As predicted the fraud continues and escalates closer to the election!
Scare tactic of the Socialist Marxist Communist Democrat Left to scare people from the polls into their mail in voting scheme!
If it’s safe to go to the grocery store, it’s even safer at the polls due to their strict COVID distance practices.
More from the Larry, Darrell, and Darrell News Network!
(But how exactly did the president, first lady, and all those White House staffers get sick if all this is a fraud created by Democrats?)
One side effect of covid is delusional thoughts. Mask up/man up man.
“Socialist Marxist Communist Democrat Left”
If this is the opposite of Trump, I’m all for it. Your intended slurs are not only far removed from reality–the Democrats are barely even “left” anymore and light years away from Marxism–but no longer frightening anyway. That brainwashing is no longer effective.
And argument by name-calling isn’t argument. It’s childish.
Uh…HUH?
Did you even look at the number, Larry Darrell and Darrell? It’s almost TWO THOUSAND. It’s never been this high. Go back to Fox News. Idiot.
Darrell – Ignorance is bliss and you are firmly planted in nirvana. Go invent some new facts that make you feel better.
Can anyone truly believe these numbers? If you choose to then infections are up deaths not much proportionally. 21 deaths and none in marion County. That many people may have died in car crashes or with bee stings. A rush to the finish for democrats
Your “logic” is faulty. We don’t allow cars to drive at any speed and without any safety regulations. We license and highly regulate their use. Otherwise, fatalities and hospitalizations from car crashes would be much higher.
Similarly, people with deadly allergies don’t ignore them, they carry EpiPens (if they can afford them). Otherwise, fatalities and hospitalizations from bee stings would be much higher.
Unchecked COVID would be catastrophically deadly and overwhelm our health care systems. We’ve avoided that because of the COVID restrictions, but now we’re trending in the wrong direction again.
Yawn
How about hospitalizations and comorbidity of the deaths?
I thought all these masks mandates were going to save us.
Facts matter. Data matters.
Nothing can save us from stupidity.
Mask mandates won’t save anybody if nobody actually follows the mandate. Wear your masks, people!
And wear them correctly! Constantly pulling it down for a “nose break” while you’re shopping for groceries isn’t wearing your mask correctly. You’re defeating the purpose with your nose exposed.
But, but, if everyone just wore a mask….
It is amazing the people pitching the conspiracy theory.
Chris B., Darrell, Jeffery, and Bernard, who is only concerned with hospitalizations and comorbidity. Data and facts do matter, and it has already been proven masks and social distancing have worked in keeping the numbers down.
This virus isn’t political. What more proof do you people need? Open your eyes!! If Trump, First Lady, and 25 members of the WH had worn masks and social distanced they wouldn’t have gotten the virus! You all just don’t get it and never will because you don’t want to, you just want to gripe and complain.
Outrageous. Democratic and Marxist. Huh?
By the way, the redistribution of tax revenue, the plan (fantasy) of trickle down economic benefits, payments to farmers due to bad trade policies, bailout payments to airlines to support operations and staffing . . . . reflect true socialism. Apparently, one need not fear COVID, the president said so.
