During this national emergency there have been some politicians who have stepped up and done the right thing. Quarantines, self distancing, banning groups of more than 10 people, stay at home orders, closing bars and restaurants. Some Governors seem genuinely concerned about their citizens, both Democrats and Republicans, self centered libertarians and delusional Greens and independent wusses. These Governors also include both parties and they should be applauded.
Democrats like Gavin Newsom, Andrew Cuomo, Gretchen Whitmer, J B Pritzger, Andy Beshear, Steve Bullock, Phil Murphy, Jay Inslee have all done things designed to flatten the curve. Republicans like Mike DeWine of Ohio and Larry Hogan of Maryland also seem to have a flatten the curve mindset. Even my Trump cult member Governor, Pete Ricketts, has done some decent things to attempt to save lives though clearly he still kisses Trumps ass.
Meanwhile we have Republicans running states who seem scared to death of the Trump Death Cult. The Death Cult of zombie eyed dipshits who would happily die for the Deceiver in Chief. These Republican "leaders', these irresponsible dimbulbs, are refusing to cooperate with all medical advice to stay the fuck home.
Ron DeSantis of Florida allowed indestructible youths to party on the beaches, crowd into bars and restaurants, cram 10 people into hotel rooms and exchange body fluids and airborne viruses. DeSantis is the Mayor of Amity Island letting human beings swim in the virus infested ocean while he knows its dangerous. After his precious Florida economy was sufficiently fluffed he finally decided to close the beaches and unleash the runny nosed hungover kids back across the country to kill Granny and Grampy and who knows else. Thanks Ron, you're truly a hellbound vermin.
My next door neighbor Governor , Kim Reynolds of Iowa, a gender traitor from way back, ,refused to lock her filthy state down but had no problem attempting to lock down the states abortion clinics. Never take your eyes off the prize, Kim, that abortion ban bullshit you clowns worship is always the most important thing. Who gives a shit if actually breathing human beings die from your irresponsible refusal to issue stay at home orders, but save that fetus using any loophole you can find.
Kay Ivy of Alabama refuses to issue stay at home orders because Alabama isnt California whatever the fuck that means. No Kay, you're worse. Your infection rate down there in the Heart of Dixie is way higher than them fruits and nuts out in California. Ya know why? Because California is trying to flatten the curve while you sit there and think the curve looks a lot like the Mount where Jesus gave his sermon you've never read.
Texas Governor Greg Abbott. Need I say more? Texas.
But as bad as this bunch is, nobody is worse than the two birdbrains from Oklahoma and Mississippi.
Oklahoma Governor Kevin Stitt not only owned the libs early on in this crisis by taking his family to a restaurant, his fucking children, but he posted pictures of he and the unsuspecting children smiling away and bragging how he wasnt going to be stifled by the panicky libs and those stupid scientists. Go out everyone! Stitt has since decided or been told how goddamned dumb he is, to take minimal measures to keep Oklahomans safe from death . But because Oklahomans are the salt of the earth, he has decided to quarantine people from other states. Lets guess where from. New York, Connecticut, New Jersey, Washington, California and Louisiana. Though no sane human from any of those states would set foot into Oklahoma is beside the point.
But Tate Reeves of Mississippi is the worst. This Trump twerp not only refused to issue shutdown orders, he barred the states Mayors from issuing their own stay the fuck home orders. Reeves refused to expand Medicaid and also tried that abortion ban crap. Reeves, who spent time in Spain watching his kid play soccer, has decided to fight the virus in his own way. Facebook Prayer Vigils. Ok Tate, You pray on Facebook while real Governors try and save their constituents with based on reality solutions.
Like Stay Home and Flatten the Curve you Southern Fried Fools.

"Working within the system means to become a part of the system. When you go into the voting booth, the only meaningful significance that your action will have is to show that one more person supports the state". ~Mark Davis
If you vote, you have nothing to complain about.
Alas what comes to my mind is the old adage of "you know the game is crooked but it is the only game in town"
So it is with po;itics
That's "If you don't vote, you have nothing to complain about."
"Ed" is a right-wing troll who deals in cut-and-paste Republican talking points, and who seems to specialize in trolling posts that have been linked from Crooks and Liars.
It's the Republicans who don't want us to vote. Just look how hard they work to discourage us from doing so.
You know it Infidel753!
