where were all you idiots 4 months ago?
Oh I know, hiding and hoping trump could drag you out of the mess he created.
Now you want to tread the swamp water with a mask on and save your slimy butts.
I hope you all drown in the muck.
People are not that stupid to see what is happening. At least most of them.

there is NO political debate

people who wear masks do it for protection of themselves and others, they are conscientious and courteous

people who think wearing a mask is a political statement are not those things, they are the ones making it political

itā€™s really not that hard to understand Lamar, stop with the bothsiderisms already

When the polls start going against Trump the Trumpers will become less Trump and maybe start acting like Americans.

Well, assholes, since IMPOTUS never admits heā€™s wrong and his reaction under pressure is to doubledown on what heā€™s doing, I think the chances that this is going to work are pretty damned close to zero.

If yā€™all had developed spines and held him to it months ago, it might be different. No way heā€™s gonna capitulate now.

Dickheads, the lot of you.

A GOP Senator is shocked, just shocked he tells us to find that Donnie Benadick Beingadick sets a bad example to his constituents.

ā€œJust because the horses have already left the paddock is no reason not to close the gate.ā€
ā€” Lamar Alexander, horse(shit) breeder

Not at all. Generally the most trustworthy person for any advice is the drunk at the end of the bar when itā€™s getting towards closing time. Heck, Iā€™d take their stock picks then every time.

There is only one possible response to this:
ā€œIts Tirany! Your not gonna take away our freedoms libā€™s!!!ā€

A mask alone is not enough, unless thereā€™s also a gag involved.

Did Sen. Alexander found his ā€œmisplaced valuesā€ now that he is retiring? Or is he is just staring at his Covid comorbidity?

Almost 4 years late and 128k Covid Deaths shortā€¦

Truth be told, RethugniCONS do not really give an effing s**t about keeping Americans safeā€¦they are just worried about their re-election and Trumps dismal polls!

Before issuing an opening statement, Alexander noted that his mask was off while speakingā€¦

Yeah, well, Iā€™ll start listening to what you have to say once the gloves come off, i.e., regarding your pussyfooting around with our derelict president.

Apologies in advance if Iā€™m being overly tolerant, but:

Fuck off, Lamar. YOU had a chance to at least TRY to rein in the Traitor-/Murderer-in-Chief, and you curled up in a corner, probably because you were afraid of the Trumpistas shouting at you, you fucking quisling.

Delete Your Self, traitor.
