Get big government money out of our state!

Looking for a clip of a scene from a Michael Moore movie where Moore was at the back of a parade in a red state and he got the crowd mid-chant to change the chant from "GET BIG GOVERNMENT OUT OF OUR STATE!" to "Get big government MONEY out of our state!" The look of bewilderment when the chant reached the big wigs is something always brings tears of laughing joy.

McConnell's recent bs about blue state "bailouts" reminded me of the clip, but I'm coming up with bumpkis in my search. L'il help?

Sure, open the country back up.

Fox and Limbaugh types have always argued that Teabaggers and red state farmers are truly the economic engine that keeps America going while blue state liberals spend their days protesting instead of working. It seems logical, then, that red states should absolutely get back to work, especially since their governors would obviously support their efforts. If the astro-turfed protestors want to go back to work, let them go. To support their efforts, I'd personally lobby stores to give them not one but two days a week when the "It's a hoax" gun-toting crowd could shop unhindered by masked libtards. Hell, I'd even lobby my fellow Dumbocrats to clear the roads on Sundays so the true believers can then get together in their megachurches and pray for end times.

I'd only ask that they stay the unholy f*ck out of blue states.

How to re-elect Trump in one Tweet.

Briahna Joy Gray on Twitter: "On the plus side, I can drop the “Democratic” from my tweets about why Socialism is good. 😉"

Somehow, this saddens me more than it angers me. What the hell are these people thinking?

WHO explains Covid-19 and SARS-CoV-2

Official names have been announced for the virus responsible for COVID-19 (previously known as “2019 novel coronavirus”) and the disease it causes. The official names are:

Disease
coronavirus disease
(COVID-19)

Virus
severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2
(SARS-CoV-2)

Why do the virus and the disease have different names?

Viruses, and the diseases they cause, often have different names. For example, HIV is the virus that causes AIDS. People often know the name of a disease, such as measles, but not the name of the virus that causes it (rubeola).
