I Don’t Think Quarantine Means What He Thinks It Means
I understand that Tom Cotton is from Arkansas and well, you know, they have different habits and mores than other people do. I get that, and most of the time I can excuse him when he says something just whacky.
He was on Fox News insisting that this little Covid in high places the Republicans all gave each other is gonna be over by the time they vote for a new Supreme Court later this month.
But, he carefully explains, if it’s not …
“But if that’s not the case, Maria, there is a long and venerable tradition of ill or medically infirmed senators being wheeled in to cast critical votes on the Senate floor.”
Wheeled in? I can see where that would work for a broken leg or even someone after surgery. But, I have no idea how an intubated person would vote. Or, someone who is contagious with something awful.
If I was a Republican and thank you, Sweet Jesus, I’m not, but if I were I’d be a little hesitant to screw with Ruth Bader Ginsberg again. Apparently, she’s got some turbo charged bitch dust.
Thanks to SGray for the heads up.
Don’t they need to have a quarum tp vpte on anything? If they are insistant on bringing known carriers of a potentially fatal desease into the senate, I think it’s okay for all the dems to vacate until sanatation is complete.
1No safety, no vote!
2Senators can vote in committee by zoom, etc. but in the full chamber votes, must be there in person. I don’t know how he thinks they can have a safe vote. Also, what if enough GOP Senators have the virus and are hospitalized. And what if Barrett gets sick. I know she says she’s had it, but I have read that some have come down with the virus again.
3Require that the Senator’s fill out morgue toe tags before any hearings are conducted.
4RBG has a special relationship with Karma.
5That intubation thing sounds like fun. Where can I get tickets for that?
6Karma knows where they live and watches and waits until the time is right, then, Wham! Seems to me the time is about right for Miss Lindsay.
I wonder if the orange one took his makeup with him. What do you think he’d look like with a proper haircut and no make up?
7For some reason it brings to mind people boxed up like Capt. Pike from “The Menagerie”. 2 lights, yes or no…
8It took one look at the photo of Thom Tillis on that bench with Judge Bennett’s young son to know that she’s not responsible enough to sit on SCOTUS. ALL of her kids were exposed by that stunt! It was horrifying.
9Disney almost captured Republicons with the movie White Wilderness. While most know lemmings are not furry little suicidal creatures rushing over a cliff, here’s Tommy Traitor auditioning for the role of lead lemming rushing into a toxic stew of st00pid and Trump Virus.
10Question: If Mike Lee contracted Covid from Coney Island Barrett (announced positive last friday) and the confirmation train wreck is still barreling into the station at full speed. Has anybody asked the Supremes how this sits with them?
11Actually, Old Quaker, during that talking thing he did from the hospital he didn’t have his orange makeup on, and it was definitely an improvement in terms of looking (similar to a) human.
12Tom Cotton is the Senate equivalent to Louie Gohmert in the House.
13Kelly McEnany just announced she tested pos! Tots and pears! Come one, Ms. Ruth…
14AK Lynne, while I wouldn’t say human, I agree it makes him appear less of a mutant slime mold.
15Absolutely the bipedal version of dumber than beat dip!!!
16We know the senate repugnanticans make up rules as they go, so they’ll try to to sicken anyone to get their beloved supreme voted in before they lose their majority.
17I think Charles has a good point. Perhaps doctor’s notes to justify absence would work for any democrat or repugnantican with a brain (eliminates a lot of them starting with the cotton mouth snake from arkinsaw). Being in a category of elderly or with underlying conditions should be justification. It would be like asking them to vote in the senate chamber when there’s a bomb threat. Then existing supremes would have to rule.
I also believe there will be more sickened in the next 2 weeks.
Can’t wait for this insanity to end!
What if a foreign adversary wheeled highly contagious patients into the Senate chambers during a vote, with all Senators present? We’d declare war on the perpetrators.
If Tom Cotton suggests it, and remember, there are a lot of people over 60 years old in that room, it sounds like an inside job.
18Oh no. Kaleigh McEnany has tested positive. How many has she spewed more than lies to? I guess Giuliani is taking over. He’s next.
19Rick Wilson: ‘I like presidents who weren’t infected’
20Hey people, do you think brain death will change the way Republicans think?
21If any Republican needs intubation to get to the Senate floor, I’ll be happy to insert the Foley catheter. I’ve never done it and have no medical training, but how hard can it be? You just shove it in, right? Who wants to hold him down?
22I wish there could be a “like” button.
