What the hell? Everyone knows rainbow Fentanyl is too strong for children! I'll be taking my kids to the tie dye heroin neighborhood where the doses are regulated, thank you very much.

Ah! I miss the good old days when all we worried about was razor blades in apples. Like what kid would take an apple over candy.

Yes, the razor blades in apples seem so quaint now.

I was so little back when I first heard of razor blades in apples, 5 maybe 6 years old. My grandmother had my poor mother cut up any fruit we had in our Trick or Treat bags (which was 1 apple between us 4 kids). My response then was, “Who eats apples when there’s candy?” Dad still stole a few Snickers and Mom squirreled away a couple of Heath bars.

And then followed by the HIV/AIDS scare of hypodermic needles stuck in movie theater seats. This kind of urban legend goes on and on and on and where it stops nobody knows....

back in the day, my favorite treat on Halloween was candy apples. There was one house on my usual rounds that always had them. Years later, I moved into the house next door. And realized that my neighbor, who had been living there for donkey's years, was in fact the woman who passed out the candy apples.

We were given home made stuff too plus the occasional nickel was always a welcome treat. This was when a pillowcase with eyes and mouth cut out was an acceptable costume.

"how about some critical thinking, people?" Man, did you nail it. The Republicans want to keep people as unaware and dumb as possible. I mean, if people were able to clearly think and reason, then they'd wake up and see they're being had. 🤦‍♀️ The propaganda machine is winning over at Faux News...even when they ADMITTED "we lied to you", the gullible still watch that crap. I hope the Smartmatic lawsuit ruins them....or at least weakens them.

It's going to get worse. Have you seen the stats on home schooling? It's now become — by a wide margin — America’s fastest-growing form of education. I despair over what that portents for the nation's future.

If rainbow candy fentanyl WERE a thing, it wouldn't be spread by the drug dealers, much less immigrants--it would be the nut cases who tried, for their own reasons, to harm kids. The same nut cases that put poison in Tylenol bottles. Halloween as a time of attack on kids has been pretty thoroughly debunked. See https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Poisoned_candy_myths.

The point of terrorism is to spread terror. It doesn't have to involve a physical attack to do so. These Fox Floggers are, in fact, terrorists. The agenda is to spread hate for political ends--note the use of the word "rainbow" to push a particular hate.

I’m 83, so when we went trick or treating, we went right after school, in daylight and parents stayed home to give out candy to other kids. The butcher shop around the corner gave out cold hot dogs, and kids loved them. There was only one size candy bar in those days, so that’s what we got. No one ever checked our candy for needles or razor blades, and we all lived through it. Oh, and when the street lights went on, we had to go home immediately.

If you ever want to see acrid smoke coming from the ears of a wingnut, as the two family brain cells rub furiously together, try this:

When they propose any nut prediction, ask them how they would tell if it didn’t come true.

The idea that someone might fact check their own thinking is so foreign that it makes them melt down in rage filled gibbers.
