Translated literary means "There were a lot and now grandma is giving birth"

Proper english interpretation would be "This is loving bullshit and i am sick and tired of this poo poo"

The "reopen everything" freaks were always going to have to confront the idea that people just will not loving go to these businesses no matter how much they shriek, and further federal assistance will be necessary. Whatever big crowds they get on the first day are not going to be sustainable.

Once again the rhetoric paid for by right wing PACs fails to withstand reality

It's going to be turned into a right wing media talking point though. "We opened everything up and if it weren't for those perfidious liberals it would all be fixed. This is their fault, they hate our freedoms." Democrats, being absolute dog poo poo at messaging and not having a propaganda empire behind them, will end up arguing over technical details to 'prove' it's really the fault of this complicated reality thing and get nowhere against it.

I think it'd be difficult to police your neighborhood to detect when people aren't going out "enough" so you can harass them for ruining the economy, but I'm sure chuds will find a way.

That Works: Jul 22, 2006; Every revolution evaporates and leaves behind only the slime of a new bureaucracy

https://www.cnn.com/2020/05/02/us/face-masks-stillwater-oklahoma-trnd/index.html

quote:

(CNN)An emergency proclamation issued Thursday in Stillwater, Oklahoma, requiring the use of face masks in stores and restaurants was amended Friday after threats of violence.

"In the short time beginning on May 1, 2020, that face coverings have been required for entry into stores/restaurants, store employees have been threatened with physical violence and showered with verbal abuse," Stillwater City Manager Norman McNickle said in a statement.

"In addition, there has been one threat of violence using a firearm. This has occurred in three short hours and in the face of clear medical evidence that face coverings helps contain the spread of Covid-19."

Due to the threats of violence the city has decided to amend their emergency order but still want people to wear face masks whenever possible, the statement said.

Cool. Immediately cave to threats. That'll promote stability.

The corona idiots are mad they have to stay home and watch TV. Blows my loving mind. All we have to do to save the world is sit on our rear end, and these idiots can't even get that right.

They're so high on their own sheepdog farts that when a crisis does come and they can't shoot at it, this is what we get.

Xpost to the coronavirus thread:

The Washington Post has a very long story about how Trump has continually downplayed the extent and severity of the COVID outbreak, and how the cadre of sycophants he�s surrounded himself with have also influenced his delusions. The whole thing is staggeringly damning and well worth the read.
