Well some people are enjoying the pandemic. The other Republican Senator was not available to mock Covid-19 because he is under quarantine after being exposed to the virus.

Stitt's tweet has also brought renewed attention to a 2018 speech he gave calling for vaccination to be a "choice."

In the speech -- which was reported by The Daily Beast -- Stitt says, "We've got six children and we don't vaccinate, we don't do vaccinations on all of our children. So we definitely pick and choose which ones we're going to do. It's got to be up to the parents, we can never mandate that."

Stitt's campaign website dismissed the article as "clickbait" and stated he did not support "changing current state law on mandated vaccines."

That’s......not how autocorrect works Senator.

Like, even if you misspell ridiculous autocorrect doesn’t offer “retarded” as an option.


And “retarded” doesn’t seem to be a word it would ever give you, like a curse word.



Fat fingers? More like fat liar.

It's incredibly boomer of him to blame it on autocorrect, but if his phone is autocorrecting "ridiculous" to "retarded", then he must be using the word "retarded" an awful lot.

Yep, it's the government's fault alright, but just not for the reasons you expect:

Quote

First District Congressman Kevin Hern was the only member of Oklahoma’s House delegation present for Friday’s voice vote on the $2.2 trillion.

COVID-19 relief bill, but all five supported it to some extent or another.

Hern said the measure is necessary but only because “government caused these problems by forcing our businesses to close.”

 

 

Quote

“There is a great deal to be happy about with this legislation,” Hern said. “This isn’t a bailout. It’s a repayment of what the government has taken away from American workers and businesses. ... Yes, this is unprecedented spending, but these are unprecedented times.”

I guess when your (read: Republican party) path to success was to just fucking lie about everything I guess it shouldn't come as any surprise that it's eventually all you know how to do. The motherfuckers have lied to themselves and us for so long they can't see their way around them

Republicans are fundamentally dishonest - with themselves and others - that is why they love Trump so much, and a huge part of why he has 100% approval sand support among Republican elected officials and Republican voters.  They absolutely love his complete and constant dishonesty.  And now they all get to do it all out in the open, because Trump gives them all permission to lie with impunity, and rewards them for it.

TALLAHASSEE — The staggering unemployment exploding on President Donald Trump’s watch would worry any incumbent running for reelection, but troubles in Florida are injecting an added dose of fear into a jittery GOP.

Already anxious about Trump’s chances in the nation’s biggest swing state, Republicans now are dealing with thousands of unemployed workers unable to navigate the Florida system to apply for help. And the blowback is directed straight at Trump’s top allies in the state, Gov. Ron DeSantis and Sen. Rick Scott.

Privately, Republicans admit that the $77.9 million system that is now failing Florida workers is doing exactly what Scott designed it to do — lower the state’s reported number of jobless claims after the great recession.

“It’s a sh-- sandwich, and it was designed that way by Scott,” said one DeSantis advisor. “It wasn’t about saving money. It was about making it harder for people to get benefits or keep benefits so that the unemployment numbers were low to give the governor something to brag about.”

Republican Party of Florida chairman Joe Gruters was more succinct: “$77 million? Someone should go to jail over that.” 

With hundreds of thousands of Floridians out of work, the state’s overwhelmed system is making it nearly impossible for many people to even get in line for benefits.

After a record number of claims were reported Thursday, DeSantis said the state would resort to paper applications, build a mobile app to handle the flood of traffic and deploy hundreds, even thousands, of state workers to provide stopgap help. 

Congress last week delivered relief in the form of a $2 trillion stimulus packagethat directs cash to the unemployed. But to get that money into the pockets of Floridians, the state will have to duct-tape the rickety web-based unemployment system to deliver it.

It’s a monumental task. The system has had problems from its very start in 2013, and was one reason state senators refused in 2015 to confirm Scott’s pick to run the agency that manages unemployment benefits. 

The new online system was part of a series of changes designed to limit benefits. The ultimate goal — which it delivered on — was to lower unemployment taxes paid by Florida businesses. A 2011 analysis done by the Florida Legislature estimated that the changes pushed by Scott would save businesses more than $2.3 billion between 2011 and 2020. 

Now, as thousands of people try to get help, the system crashes or denies them access. Nearly 400,000 people have managed to file claims in the last two and half weeks. It’s not known how many have tried and failed. 

Most of those who do submit applications won’t qualify for aid, and the benefits that are paid out are among the most meager in the country — a maximum of $275 a week.

“This is horrible for people. I don’t want to minimize that,” one DeSantis adviser told POLITICO. “But if we have to look past the crisis, it’s bad for the president and it’s bad for the governor.”

“Everyone we talk to in that office when we ask them what happened tells us, ‘the system was designed to fail,’” the adviser said. “That’s not a problem when unemployment is 2.8 percent, but it’s a problem now. And no system we have can handle 25,000 people a day.”

State auditors have routinely chronicled shortcomings with the CONNECT system, most recently in a report issued in March 2019, two months after DeSantis took office.

The last 40 years of republican neoliberal rule have gotten us to this point and have in one single generation destroyed the richest and greatest country that ever existed. And they did it in 40 years. Private prisons, jail time for pot, the crappiest food in the world, epidemic obesity levels, shitty health care, a service based economy based on servitude. And for what? So the rich could run off to bunkers when things go bad. What kind of life and country is that? Time for a change.

I'm sure there are exceptions, but it sure seems like all evangelicals are pieces of shit who try to cover for that with their phony religiosity. 

[Mrs Whiggins 13050]

It's pretty easy to sort out the exceptions. The exceptions are the ones who refuse to use religion as a club with which they beat everyone except themselves. Former roommate of my husband in college used to scare me. He was studying to get into medical school. He had the philosophy that there were three potential vocations for him: doctor, politician, or pastor. He stated that he belonged in a position to wield power over people and that people should follow him. He bombed his MCAT and the rest of his app was probably trash since I never could tell that he did much of anything but last I heard he went back to his hometown and set up shop in a church.

Folks, remember this the next time religious zealots lecture you on the sanctity of the First Amendment.  Remember that what they really mean is "First Amendment for me, not for thee."  They value none -- NONE of the values embedded in the Constitution.  They simply extract the First Amendment's protection of the free exercise of religion, extrapolate that to "because everything I want to do, I can justify on the basis of religion, I can do whatever I want to whoever I want," and wad the remainder of the Constitution up and toss it in the trash.

They are anti-Constitutionalists, using the Constitution as a weapon against we the people.  They are scum.  They are evil.
