With the country chomping at the bit for the COVID-19 vaccine, at least one red state governor is pushing the GOP to cut a deal with the Biden administration for more vaccine funding.
Just like they LOVE taking federal revenue from the blue states.
Apparently, Hutchinson sees Ma Hamhock as a threat.
Caitlin is on board.
Trust me, itâs worth a watch. Start at 3 minutes.
Especially if sheâs hungry, Iâd give her a wide berth.
The need for a coordinate effort led by the Feds to defeat C19 was always the only choice and itâs nice to see a few Tepubs finally realizing it. Iâd imagine the ball will keep rolling and more join in but the asshats are freaking cowards non the less.
Where the f⊠were they and what were they doing for last freaking year.
All I can say is thanks to the Biden teamâs openness stuff is happening now and thatâs whatâs important.
How do I put this politely? Fuck 'em.
I SO want to slap their silly faces but ⊠I want them to get vaccinated first. They gave in/enabled/lied about the virus for the past years and NOW they want âhelpâ because they ârealizeâ that a centralized, Federal response is better than leaving it to the crazies in your state legislaturesâŠbut THEN I want to shove it in their faces.
Give them the help they need despite their past sins.
Socialism For Me, But Not For Thee!!
"But Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis Âź injected a dose of insanity into the discussion, inveighing last week against the prospect of âFEMA camps.â
âWe donât need more infrastructure,â DeSantis said, rejecting the need for more federal aid. âLetâs just get more doses.â
Isnât this the state that just changed mid-stream because the pharmacy agreements were not working out?
âArkanas Gov. Asa Hutchinson Âź, also head of the National Governorâs Association, said he was in favor of another federal aid package when asked about it on CNN Thursday.â
Inquiring minds want to know,what would Sarah say ? UUUMMMM!!!
Meanwhile on Fox News Tucker Carlsonâs Tonight, Is Furby about to make a comeback as a new fad? And what are the security risks posed by this phenomenon? Is Furby listening to your pillow talk and reporting back to the Deep State? Tune in as Tucker brings the word.
Okay, I made that up. Pretty close those, right?
Yesterday was the Missouri governorâs state of state speech. Here is one sentence that is driving the blue dots here crazy.
Missouri has seen some difficult days in the past 200 years: from the Civil War and the Great Depression, womenâs suffrage and civil rights, to the COVID-19 crisis and countless other hardships. But through it all, Missouri has prevailed.â
Some Senate Republicans have pushed to cut the amount of vaccine funding in the bill from $20 billion, saying that last monthâs $8.75 billion allocated for the effort covered a chunk of what was needed.
GOP pols taking this position are dead meat when the P.1 mutant from Brazil hits their states.
From WaPo: The Amazonian city that hatched the Brazil variant has been crushed by it
Another surge was coming. This time, Uildéia Galvão thought they were prepared.
GalvĂŁo, the lead physician in the coronavirus ward at a public hospital in the Brazilian city of Manaus, had been haunted by the wave that crashed last spring. In less than 10 days, it ruptured the cityâs bewildered medical system. Sick patients were turned away. The dead were piled into mass graves.
So GalvĂŁoâs hospital organized contingency plans. Additional beds were reserved, and a detailed schedule for opening them was created.
But the new surge, when it came, was different. The virus had mutated, with a suite of alterations that probably made it more transmissible â and perhaps more lethal. Manaus was hit by what scientists call the P.1 variant. This time, it didnât take 10 days to overwhelm GalvĂŁoâs hospital. It took 24 hours.
We arenât technically a red State, since our governor is a Democrat (who is routinely shut down by the GOP on mandates), but this is some research Iâve done:
Having a look at the Bloomberg vaccination tracker, the current report says Wisconsin is vaccinating at a rate of 18,405 doses per day. At that rate, with roughly 5.8 million people, we should fully vaccinated in this State by some time in December. And thatâs just one dose - doesnât necessarily get us all with two.
Weâve only used half the vaccine thatâs been shipped here. We are nearly at the bottom of the list for percentage of supply used.
We need to demand better of our government and ourselves. This is crazy.

Oh ⊠yeah ⊠the SCOURGE of womenâs suffrage and civil rights
The beams bounce of my foil hat, tho, so youâre the dope not me.
