24. A day late and a dollar short.
Thu Jul 2, 2020, 06:36 PM

At his announcement today, Abbott was gesturing all a lot and looked like he was 30 seconds away from a panic attack. That’s what happens when you listen to the Asshole-in-Chief and treat a pandemic like a political football. I’m so angry at these ignorant jerks. Last night, a nurse was on our local news, in tears, because medical personnel have been dealing with this crisis for months and they are exhausted—physically and emotionally. They’ve all been working horrific hours, and they’re all worried about catching the virus and dying themselves.

The Republican idiots who think their freedom depends on not wearing a mask just all need to be sent to an uninhabited island to fend for themselves. They aren’t decent enough to live in a civilized society. And they can take Trump with them.
