Oh, you don’t want to catch COVID-19 if your place of employment reopens during the outbreak? Well, maybe you should’ve thought about that before you decided to exist.
This whole argument—that life is full of risks, so let’s not bother attempting to reduce this one—strikes me as likely not very effective among the swathes of the electorate that want to keep on living.
This Tea Party Freedumb Caucus skum bag is supposedly my representative. He’s the only Republican sent by Maryland to Congress.
This idiot participated in a Reopen caravan protest on Saturday across Maryland. At its stopping point in Salisbury, he gave a speech comparing the measures implemented by Governor Hogan to control the spread of the virus “to tactics seen in North Korea and China.”
Harris’ seat has been considered ‘safe’ but Governor Hogan is highly popular right now (his popularity was at 69% in February and has gone up since then) and Hogan’s COVID-19 efforts have also received high marks. Harris may no longer be quite as safe as he once thought.
His Democratic challenger has not yet been decided - our mail-in primary is June 2nd. I’ve already put a donation aside for whomever becomes his challenger.

I forgot to add that Salisbury is home to three poultry processing plants, and many other residents in his district commute to poultry processing jobs in Delaware. His district is rapidly becoming a major state COVID-19 hot spot.
And, he claimed on Saturday that he wanted churches reopened - but the Archdiocese of Baltimore has already announced they won’t reopen until the state and medical experts say it is safe to do so - and only in phases and not reopening all at once.
Now we know why Maryland only has one Republican from their Congressional delegation…and this guy is an anesthesiologist for fuck’s sake.
Harris earned his B.S. in biology (1977) and his M.D. (1980) from The Johns Hopkins University. The University’s Bloomberg School of Hygiene and Public Health conferred the M.H.S. in 1995 in Health policy and management and also Health Finance & Management.[2]
Hopefully John Hopkins has raised their standards since he’s graduated. It could be he got into medicine just to make bank for himself. Pretty sure his next job will be as a lobbyist after serving in Congress, lobbying for the Health Insurance Industry, Big Phrma or some medical equipment company.
Btw, anesthesiologists are among some of the highest paid doctors primarily because they carry some of the highest liability insurance for themselves in practicing their speciality.
May I offer a suggestion for amending this message? Something that even this brain-dead moron could take in, mull over, and, maybe, one day understand?
I considered that while in the womb but figured, what the hell, what have I got to lose? So I signaled mom and here I am with fucking Trump as president.
