Will be VERY interesting to watch. Will Repubes vote for or against their own self-interest?

Rand Paul’s Coronavirus Fix: ‘We Just Need More Optimism’
DOCTOR’S ORDERS
“We shouldn’t presume that a group of experts somehow knows what’s best for everyone,” Paul told health experts during a tense exchange on Capitol Hill.

So who's gonna know what's best, you putz? Some random idiot? Maybe your neighbor? Yeah, that's it! Your neighbor definitely knew what was best for your sorry ass!

Sheesh, this guy's about as sensible as our Insane clown. Jesus will fix it!

He prefers to presume they don't. The logic is obvious.

"When Mike Judge’s movie “Idiocracy” came out in 2006, almost no one saw it. (The film grossed less than $500,000 at the box office.) Now everyone should see it.

Luke Wilson plays an average Joe who is put into suspended animation and reawakens 500 years later to find himself the smartest person in America because everyone else has gotten so dumb. The No. 1 TV show features contestants being hit in their private parts; crops are watered with a sports energy drink, causing a famine; and the president is a former wrestler and porn star who curses freely and fires automatic weapons on TV.

Is there a better prophecy of our end times? The only thing “Idiocracy” really got wrong was its timeline. It has taken just 15 years, not 500, for America to become an idiocracy. Don’t believe it? Look at our response to the coronavirus pandemic.


In other wealthy democracies, coronavirus cases have been plummeting. In the United States, they have risen 80 percent over the past 14 days. On Monday, the United States reported more than 40,000 new cases, while the European Union, which is more populous, had fewer than 6,000. The number of confirmed coronavirus deaths in the United States is approaching 130,000, more than twice as many as in any other country.



It is easy, and correct, to blame this epic failure on abysmal leadership. We have an irrational, incompetent president who spent months denying the reality of the disease (remember when he claimed it would “miraculously” go away by April?), while suggesting cures including a risky malaria drug and bleach injections.

Now President Trump is holding rallies in places such as Tulsa, where the disease is surging; campaign aides even removed signs from the arena urging rallygoers to practice social distancing. Trump is planning a Republican convention in a state, Florida, that has become a new hot spot of the disease. How idiotic can you get?" WP

Cheney takes on Donny
The move could position Liz Cheney to rise higher in leadership in a post-Donny GOP.

In her latest rebuke of Trump, Cheney openly questioned whether the president was aware of reports that the Russians offered Afghan militants bounties to kill U.S. troops and demanded the administration take a more aggressive posture toward the Kremlin.

And a few days before, Cheney took a veiled shot at Trump by tweeting out a photo of her dad wearing a mask with the caption: “Dick Cheney says WEAR A MASK. #realmenwearmasks” — the same phrase that Speaker Nancy Pelosi has been using to take digs at Trump, and one that touches on a sensitive subject for the president: his manhood.

Henry Louis Gates, Jr. is 1000 times a man than that peckerwood, Jefferson Beauregard Sessions. Dr. Gates is a national treasure.
