Trump got a jab in January, and so did Melania. Naturally, they did it secretly, because he didn't want his drooling moron base to know he'd lied to them.
I think there should be fewer old people living in FL in 2022, thanks to Trump and his bungled Covid response, so maybe you'll go blue again.
The reason I think FL is going dark red is because the GOP has convinced a lot of Hispanic people that the Democratic Party are sOcHulISTs. I hate that we have Bernie Sanders playing right into the GOP's hands.
Killing people of color is a feature, not a bug. At this point it's transparently deliberate, coupled with the egregious voter suppression/Jim Crow/it's 1876 again laws (I don't know why they don't make it easier on themselves and just have a one sentence bill: "no more black people voting"). Business people, and Trumpers, no doubt put the squeeze on Abbott who was having a freak out over his gigantic electric grid failure. As Beto O'Rourke says,Texas is literally a failed state.
"Texas’ top health official said Wednesday that Gov. Greg Abbott (R) did not consult him before announcing that the state would become the largest in the nation to lift its COVID-19 restrictions.+In fact, three of the governor’s four coronavirus medical advisers said they hadn’t spoken with him. The fourth, Dr. John Zerwas, told the Statesman he had spoken to Abbott and believed “the state mandate is in the rearview mirror” and that it was “time for personal responsibility” to take over."
Checked into that. They're still requiring for employees and vendors, and still 'requesting' of customers, up to offering masks. They're just no longer going to fight and/or repell covidiot maskholes. I suspect nothing much will change, for awhile at least.
eta - you know, gotta pick your battles, but I am solidly for any degree of public shaming and harrassment of plague rats. More interesting question, if maskholes are tolerated, how much suppression would stores put up against pro-mask vigilantes?
I think Rick Scott did some lying to Puerto Rican people, the ones who had to come to Florida after Maria. Everyone expected they would mostly vote Dem. He also pushed that socialist shit.
God, that is true. I'd temporarily forgotten that.Reminds me of the scene in BRAVEHEART at the big battle. Malignant Scot-hating English king Edward Longshanks orders his archers to fire dropping volleys into the closely packed, intermingled fighters. One of his knights, aghast, asks, "Won't that kill our men too?" Longshanks stares at him intimidatingly and hisses, "Yessss. But it will kill theirs as well. We can afford the losses. They can't." Not much use saying, "But this isn't the thirteenth century." It is to the GOP.
Seth Abramson is extremely nerdy and so there are a lot of "verified journalist" types who loathe him but when it comes to things like this, I'm waiting for him to be incorrect about any ties between the Trump "institutional" subversionists and the insurrectionist "soldier on the ground" types -- and I'm not seeing him having been wrong yet.
AMOF, I'm waiting for the FBI to pick up Kimberly Guilfoyle before she tries to leave the country and still don't understand (though in other ways I am sad I feel like I *do*) why the FBI hasn't found and put in custody that brat Ali Alexander who's been photographed with Alex Jones AND Roger Stone ... and yet who is still at large.

And I am sure he and his powerful and well connected cohort are all vaccinated, this is actually their ideal scenario.
Come now, the punctuation is not completely absent. It certainly needs some paragraphs though.
And it figures about Mississippi...bottom of the Union in every category.
Always following the [political] science...

Since he had it, I guess it's OK. He's got access to the best doctors in the world...and Ronny Jackson.

Wowser! Thank you.
Yes, ma'am!

Yep. That's their goal.
