I hear tRump wants to get rid of tiktok now that its been used by a bunch of tweens in an effort to thoroughly humiliate him. He’s got his national security team trying to get it banned from the US as a Chinese threat due to its ability to hack personal information from its users. It seems that some in the media have accepted that narrative at face value, even after what happened to tRump in relation to the app in Tulsa. Not sure I know enough about tiktok to assess the validity of tRump’s claim but it has that special whiff of revenge by this maladministration on his behalf.

We can giggle and sneer because these folks chose not to wear masks.

All we can hope for at this point is that the legislators learn something from this.
But, gotta be honest here, I doubt they will.

It was those people who took our flag away that caused us to get infected.

Governor Tate Reeves was going to pray this away back in March. If everything is God’s will, then obviously it is God’s will for the Mississippi legislature to catch COVID.
Some prayers are answered.

Remember, these assholes purport to believe in a God who employs collective punishment for individual sins. I can’t believe I’m saying it, but good job, Jehova!

Is this enough to change who has a majority in attendance?

One of these centuries, Mississippians will realize just yammering about Jesus is not going to protect you from all of life’s harms. You actually have to meet Jesus halfway and at least try to avoid getting infected in a pandemic. I’m no theologian but that seems clear enough.

Theoretically, if all of the 26 legislators infected were state senate GOPers, that could flip the chamber. 26 infected GOP house reps would not quite flip that chamber. In all likelihood, it’s a mix of house and senate members, and there are probably a few dumbass Dems in the mix as well. Mississippi remains firmly in GOP control for the time being.

What’s the Mississippi delta between Dems and Repubs who’ve caught it, and who’s got the blues the most? We’ve finally reached that crossroads, and the devil has come to get his due.

The real religion in Mississippi is the Blues, and boy do Repubs got it bad.

The first time I went to Mississippi we got into town and for some reason stopped at a little shopping center. There was a black gospel band there performing on the bed of a flatbed truck. It might as well have been a movie set for how Mississippi it was.

Of course outsiders project what they want to see onto any place they visit, but the one time I’ve been to MS, it felt very bluesy. But then so did Memphis, just to its north. I even drove highway 61, of Dylan and Delta Blues fame, and spent some time in Clarksdale at the Robert Johnson Museum.

OK, this has to be a fake. They must think that I just fell off the turnip truck.
