Governor Sisolak and new guidelines

 Lame, just like ALL of your other pronouncements. Just pathetic....


"Lame" is being too inarticulate to speak your own twisted ideas, and relying on Fakebook videos to do that for you.

  So I guess you would rather I call you by your rightful label - LIAR. Happy now?.

Whatever you choose to call me is up to you. Childish name-calling by something like you doesn't make any difference.

There are several nations worldwide that have successfully dealt with the virus without a vaccine being available. Furthermore, widespread observance of safety measures, aggressive testing and contact tracing, and the gathering of good data all reduce the severity of cases and the number of deaths.

 

That has no chance here, with a President who actively discourages safety measures, chokes off scientists' access to data, and has refused to create a coordinated response to the pandemic. The single best thing we can do before the arrival of a vaccine is to get rid of Trump.

 

The other obstacle is Mitch McConnell. We wouldn't have to choose between the economy and our lives if we had a second stimulus bill to tide us over. We now know how much longer we need--4-6 months. The stimulus bill already passed by the House would provide a financial bridge to the time when we have a vaccine widely available. THEN, and not before, we can talk about opening up the economy.


Yeah but there was no time to bring a vote to the floor regarding helping the unemployed and hungry.....plenty of time to unfairly pack a supreme court before a deceased Justice is even cold, but that other unimportant stuff will only keep people alive so why bother?

Don't forget, according to Trump and all the other Republiholes, the people who were dying were all Democrats anyway, so why do anything?

 

I strongly suspect that that idea is a major reason why Trump did nothing about the pandemic. He believed what Fox News told him, that Covid-19 only kills Democrats in places like New York City and Seattle, so why do anything? If enough Democrats died, he reasoned, that would help his reelection chances. And we learned all too well that getting reelected was the only thing on his evil little mind.

 

If we win the Senate, people will get actual help and we'll beat back the virus, but I give that a 1 in 4 chance at best. Republicans are already intensifying their voter suppression efforts in Georgia. I'm sure we'll see half a million Black people mysteriously thrown off the voter rolls two days before the election, or one polling place available within 50 miles of a Black neighborhood (and the cops stopping and checking everyone's ID before they're allowed to get in line).
