Lynching, mobs, etc. This has been that way forever.

Disagree. They don't really think beyond themselves and the "Eh, I'm young, won't hurt me"

The little news I watch, it looks like active warfare between ideologies.

Parents send their C-19 positive kid to school.

Honestly, bad parenting is top 3 in the "Things dragging down the U.S."

Also in top 3 would be "tolerance of people who do things like parenting, poorly." Start enacting harsher, public punishments for the little things, and it'll be a wake-up call.

When Trump blocked travel from China he was called a racist. Later he was criticized by the same people who said he should have done it sooner.

That being said, I hope Chris Rock has enough money to be cancelled for calling it out.

Party of 1000+ near FSU.

I don't see the issue. It's not like there's a global pandemic going on.

Experts are predicting C-19 is going to spread more this winter.

Trump has the virus.

Probably should have worn a mask.

I admit that I laughed when I saw the news this morning. I really don't wish the man harm (ok, I kinda do...), but damn does anyone deserve this virus more? Even if he didn't downplay it constantly the "masks aren't a good look" nonsense is something he and his team decided was the right play during a pandemic.

Plus, there's a guy in me and Stranger's golf league that is WAY right. If you have a crazy conspiracy theory, he buys it. We golfed Wednesday and I got an earful about how this virus wasn't shit and the masks do nothing, yada yada yada. If Trump dies of this it will be interesting to see how people like him shift the facts to match their beliefs. I think the first "Isn't it interesting he came down with this right after being near Biden" conspiracy theory will take about 30 seconds for someone to start pushing.

I just did a google search, and I think I might be the first person in the world with this idea, but someone needs to photoshop Randy Marsh's moustache onto Trump ASAP!

Is that from the pandemic special, or something else?
