Jump into the volcano but do wear gloves
On the one hand – wear masks, maintain distance, stay away if you’re at risk – on the other hand, have fun, knock yourselves out, MAGA. Clear?
Pam Bondi, one of Trump’s lawyers who served as Florida’s attorney general from 2011 to 2019, downplayed concerns by public health officials about today’s rally in Tulsa.
[That is: one of Trump’s lawyers, who served as Florida’s attorney general from 2011 to 2019. Trump doesn’t have several lawyers who served as Florida’s attorney general from 2011 to 2019. Commas exist for a reason, people.]
“We hope that people are going to stay socially distanced, are going to wear a mask, (use) hand sanitzer and be respectful of each other,” Bondi told the Guardian’s Oliver Laughland on Saturday afternoon.
…
NBC News reported on Friday that both Dr Anthony Fauci, America’s top infectious disease expert, and the White House coronavirus taskforce’s response coordinator, Dr Deborah Birx, had raised concerns about the wisdom of such a large event in the middle of a pandemic that remains undefeated.
And no one paid the slightest attention.
If Trump could force himself to be honest for just a few seconds his closing words at the rally would be “Thank you all for coming tonight, and please, please, be sure to vote by post this year. Get those forms filled out and mailed off as soon as you possibly can, because you’ll be no good to me if you die before the polling stations open for you to vote in person. MAGA!”
They hope…but they will not require. Just like our town…one of our City Council members went ballistic when they suggested passing a regulation requiring face masks in public, saying he believed in personal responsibility”, and it never came up again. Like my husband says, he actually believes in personal irresponsibility.
“… be respectful of each other.”
A crowd of people whose sole common characteristic is having zero respect toward anyone else.
