Saying this 3 months ago would have been nice, but I guess better now than not at all.

Lil’ Marco not following the Dear Leader example? He must really be scared of what’s coming.

I am…

Marco is frustrated because for some incomprehensible reason people seem reluctant to take simple protective measures that would slow the spread of the virus. Why, oh why won’t people do the sensible thing, Marco? It’s a puzzle, isn’t it, you toadying fuck?

Sen. Marco Rubio (R-FL) on Wednesday urged his Republican colleagues to comply with mask-wearing requirements as spikes in COVID-19 cases emerge in several states. “Everyone should just wear a damn mask, like you guys are, like I am right now,” Rubio said

I know I’m being redundant here, and yes, I recognize this is a good thing, but considering everything that’s occurred since Jan 2017, he still deserves a kick in the ass along with every other Republican in DC.

Although I am NOT A FAN of the damn Never-Trumpers, this is quite a statement by Steve Schmidt. And for the live of me, WHY DO THESE GUYS get their names and statements in the media all the time?

Steve Schmidt, lifelong Republican who worked on McCain’s campaign, had this to say about Trump:

“Donald Trump has been the worst president this country has ever had. And I don’t say that hyperbolically. He is. But he is also a consequential president. And he has brought this country in three short years to a place of weakness that is simply unimaginable if you were pondering where we are today from the day Barack Obama left office. And there were a lot of us on that day who were deeply skeptical and very worried about what a Trump presidency would be. But this is a moment of unparalleled national humiliation, of weakness.”

“When you listen to the President, these are the musings of an imbecile. An idiot. I don’t use these words to name call. I use them because they are the precise words in the English language to describe his behavior. His comportment. His actions. We’ve never seen a level of incompetence, a level of ineptitude so staggering on a daily basis by anybody in the history of the country whose ever been charged with substantial responsibilities.”

“It’s astonishing that this man is President. The con man from New York City, many bankruptcies, failed businesses, significant debt, and the reality show that branded him as something he never was, a successful businessman. He’s President of the United States now, who said he would Make America Great Again.”

“But he’s brought death, suffering, and economic collapse on a truly epic scale. Let’s be clear: This isn’t happening around the world. It’s happening here, in our country, our place, our home. We are the epicenter. We are the place you’re most likely to die from this disease. We’re the ones with the shattered economy. And we are here because of the fool that sits in the Oval Office behind the Resolute Desk.”

I do like the ‘musings of an imbecile.’

I know, right? I’d gotten out of the habit of thinking it would make a difference to any of them if deviating from Dear Leader worship might actually save a life here and there.

You got me laughing with that visualization and all that it implies, but we must somehow avoid suggestions involving more serious actions and the long-term consequences. :slight_smile: This is why I like the idea of long lines of people waiting their turn to literally kick some Republican ass.

Yup, litt’l Marco is looking at 2022, as the death toll starts to climb. IHME currently predicting 15,300 deaths by October 1.

That is going to hard to explain as littl’l Marco sat arround as de santos and trump fucked the pouche.

And oh, Duvall country (Jacksonville) is really spiking up. RNC convention is the kiss of death for republicans for a generation.
