    Odd how much “freedom loving Americans” really hate anything resembling liberty anywhere.

    Would I be a jerk if I pointed out what you used to prove as the existence of alternate facts is in fact an opinion?

    There are no alternate facts. Those are just facts. It either is or it isn’t.

    The fact that each will be the nominee means the sanity test for all intents and purposes already has been administered. With a failing grade.

    Your alternate fact is an opinion. A correct opinion. But still an opinion.

    Try this one:

    Fact: Switzer averaged more victories, and had a higher winning percentage than Johnson.

    Fact: Johnson won 2 Super Bowls to Switzer’s 1. Johnson also had a higher winning percentage than Switzer and averaged more victories per season if you throw out his first 1-15 season which included starting two rookie quarterbacks and was the first season of a full rebuild from Tom Landry’s last 3-13 season.

    Opinion: Looking at facts, Johnson was a better coach than Switzer.

    Alternate Fact: Bill Parcells won three Super Bowls with the Dallas Cowboys in the 1990s with John Elway at quarterback. If you don’t believe this, you are a member of the Deep State and if this triggers you, go find a safe space.

    See the difference?

    The reality is that facta alternatus is not exactly in short supply in political circles, particularly especially partisan ones.

    Not to be that guy, but the distribution apparatus was in place long before Biden took office.

    The distribution issues that did occur were largely driven by supply constraints, unique cold chain requirements, and individual state allocation issues, and were also largely unavoidable.

    And, regardless of how much Trump was or wasn’t personally involved, getting two safe and effective vaccines developed that quickly against a novel virus on an mRNA platform that had been only theoretical for the previous 20-some years was an incredible achievement.

    I'll take "What The Cultural SJ Left Would Never Concede In A Bajillion Years" for $2,000, Alex.
