Well I wish to hell Greg Abbott, Dan Patrick (especially) and Ken Paxton would start reaping soonest.

And the fat motherfucker at the top would resign.

And how many others have to run and get tested because they were in proximity?

So the Covid virus isn’t a hoax, won’t miraculously disappear, and has no political loyalties???

I think Karma enjoys her work. I know I do.

And DeWine was one of the only GOP Governors who was at least trying (feebly) to get a handle on things. There are far, far more deserving GOP COVIDIOTS that should succumb.

Well, considering the law of large numbers and Trump’s razor are operating in tandem, maybe not so many more?

Is anyone keeping score of high-level Republican and Democratic politicians who have been infected so far? I suspect our side is doing better, but I haven’t been tracking it.

I’d like him to reap as well as resign.

I haven’t either and I’m curious because I think you’re right.

I wouldn’t want to be unfair to him personally in my thoughts about this; I thought I heard he’d done or said something not helpful the other day and cussed him for a moment. The problem with covid as an instrument of retribution is that the instrument is awfully blunt and is harder on the innocent than the guilty. People who ignore the obvious protective measure have higher odds of getting it but not high enough. And seriously I wouldn’t really wish this on anyone. Politicians who’ve impeded the fight deserve to be voted out; private citizens who have deserve to be given a hard time about it. Mostly I wish people would smarten up about what needs to be done. :angry:

DeWine has been one of the responsible Republicans. I wish him a speedy recovery. The Republicans will need him after Trump.

I hate to say it but under our current “leadership” a lot of us will get this thing and it’s scary. I urge everyone to watch or listen to some Fox News. The disinformation is vile, scary and dangerous.
