That’s a real head scratcher.
To be fair, Covid is a just Chinese bio-weapon that’s no worse than the flu and all those folks in the hospital in Texas on ventilators are just getting the government to breathe for them on the tax payers dime.
Jeez, too lazy to even breath!
crisis actors.
Yep it’s a hoax, but also the blood of 4 million is on Fauci’s hands
I heard he killed all 4 million in staged car accidents, and called it covid.
Yeah, it’s been extremely difficult to get any information at all about best practices. If only someone would put out some guidelines. Maybe we could even come up with some medicinal options to help alleviate the risks, like a shot or something. Too bad we’re not all scientists and therefore don’t understand anything that is being disseminated. Woe is us.

Oh didn’t you hear? Possum Pie has bowed out of this thread. Otherwise, well I’m just sure we’d hear all about it.
Optics alert! Optics alert! This is the event that Abott attended last night in Texas northeast of Dallas. While vaccination rates are high in the elderly, there are hold-outs among TX Republicans. This event had hundreds of people jam-packed into the Republican Heritage Club House.
So let’s go over my list, shall we?
- Vaccination status - unknown and lots of old people.
- Venue - not only inside, but packed. Abbott is in the center, chatting away amongst the crowd.
- Mask indoors? - Of course, not!
- Testing? - well, probably only Abbott but got the positive a day later. You’re contagious before your test is even positive.
So, please let these “bad optics” sink in while watching this tweet.
BTW, getting Regeneron monoclonal antibodies that the rubes can’t afford is a nice touch. Why did he get this if he is asymptomatic? Huh? I’m sure all those nicely-exposed old people are rich donors who can afford their own monoclonal antibodies when they test positive too.
You forget, Obama is a public servant who has a responsibility to his constituents. As long as he’s the most important person in politics, he’s fair game. Maybe if dems would stop electing him we wouldn’t need to hold him to such high standards.
Meanwhile, Abbot is just this guy, you know?
Are you sure you’re in healthcare? I’m pretty sure this is false. Do you have a cite that says that the vaccines are having no effect on the pandemic?
There’s no problem with the optics around Abbott because his behavior is totally consistent with his message and that of his party: The virus is no big deal, masks are optional, and sacrifices are for suckers. Having a large, indoor, crowded, maskless event with no vaccination checks or contact tracking is exactly what Abbott and the right are encouraging everyone to do. That’s not the case with the left. Their message is to take this seriously, mask up, and make sacrifices. Throwing a big, fun wing-ding birthday party is not really consistent with the Democrat’s message. Technically it may have been safe from a CDC perspective, but it’s not consistent with the spirit of the left’s messaging around the virus.
In other words, Abbott is living up to the incredibly low standard you’ve set for him?
All vaccinated and tested. Good.
Fuck that. We need to encourage people to get vaccinated. One way to do that is to let the vaccinated get back to normal while the idiots sit in their homes and watch. I wish Obama would throw a monthly partly like this.
Right? We need to start ignoring conservatives as much as we can, they have zero credibility at this point, especially regarding the virus. Most of the time, we still have to deal with their crap since there are so many of them. But this sort of bullshit needs to be ignored. At some point we can’t worry about the Fox echo chamber.
Ignoring your gross profanity which is usually the last resort in a debate, the problem is the conservatives WON"T sit back and watch, they will use it as an excuse to horde in large groups.
What debate?
Conservatives will use ANY excuse, or just make shit up anyway. Your concern is noted.
I think the last resort in a debate should be providing false information as the basis of your argument.
