Iowa Governor Kim Reynolds finally blinked in the Great Republican Game of COVID Chicken. Iowa is now one of 37 states where the governor has mandated mask wearing. Kim dragged her pretty little Trump heels for months before giving in to science. There’s no rational explanation for her or other Republican governors to fight the mask except for their having been hypnotized by Treacherous Treasonous Trump.
South Dakota emergency nurse Jodie Doering reported to the Washington Post, Nov. 16, the horrific denial she has witnessed in some of her COVID patients as they gasp for air.
“Their last dying words are, ‘This can’t be happening. It’s not real,’” Doering said, adding that “some patients prefer to believe that they have pneumonia or diseases other rather than COVID-19, despite seeing their positive test results.” This is the raw feral power of Trump whose repeated lies have led thousands of naive followers to their deaths. Patients were still saying it was a hoax even though they were dying of it. South Dakota Governor Kristi Noem has refused to issue a mask mandate. Perhaps she feels South Dakota is already over-populated.
One South Dakota entrepreneur Borden Schwartz has designed a new line of masks for his Mask-Hating Community. Here’s a sampling:
“My Mother Died of COVID and All I Got Was This Lousy Mask”
“Do It for Jesus (Jesus—Can You Hear Me?)”
“Covid, Covid Covid: Your New Worst Friend”
“Death to Whitmer”
“I’m With the Unmasked Fun One”
“Beer is an Antidote for Covid”
“I’ll Get a Vaccination When You Stop Being a Dick”
“Former Super Spreader (not a Dem)”
“Wanna Shelter at My Place?”
“Death to Cuomo”
“Sex is Better with a Mask (You Don’t Have to Look at Her)”
“I’m Wearing This, but I’m Mad as Hell”
“F**k Old People! Why Should I Care?”
“F**k Herd Immunity”
“I Can’t Wear This for Long—It Ruins my Aim”
And so it has come to pass that because people have refused to mask up in sufficient numbers, nearly four million are now dead, and there are not enough caskets and crematoria to take care of them. They’re being shoveled into ditches faster than prisoners can dig.
As Tucker Carlson says, “We’re over-populated anyway, especially with the black, the brown and the poor. So good riddance, wouldn’t you say? Now we can start with a cleaner slate.”
