1. You would think that members of the GOP learn from their mistakes, but...

They never do, so fuck them!

2. "We kept our dinner parties small"

That didn't work out too well.

I kept my dinner parties small too. Party of one.

3. Keep your dinner parties small, but your lunch parties smaller

5. As far as I am concerned this guy is an idiot!

I have been in self quarantine since the second week in March. That is almost 9 months of my life. I have no sympathy for this guy. He fought Governor Walz tooth and nail for putting Covid restrictions in place. Basically, he and other GOP thumbed their noses at the plan that would have reduced cases and deaths. These are dispicable people and I have no sympathy for them. I save my sympathy for those who are victims of his politics. He still states that he disagrees with Governor Walz's healthcare, even though his health has been impacted. But hey, he had state healthcare to take care of him, so he will continue the fight against other Minnesotans getting the tax payer healthcare he enjoyed. He can take a flying leap off a tall building for all I care. Thanks for letting me

6. Slower Traffic always keeps right. We get it right the first time.

7. "Look! Look up - now! It's . . . .it's . . . THE SKY!!!!"

Why, thanks, Congressman Turniphuffer. I would never have noticed it without the hard-won experience that you're so kind as to share with us here today!

8. He still doesn't get it. The last thirty seconds he says he doesn't want goverment involved ...

... he wants "a stern acceptance of personal responsibility." Most anti-maskers say the same shit.

And this is where we are today. It doesn't work. It's a quarter of a million dead later. And before it's too late, a time for a unified response starting at the Federal level with force of laws behind it.
