In the middle of a phone call with TPM Thursday, Randy Payton, a city employee and the incident commander for two federally-backed COVID-19 testing sites in Dallas, paused for an update on the latest figures.
While wishing pandemic to go away is magical thinking and irresponsible…
Maliciously defunding Covid-19 testing is Criminal Negligence!
Trump Death Clock = 76,613
Estimated U.S. COVID-19 Deaths Due To POTUS Inaction
Hard-working boots on the ground.
Leadership? Nowhere to be found.
If only it was the kind of virus you could shoot with a pistol. Then Texas could have shown us the way.
Trump:: “I could mess with Texas and not lose any votes!”
We’ll see.
Time for Texas to cough up the bucks. If Uncle Sugar won’t pay, and it is necessary for public health, it’s worth it. Seriously, how much are we looking at? Texas leadership must show if they care about the health of their people, or if they are going to follow the feds pretending it doesn’t exist.
Meanwhile, Trump’s numbers continue to fall.
Just now at 538: 55.2% Disapprove / 40.5% Approve
That’s a D-A spread of 14.7%, slowly inching its way to 15%, which I expect it to reach by next week. I also predict 20% by August, if not sooner, and 25-30% by the election.
He’ll be lucky to carry Alabama if that’s the case.
Let Dumbfuckistan burn; the new Confederacy should lay back and enjoy the government they’ve earned without aid.
OT
Carpenter, who was on his way to the State Capitol when he stopped to take the photo, said he was punched and kicked in the head, neck and ribs, and suffered blurry vision and a possible concussion. “I don’t know what’s worse, the beating or having someone turn something so personal that happened to you and weaponize it against you,” he told the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel after Trump’s comment.
It’s amazing how these people are generally not just the ideological and cultural descendants of southerners who supporters the confederacy, but much more often than not their literal, biological descendants. They’re like unreconstructed malcontents. They just WILL NOT give up even though their cause is, always has been and always will be unjust, insane, and immoral. It’s almost like they’re a different, defective subspecies of humanoid. They are cultural and biological dead-enders.
‘Count up yer dead!’
‘Count up yer dead!’
How about taxes? Tax guns and ammunition. Tax the super rich megachurches as well.
So when I was Googling Giroir’s name yesterday a news item came up that he is leaving in 4 days. So have they named his replacement as the maladministration’s testing czar?
You mean like making oil barons and megachurch pastors pay taxes? The horror!
You are not mocking Greg Abbot are you?
Cruz and Cornyn are facing their “Come to Jesus” moment. Will it be Donnie or Jesus?
“Sixty-eight thousand tests” since the sites got running in March, he marveled. “How ‘bout that? That’s a lot of tests.”
“2.5 percent of Dallas County! Hot damn, we done solved this sonabitch!”
[Note: Does not include people who have had multiple tests, which is probably a substantial proportion of people who have been tested.]
I don’t trust any cowboy who doesn’t have scuffed boots. Just sayin’
Trump’s tactic of “reading minds” and “discerning personal motivations” is so foolishly transparent in its lunacy, but his base continues to have unfiltered loyalty to him. I would call “unfiltered loyalty” as stupidity.
