Today on Tommy T’s Obsession with the Freeperati – soup or Trooper edition

Ok, folks – when we last left our Freeper Fandango, they were still bickering over Sgt. KMA.

Here’s the article at the beginning of the thread :

Washington trooper who defied state vaccine mandate and told gov to ‘kiss my a–‘ dies from COVID-19 NY Post ^ | 1/29/22 | Kyle Morris Posted on 1/29/2022, 6:44:09 AM by Callahan

A Washington State Patrol officer who defied a statewide vaccine mandate and signed off for the last time by telling Democratic Gov. Jay Inslee to “kiss my a–” is dead from COVID-19.

Occasionally, even a Freeper ditches the “Kung Flu” cult :

To: Blennos
Cruel comment or not, thousands of so-called Darwin Awards have been bestowed on these very pages during my time on FreeRepublic. I cannot begin to count the times I have read phrases like “Play stupid games, win stupid prizes” and “Hold my beer” or heard about Karma and of course Schadenfreude. I have zero doubt that if former officer Lamay had simply gotten vaccinated he would still be alive right now, perhaps enjoying a nice hot cup of coffee, looking forward to a relaxing weekend after a satisfying week on the job and counting the days to a happy retirement and generous pension. I hope no others have died as a result of following his well-publicized lead. We don’t know whether he was treated or self-medicated with Ivermectin, Hydroxychloroquine, our some other cocktail of drugs and vitamins, but as a celebrated poster child for the antivaxx movement, I am sure he had access to all of the above and I would not be surprised if he had Dr. Zelenko and the My Pillow guy on speed dial. Sorry you are no longer with us, Mr. Lamay. I wish you were enjoying that nice hot cup of coffee right now. Now, if you’ll excuse me, I need a refill.

They can mock him all they want. They are low life.
They missed it.
He died a free man.

“I have zero doubt that if former officer Lamay had simply gotten vaccinated he would still be alive right now…”
Ditto 100%.
I have NO clue why so many have chosen this hill to die on.

Excellent choice of words.
As to the “why” part:
That’s it for the “Trooper” part of today’s post – the “Souper” part below the fold :

Today on Tommy T’s Obsession with the Freeperati – “A bridge too far” edition

Tommy T

Ok, people – I’m back, but “Obsession” posts may be short for a while.

This one is a lulu :

Pittsburgh bridge collapses on day Biden to visit city to talk infrastructure
msn ^

Posted on 1/28/2022, 7:21:28 AM by bryan999

No injuries were immediately reported, according to Pittsburgh Public Safety, which reported a “confirmed bridge collapse” at around 6:50 a.m. A photo from KDKA shows at least four vehicles, including a Port Authority bus, on the bridge near Forbes and Braddock avenues, which splits the Point Breeze, Regent Square and Squirrel Hill neighborhoods of Pittsburgh. Another vehicle is shown dangling near the edge of the collapsed bridge.

Police, fire and EMS personnel are responding to the collapse.

Public Safety said there was “a strong smell of natural gas in the area.” Nearby homes are being evacuated due to the gas smell, according to KDKA.

“Please avoid if at all possible,” the agency tweeted.

The collapse comes the same day that Biden is visiting Pittsburgh to discuss infrastructure. As part of his trip, the president will visit the research and development hub of Mill 19, which was part of the infrastructure deal passed by Congress last year.

The White House did not immediately respond to a request for comment early Friday.

How could this possibly have happened?
The Freeperati are on the case!
To: bryan999

This is not an accident. Biden needs to prove why he’s spent trillions of dollars.

This is not an accident.Maybe it was a “false flaw” event?

Why of course!

All Uncle Joe had to do was get all the police, the Pittsburgh Public Safety Department, all the news media, and the people in the vehicles stuck on the bridge in on the plot.

Dirty cop Wray probably sent an FBI explosives team to blow the supports right on Q. Did a CNN camera truck just happen to be about to cross??

See??
(sorry I forgot to include the FBI)
To: ptsal

Bet the inspection history on the bridge will be read closely by lawyers and forensic engineers. /sI bet that both the inspection history and the recent sales records of plastic explosives in the area were inadvertently erased on a hard disk!

Yes, folks – they really ARE that stupid.

I wonder if the Biden syndicate brought down the bridge to get his bill passed.

I told you they were this stupid.
To: 98charlie
I use to have to drive through the squirrel hill tunnel to get home. It was always backed up and if it was rush one was in for a long wait. I can’t imagine how bad it will be now.

I know. I used to work in Oakland, and sometimes would go home across that bridge. If I was stuck at the light on that bridge, sometimes I’d actually be worried about how much bouncing was happening…and that was 15 years ago.

Today on Tommy T’s obsession with random ruminations – wealth worship edition

Tommy T

Wealth worship – or, why Trump is revered by the supporters his policies hurt the most I’ve been marveling at the slobbering knob-laving that lower -middle class and upper lower class Trump supporters display. The disdain they feel for their fellow not-so-rich is not a new phenomenon, and has been described in the past thusly: “If you can convince the lowest white man he’s better than the best colored man, he won’t notice you’re picking his pocket. Hell, give him somebody to look down on, and he’ll empty his pockets for you.” This explains the right fringe’s disdain for those … Continue reading Today on Tommy T’s obsession with random ruminations – wealth worship edition
