Trump and his cult are monsters. We react to monsters in one of two ways:

we either drive them away or we destroy them.

Let's begin.

Ok, so we can't jail everyone who violates a stay-at-home order and fining people who are

out of work doesn't make much sense. So, what penalty should be imposed on the scofflaws? I have a suggestion.

Police should "ticket" violators who refuse to wear masks, gather for large parties or disobey police orders to disperse. One ticket would have no penalty just because everyone gets to be stupid once. But, the second ticket would disqualify the offender from any government stimulus or bailout payments. The third would mean that if the offender became infected with the Corona virus, they would go to the end of the line for treatment---behind all law-abiding patients. They would get a hospital bed or oxygen or a ventilator only if no one who had followed the recommended protocols needed it at the same time.

These people claim that there is no reason for these "infringements" on their liberty; that only people who "were gonna die anyway" would be in danger. So, they should have no problem with these "tickets", right?

Let them put up or shut up.

Could those who post clips from David Packman please label them as such.

Some may feel that giving Mr. Packman 5 minutes of face time in order to watch a 20 second video or read a few lines of transcript is worthwhile. I do not and "click off" each time I unknowingly select such a post and see his name writ bold on a black screen before he appears.

Thanks.

Joe Biden should make public all records from the time Ms Reade worked for his office

just as soon as Trump makes public all of his records from the times when the TWENTY FIVE WOMEN who have accused him of predatory sexual behavior say the assaults and rapes occurred AND releases the last ten years of his tax returns.

Marsha Blackburn is continuing the Virginia Foxx-Michelle Bachman-Sarah Palin

GOP tradition of being such a vacuous twit that men like the truly ignorant Louie Gohmert can say "At least I'm not THAT stupid!"
