It’s just too delicious watching Louie volunteer to be a guinea pig on the national stage.

I wish him well.

The problem is that he might not actually get sick since not everyone who catches the virus gets symptoms. He’ll end up making things a lot worse by telling everyone that hydroxychloroquine worked for him. Then again, people like Gohmert always make things worse.

I’m calling Bullshit! Louie doesn’t have the Covid. This is just a chance to say “I had it, and the drug the Orange Plague loves cured me!”

The good news about Ohio’s government response is that DeWine is being reasonable about fighting the pandemic. Otherwise he is still a Republican.

OK yesterday I was all saintly about not literally wishing for his death but this just annoys me and I hope he gets a fatal arrhythmia and falls on the ground dead. All you wingnuts can take it and die, bastards.

With Universal Mail-In Voting (not Absentee Voting, which is good), 2020 will be the most INACCURATE & FRAUDULENT Election in history. It will be a great embarrassment to the USA. Delay the Election until people can properly, securely and safely vote???

Most likely not going to take HCQ and most likely has a mild case of the rona.
He’ll be fine and not even display symptoms. Unfortunately.

I want an independent doc to administer it to him on national TV. Otherwise, the motherfucker is lying, just like Trump was when he said he took it. They’re fucking cowards. They’re not going to take any medication that may cause them major side effects and pain and disability. They just want others to suffer by taking it.

But even if he is lying, I hope the virus pounds that stupid mofo. Some people just deserve to get what’s coming to them, and Gohmert also deserves a case of chlamydia to go with it.

Irrelevant. However, I would like if every candidate could prove they are “worthy” by taking (and passing) the Citizenship test which is required for immigrants.

Yeah, I contain multitudes. Also the garage said they can’t inspect my car before Wednesday so it’ll be overdue for five days and that’s annoying and I just saw a video of a bunch of southern idiots cussing out a guy with a BLM sign and that made me mad so yeah, he can die and be damned.
