1. Kick and recommend for truth.

[Wounded Bear]

2. K & R...for truth...nt

[Grasswire2]

3. See NYT today for article on the particular vulnerability of his base.

Obesity, diabetes, poor diet.

Hallmarks of the poor southern states.

[tblue37]

4. Yeah, I read that. nt

[thesquanderer]

5. No to be ghoulish about it, but those states could lose nearly their entire population...

...and they would still give Trump the same number of electoral votes if Trump got the votes of more than half the survivors.

[CaptYossarian]

8. What about guns, opiates, and Darwin?

These rubes think the Dukes of Hazzard was a documentary. I've driven through the south. No wonder they're religious.

[erronis]

13. Great line: These rubes think the Dukes of Hazzard was a documentary.

So apt.

They also probably think Apollo 13 was a fantasy.... Oh, wait.

[CaptYossarian]

21. Apollo 13 was real. He fought Rocky Bullwinkle.

[Brother Mythos]

20. "These rubes think the Dukes of Hazzard was a documentary." I love it!

9. Don't sell us short in Iowa!

No. 4 on the obesity list with a GOP governor who won't tell us to stay home.

Woo-hoo!

[DarleenMB]

11. Or Wyoming

Just because we have an idiot in the Governor's mansion doesn't mean we're all brain dead. I went into self-isolation almost a month ago. Most of my friends have done the same.

17. Some of us in Arkansas are paying attention.

My house mate hasn't left the house since she got back from Dallas 3 weeks ago. I've been out for groceries once a week, been to doctor's office for routine check and went to my quarantined daughter's once for her birthday. She has been hiding out with her boys since schools closed.

And each time I left my shoes outside, changed clothes and showered upon my return. Maybe too much but I don't care. Next time I go out I'll wear a mask. So far, only reported 1 case in town. We've decided it may be better our hospital is closed, because the sick won't be coming to town.

It's ridiculous we must do this, but I, remember The Andromeda Strain, The Omega Man, The Stand, etc. which make me properly paranoid. Maybe we can survive despite the Criminals in DC & Little Rock.

6. KNR

[gademocrat7]

7. K&R!

The rethugs own this lock, stock and barrel.

[EleanorR]

10. Red state governors have likely been told they will receive supplies seized from blue states

Florida has everything they need and then some.

23. Wait . . . whoa . . .

" PPE . . . being confiscated by U S Customs . . . "

AYFKM ???????

I had NOT read this or seen it. This is without legal precedent.

[Ninga]

12. Yep...k&r

[Ferrets are Cool]

14. That's why this country needs a President

[BKDem]

15. Never forget that the Republicans promised us that Obamacare would bring us Death Panels.

But it took official Republican stupidity to make actually it happen.

[Hermit-The-Prog]

16. No longer the Grand Old Party; it's the Grim Reaper Party -- your money and your life.

[dalton99a]

18. Kick

[Ad Infinitum]

19. GREED & /or GRAFT

This might not have been a plot

But it is unfolding like a movie screenplay

surreal/ all too real.

Never waste an opportunity to weaken the body politic
This is a rolling slow motion coup.
Taking advantage of the opportunity to decimate Democratic states.

[Aussie105]

26. movie screenplay?

A few years ago, any writer who brought this scenario to a movie studio would have been rejected as it being too far out there, too fanciful.

Now, you are living it. It would be a documentary, not another 'end of the world as we know it' film.

[calimary]

22. Hey, you folks struggling under republi-CON governors, YOU get to DIE for THEIR beliefs!

[Beartracks]

24. In case someone can't read the tweet on their device...

CNN tweeted:
Eight US governors have decided against issuing statewide directives urging their residents to stay at home as the outbreak of the coronavirus escalates and spreads across the country, the last holdouts in the nation. https://cnn.it/3bRkgNy

Seth Abramson replied:
Never forget that, at every level of government—local, state, federal—it was Republican officials who made the decisions that cost lives during this outbreak. And it was religious zealots on the far right who systematically disobeyed stay-at-home orders and endangered all of us.

25. Thanks. I need to start doing that. nt

[SleeplessinSoCal]

27. Same as it ever was.

Those same states didnt expand Medicaid for their most vulnerable because they dont want a functioning govt.
