No. No. No. NoNoNoNoNo….
Okay, so you know how Dr. Louie diagnosed Rep. Louie’s Coronavirus?
Rep. Louie Gohmert (R-TX) mused on Wednesday that he could have become infected with COVID-19 by wearing a face mask.
“It’s really ironic because a lot of people have made a really big deal out of my not wearing a mask a whole lot, but in the last week or two, I have worn a mask more than I have in the whole last four months,” Gohmert explained.
“I can’t help but wonder if by keeping a mask on and keeping it in place, if I might have put some germs, some of the virus on the mask and breathed it in,” he speculated. “I don’t know but I got it.”
So nobody told him he needed a clean mask and that getting one out of the bathroom trash can to save a few bucks is just not right?
Louie just cannot be wrong or ever make a mistake. Sound familiar?
And here’s where I put in a plug for last night’s FrontLine on PBS. It’s on conspiracy theories, and I learned some stuff I didn’t know. You can stream it for free. It’s an hour. My kid is handsome.
If this proves fatal for Louie, will he lie in state at the local sewage treatment facility?
1Louie Louie! I know you won’t believe a word of this but its coming at you any way! The virus got to you when you weren’t wering the mask, It takes a while to show itself. It decided to do that when you wore a mask for a bit. See, that’s how this damn joker works. Now like everyone who has been in your spot and wondeirnghow they got it, you know how.
2Lou ———–ieeeeeeeeeeee just knew he should have had those brakes checked last week.
Ms. Juanita Jean Herownself, “So nobody told him he needed a clean mask and that getting one out of the bathroom trash can to save a few bucks is just not right?” That would be an upgrade for Louie. Luckily for him COVID-19 was all he contracted from those discards he collects from an alley off K Street to use as masks.
3Maybe he shouldn’t gotten his mask-wearing instruction from Ron DeSantis.
4Just watched Frontline. Your kid IS handsome, but he’s also very articulate and convincing.
Everyone needs to watch the whole program–it makes clear not just what a lunatic Alex Jones is, but how close Jones is to the lunatic who occupies the Oval Office–and has the nuclear codes.
5Jane and PKM: You’re a genius!
6Actually Sam, I was wondering if he would be wearing a mask in the coffin. After all, he said he would if he caught the virus.
BTW, I am not laughing, smiling, smirking or grinning. Really I’m not. Really.
7Louie went around, sans mask, talking to Republicans at the hearing, then trapped Barr after the hearing. Oh joy! Will we soon be hearing that those Rethug men are also positive for COVID-19? It would be so gratifying to see them reaping the consequences of their disinformation campaign as others have.
8Gohmerta: the Mafia code of stupidity!
9What is the connection between JJ’s family and Alex Jones? (I got here late…)
10Louie said “I don’t know but I got it.”
That is exactly the point. Quite often people who test positive have no idea where they picked up the virus. Many people, like Louie are asymptomatic. So when they go around struttin’ their stuff that they don’t need no stinkin’ unconstitutional mask, they spread the virus everywhere, and that, Louie, is how you don’t know where you got it.
Most likely the person who left a virus infused trail for Louie to stumble into, was following the very advice Gohmert espoused over the last few months.
11Oh, JJ! Forced myself to watch the Frontline with your son about that rabid conspiracy theorist Alex Jones. My fingers itched to turn it off, but I watched! Your son did a good job and he was quite good. Made it possible for me to stand the frequent clips of Jones, Stone, and whistlebutt up in the White House!
12JJ’s son is the Attorney suing Alex Jones.
13He’s handsome. Mom says so.
Wall of Mom.
He caught Syphilis from a tainted condom. True story.

My wife and I watched the Frontline video about Alex Jones and it explains a lot of the craziness of the Trumpf administration. It’s worth the time to watch it, but be prepared to be disturbed. These crazies won’t disappear when Trumpf is out of office.
16Congratulations to Mark Bankston for holding Alex Jones accountable.
Thank you, Ormond @13. That just leaves me with Bubba to figure out.
17Watched Frontline. You are the wonderful mom of a talented and articulate son. Thank him for me. Wrestling with pigs is tough and dirty work and he did it elegantly.
18Thanks for posting the Frontline link. When I’m president, I’m appointing Mark as Attorney General.
19I understand that Gohmert will be doing hydroxycholoquine jello shots, so he’ll be fine. I think I have a UV lamp somewhere in the attic, if he wants to try that route.
No, I don’t need it back.
20Louie used to be a judge. I understand that the legal profession decided to retire the phrase “Sober as a judge” in his honor.
Is it wrong of me to hope that karma gives Louie what he so richly deserves?
21JJ thanks for the conspiracy theory PBS link! (only watched the first part for now)
22It’s painfully obvious that the lies, support, promotion and encouragement of right wing HATE spewed daily on Fox ‘hate’ News, Rush Limbaugh, Anne Coulter, Religious Right and Republican politicians, etc. contributed greatly to the popularity of Alex Jones, and vise versa. They ALL peddle conspiracy theories.
Don’t forget Rush Limbaugh. Today he’s saying the peaceful protesters in Portland are all PAID actors- the Black Lives Matter and wall of moms absolutely peaceful protesters. The paid “actors” are Barrf’s army.
23Hasn’t somebody with coronavirus been maskless around Rush yet?
