Kimmy went to suck up to Sickfuck von Bodybags

Ugh

Governor Kim Reynolds (R-IA) was at the White House Wednesday meeting with President Donald Trump. The conversation focusing on Iowa's response to the coronavirus and its reopening.

"This is an opportunity for me to say thank you for the incredible partnership that we've had throughout this pandemic," said Reynolds.

The governor gives partial credit to the Trump administration for her state's ability to scale up testing, which she says is allowing her to open up parts of Iowa's previously shuttered economy. The reopening comes despite increases in cases and deaths in the state.

"I didn't rip off the bandaid, I didn't flip a light switch. We've done it in a very responsible safe manner," said Reynolds.


Minnesota is looking better and better with each passing day.

That is the most charitable thing I can think of saying about her.

There are some great words in Yiddish that describe her well.

We are looking to move out of here too. I have had a lot of good experiences here but lately they seem to be outnumbered by bad ones.

Going to try for the bar up in Minnesota since the state government seems slightly more sane up there.

Seems that Iowa continues to suffer from the 'Let's Export the BEST of our crop to other states' syndrome. This seems really strange considering thru out millennia, it's been common practice to try and KEEP the BEST of the crop for next year and future years production foundation materials. If you do leave, BEST OF LUCK to you, and please continue to occasionally post in IOWA forum

Good choice. Good luck
