Rep Swalwell: "Sorry for your loss"

toddstarnes

@toddstarnes
Dropped by a department store to buy a toaster oven. Mandatory hand sanitizer squirt and mask. One way aisles and if you deviate from the approved zone for customers - they sternly lecture you. The country as we know it has been destroyed. And I still don’t have a toaster.

To the 40,000+ who have literally lost their life due to Trump's delay in leadership action back in March.

Other than products that are simply unavailable (like toilet paper, bleach, etc...) I have NEVER not been able to get something that I have needed/wanted during this pandemic.

The country as we know it, is adapting to a virus that has killed almost 80 thousand of us in the span of less than 2 months. We will not be this way forever. What is keeping us from moving forward is the inept, callous, and ridiculous response from the Trump administration.

Who gives a fuck if you can't just run in and get a toaster oven! If you stop to ask an employee, they will show you where they are. I got a goddamned toaster oven in March, after the shelter in place order was enacted. You know why? Because I am not a stupid whiny ass baby who can't get it together to get a damned toaster oven. Every time I go out, I put on my mask and my gloves to protect the community from spreading a highly contagious disease. Is it a pain in the ass? YES. Is it worth it to stop the spread and not be a completely selfish asshole? YES.

Get over yourself Starnes!

the department store for mandating masks?..hand sanitizers?..social distancing?..the department store employees, while putting themselves in harm's way, insisting that protocol be followed?...and because he didn't buy a toaster? (I get no bleach, no disinfectant, no toilet paper but no toasters??), the country has been destroyed because the department store has this thing about keeping their shoppers and employees alive?...no you asshole, it's the stench from the orange anus...

Bob Mina @HurricaneBobM -- Replying to @toddstarnes

"Dearest Martha,

Heavy losses today for us during the Battle of Macy's. The cleaning products and good manners decimated our ranks. As we were incapable of turning left, we soon were cornered and had to withdraw.

We'll be eating raw bread tonight...no toaster, yet.

-Todd"

Quick, before your God Emperor makes it impossible to get a toaster oven without paying eighty dollars for basic shipping via USPS.

(Who honestly believes Starnes went to a brick-and-mortar to get a toaster oven? But I'll give him this: the country as we knew it has been destroyed, even if that has nothing to do with one-way aisles.)
