Sorry. It’s probably why I’m an atheist.

Stop making sense. It’s an anathema to those people.

don’t receive it when somebody threatens you with ‘Everybody’s getting the flu!’

It works for so many things

I’m in the Army, so they line us all up and jab us in the arm whether we want it or not. I’ll never forget the time I had to get the yellow fever shot (for a trip that ended up being cancelled) and it made us all sick as dogs. And we still had to go to PT the next morning.

RIP Cleavon & Gene. Siiiiigh.

<whispers> But it was the *Spanish flu.... so, you know....

I didn’t get a flu shot this year because the guy giving it didn’t look well. But I avoid people, so I’m ok, right?

That being said, she quickly added, “If you’ve already got the flu, I’m gonna pray for you right now ... flu, I bind you off of the people in the name of Jesus. Jesus himself gave us the flu shot.”

Nobody tell her about the Spanish flu pandemic of 1918 which killed between 40 and 100 million people. And everyone knows 1918 was way before gay people existed, so it’s not like it was sent as a plague for our sinfulness like modern plagues.

She can feel free to get the flu and die, but I’m getting my damn flu shot like a reasonable adult.

I mean so long as our survival is predicated on Republicans doing something for the good of the country we are absolutely fucked. Trump won’t face any consequences because his fellow party members are just as evil as he is. (Just not as stupid. Except Louie Gohmert.)

This. I kept thinking that Congress would turn on him once they realized he was a total shit show. And then I thought they would turn on him once they got tax reform through.

They won’t, if he suddenly did something fucking crazy like regulated guns, let the gays get married and have butt-babies, or worked towards racial equality then they would be throwing that switch ASAP. But as he carries out their agenda at speeds they could never accomplish on their own, he is given a wide birth and…

Except he could basically confirm that he gives Putin state secrets and blowjobs on the regular and it would still be irrelevant unless Congress decides to impeach, which they are under no obligation to do. It all seems unlikely unless somehow the almost 40% (!!) of voters who blindly support Trump suddenly decide to…

I want to be excited for all the yummy perjury but I can’t be because I’ve lost all hope that this Congress will get off its ass to do anything about it. But like... I am 100% sure that he will lie about something that he and his lackey can’t spin, which is definitively and objectively false.

Because he’s just a liar.

I think (hope) they just left out the word paid since the employers would not pay for the leave, it would come from SS

No, you don’t understand. The bootstraps trickle down if you stop stealing from the job creators like an illegal immigrant gang member.

Republican-friendly paid family leave bill would neither raise taxes nor impose requirements on businesses to provide leave.
