Governor T'aint Reeves of Mississippi was just on CNN w/Jake Tapper and when asked about MS' ....

[Botany]

... high death rate from C-19 (If MS was a country it would be 2nd highest in the world) he would
not answer the question but talked about Joe Biden's falling poll #s because of Afghanistan, something
about lagging indicators, talking to your Dr. about the vaccine, West Virginia's Democratic Governor,
getting your arm jabbed vs getting a paycheck, childhood vaccines that are required to go to school
in MS are different then corona virus vaccines because of something or other, and that President Biden
in using OHSA rules to require vaccinations in work places is just the start of his power grab over the
people of Mississippi and all of America and that he and the MS State Legislature were standing their
ground against masks and vaccines to protect people's free-DUMBS. However the Gov. never answered
Jake's repeated questions about what the State of MS was doing to contain and or stop the disease.

1st time I have listened to Governor T'aint for any length of time and I have come to the conclusion that
he along w/Abbott, DeSantis, Noem, and others are purposely trying to prevent containment of the disease
and in doing so they are purposely spreading the disease. To what end they're doing this I don't know but
I think it is very Machiavellian.

BTW T'aint did say that he and his family have all been vaccinated.

1. Killing off the people of color and

working class who are dying of Covid at higher rates than others.

[Pinback]

9. Yes - a basic fact that's often overlooked. (nt)

[LakeArenal]

17. But I thought the Insurrectionists want cheap ignorant labor.

They are killing that workforce so yes, to what end.

Maybe as simple as, “reducing the surplus population”*

(“They” don’t deserve the name Republicans)

*Scrooge-1840ish

[multigraincracker]

2. Does he pray,

just incase there is a God?

[azureblue]

18. he's a baptist

so he will go to church and ask for forgiveness, and everything will be just fine. He can kill hundreds, but as long as he asks for forgiveness, it's OK.

[olegramps]

20. They attend Church after a night of drinking and whipping slaves and selling cotton nostalgia.

[certainot]

38. yeah but they may have excused that the previous sunday

[SharonClark]

3. In other words...covid is bad but I'm not doing anything in my power to try

to stop its spread and I want to piss on Joe Biden who is trying to stop the spread and save lives in my state of MS.

[mobeau69]

4. He was made to look like the pathetic person he is.

[tavernier]

26. Really? By Tapper?

I didn’t see it so I don’t know, but lately Jake Tapper has been kicking Joe Biden around daily so I’m a bit surprised.

[mobeau69]

42. You're right about Tapper. Regardless, he did a good job on the fat face MS governor.

[Champp]

5. The systematic death-by-COVID-lies Republican strategy

does indeed appear quite purposeful. All that suffering and death. All that private and public expense. The Radical Republican Right (RRR) is in no way actually "conservative."

[Botany]

8. But the man does dish out some deep dish down home cornpone jibberish

Link to tweet

And yes, I can't put a finger on as per why they are actively spreading the disease but even Gov. T'aint admitted
that the vaccines help in stopping the spread of the C-19 virus but still his policies work to spread the disease.

2022 should be a walk over for the Democrats. Are you for of against the disease?

[certainot]

23. limbaugh explained dems (communists!) would use the pandemic to pass socialist big

govt solutions - the kinds of solutions we need for COVID, global warming, poverty, inequality etc,

there is also trump wanting to make it worse because he got the worst case scenarios from intel early and liked them - emergency powers, cancelling elections etc. if trump was going to do anything to slow the pandemic he would not have used limbaugh to call it a hoax

limbaugh/republicans/putin used ebola to scare the base in 2014 and get 9 senate seats and why wouldn't they use it again in 2019? despite social media/radio? campaign (russia?) in congo to get locals to attack clinics, and limbaugh starting the lies about congolese with ebola coming in with the caravans, they got it under control - and then came COVID to the rescue. trump/limbaugh was stupid enough to think they could use it like ebola

and now dumbfuck dittohead republican governors are still following a similar script, maybe partly responding to the dittohead base they serve

[Champp]

31. Wow, Limbaugh left a trail of death behind his multi-millionaire Republican butt

Why working men and women listened to a multi-millioniare propagagandist with such devotion, as he led them to vote against their own interests time and time again, is a mystery way beyond stupidity.

[certainot]

37. limbaugh killed more than hitler and stalin with smoking, covid, iraq, health care, deregulation,

poverty, etc

[Pepsidog]

6. He is a killer.

[Thomas Hurt]

7. so they can blame the Democrats and Joe.

[Ocelot II]

10. Bingo.

[MustLoveBeagles]

12. The party of personal responsibility always blames others for their own actions

[aggiesal]

11. To what end they're doing this I don't know but ...

he would own the libs!
Suck on that liberals, how does it feel being owned.

