Kevin Bain was also fired by the law firm where he worked as a document service manager. Thompson & Knight, LLC confirmed to CNN that Bain was dismissed after the law firm learned of and investigated a post on a page bearing Bain's name on May 8, where the author allegedly wrote that any business that tells him to wear a mask "will get told to kiss my Corona a**."

I think it must be a followup from last year's social media shaming of racist white people who reported people of color for living their lives. Barbecue Becky, for instance.

Somehow, Karen became the default all-purpose identifier for racist entitled white women.

I got the context.. I just couldn't understand why the name "Karen" was settled on.

I'm sure there are a lot of wonderful Woke Karens out there.

Sun May 17, 2020, 08:00 AM
May 2020

All he has to do is go on Fox News and tell his supporters to wear masks and stop threatening workers and people in public. He just has to say that he wants the economy reopened and the only way to do that safely is for everyone to wear masks and keep a six-foot distance. He could even forget his own vanity for the sake of keeping people safe and appear himself wearing a mask.

But I forget. Trump is not a leader and would never do something that is actually beneficial.

The problem is Trump loves two things. Chaos and money. Chaos is his god and he tries to make us focus on his god so we don't pay attention to what he's really doing.

Since this was on line thankfully I could not see them face to face. The response was logical “No”. I disagreed bullets do kill viruses when they kill the viral host. All viral traces are gone after you have been cremated. Lately these types much like Eric Trump still label Covid-19 a Democratic Hoax.

more power sounds like a lethal threat to me.

Sounds like he has anger issues that need to be addressed.

If you don't want to wear a mask don't go to establishments that require such. You may have to stay home to be mask free, but if you choose to go out then be prepared to follow the rules. It's your choice. Simple as that.

The rest of society is following this norm, and they care enough to understand why.

Not if you want to keep your job, that is.

Better to try it in Lubbock or Waxahatchie.

In Dallas, most of us don't put up with that kind of horse shit, haven't for a long while now.
