Floridians are masking up to avoid the DeathSantis.
@My Perspective Masks maybe 10 percent effective, the vaccine more than makes up for the difference. Does your Mommy know you are trying to argue with Adults? I was taught better
@Albosqeez well thank you for information. Glad you don’t use the masks or have not gotten the vaccination. You are a true trump American.
You a mess. LOL!
@harktz where are you getting your information from because I haven’t read or seen this anywhere?
@Kevin Santich Blame Immigrants! Why? The real people spreading Covid-19 are Ignorant people like you!!
“Partner in death.” Well said, Joy 😆👏
@Kevin Santich Fox News is banned in the UK. 😊
@catalinacurio yeah and look how much better the UK is doing Covid wise
@MK Self They must be tunneling in UNDER the Colorado River…
Or, they’re from Needles and Barstow.🤣🤣🤣🤣
@neb Hahahahaha!!!!
What a CROCK OF CRACK..CRAP!!🤪🤪
@catalinacurio As it should be!
Ron DeathSentence was elected to govern, not to be stubborn.
Stubborn goes hand in hand with stoopid.
I love the moniker you chose for him! LOL!!!
True Republicans have stopped beliving in governing 40 years ago under Reagan. Remember the nine most frightening words?
Then Grover Norquist and his “bathtub” government came and many many politicians on the level of governors or members of Congress signed it to be electable in that party… McConnel is not coming into his blockage politics by chance he is the culmination and purification of a deep seated mistrust and hatred of all federal authority.
Until one day they will shrink their own rule in high level government out of existence with such stunts.
@Sue Howie And strangely, every post and response I see from right-wingers somehow points the finger at Joe Biden. It’s like they instantly forgot all the heinous crap that Trump did over the past 4 years.
@Don Newton They forgive their Orange God everything..
These governor needs to be removed from office.
You can’t fix stupid but covid can!!
@thomas grabkowski no, its not… the majority of unvaccinated people are white republicans, not POC…
@Noreb POC are disproportionally unvaccinated. Sure most unvaccinated are white, but its because whites are majority of population, but POC disproportionally make up unvaccinated. Its the same logic as things like poverty and police shootings. As for Republicans, unfortunately, yes they are also disproportionally unvaccinated. Same goes with young people, but also rural people
@thomas grabkowski yeah and POC also make up an incredibly wide and diverse group of different populations, where as white republicans are a specific demographic which are more likely to have access to vaccinations while still refusing to take it.
its a blatant attempt to misrepresent the data to shift blame from those who are responsible for the low vaccination rates..
@Noreb All the groups I mentioned are partially responsible for insufficient vaccination rate. As for POC, yes, some groups like Asians and Natives have high rates, but larger minority groups like blacks and Hispanics have low rates
@thomas grabkowski again, the way this talking point is being presented and used is to deflect responsibility from the majority demographic which is refusing to accept life saving medicine because theyve been programed by their propaganda machines to think its not what it is…
there is no historical reason for the distrust as with many minority groups within the US, its just flagrant selfish and prideful ignorance.
Common refrain: “you cant fix stupid”
COVID-19: But I will…
Covid-19:” I Alone Can Fix It”. May tRump live long enough to eat those words.
@Kyoril Yes, the majority of the unvaccinated are Republicans , so let them act crazy. They”re killing themselves. Just sit back and observe.
@Kyoril idiots, Brainwashed by government are the WORST & MOST DANGEROUS
@Puppet Master not soon enough
@Wendy W Classic Qanon’s always high on drugs!! Just stop crying and take your children to Matt Gaetz!
History will not be kind to these killers of children and the elderly.
@My Perspective If males cared about abortions they would wear protection or don’t commit fornication.
@My Perspective “Feminine emotions”?
Oh, do tell, how are “masculine emotions” different?
It’s not just children and the elderly now.
So Cuomo is GUILTY as charged by you??
@Ed Divel yes. Why are you too stupid to read that? And so full of hate you can’t see how the failure was on your side too.
Trump lost in 2020 precisely cuz he mishandled covid. Ron and Greg are not too bright to think doing the same thing will somehow have different results.
@Kayano Reeves Yea yea.. It was the “Immaculate Selection”.
The machines printed out a win. yes we know that.
nice lie and bull crap
They did not JUST do that though, they also tried to break democracy and make voting harder, in preparation for the public’s outrage.
@TheMeMe2047 Here we have NPC on cow dewormer totally loopy!
D G, they’re the very epitome of the definition of insanity: doing the same thing over and over, and expecting a different result.
Noem received calls telling her if she went full death cult she’d lose election monies.
But she is helping out with Climate Change. Less people, less carbon footprint.
@olwe1000 holy cow Batman we missed that silver lining 😊🤘🇺🇲✌️
@olwe1000 I forgot, lololol 😀😃😄😆😅😂🤣. Great reply
@olwe1000 sadly, I’m gonna come back to your comment to get that chuckle it gave me a couple times in the last 5mins
In any half-sane country these governors would be in prison on charges of crimes against humanity and multiple culpable homicide, and possibly never get out.
Why? For treating people like adults and letting them make their own decisions instead of mandates? They want their citizens to be free to choose what protective measures to take not tell them what they have to do. Geez.
@Daniel Dos Santos that would work if these people actually had the intellect and maturity of an adult. Sadly they don’t. And people lacking those characteristics aren’t capable of making wise decisions.
@Daniel Dos Santos weird. You can exercise your freedom to spread a pandemic that kills your own people, but you can’t use your freedom to refuse compulsory conscription .
Raising health insurance premiums for the unvaccinated is a good idea.
@My Perspective who did Nazis and the kkk endorse..during the 2016 and 2020 elections…..just curious if you have the stones to answers honestly…remind me again who David Duke stumped for again?
