Ugh. Seamy Vermin.
Nice import, that one.
Maybe he figures kicking the poor harder will make him some of his old friends back.

Yeah, a photo of a soulless human being for sure, at least I think sheâs human. Created havoc in Indianaâs Medicare program and helped people die early with her policies, then someone on Trumps team decided âwe need that, bring her to Washingtonâ. May the fleas of a thousand camels infest her body.

This is Tennessee folks. These backward assed racists voted for this. They voted for fascism, they voted for a caste system. They voted to keep black people poor at all costs.
Let them choke on it.
Oh, and if youâre a progressive, or are black, or a woman, and you still live in Tennessee? I feel pity for you no longer. The state of Tennessee and the rest of its troglodyte electorate has all but told you that you are not even second class citizens. If you stay now what ever happens to you, well, sorry.

Let us hope that the Republican party becomes so fractured and impotent from Trumpâs reign of error/terror that such reckless disregard for the nationâs citizenry can never be regained. The NeverTrumpers can duke it out with his sycophants, hopefully splitting into two parties, the second of which will never again go to the polls with Hair FĂźhrer not there to tell them what to do. The bastard needs a wooden stake on fire driven through what passes for his heartâpreferably yesterday.

Tennesseeâs nickname is 'the Volunteer State." I guess Trump just volunteered them all to lack of healthcare and early death.

The only thing they âvolunteerâ for in Tennessee is to be stupid. And the line is long.

One thing that has consistently surprised me about the weak Democrats. Theyâve never made an across-the-board effort to apply the label âPro-Deathâ to the Republicans.
The Republicans have long used the lie that they are âPro-lifeâ. This of course was strictly limited to the unborn. After they are born, Republicans donât give a damn if they starve to death or donât have health care. Republicans also love wars that kill lots of people, love police that kill lots of people, and are very in favor of the state executing people (but never rich Republicans) for crimes.
During this pandemic, every single action the Republicans have taken as been to the end of killing as many people as possible. Call it a hoax. Promote quack medicines. Call it a Democrat plot. Organize and publicize heavily against basic protection methods like wearing a mask. Oppose any lock-downs that might limit the number of deaths. Follow deadly âherd immunity policiesâ.
The Republicans have firmly established themselves as the Pro-Death party.
This is nothing new, of course. Right-wingers have long favored the deaths of the old and the sick. The Nazi government in Germany took this to its eugenic, deadly extreme, but it is nothing new on the right. The phrase âuseless eatersâ is likely to appear among Pro-Death circles.
This is just yet another attempt by Pro-Death Republicans to kill as many people (who arenât rich Republicans) as possible.

BTW, Trumpâs life in New York City, enabled him to develop the art of dealing with prostitutes.

Hi BigB:
Hmmm, well Tennessee was the last state to secede from the UNIONâbut on the other hand, they were the first state readmitted to the Union. That shows a learned lesson
ON THE REALLY POSITIVE SIDE , in 1962 the Supreme Court ruled that federal courts can challenge legislative appointment. And besides they have the Tennessee Waking Horse. : ) ( and no I am not from Tennessee nor have I ever been there. : )

If one examines Trumps life, its pretty clear what he has failed at literally everything he has ever done. He realized a long time ago that he was an imbecile. But being a malignant narcissist he couldnât allow for anyone in his orbit to be smarter than him (it went so far as his father, who always felt Donny was the âdumbâ child, to spend his precious money on hiring a high priced babysitter for Donny, Roy Cohn. But Roy died too soon)
Surrounded by people clearly dumber than him, Donny has run every business heâs ever owned into the ground. Since daddy, and Roy Cohn died, poor dumb Donny has had to live grift to grift. And now we see the results of his administration being filled with sycophants every bit as dumb as Trump, but also every bit as ambitious. He still hasnât realized that his hired help this last four years was grifting him
The USA is currently collapsing in a downward spiral of dumbness. Just look at Tennessee. Did we not all know it would end this way?

I have unfortunately been to Tennessee many times. Itâs as though they stopped making calendars in 1952.
Tennesseeâs people are dumb. But they are a special kind of dumb. They are a mean dumb.

East Tennessee came very close to revolting and doing the same thing that West Virginia did to leave Virginia. Those mountains and valleys were never slave country, which really only worked on huge plantations. Central Tennessee and west Tennessee were slave country. At one point, Lee had to send a significant part of his army to East Tennessee to keep in in the Confederacy.
Me, I was on my motorcycle at age 17 getting the heck out of there. Iâve never looked back. Sometimes I miss the pretty countryside, but Iâd never dream of moving back there again.
And, BTW, youâll never admire the Tennessee Walking Horse once you see the cruelty that is required to get them to walk in that unnatural fashion.

My sister-in -law is a progressive, from Tennessee and she left there. But many people that still live there are too poor to leave.

Since Ronald Reagan, there has been a sustained and continued attack on both schools and teachers. Is it any surprise that decades later we are a noticeably dumber nation?
