Come on McConnell what are you a chicken shit? Send kids to school, endanger their teachers/family. Cut off unemployment and make workers go to work (with no ability to sue their employees) but you fucking piece of shit, no way you will go and be near your “party members” in Florida.

Hell they only had 8935 new cases and 119 new deaths today (a new high in deaths) and only 589 of those infections today were in Duval (J-ville).

God, and you can’t go be with the 5-time draft dodger at his Reichsparteitag

Trump approval at 538 just slipped to 40.1. Disapproval 55.9. One hears they’re thinking of making copies of statues to take to the rallies, though, so I’m sure those numbers will improve very, very soon.

And he could talk to them. Discussing your situation as POTUS with images of former presidents and whatnot isn’t without precedent.

Would be hilarious if no senators seeking reelection went.

Would make for great ads… not so much to change the minds of voters but to tweak Trump, let his own responses to such and ad be his undoing…

And Pat Roberts of Kansas. So that’s seven out of 53 Republican senators. And it’s only Thursday.

According to the Thugs, they may wish to hold the RNC CON-Vention outside.

(1) In Florida
(2) In August

The depth of the stoopid is breathtaking. Even if the obvious hazard of the effects of (1) and (2) are overlooked, the victims (er…participants) of this clusterfuck are going to be about three centimeters from each other and maskless.
