and the internet. Not to mention 4 years of a lunatic POTUS and his administration agreeing with and amplifying this same propaganda.

We are in the disinformation age and yes, it's that bad.

and do home treatments. They bitch about choice and then don't follow through.

risking YOUR life for these patients and their relatives are calling you a murderer.

It's beyond the pale.

that the reason people are dying of Covid there isn't because they're not vaccinated. It's because their hospital isn't giving good enough care, or offering the good drugs, or whatever.

If only the hospitals would offer ivermectin, everyone would survive! Or so these idiots think.

in the ER of a hospital in Boise. His heart had stopped. No beds in the hospital and no beds in other hospitals to transfer him to for a defibrillator implant. A doctor had to come to him from another hospital to do it. He was lucky because he is young.

Boise hospitals take patients from N. Nevada and Eastern Oregon as well as Idaho. Wonder what their combined vaccination rate is.

But scarier.

They're eating their own brains. Sauteed.

Why are they clotting up the hospitals when they are obviously not sick?

refuse treatment at hospitals to (Covid) unvaccinated adults. Let them suffer at home so others who need hospital care for other reasons have a chance to be admitted.

Both have specific responsibilities to protect the public written in law. They and the Legislature have chosen to play political power games rather than own-up to the genuine disaster facing the Citizens of Idaho whose well being and safety they are required and have sworn to protect.

I am speaking of real responsibilities not obligations of political form.

As I read it somewhere Ammon doesn't actually qualify to be a candidate under Idaho law. It's true he owns a house in Emmett. I can't recall ATM but there is some other disqualifying factor like that he's not registered to vote, or is not a member of the Republican party. He's way out of his lane whatever the details are. Among other things he's tried that sovereign citizen act which might just moot the whole argument for him being a credible Governor.

I'm not sure being completely unqualidied/ineligible ever stopped any of these idiots, but it's good to know.

I suspect if they wanted him they'd find ways to qualify him. He's not actually political material in terms of skills or the connections needed to rise to the Governor's office. He's charismatic for a certain audience and that's meaningful in Idaho but not enough to own the office without a great deal of support from the party.

I see him as a threat to the GOP and to the discussion of issues that an election process tends to be. Despite the hype of his past he's actually a grandstander who's getting a ride in the press until someone who's got background in the party steps up and asks the harder questions.

He's got no useful answers to COVID which is going to be a serious issue by the primary season. Trump isn't in love with him either. He's a party of one pretending to represent the broader populace in Idaho. He has no plans to put kids in school, to pave roads, or save the Idaho economy.

I think that empty promise will loom very large by the time people have to make up their minds. I don't know who they'll chose but I don't think Ammon will stand quite so tall by the time that choice is made.

them shooting guns will be the next Governor.

and acts like a cult...It's a cult. Trump Republicans have drunk the kool aid and there is no coming back. Wow America

WASF

Just pack up and leave, plenty of jobs in blue states. Each one of these deep red states should have its young people leave to go to college and never come back, and its professionals just leave and find a gig in a blue state. Scary for some who have never been out of the rural areas, but well worth it in the long run.

My thoughts precisely.

There are many many Blue States that would welcome you caregivers with open arms, and probably at a higher wage.
AND pay your moving/relocating expenses also........

And leave the Republican Governors and Politicians in those states to deal with that massive migration directly caused by their BS

Coincidentally & curiously, I am seeing a definite increase in TEXAS license plates here in Colorado. Considerably more than any other states.

This mom is worried. My daughter the doctor is working in an overloaded hospital in Montana and every one of her COVID patients is not vaccinated. Now we worry that she might be attacked as well. I am thankful that the National Guard is there too!!!

Acting like they need to save the world.
