Gee, weren't you one of those claiming the colleges should just reopen because the younger folks were at substantially less risk?


I dont recall that I was - no.

Straight up wrong, assholes!

My Concierge MD, a health facility in Beverly Hills, California has been getting numerous phone calls from wealthy clientele willing to pay any amount to bypass waiting for a dose of the potentially life-saving shot. Dr. Abe Malkin, Concierge MD’s founder, said that some of the patients offer to give a charitable “contribution” in order to “get themselves bumped up in line.”

Those sick bastards.  heh

Still unclear - maybe someone can explain - why just being in Congress gets you bumped.

Why is a weak 83-year old member of my family waiting while AOC and her ilk get stuck with the doses?

Now there's a sea lion question.  He's going for your crown,  Ward.

What responsible American would vote for this sycophantic lightweight weasel?

Thankfully AMERICA is not our voting population in this one - (just Georgia and some parts of NY and Chicago - Stacey can tell u which).

Still, I am not optimistic.

Less than an hour later, McConnell followed with his own tweet announcing he has received his first dose of the vaccine. The Kentucky Republican pointed out that in addition to boosting confidence, members of Congress were being inoculated as part of a plan to ensure continuity of government.  McConnell said other than a little soreness at the injection site, he felt fine, and would soon resume his annual Christmas rat-fucking

Problem with the press, generally -

Headline:

Mega-church pastor positive with Covid after White House Christmas party

Now, in the story:

There is no evidence to suggest that Mr Franklin got infected with coronavirus at the White House party.



https://news.yahoo.com/mega-church-pastor-positive-covid-104442739.html

At least in this case they included the blurb.  Many stories do not - and the public runs with the notion that the event led to the COVID case (see Cain, Herman)

Tax breaks for business meals made it into the relief package on republican insistence.

If congressional republicans were ground up into sausage patties and fed to the poor, they’d be more use to the average American than they are in their current roles.

McConnell’s grudging largesse works out to $50 a week per recipient over the course of the pandemic so far.

Trump has stolen more than republicans are willing to allocate towards relief while they encourage him to keep stealing.

We have to combat the racism and gullibility in America that lets republicans cling to power in far too many places. Republicans are clearly trying to kill us all. They are to lazy and blood crazed now to even bother to dress up their intentions with shambolic rhetoric as they did in the days of the bushes and slimy Ronald raygun.

No lies spoken!

Meanwhile, where real relief is needed, judges find loopholes in the CDC eviction ban so that landlords can throw people in the streets....

The Lee statue will be moved to the Virginia Museum of History and Culture in Richmond, according to the governor's office.
