GOP Guv. Tearfully Pleads Anti-Maskers To ‘Dial Up Your Empathy’ And End ‘Political’ Divide

Compared to his counterpart in South Dakota the North Dakota governor exudes sensibility. So now we know why there are two Dakotas.

The gov states the obvious, plus tears. Begs North Dakotans not to be total fuckwit assholes, not in the sense of please wear masks but in the sense of please stop harassing and threatening people who wear masks. Mind-boggling.

There’s your second mistake.
The first was in responding to the troll.

Because back in the day, the party in power wanted those two extra Senators.

Stunning. A Republican who is a sentient human. What is he doing with that fucking group of assholes? Maybe things are different in ND.

Pretty sure they meant Rip van Winkle, not Rumplestiltskin.:rofl:

Wow - It is bad when I have to check and explain my attempted joke to myself.

I got fairy tails crossed. I was attempting to reference Rip Van Winkle, not Rumpelstiltskin. No wonder it failed to connect so badly (as most of my jokes do).

:flushed:

It only took 100,000 dead and some of the most egregious dumb-fukkery ever seen on dry land for an R to put up the “whoa” symbol, and ask Rs to maybe re-think death threats over masks during a pandemic.

I have always liked both stories so you’re completely in the clear.

And dare I say … sleep well.

I suspect it’s one of those tells, getting the idiom wrong. Like easy as cake, piece of pie. You know, the kind of stuff English as a second language folks do in their first couple days working at the troll farm…

Yum!

A whole article and all these post and nobody mentions that wearing a mask is not about your safety, but everyone else’s?

Even a supposedly well-intentioned governor is so far in his bubble that he can’t get his justification right.

Absolutely right there with you. All those names.

All those lives.

As the Times so succinctly states:

An Incalculable Loss.

The irony is you wear gloves to protect yourself and masks to protect others. His politics notwithstanding, the savage is loose and the governor’s got a tough row to hoe.
