too close to the election for that; another shutdown would kill the national economy well into the first quarter of 2021; if Biden wins, they can’t put him on the spot like that...

….

Trump should be hammering the point home that cases are going up due to more testing, but more importantly deaths and hospitalizations are almost flat! Good grief, when he does discuss anything corona, he has a deer in the headlights look on his face! Doubt me? Go back and watch his corona pressers!

Something has happened to Trump!

The fool Abbott.

….

And not a word from Trump! Nope, he saves his arrows for really bad people like Republican Governor Kemp of Georgia for getting his state opened and ready for business!

And I do NOT want to hear about Trump’s brilliant “3-D Chess” bull sh*t!

Just checked. Average daily temp for Dallas in July is 96F.

Abbott needs his fricking head examined.

Wrong move. This virus is not going away anymore than the flu goes away. To me it will be evidence of rank hypocrisy if mask are not mandated during flu outbreaks. After all how do we know who has the flu shot or even if that shot was for the correct strain?

Unless it is of the right material, number of layers, and fit a mask are nothing more than a talisman. A talisman that has to be properly washed and tried after each use. I would not expect that bit to be the norm.

Are Texas Law Enforcement actually going to enforce this idiocy?

That was Bill Barr’s doing.

Trump has been busy taking a victory lap on the jobs report. And based on how people are reacting to mask Nazisim that’s backfiring badly.

‘Good grief, when he does discuss anything corona, he has a deer in the headlights look on his face!’

I think he realizes this virus is a loser for him; there’s no point to expending any political capital on this; he’s going to need every bit of it for this election, which, as it stands now, looks to be a dogfight...

I wonder if at least half the posters on this site will suddenly become fervent mask proponents now...

Maybe those posters could pick out their favorite mask.

He hasn’t been busy enough! Why isn’t he Tweeting about hospitalizations and deaths being almost flat?

Trump is scared sh*tless of discussing anything related to coronavirus! He Tweets his arse off about everything else, but nothing about death rates and hospitalizations being flat! He could be setting the narrative, and forcing the Fake News to address these facts, but he won’t touch it! Truly disappointing!

‘To me it will be evidence of rank hypocrisy if mask are not mandated during flu outbreaks.’

good point; but the ready rejoinder to that would be ‘but we have a vaccine...’

whether it works or not matters not at all...

“I won’t print the rest of what I’m thinking.”

I will.
Whether we do it by recall ballot or force of arms, it is high time that we remove Abbott by whatever means necessary and move Dan Patrick into the Governor’s office at the very least. Abbott has destroyed his chances of surviving a primary election fight in 2022 (Texas doesn’t have term limits for Governor).

Yeah, perhaps Jared and his daughter are advising him on how to handle covid! Many of his advisors suck!
