yes very much so, another texas idiot who refused to wear a mask… jon stewart used to rip him to shreds

in the olden days, to plan a trip you needed a lonely planet guidebook and online reviews of local attractions.

in the age of COVID, you need this.  use the "event size" slider to pick size of event, then see on map what the chances are that at least once person is infected at that event.

Thanks. Will keep this in my brain on upcoming vacation. Maybe even reference it.

I can't help but think that if I hadn't been wearing a mask so much in the last 10 days or so, I really wonder if I would have gotten it."

Kevin McCarthy accidentally calls Louie Gohmert "Congressman COVID"

seems to me that "gohmert" is the worse part of that name.  sounds like a dim-witted sidekick from some 50's show: "righty then, i'll go rescue the dame while you… GOHMERT! leave those chickens alone and come help me, for gosh sake!"

Gomer Pyle from the Andy Griffith Show and then his spinoff.

thank you for doing what my brain could not.

Next to the Congressman, Gomer Pyle was a Mensa. He was also super nice, gentle, and talented.

Just today, I was thinking about how Republicans gave us Dubya, whom we thought was the stupidest yokel imaginable in the office, then managed to go even lower on the class ranking with Trump. Can the GOP top that?

GOHMERT 2024

valid point: if a dem was in office right now, the senate would have demanded impeachment. 

Been saying democrats should impeach again

But people say that’s counterproductive

I kind of accept that

weren't you against it the first time?

I think that the House should go through the motions and who cares if it gets to the senate
more investigations, more testimonies
Get some of these senators who are looking to lose there seat …if they refuse to appear, will look bad too

it will all get delayed in the courts, but there is no way it makes him look good

I was against it to a point in time…then I accepted it was impossible not to impeach even though it would not remove him from office

welp, if the following is true, we may well have a glimpse of the actually bottom. 

[font=georgia]How Jared Kushner’s Secret Testing Plan “Went Poof Into Thin Air[/font]
This spring, a team working under the president's son-in-law produced a plan for an aggressive, coordinated national COVID-19 response that could have brought the pandemic under control. So why did the White House spike it in favor of a shambolic 50-state response?


background/tl;dr from a friend:

"This looks really bad, and Vanity Fair has documents to back up their source. The White House had a nationwide testing/tracing plan in March, received the tests, but then axed the plan because the virus was affecting blue states worse at the time. They decided it would be a political mistake to institute nationwide testing when instead they could blame Democratic governors.

The deal was shady, too. They bought the tests from a UAE company totally off the books. The only reason we know about it is because that company has released the documents and receipts.

A national testing and tracing plan has been instrumental in every country that has successfully managed covid-19. If the White House's plan was put into action in April, as was originally the goal, it could have saved tens of thousands of lives and prevented the severe economic damage that we are now facing. Instead, the White House wanted the opportunity to criticize Cuomo and praise DeSantis. Now New York has turned it around while Florida, Texas, and Arizona are the epicenters. I would say "womp womp" if it wasn't so fucking tragic."



i'm generally not in favor of another impeachment, but should the above be true i'd be willing to make an exception.

I’m no doctor
but I have not heard any reports of widespread infections from any of the protests
If there are I would like to know

biggest issues have been bars churches, nursing homes and indoor events
I heard close contact for prolonged periods of time is the high risk
