1. Yes, and they love her in Tennessee.

[SheltieLover]

7. Speaking 1st hand here

Not all of us here love her. She is an oligarch loving harlot!

[redstateblues]

11. Not this Tennessean. Can't stand her

[Thomas Hurt]

2. Stupid woman, who is going to enforce the judgments?

[BGBD]

24. Exactly

I'm sure Xi is getting out his checkbook as we speak.

Oh, btw, don't forget to pay up that legal fee you'll get when you bring the suit. Don't worry, you'll get the money back from China. lol

[Goodheart]

3. How would suing China stop Covid?

[mr_lebowski]

8. The Act also grants citizens the right to buy DeLoreans & Plutonium at the corner store ...

It's called the McFly Amendment, Louie Gohmert added it ...

Gotta get back in time!

[SCantiGOP]

16. trump has floated the idea

of “making” China pay us $10 million per death.

[dflprincess]

20. I would suspect he's working on a way to get a cut

of each payment.

4. Did anyone get sued for the flu of 1918

That started in Kansas, and spread worldwide.

14. I have been thinking about diseases jumping from wild animals to people.

What the rightwing people are failing to realize is that a percentage of people in this country consume wild animals. Could the 1918 pandemic have been started by Hunters in Kansas consuming harvested wildlife?

We should take China to task for being secretive once they first saw the problem, even if they were being secretive because they couldn't get a grip on it and didn't want to look stupid - we can work with them to get a process in place where it is ok to ask for outside help, but trying to sue that country isn't the way to start the development of that process.

17. The 1918 influenza jumped from pigs to farmers.

Even "tamed" animals can cause such diseases.

[Blue_true]

23. When I was a boy, people still got ill from eating pork and chicken.

Modern AG science is much better, the risk of the type of transmission that caused 1918 is much lower now.

[iemitsu]

26. Yes, I remember when uncooked flour might be tained by

bugs. Times have changed but food production is still not a very well regulated system.
How often had romaine lettuce been recalled in teh past few years?

36. I heard it was from burning manure plus a dust storm...

....Within the camp were thousands of horses and mules that produced a stifling nine tons of manure each month. The accepted method of disposing of the manure was to burn it, an unpleasant task made more so by the driving wind. On Saturday, March 9, 1918, a threatening black sky forecast the coming of a significant dust storm. The dust, combining with the ash of burning manure, kicked up a stinging, stinking yellow haze. The sun was said to have gone dead black in Kansas that day.

Some, looking for a point of origin of the so-called Spanish influenza that would eventually take the lives of 600,000 Americans, point to that day in Kansas. Shortly before breakfast on Monday, March 11, the first domino would fall signaling the commencement of the first wave of the 1918 influenza. Company cook Albert Gitchell reported to the camp infirmary with complaints of a “bad cold.” Right behind him came

29. +1

[ooky]

5. She really is. I've never heard her say one thing that disproves it. nt

[Skittles]

6. painful to listen to

the sheer ignorance of the complicity of her own party

[SheltieLover]

9. This!👆

Oligarch loving harlot.

[Baked Potato]

10. Will I have to serve them the papers in Wuhan? That'll eat up my Trump bux.

[Bleacher Creature]

12. Hell, why not sue the virus!?!

[dem4decades]

27. If she ever fell she'd probably sue Newton because of gravity.

[brush]

13. Grandstanding stupidity.

[Blue_true]

15. Actually, it is very sinister.

What people like her are trying to do with the nonsense they are pushing is force democrats to be the adults and stop them. Once democrats step in, republicans can accuse democrats of being soft on China, and republicans will use that in the Fall to smear Biden and democratic officeholders or officeseekers.

[brush]

19. Quite possible, but I don't think Blackburn has thought any of that through.

[Blue_true]

21. I seriously doubt that she would think of that herself.

But she has proven to be very adept at mouthing the company line, if Mitch tells her something, she runs with it. Blame China has been installed in their Fall playbook, they want to excite MAGATS and/or force democrats to inject sanity, only to have republicans call them soft on China.

[brush]

22. They'll try it but by Nov. there will be close to 200k deaths on trump's watch...

many of them magats, hard for voters to ignore.

[Blue_true]

25. Let's hope you are right. A lot of things that are rational aren't happening now. nt

We may have 200,000 by the start of August.

[brush]

28. Just horrible. Obama kept ebola deaths to 2 here and left trump a playbook...

which the stupid fuck of course ignored out if his jealousy of Obama.

[JI7]

18. useless fucking trash

[Hortensis]

30. All Repubican senators are not just intensely corrupt but

are a clear and present danger to our nation. Blackburn's cynical, deceiving posturing is everyday behavior for them.

[tanyev]

31. Would that also open up the ability to sue the Trump Administration for their incompetent response?

[leftyladyfrommo]

32. Good for lawyers. nt

[GoCubsGo]

33. and, water is wet, the sky is blue, bears shit in the woods...

[sinkingfeeling]

34. I'd rather sue MF45.

[SKKY]

35. To Joe Grab-a-sandwich in Tennessee, they love it...

...even though the majority of them couldn't afford a country lawyer to bring the case. Just more chum for the REM masses.
