Following clashes with Fauci and Birx, president brings in Dr Scott Atlas, who has also pushed for college football to resume

I swear Trump gets stupider and crazier every day.

[tena]

I’m sorry, is this a real person? Scott Atlas? I shouldn’t make fun of a name but this doesn’t sound real.

Where the hell is OSHA in this pandemic? Aren’t they supposed to look out for workers? I have not heard word one from ANY OSHA employee…did trump already kill the agency?

[pmm080]

someone this stupid should not be carrying a gun

[yellowbeard]

There’s that word again: Kakistocracy. This word was added to my vocabulary when this administration blundered its way into existence.

[yellowbeard]

Some say he shrugs a lot.

[mattinpa]

And these are the guys who regularly get nervous and shoot people because they’re scared someone will pull a gun and keep them from going home to their families. “Hands! Hands!” Bam bam bam and down the guy goes. Saw a video of exactly that maybe three days ago. But this, no mask needed, it’s all good.

[jstrummer]

No masks allowed. But all deputies need cheesy mustaches.

[inversion]

At least we (USA) know why we’re here.

With a bit of luck and effort he will make his pronouncements from Kentucky, not DC.

The Sheriff is also not a big fan of fire extinguishers, handrails, tempered glass and prominently marked pedestrian crosswalks.

@ktpinnacle

Well, the Sheriff is a dope, isn’t he. He says he can find and equal number of professionals on both sides of the argument. He should bone up on his definition of a professional.

He’s probably getting that line from watching Navarro on TV, who has been saying there are so many different doctor’s opinions now, you can find anyone you want to support any point of view. .

It’s Ocala FL of course. I’m familiar with that area; my sister lives there because it’s a pretty part of the state and not expensive. However, being rural it’s Trump country. Not as red as some places, but it went 62-36 for Trump in 2016. So this asshole’s job is probably safe.

I wonder how many deputies are going to sue Sheriff Clodhopper for endangering their lives.

Did evolution bypass Florida? Or is it inbreeding?

[dominic]

Woods is a barking mad megalomaniac.

And he referred to officers “as my employee”. No they are not, they are employees of the state. As I was saying, a raving fucking narcissist. Makes for a good Republican.

[zach]

On the contrary, has a grown up name because he dropped the “-Joe” after the “Billy” when he turned 30.

@generalsternwood

It is a true capitalist paradise where asking people to be considerate to others and wear a mask gets one laughed or sneered at–

… or worse.

It’s bullshit like this that makes a large part of the world look upon Americans as not only dumb, but maliciously dumb. This sheriff is going to get people killed, but damned to hell if he’s gonna wear a freaking mask - or his deputies either. This level of stupidity just boggles the mind.

Posse Comitatus was a thing in parts of western Kansas in the 80s. Believers would only obey county sheriffs, nobody of higher authority since they thought it unconstitutional
