Your Dear Leader is not satisfied with you risking your own lives by going out unmasked and non-distanced. Now he wants your kids.
Trump wants all schools to be reopened immediately. And if youre a true believer, you wont have a problem with that idea.
But here are some helpful hints:
If you have several children of school age, send them back one at a time starting with the kid you like the least. That way if he or she dies of Covid-19, its not as heart-wrenching a loss as it would be if it was your favourite. (Its just like if the Trump kids were still in grade school you know that Eric would be the first one shoved out the door.)
Look on the bright side. Once the funeral is over, you can start turning the deceaseds bedroom into the home office or den youve always wanted maybe buy that pool table youve had your eye on, now that you have somewhere to put it!
Keep in mind that thanks to the GOPs love affair with the NRA, your child could have been the victim of a school shooting anyway. So its not like their education was ever a risk-free situation to begin with.
In these uncertain economic times, having one less kid to feed and clothe could be a godsend for many. And if you wind up losing more than one, that two-week cruise youve always dreamed about could become a reality.
One caution, though: If you do wind up losing a child, please dont whinge and carry on about it. Its not as great a tragedy as not being able to get your nails done so dont act like it is.
Sadly, weve all seen just how much you Trump-humpers care about your fellow citizens so watching you willingly sacrifice your own offspring on the altar of The Orange One wont come as any great surprise.

But we are living in very dark times, and ignoring that fact has become a dereliction of duty.
These rabid fuckers need to be called out at every opportunity.

(27,813 posts)... I would agree with the sentiment.
But given where we are, NOT being nice (by masking, distancing, etc.) is costing lives.

(7,828 posts)He IS a sadist who enjoys pitting all of us against each other and savoring the anger, pain, and chaos. He has no empathy nor any conventional sense of responsibility.

They want to use this opportunity to further destroy public education and those teachers who promote union deviltry.
