I apologize if that wasn't clear.
You and Geezer are both right.

It wasn't clear.

AND

I wanted to change the subject.

Gorka is gross.

Not too sure how much clearer I could have made it but if it wasn't clear to you - I am sorry about that.
Obviously, as some of our recent exchanges have proven, I'm not always clear about things you post either. Hopefully going forward we can be respectful towards one another and give each other clarification - if we ask for it and truly care.

Trouble for hard core Republicans, who've told us over and over that government is bad and all, every single one of those politicians is evil, and that all those more liberal than they are condescending to all the Bubbas out there....trouble is that all those Republicans are now opposing physicians.

And even many of the stupid, illiterate, ill-educated Bubbas have listened in their personal lives to a doctor explain some technical stuff about some disease and some procedure they've never heard of and don't really understand. Have listened to some explanation about some new scientific finding and new drug created by folks in white coats with fancy degrees.

Perhaps for the ultra right wing and the Prosperity Gospelists the anti-science rhetoric still works, but for a lot of folks, they're listening to all those people on TV with all those letters behind their names, because they trusted that kind of person in their own lives.

Mitch the bitch makes me laugh.

Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell on Monday slammed former President Barack Obama for criticizing the Trump administration's response to the coronavirus pandemic during a private call last week, asserting that he "should have kept his mouth shut."
"I think it's a little bit classless, frankly, to critique an administration that comes after you."

Seems he's ignoring the fact that Obama did it while speaking to his (Obama's) and Biden's supporters on a "private" phone call.

I'm curious, how does Mitch feel about the sitting President publicly critiquing an administration that came before him - on a daily basis?

I don't know either, Gutter. Maybe it's just me, but I don't see a difference:

I know I am insane but the way out government is being run these days (by both "sides"), it almost makes me wish I knew who our "designated survivor" is.

Maybe this needs its own thread - the latest no-shame Republican: John Cornyn (A$$hole-TX)

https://www.huffpost.com/entry/john-cor ... 6c9a4d98d0

After voting more than a dozen times to repeal the Affordable Care Act and leading Senate Republican efforts to dismantle it, Sen. John Cornyn (R-Texas) said Monday that the “good news” is that people can sign up for President Barack Obama’s signature health care law if they’ve lost their jobs and need health insurance amid the coronavirus pandemic.

“The good news is that if you lose your employer-provided coverage, which covers about a 180 million Americans, that is a significant life event, which makes you then eligible to sign up for the Affordable Care Act,” Cornyn said in a PBS Austin interview. “As you know, it has a sliding scale of subsidies up to 400% of poverty. So that’s an option for people."

You really can't make this shit up. How lame. How weak. How hypocritical.

How republican.

I guess maybe Senator Burr should have known better than to allow a report to come out of the senate intelligence committee that didn't fully "exonerate" Trump in the Russian election scandal, huh? Or, is Senator Loeffler, next?

Before I read this thread, the "Flynn Scandal", like the "Benghazi Scandal", the "Obama wants to take away all our guns and lock us in FEMA camps", the "they want to unplug grandma", the "death panels", "Obama is a Muslim", "Obama wasn't born here", "Hillary sold our uranium to Russia" scandal, "Hunter Biden", and too many more to list or count, are all

"Slogans In Search of a Scandal".

Like voter suppression, i what happens when your policies are too repugnant to a majority of the electorate, so you can't possibly win if you run on them.

Well it's not just that - it's (as we've seen so many times) that there's a strong effort to blunt the impact of his own criminality and self-dealing by trying to blow the same dust on top of political opponents/surrogates.
