A workmate lives in his district, was telling me that Golf Courses have remained open because they are essential services…people (him included) moved there to play golf year around.

Just when you think the derp cant get any thicker …
These morans
The ones that argue against the masks , Ive have been relaying this little parable
The health department tells you to wear a mask and you ignore it
When the city water department calls and tells you to boil water do you ignore that too?
Just as deadly or do you like E-coli

The sad news is this moron probably will get lucky and avoid contracting the virus he wants the rest of us to die from.

As a member of the arizona chapter of the national fascist cult, he wants the entire country to experience the suffering and death that the arizona fascistgop has condemned their state to. That way the fascists in arizona won’t look so bad.

Right. Because if you just shut your eyes and pretend hard, there isn’t any virus at all. Welcome to Wonderland. The new GOP branded America where disease and death have no dominion. Only real America happy talk holds sway.

In a statement issued Thursday praising the June jobs report, Biggs ripped Fauci and Birx by accusing them of “causing panic” by contradicting President Trump’s “goals and actions for returning to normalcy.”

You want “causing panic”?

This, cribbed from Josh’s current “Explosive and Out of Control” EdBlog, should cause panic.

That’s what “breakout” looks like.

“We can protect our most vulnerable from the COVID-19 outbreak while still protecting lives and livelihoods of the rest of the population.”
I’d like to see how he plans to do that…

He’s saying this while the numbers in Arizona are exploding? The only thing big about Mr. Biggs is his chutzpah.

It’s really depressing that Republicans are doing this in the midst of a pandemic…they somehow think that they are going to score political points from people refusing to protect their health and the health of others. I don’t see how this goes any way but poorly for them…assholes like Biggs may keep their protected seat, but the rest of the nation isn’t as easy to win as his seat, and as more people get sick and die they are just going to look worse. Whoever came up with this strategy is either a complete monster, or is working to destroy the Republican party from the inside, the policy is really that bad.
