaccines. What’s more, the state is preventing it from giving children who have received one vaccine dose reminders about second shots, and also from communicating with them about vaccines more generally. This isn’t just about the coronavirus vaccine, but rather vaccines that include measles, HPV and others.
In recent months, questions have been asked about whether the GOP’s resistance to the coronavirus vaccines would soon spread to other vaccines. That is seemingly being answered in real time.
And indications are the trend will quite possibly continue.
For one, polling has indeed shown Republicans not just being skeptical of the coronavirus vaccine — which remains authorized on an emergency basis — but also shifting for years toward opposing vaccine mandates and more general vaccine skepticism.
Gallup in 2001 asked parents whether they thought it was important for their children to get vaccinated, and it was an overwhelming consensus issue across the aisle. Both 93 percent of Republicans and 97 percent of Democrats said it was at least “very important.”
By 2015, as debunked links between vaccines and autism proliferated, vaccine skepticism ticked up slightly across the board, with 82 percent of Republicans saying vaccinations were “very important,” compared to 88 percent of Democrats.
By 2019, though, the partisan gap began to yawn. The GOP’s belief that vaccines were “very important” dropped to 79 percent, while Democrats stood at 92 percent.

To be clear, whatever one thinks about vaccine mandates and the right to refuse certain vaccines — something on which Republicans might logically be more in favor of personal choice — these numbers point to doubts about the vaccines themselves.
Other polling has also pointed to Republicans having a more generalized skepticism of vaccines than Democrats. A Washington Post-ABC News poll .. https://www.washingtonpost.com/politics/2021/07/07/gops-very-stubborn-vaccine-skepticism/?itid=lk_inline_manual_23 .. this month showed 93 percent of Democrats either had gotten or planned to get the coronavirus vaccines, compared to just 49 percent of Republicans. And many Republicans say this isn’t coronavirus vaccine-specific; polling from the Kaiser Family Foundation shows about 1 in 8 Republicans say they are refusing the vaccine because they “don’t trust vaccines, in general .. https://www.kff.org/coronavirus-covid-19/poll-finding/kff-covid-19-vaccine-monitor-june-2021/ .” So there are more Republicans who say they don’t trust vaccines, period, than Democrats who are forgoing the coronavirus vaccine for any reason.
How did we get to this point? A big reason is that Republicans have taken a largely hands-off approach to the vaccine skeptics in their midst — and in some cases proactively given them a platform.
To this point, though, both Carlson and Johnson, as well as those state-level Republicans, have gotten a mostly free ride from their GOP allies.
Shortly before the Tennessee news broke Tuesday, Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-Ky.) and Sen. Roy Blunt (R-Mo.) encouraged vaccines at a news conference. But when McConnell said he was perplexed by the inability to get more Americans vaccinated, he got pushback.
“Respectfully, though, it isn’t all that perplexing,” a reporter said. “There are Republicans who are casting doubt on the vaccine.” The questioner mentioned Johnson specifically.
McConnell effectively waved it off: “I’ve already answered the question about how I feel about this. I can only speak for myself, and I just did a few minutes ago.”
The situation carries huge parallels to many others in the Trump era. There is a small but very passionate and active portion of the party pushing a more extreme view of things. Party leaders are saying something quite different, but largely declining to directly rebuke that wing.
Those party leaders, though, have seen how that hands-off approach can lead to extremism infecting their party, most notably and most recently when it comes to the idea that the election was stolen. The Tennessee move should probably lead them to ask themselves whether they’re comfortable with the same thing happening with the vaccine-skeptic movement, allowing it to hijack their party over their mild objections.

Ok. Reasons why the most conservative conservatives have gone anti-covid vaccine. P - One, because they want to get on Fox and being an idiot anti-vaxxer who doesn't really care about living as long as she or he can, nor about helping any others live longer, helps. P - Two, just to be anti-Democrat. Now, if Biden says yes we gotta say no. Like it used to be for them with Obama. P - Three, because they are cruel SOBS. That dealt with more the first time we saw the Bloomberg article, here [...] And the fourth, because the GOP have moved so far to the right the only way the fringe - the true Trumpers now - can differentiate themselves is to become evermore captive to the three Ns - Nonsense, Nihilism and NUTS. https://investorshub.advfn.com/boards/read_msg.aspx?message_id=164939204
Legislators Are Not Stupid People. So What’s Behind Their Stupid Behavior? [...] According to Dr. MacLean, the Koch network’s goal — and the goal of all legislators in thrall to the Kochs’ PACs — is to weaken unions, suppress voter turnout, privatize public education, undercut climate science, roll back existing environmental protections, dismantle the social safety net and, of course, stack the courts with sympathetic judges. To enact that unpopular agenda, they’ve had to make common cause with the religious right.
Indeed, virtually every bill introduced in Tennessee’s General Assembly this legislative session is designed to outright the religious right(by, for example, introducing an anti-abortion bill that can’t possibly survive legal scrutiny), diminish the legislative power of blue cities, and, above all, demonize anyone who can be painted as a needy “other.” ----- [You can bet ALEC would have written much of the legislation in virtually every one of those 43 states. 2011 - ALEC Exposed .. big bad and ugly legislation source .. https://investorshub.advfn.com/boards/read_msg.aspx?message_id=164893834