That's pretty much what he's saying.

[rurallib]

15. My take: so people will stay home and the economy will tank

Most people vote their pocketbook. If they can scare people into staying home, not participating in the economy thus causing layoffs and a second round of recession Republicans will use their large stake in the media to claim it is the Dems fault.

They will do anything in the pursuit of power, beginning with the debt ceiling in a couple of weeks.

Hard to believe they would kill their own people as a scare tactic, but whatever they need to do to get power.

[aggiesal]

28. They will do anything in the pursuit of power ...

See, they would own the libs!

[Jon King]

13. Guess we will have to import young minds from China and India to run our high tech future.

All these dimwits wasting day after month after year on utter crap while the Chinese and other countries focus on educating their youth for the future.

The future will leave these people and their kids far behind. Meanwhile as we move into more and more high tech and green energy jobs in the future, we will have to import young minds for our work force from other countries.

But yeah, keep owning the libs. Your kids will end up much worse off economically than your parents were and you are.

[ShazamIam]

14. I wonder if at least part of the Republican/conservative resistance to vaccine is based on their

insistence that, "natural immunity," will naturally solve the problem. According to their theory, letting a small percentage die is fine if the majority becomes immune. Of course there is no record of, natural immunity, except via vaccinations. And they are ignoring both re-infections and long COVID-19.

We still have cholera, typhoid, they are controlled by strict sanitation, not natural immunity.

And of course where is this natural immunity for, colds, bronchitis, pneumonia and annual flu break-outs.

[DBoon]

39. I think they still believe in eugenics

people with 'superior" genes will get over the disease with minor symptoms.

The ones who die are genetically inferior and deserve to die.

It will improve the "race" by eliminating the inferior.

[ShazamIam]

40. That would be part of it, meanwhile the rich get vaccinated.

[DBoon]

41. being rich automatically makes you genetically superior

kind of like divine right of kings for a secular society

[rickford66]

16. Fascism thrives on chaos.

[AZLD4Candidate]

19. Translation: I haven't the foggiest idea of what to do, so let's play Pin the Blame on the Donkey

[Botany]

24. If only we had some statistics about the vaccines.

Link to tweet

BTW Gov. T'aint knows that vaccines, masks, and social distancing works.

[NoMoreRepugs]

27. Foul Mouthed Mom is F'en AWESOME.

Numbers don’t lie, Republicans only know how to lie.

[Botany]

29. Actually her #s for getting the disease or dying from the disease are I think a little low.

We should be closer to 1 in 50 people who get C-19 die from it. I am willing to bet we are
well north of 1 million Americans who have died from the disease but God only knows how
many people died from C-19 but whose deaths were attributed to C-19.

However that tiktok video should be shown 24/7 and any and all places too.

[PatrickforB]

21. Republicans - the party of lies, stupidity, treason and death. n/t

[overleft]

22. They would rather see you die than to see Biden succeed!

[Maraya1969]

35. That's it. And I'm waiting for a newscaster to have the balls to say it on TV

[Fortinbras Armstrong]

25. Mississippi has strict vaccination mandates for children about to go to school

Vaccinations against Measles, Mumps, Rubella, Whooping Cough, Diphtheria, Tetanus, Meningococcal Meningitis and Chicken Pox are all required. Is the gov going to change those rules?

[Haggard Celine]

33. That's right!

Mississippi has long had some of the strictest standards in the country regarding children being vaccinated for school. That just goes to show you that this bullshit about not requiring the Covid vaccine because 'freedom ' is totally about politics.

[deurbano]

30. Did Tapper go after him for his previous claim that people in MS are dying so much because they're

so Christian? Apparently they aren't the chicken babies the rest of us are because they know they will have pie in the sky when they die. (So don't need vaccines and masks in this brief, staging area... though you'd think that would also mean they don't need guns.) Of course, at other times, the governor just resorts to blaming the crisis on black people--like Abbott blames migrants--because the only possible alternative to downplaying it (and making so little effort to contain it) is to blame it on black and brown people. (Oh wait, I forgot.... they can also blame Biden.)

[Scruffy1]

32. I don't watch television for a good reason.

I of course didn't see the interview, but it looks like even Tapper doesn't have the balls to tell him to either answer the question or STFU and get out. I doubt if even Taint believes the BS he hands out but this kind of shit feeds his rabid base. They need to de platform them and quit giving them exposure.

[Maraya1969]

34. How I wish someone would accuse them of this on TV. Just come out and say

what everyone is thinking.

[dsc]

36. When I lived in Mississippi for a few years we had

a horrible Governor named Kirk Fordice (he lost while I was there) and I thought they couldn't do worse, well they proved me wrong.
