They are unintentionally forming their exclusive Club Dead.
Waiting for the Corona RaptureâŚ
God is calling you, beat the rushâŚ
Just one more rung on the long ladder down.
Excellent!
I believe it was a republiscum that said during the Terry Schiavo nonsense that they were a culture of life.
Har de har har.
Shitbags, all of them.
Sounds like a great campaign platform. Also a mixed messageâhe blathers about âtaking care of ourselvesâ but wonât come out and say that HE is willing to do die. he just wants other poor schmucks to do it.
He turns 70 on April 4th.
The snark is going to be hilarious here at TPM if Patrick gets the virus.
Am I surprised at this?
No.
Iâm not an economist, by any measure. But Capitalism depends primarily on competition. In a world-wide economic slowdown (which is the effect of the coronavirus), the playing field is, to some extent, leveled.
Our economy is not being âruinedâ.
I say we all chip in and arrange for a meeting with Rand PaulâŚ
You donât know that he isnât a zombie.
I also have some doubts that intentionally letting like 2 million people die will actually be great for the economyâŚ
absolutely right
Texas. Of course.
I guess someone could explain to him that his course will also be economically disastrous. Perhaps if we explain to him that with Mitch McConnell in the Senate, any course of action through any crisis will result in more transfer of wealth from the many to the wealthiest, and that will make him happy.
Not if you dump them in the streets for Wednesday pickup.
Patrick now meeting with estate planners. Going to use his entire estate to buy N 95 masks for the young people of Texas.
Then he goes to Padre Island and swims out to sea never to be seen again.
Epic!
Show us your bona fides Mr Gov and perform a ritual seppuku on the capital mall. And have one of your grand kids stand behind you with sword in hand as your second.
For a sacrifice so noble this is your ONLY honorable option.
Your country NEEDS your sacrifice now.
Letâs not muddy the waters here. Shouldnât it be: OUR money, power, etc > YOUR life.
Theyâre sure as Hell not putting up what theyâre asking us to give.
âOur biggest gift is the legacy we give to our children.â
Donât even get me started. The rank hypocrisy and narcissism on display here is revolting. This from a party that doesnât give a shit about global warming â i.e. the literal, increasingly unstable and dangerous world their children will directly inherit. This isnât about the kids. This is about a group of people who, facing their 70s, would rather go to brunch with a full 401k and die happy (albeit at great expense and once again stealing resources from other people) than live with a fear of mortality at home. And while one can sympathize with that simpering anxiety, dressing it up as âcaring about the kidsâ when you so clearly DONâT is absolutely infuriating. Care about the kids? Invest in salary replacement (like the UK is) and good medical care; use social distancing to keep yourself off a fâking ventilator so that said kids donât have to worry about you in the hospital. Save the social fabric, use science based approaches to temper the epidemic, protect our hospitals and their actual heroes, and lay the ground work for real future. Donât take the easy way out â or play Russian roulette â and dress it up as your own glorious greatest generation sacrifice. Oh my god, I canât even. Disgusting.
