…and yet those nasty motherfkers in Congress (I’m looking at YOU Gym Jordon and Matt Gaetz) insist that it’s TYRANNY to ask people to wear a mask and social distance. Honest to God.

It’s so bad here in Texas that the White House task force (it apparently still exists) has told our governor to shut us down. We’ve been advised that everyone over 65 needs to stay in and get everything delivered.

In advertising and speech-writing there is this placeholder term “American Ingenuity”. If you can’t explain something, it is at least a term that makes you proud. So what is this? American Unwisdom?

I recall when seatbelts became mandatory there was a connector under the drivers seat where you could disconnect and shut off the warning tone. Are they still there?
I think it just beeps for a minute then shuts off nowadays.

Those nasty mother fuckers on the Supreme Court just ruled it was basically tyranny to include churches in the limited number of people that can be allowed indoors at any time. The Pope had to come out with a full page editorial in the NYT pointing out how selfish the ruling was, how wrong it is to not put the public good ahead of mass attendance. Wonder if he can excommunicate the depraved six Catholics on the Supreme for putting religious rights ahead of human rights?

And my PA Senator Regan ran off to Gettysburg to hear Giuliani say false words live that he can not say in court.
What a man my Senator is. Sitting there mask less while we the people are dying, starving, hospitals filling up.
Makes one proud that he only cares about Trump and not his own.
He did not protest the Primary or his votes in the General election.

If Giuliani gets another case of the farts your senator may reconsider not wearing a mask.
