COVID-19 notes from a blue precinct in a red state

Last edited Sun Mar 29, 2020, 03:39 PM - Edit history (1)

Update: The panel had to meet within three days of the governor's order. They did not rescind her stay at home order. There was some wacky talk about guns and things, but it was more an example of people playing nicely together than we see around her regularly. Taking it as a win, turning off the screens, and going outside.

At 2 p.m. today the GOP representatives will show how anti-life they really are.

I hate the way they mangle the language. Is it just ignorance? Sounds vaguely sexist to me.

I felt sick reading it.
Today is the day that I need to avoid news for about 6 hours and go outside to regain my sanity.
Who raised these people?
