Believe it or not, Texas Lieutenant Gov. Dan Patrick (R) is actually sticking to his pro-death solution to fixing the economy amid the COVID-19 pandemic.
May be the Lt. Gov. of Texas can do a full Boris Johnson and go shake the hands of Covid19 patients in the state to show how it is done on that reopening thing. Because, you know, that is what politicians did with our sick and fallen in other times.
You will notice that like Republican politicians everywhere, Lt. Gov Dan never lets anyone close to him who has tested positive and everybody who gets close to him has been tested. Otherwise you first Dan, you first. Martyr yourself the MAGA. We will stay over here.
Just exactly what is Dan Patrick going to do to risk his life? Is he going to work in the laundry of a hospital? Drive a school bus? do haircuts? What does a fucking Lt Governor do anyway? He is very brave because all he does is video conferences from the safety of his home.
“What I said when I was with you that night is there are more important things than living,” Patrick told Fox News host Tucker Carlson,
Perhaps he’ll volunteer to show how it’s done?
Nothing fancy, say something traditional, like sepuku.
He will, of course, need a competent second to manage the beheading.
We’d hate for it to be sloppy on Tucker’s show.
These stupid white men are going to find out in the end that their ridiculous embrace of their own power to control, their mastery, their very “manliness” is dust in the wind.
The moth having righted himself now lay most decently and uncomplainingly composed. Oh yes, he seemed to say, death is stronger than I am.
