Anyone that would attend that college in the first place already had their head screwed on backwards. This is the good Christian college where the previous president was having an incestuous relationship with his daughter for 19 years, for Christ’s sake. She accused her dad and then committed suicide whereupon he summarily denied it. Hillsdale also has a history of being a pretty bigoted environment. The school is against affirmative action and ensuring diversity is a part of their student body. Its a ignorance factory imo.

Really, they’d prefer that we die at home.
The causes of the excess death numbers are contestable: in a hospital, deaths come with a diagnosis.

Street Lights and Stop Signs are on his list too. Must go. They limit freedom and are icons or prior tyranny.

Does the governor even have this authority?
Oh yeah. You’re right.
Our lives depend on whether there is a Republican Governor or a Democratic one in a state.

I teach at a large public university (40K students + faculty & staff) in TX.
It is not going to work.
Chaos and illness (esp among BIPOC and working-class populations) suppresses Dem turnout. Donald intends to kill people in order to stay out of jail.

Yeah…we got all kinds of “outdoor venues” in Jax. They can go sit on the river banks and view some polluted water or camp out on the Fuller Warren bridge and count cars. JFC!!! It’s Florida assholes. Most of us conchs are fine with 95 degrees and 95 % humidity ( I love it ) but WTF is a guy fro Ohio or North Dakota going to do outside in Florida’s august? Faint? Heatstroke are a few options.

Get a court stay and wait for him to die.
But then the asshole resigned. (wiki)
George Charles Roche III (May 16, 1935 – May 5, 2006) was the 11th president of Hillsdale College, serving from 1971 to 1999. He was led to resign following a scandal surrounding an alleged sexual affair between Roche and his daughter-in-law, Lissa Jackson Roche, and her subsequent suicide.
…
After the scandal Roche moved to a remote cabin in Colorado. He visited Michigan briefly in 2005 to celebrate his seventieth birthday.[3] He died on May 5, 2006, in Louisville, Kentucky.[4][5][6]

If this virus primarily afflicted wealthy white people we would be locked in our houses with armed enforcers driving up and down the streets with loudspeakers blasting out the rules to us. But since the disproportionate number of POC being killed by the disease has become known, there is a group of Republicans who suddenly jumped back and embraced the false choice of “freedom” against common sense public health policy. We are officially in Crazytown and it is very dangerous to your health.

“Stand your ground” meets Mandatory Maskhole
As Trump would put it… this is HUGE!
Simon & Schuster announced Thursday that Too Much and Never Enough: How My Family Created the World’s Most Dangerous Man sold more than 950,000 “through Tuesday, July 14” — the book’s first day.
It’s a new record.

It’s an apocalyptic thing, but I don’t think they’ll find the end result justified the means. But since COVID-19 can cause hallucinations, I guess they can convince themselves they’ve been raptured.
I don’t disagree with you at all. All I had to do was teach Freshman English for a couple of semesters to understand the awesome power of belligerent ignorance. It’s just so depressing to contemplate. But I think our idiots have proven that they’re willing to double down again and again on stupid, no matter the cost to themselves.

The Devil Went Down to Georgia, ran for Governor, and killed everyone.
What a catchy tune…

Well, it’s a good thing this guy purged the voter roles, suppressed likely Democratic votes, and stole the election from Stacey Abrams. Just think how bad things would be with a smart, strong, competent governor in office.
