    Yea it’s bad. REAL bad. There’s mosquitos too. And the sun. It’s not as comfortable as it was in spring. And that cloud of dust from Africa went across Florida and who knows what that might have done.

    Then there’s the local city council of nuts with aspirations of being Stalin and issuing decrees, but just in Democrat left kook cities like this capital city of Florida and left kook counties like Leon

    But on the bright side, there’s not much statue toppling or Antifa zones of stupidity set up in any FL city and the conservative people here have all kinds of really awesome firearms as well as gadgets and traps that can be used if necessary, to restore law and order should the police get disbanded

    And the old folks here, are safe in their nursing homes , unlike all the other Democrat blue states

    And you can swim in the ocean here and go to the beach and drive around and stuff without to many mask nazis threatening to kill you.

    So when the Chinese tourists come over to see Disney World and take COVID-19 back home to the Chinese Disneylands --- what do we call that? Reverse discrimination?

    Disney will do whatever it takes to censor films of anything the Chinese government does not like. China is crucial to Disney future revenues in the real world and not just the reel.

    Oh yeah, you did mention NYT, but with CNN, I was referring to their TV news.

    Where did you get the idea that they're not?

    They are. Difference is California is the only one doing something about it. The attention is on the fact that Florida and Texas (and others, like Arizona) are not.

    DeSantis is not even a leader. He only acts when pressured. But never ever if his acts would displease Trump.

    Yup, it's that simple. But Trumpleton's see a media conspiracy around every corner since the Orange Messiah's jihad against an essential element of a thriving democracy........the press.
    The more truth they reveal about him the more he vilifies them.

    Absolutely spot on. Few things capture Trumpleton's arrogant disregard for the well being of others like that photo.

    "republicans downplayed the risks, so of course they gonna get called on it"

    WASHINGTON — South Dakota Gov. Kristi Noem says the thousands of people who attend the July 3 celebration for Independence Day at Mount Rushmore with President Donald Trump will not be required to practice social distancing despite an increase in coronavirus cases across the country.

    "We will have a large event at July 3rd. We told those folks that have concerns that they can stay home, but those who want to come and join us, we'll be giving out free face masks, if they choose to wear one. But we will not be social distancing," Noem, a Republican, said in an interview Monday night on Fox News' "The Ingraham Angle."
