Gohmert's Positive COVID Test Demonstrates Something Important

People who avoid masks for appearances sake or to send a message mingle together in places like the House of Representatives. There is a real risk that they will infect each other en masse before too long. I hope our Democratic House reps are following good practice and avoiding non-masked Republicans like the plague they represent.

It may not be long before a hella bunch of GOOPer House Members are sidelined by their own positive COVID tests. Senators, too. Let them infect each other, but Democrats should carefully avoid being near un-masked colleagues and practice mask-wearing and social distancing religiously.

It is impossible to be too cautious.

Dems. Most of them are smart enough to avoid them. With any luck, they will be infecting themselves.

3. I think they hang around other GOOPers most of the time.

They think they're immune to the virus, or that it is a hoax, or maybe they're just as stupid as they sound. Who knows, but they don't like talking to Democrats, but they love mingling with one another.

Just spreading the love, you see...

2. If enough Senators catch it

Moscow Mitch might not have a quorum to cram more toxic judges onto our Federal Bench.

Good news - bad news.

I think it might take a huge number of these people being sick for some folks in our country to finally understand what's going on.

How nuts are these guys? (I know rhetorical question) I still have a hard time wrapping my head around these fools that refuse to wear masks and follow proper procedures.

grounds. The virus doesn't care about any of that. It's almost not even a living thing, but it can sure kill you.

They think they're immune for some reason and that they don't have to be careful. That could knock a bunch of them out of play soon.

And as noted purely apolitical. On the other hand, the political brains of deniers in question are dumber than the "bug" itself!

12. Just like when they accused Obama of being a muslim and radical christian at the same time.

Either Louie opposed masks and didn't wear them or he did with his pathetic blame excuse. Which is it Louie? Were you lying then or are you lying now about masks?

One trademark of Republicans is they want to have it both ways all the time.

probably keep it under wraps since this wouldn't look really good to voters, who are already giving the PINO bad marks for his dismal failures in handling (a joke) the CV epidemic. They are really starting to all look like idiots, aren't they (republican House and Senate members and their staffs, including rump and staff, all falling sick)? Pathetic.
