1. Darn

[Autumn]

2. What a wuss. Afraid of a "Democratic hoax".

[OAITW r.2.0]

5. Your gif really works with this post....

The prima donna takes out the understudy.....

[Hassin Bin Sober]

7. Gee, I hope The Turtle doesn't strain his milk with this one.

3. As per usual, covid policy depends completely on how it affects GOP power. N/T

[Journeyman]

4. Poor lost, confused, delusional old coot -- moved by concern over fears of a hoax . . .

[OAITW r.2.0]

6. It's almost like Trump doesn't matter anymore.

After 9 months, even the GOP has figured it out.

8. Can you do Zoom lunches from the underworld?

[spanone]

9. I guess the republican senators are smart enough to do that on their own

[JI7]

10. This repulsive scumbag does everything to protect himself

while leaving others out to die .

14. Bingo. nt

[Ohio Joe]

19. Correct - nt

[malaise]

11. Found his spine?

Fuck off MoscowMitch!

[Blue_true]

16. No. He is afraid of getting infected and dying. He is in a very high risk age group. nt

[BigmanPigman]

17. And he has some medical issues that made him bruise easily

on his hands, mouth and face a few weeks ago. Gee, wouldn't it be a shame if he croaked?!

[malaise]

18. So haven't they been having these lunches for ReTHUGs right up to the

Con being defeated?

[Blue_true]

21. I believe they suspended them in September or October, or at least toned them down.

Mitch got the bruise spots in late October. My uneducated guess is it has more to do with Mitch McConnell’s risk level than getting past Trump.

23. Thanks

24. No, he needs all hands on deck for partisan Senate votes and he can't afford

to have any more GOP senators out sick with covid or at home under quarantine.

[Klaralven]

12. Senators should brown-bag it and eat at their desks - puts them in touch with the commoners!

[ShazzieB]

13. 3 words

3 words: High. Damned. Time.

15. Probably wants to keep them healthy so they can vote for some

for things he wants passed during lame duck. That is the only reason he cares..

20. Mitch

taking recess while Americans are dying, without money and food.

22. Another Trump failure.

Mitch is still there. So much for draining the swamp.
