A Bananas Republic, One More Time 0

Elvia Dias is concerned. A snippet:

(Secretary of State Mike–ed.) Pompeo on Tuesday predicted “there will be a smooth transition to a second Trump administration.”

That kind of defiance is nothing short of an overthrow of the will of the American people and is simply disgusting for Republicans to go along with it.

And, in related news, Georgia’s on my mind.

Maskless Marauders 0

At the Hartford Courant, Bonny Horwitz tries to wrap her mind around the maskless. A snippet:

Despite daily media coverage of the disease and its unsuspecting victims, some people will not wear a mask. This boggles my mind. People are dying every single day, and those who can help prevent the spread of this perplexing virus choose not to?

Aside:

Someone I know has recently recovered from a two-week struggle with COVID-19. He says the doctors called it a “mild” case. He made it clear that it didn’t feel all that mild while he had it. He said that the measure of “mild” must be not having to be put on a respirator.

Afterthought:

I guess that, for the Maskless Marauders, freedom means never having to give a damn.
