I’m beginning to think something may be slightly off with the police.

Off-topic, but is anyone else getting trolls spewing hate about Ilhan Omar or did I just pick up a “fan?”

Caligula’s Poodle is the new name for my death metal polka fusion band. Thanks!

I have a feeling the next “cause” the freedumb-and-dumber set will champion is fighting interstate travel bans.  It’s not clear they are constitutional without the support of the federal government, and we all know that’s not going to happen.

I don’t think it makes you terrible. Having Pence and Trump get sick from COVID-19 would be wonderful for the country. Not only are they doing terribly in handling the crisis (I mean, they’re actively making everything worse), but seeing them get sick might convince some of their supporters to take things seriously.

I’d say that with Pence, it’s less about coming around to reality and more trying to live in two realities simultaneously: one where he is a serious, respectable statesman with a political future, and one where he is Caligula’s poodle. Because these are wholly incompatible realities and one is very damaging to the…

My sister, a republican, lives in Texas and is a nurse (NPCC, private practice in Houston). She’s livid about the situation. Everyone in the state had the chance to show personal responsibility and wear the mask and keep distant and not go out, she told me, and they didn’t because they weren’t going to let the…

My condolences on the loss of your family member. I hope the other family member remembers saying “when it’s my time...” in a few week when s/he is being told by the nurse that they’re about to shove a tube down his/her throat and medically induce a coma,

That’s funny, every time I bring up that education has been under attack for decades, I get dismissed, grayed, or just ignored.

How about, “Why did you let so many people die?” 

Wasn’t Gov. DeSantis telling the Health Dept. to hide infection a/o fatality numbers? I remember either someone from FL Health Services either getting fired a/o resigning b/c they wouldn’t do it.

Wait til it gets really rolling. Here in NJ, we were averaging almost 400 a day at its peak, and our total stands at close to 13,000 (15000 if you count those who died and weren’t tested, per today’s paper). 

Texan here - I have mostly been Shelter in Place since March 13th.
I haven’t been to a grocery store since that weekend and the only 3 businesses we go inside are Lowes, At Home, and Costco. All wearing masks and carrying hand sanitizer. Unfortunately my fellow statesmen don’t carry the same banner of caution. I’ve…

Someone needs to hit Patrick up with this. “You said we had to restart the economy and some deaths were unavoidably necessary. How do you feel about that now? Anything you’d like to say to the families that have lost people recently?”

It’s weird that the Americans could not do the one thing they should have excelled at, namely sitting their asses down at home and watching television for a month.

Push him & Dan Patrick off of a cliff.

It has been frustrating to feel the Republican stranglehold that the GOP has been exerting over the blue cities which are the most vulnerable in a pandemic. We were much safer when the democratic leaders WE elected were presiding over pandemic response. And then the Republican power move destroyed all of that.
It’s…

“But my personal freedoms are at stake!! The virus is a hoax!” /s

No. It would have helped, for sure ( I’m a New Yorker, lockdown has been my reality a lot longer than other states) but it wouldn't have caused the virus to go extinct even with perfect 100 % compliance which would have been difficult to achieve in the first place, what with our fearless leader telling us he wanted to…

PULL THE DAMN THING OVER YOUR NOSE. If you aren’t covering both nose and mouth it’s a waste of time.
