How Far Will Repubs Go???
Not a fan of Fox News. This clip of Senator Tom Cotton was easy to install. Briefly and you can listen to the clip, Fox News host Maria Bartiromo states three Repub Senators are fighting COVID-19 infections.
Senator Cotton starts off with thanking Maria for the question and then states “I am doing fine” as if someone asked how he was feeling. This Senator is on the same plane as Ron Johnson for intelligence and which we will address later. Listen to the clip and you will hear and see why (a grinning Cotton), why I am suggesting these people are on the lowest plane for intelligence.
Herr Cotton suggested they can wheel Senators who are sick from Covid on to the Senate floor in order to vote. After all, Dems did such with an ailing 92 year old Senator Byrd who was not contagious. So why not Covid-contagious senators?
Both Lee and Tillis were at the Rose Garden on September 26 when Associate Justice nominee Amy Barrett was introduced by President donald trump and where it is believe many were exposed to Covid.
U.S. Sen. Ron Johnson announced Saturday he tested positive for COVID-19, the results of which came after attending a GOP fundraising event in Ozaukee County on Friday. After being tested, he decided to attend the fund raiser while he waited for the results because he did not have symptoms and the test was supposedly precautionary. Apparently, his chief of staff tested positive. Somehow, Johnson came into contact with his Chief of staff? “Quelle Surprise!” After being exposed to someone who tested positive, one quarantines themselves, something federal guidelines advise.
Oh and Senator Ron Johnson had this to say also:
1. “I’m not in favor of mask mandates, I think that’s up to individuals to be responsible. The jury is out. I think they’re helpful, but it’s certainly not a panacea, it’s not a cure-all.” “Key word here is think.”
2. “I’m not sick, I have no symptoms. I certainly didn’t anticipate testing positive, so there was no reason to quarantine.” No one anticipate a positive result and you do not have symptoms in the beginning to be contagious.
As a precaution, one should stay away from any Republican politicians. Johnson really sets the bar low for ignorance.

Human nature at work mostly. People who feel okay tend to lead their lives as if they are okay. I did not isolate while waiting on my second COVID test, but that was a protocol for a knee surgery….no symptoms and no known exposure.
Have to say that Ron Johnson being “dumb as a rock” is a slander to rocks I can understand him beating Feingold the first time around, but not the second. Of course, the good GOP women of Waukesha County–where all the white flight from Milwaukee went in the 60’s – gave Rittenhouse’s mother (who drove him to the scene of his double homicide) a standing ovation last week. I am more embarrassed about being from Wisconsin than at any time since Tailgunner Joe was in the Senate. And that includes when Jeffrey Dahmer’s crimes were discovered.
Terry:
You forgot Ed Gein. Wisconsin has had some real strange ones in the past.
Terry:
He does not impress me either.
I want to see Johnson and his ventilator rolled into the Senate chamber.

The Repub’s are already making Trump out to be the Covid hero/slayer.
Daniel:
So the f**ker thinks he is Chesty Puller. “They’re on our right, they’re on our left, they’re in front of us, they’re behind us; they can’t get away from us this time.” trump has done nothing by himself in his entire life. Marine One is not going to show up in my front yard to take this old Marine (me) to the hospital. I may walk in like I did when my heart was fluttering or my wife of 49 years will drive me to the hospital in a seven-year-old Ford Escape. No team of doctors lying to the public, no blonde-haired press secretary making things up on how I am fighting back. The 6’1″, 300# piece of lard is called trump a coward. He does us all a disservice