@thomas grabkowski In this country there are 3 vaccines available. They are given to everyone. No one is being singled out to take a particular one based on skin color. I don’t know about vaccines the world over as they are not relevant here. I hate to see people die, no matter the location, but my main concern and my previous statement were regarding the situation in the US. That is where Tuskegee happened and is being used in the black community as an excuse for vaccine hesitancy. Just isn’t relevant since we have a fully approved vaccine now. That vaccine is being given to everyone, not just POC.
@Randi Bagley-Goodwin I may be wrong, but I think *My Perspective* believes POC with diabetes should be charged higher premiums… never mind that white people have diabetes too. Also, there are some born with diabetes which has nothing to do with their lifestyle/eating habits. Perspective sounds pretty racist.
Except alot of people dont have health insurance….figure that one out.
AND DISCRIMINATION!
We all need to sue these so called leaders. There MUST be a remedy and accountability.
@Nameless Progressive Clone say it all you want. Doesnt turn your lying words to truth.
@Susan Kaeser
Everything single thing I said is a verifiable fact. If facts hurt your feelings, that’s your problem.
@Nameless Progressive Clone you are the one pouting and arguing with a nobody
They are already being sued over mask mandate. There was a ruling in Texas that the governor can’t force a ban on mask mandates and I am hoping that it will be the same case here in Florida.
@Susan Kaeser
Pouting?
No, scolding. But it’s difficult to convey that through text alone.
Can the medical providers in those locations sue those governors for pain and suffering?
Qualified immunity
I don’t think so 😢
@little red hen Immunity??
You mean like CUOMO? AND LARDASS45?
There is NO IMMUNITY for Losers.
It doesn’t matter what station they hold.
If a Klown is a POS and threatening the lives of citizens en masse, they are not taking care of their constituents.
They deserve to be prosecuted to the fullest extent of the law.
@Babbi MacKnight You would think there’d be some sort of class action they could do I mean it’s a public health crisis that these governors are creating
@Amber S I could not agree with you more. Let’s hope🤞
Great show! Abbott, Noem and DeSantis – governors of Death!!
And Cuomo?
Please start looking at Gov.Bill Lee of TN. He’s being sneaky.
Of Course He is from TN. The Governor’s are White Hooded Good ol boys!! Very Racist State…I know I was born there!!!
Gregg Abbott now against the school students, against companies in his state. Vote him out before more people die due to his ignorance.
@Stephanie Lane it will happen. If not this election cycle then probably the next.
@Stephanie Lane I’ve been doing everything I can to make sure that the GOP loses Texas.
This Veteran says Thank You for your service!!
🤝🤜🤛
@Cheryl Jones Doing all I can!
@Jeremy Ramey from your lips to God’s (whom the Republicans claim but show little evidence of knowing) ears!
republican voters see utter failure as a virtue.
@Maes DeJardin Ever hear of the interstate?
@Guided Meditation I’m sorry!
But, did you just fart online?
@Guided Meditation Ain’t nobody more ignorant than Reich Trash, Pal.
@Guided Meditation Cuomo was forced out of office by Democrats for his covid nursing home policy and his work environment.
Trump was committing crimes and Republicans protected him.
Tucker Carlson and Lara Ingram are pushing sham treatments and now Alabama Poison Control’s number one call is about a drug that is meant to worm horses and cows.
Goofballs won’t take a vaccine that’s been studied for this virus, and approved by the FDA and 99.9% of Drs. are advising their patients to take it. But, they’ll take a cow dewormer because Tucker Carlson said it will treat Covid.
F_cking Morons. I think it’s Darwinism at it finest. Unfortunately a bunch of them have already procreated.
Maybe not utter failure, but anything that takes power away from the Feds to their local authorities is playing into their weird worldview that dislikes agreement and collaboration.
Abbott, DeSantis and Noem’s “Sacrifice of the Children” for their perceived “Political gains” continues unabated.
@dknowles60 Of course, Qanon, of course! Now don’t cry and worship Matt Gaetz that will make you feel better!
@Vicky P still cant handle the turth
@Nameless Progressive Clone You forgot to mention that this was in 2009.
Just posted that the Judge ruled against Abbott! Nanner nanner!
@dknowles60 Wait a minute. It is just like committing suicide if you don’t get vaccinated and wear your masks in this climate. If not you then you should be tried for murder of you infect someone who really wants a future!
I’m a vaccinated Texan and all of them should be put on a “Covid island” where they can have their “freedom” to let the virus run rampant. I hope everyone in all these states and others across the country, remember what all they’ve done and continue to do. They’re prolonging the pandemic but yet don’t want to help the people that are still struggling financially or take responsibility for the hospitals busting at the seams. They only care about themselves and their political ambitions. VOTE BLUE IN 2022!!
We should put them all in LA, MS & AL, since those are barely states to begin with.
@Mister X 🤣🤣🤣🤣
Impressive Amigo!!
So your the Nazi and I thought it was Trump supporters.
Put them on Snake Island
This reminds me of school shootings when people don’t care enough about dead kids to do something.
They care more about kids not wearing masks then they do about kids getting shot in schools!
Texas doesn’t. We solved that problem. Shoot back.
Abbott & Patrick are too busy constructing new schemes to funnel taxpayer $$$ to their pockets to bother with meaningful decisions for the public good. They did NOTHING about mass murder in Texas. Instead, they pushed their insane Republican “constitutional” carry & “no mandates” BS like a Tom DeLay-Rick Perry $$$ laundry.
Most of us who live in FL would love to see DeSatan out, on an island, by himself, permanently!
Island??
Make DeSuckass swim there!!
I hear the sharks battle alligators for the finer pickings!
