GOP Senator who is retiring in six months. Whoop de do.

Isn’t this the same guy who said during the impeachment trial that he wouldn’t vote to call witnesses because he wouldn’t vote to convict?

“help us get rid of this political debate.”

“Lamar!” Alexander apparently has little understanding of Trump.

“I’m just saying if wearing masks is important and all the health experts tell us that it is in containing the disease in 2020,…”

Forget about “containing” the disease. Let’s eradicate it. In the November election.

Gee, Lamar, you flabby bag of puss, are you worried that you’ll die from Covid-19? You ought to be, you maggot. You allowed Trump to continue in office. If there’s any justice in the universe, you will die of this plague. Slowly. Miserably.

Outrage. Everything now is outrage. You can’t go even one hour without seeing or hearing another fucking outrage caused by the madman in the White House, unless you completely unplug.

As we too slowly approach November, we will all see the cesspool containing the moral decay of Covidiot-45 deepen and thicken. There is no depth that he won’t dive beyond. Retweeting “White Power” while claiming he never heard the racist spew while the pandemic approaches a state of almost being wildly out of control. And these racist flag wavers don’t even pay any heed to the news of Russian bounties for American dead in Afghanistan. This is where we are as a nation now.

I’ve got only two good things to say about this. Come November there will be a historic landslide that sweeps the corrupt GOP into the trash bins where they belong. Come January, we’re going to have someone in the White House who really cares about our country, instead of a vile subhuman narcissist who only gives a damn about himself.

Fuck Trump.

Senator Alexander, you know what would really help? If Donald Trump were not president*. That would help a lot. And what would help even more? If a Democrat instead of a malicious, racist, science-denying and criminal moron were president.

That’s the ticket Alexander, it’s nothing more than a political problem, not a matter of trying to control the spread of the coronavirus.

You know what would have been even more effective? If you had convicted the motherfucker and saved the country a lot of grief when you had the chance.

Alexander then argued that it would “help” if the President — who has yet to wear a mask in public and has repeatedly expressed reluctance to do so — would wear a mask to “help us get rid of this political debate.”

Since Alexander cannot possibly be that stoopid, I hafta conclude he’s just lying now.

Trump wants a political debate in place of medical science – needs it.

Like a strung-out junkie with an Adderall monkey on his back.

Alternately passing out and peeing himself as he lurches from one temporary fix to the next.

Mask not what your country can do for you.

FOAD, Lamar. You lost the right to complain about ANYTHING, the second you voted against witnesses, compounded by your cowardly vote to acquit the Traitor-in-Chief.

Agreed. Blatant treasonous conduct by Trump that not even the dumbest of the dumb of the GOP can defend, yet TPM’s lone article about it is buried way down the page to make room for . . . rambling jibberish about masks from Lamar Alexander, the 900-year-old mummified Republican corpse from TN.

The bounty story should be front and center at all times.
