1. I feel terrible for the Democrats involved. nt

[dewsgirl]

2. Me too.😔

[Croney]

3. It's not fair. 😕

[smb]

63. Yeah, The Democrats Had To Actually Pick Up And Leave

I'm sure that every single Republican, confident in il Doofus' assurances that it's all a fake news hoax, stayed put.

[spicysista]

4. From the article:

We have seen reports that as many as 70 University of Florida students went to CPAC.

Because of HIPAA concerns, the infected individual has not been identified, so aside from high-profile people he/she remembers meeting, attendees have no way of knowing whether they were exposed.

Wow.

[2naSalit]

43. But it's all the rage for this crowd

to out a whistleblower who did no harm to anyone.

I say out the CPAC superspreader!!

[5X]

5. didn't someone say it was panic day?

[Maraya1969]

6. This just makes me more pissed at conservatives and Trump supporters.

The first to fuck everything up. Always.

[pandr32]

20. So true!

[JHB]

30. The road to hell is paved with bad intentions...

...and they always try to blames something else.

[OhNo-Really]

7. So I guess Covid19 isn't a hoax? Or is the GOP owned by libs?

[jimlup]

8. I think this is a bit of an overreaction

Not that we shouldn't be concerned but emergency evacuation of the chamber seems like too much.

[yardwork]

10. Republicans are cowards. Always.

[jimlup]

11. Yes, it is actually quite amusing...

first they deny, deny, deny.

Then suddenly they go running from the room with their hair on fire.

They are just the coalition of stupid people IMO.

[Nay]

31. But everyone else needs to have a stiff upper lip, or they're snowflakes. nt

[smb]

64. Napoleon Boneyspurs Sets The Example For Them nt

[Chemisse]

46. I agree. I hope they felt a little silly. n/t

[Caliman73]

56. You need insight and a sense of shame for that.

Republicans do not have those qualities. That is what makes it possible for them to repeat that type of behavior over and over again. They decry something they see other people doing, then they do the exact same thing they were complaining about

[wnylib]

65. Is it possible that one or more

representatives tested positive after hearing about the CPAC member, but are keepibg that info from the public? That would explain and justify this evacuation.

[IcyPeas]

9. Matt Gaetz is self quarantining due to possible exposure

[Roland99]

12. he was last seen w/o his gas mask. He lost it up in trump's ass

[mwooldri]

14. Matt Gaetz is definitely an empty child.

No, I am not your mummy.

[RGinNJ]

27. One of the best episodes.

[d_r]

58. Agree

[ancianita]

13. Well now, that's not towing the FOX party line, is it, yet they'll go home to watch FOX tonight.

[calimary]

38. But it must be asked how many Pox Noise staffers went to CPAC

and got exposed?

[ancianita]

55. Yes! How many??

Not enough!

[deurbano]

15. Hopes and prayers.

[pandr32]

22. Bwa-ha-ha!

[Blue_true]

61. That impacts a lot of democratic Florida House members.

Biden and Bernie will be in the state likely starting Wednesday. We don't know how broad the vector is at this point, there could be thousands of democratic operatives that got exposed to someone who was exposed.

[Progressive Jones]

16. I'll bet that CPAC was crawling with viruses and STDs. nt

[Roland99]

17. Not to mention the flu and Covid and gonorrhea and ...

[spudspud]

39. LOL. Well played sir. nt

[Traildogbob]

18. Just went to get a 50 lb bag of dog food.....

A back up second bag for my lab, just in case a 2 month stay home is imposed. The cashier, an obvious repub, laughed at how out of control this is being acted upon, sighed and said we are ridiculous and just trying to create fake reports to turn over GOP government. Told her about Italy, she never heard a word about it. I asked if that was their libtards overreacting. "Fake news". How exposed do you think she is handling money etc all day long? Those are who will kill us all.

[Kaiserguy]

19. You can't fix stupid

and Trump supporters are stupid

[Traildogbob]

23. Right!!!

And stupid is not immune from a pandemic. They should all be locked inside of NASCAR Facilities or Mega Churches and anywhere that has held a trump Jamboree. Let em pray it off and shout in tongues, or wait for the rapture. Completely cut off from civilized people. MAGA.

[Bernardo de La Paz]

25. Locks might be needed. The stupids will break quarantines. . . . nt

[Traildogbob]

26. If ever walls were needed.

I'd be ok with that use of tax dollars.

[Initech]

21. Killing themselves to "own the libs".

They're going to find out real quick that death doesn't favor a political party.

[Traildogbob]

24. They have this passion about owning people.

[Initech]

45. It is truly bizarre isn't it?

They don't vote based on policy. They vote based on who will make the other side cry. And being a huge dick isn't exactly the way to vote for someone.

[Traildogbob]

49. Owned black people.....

Thumped a bible, can't own slaves now (Legally) so own the libs to quich their thirst of power.

[FM123]

28. Until it hits Mar-a-Lago, trumpy doesn't care about the rest of Florida.

[yaesu]

29. I vote we change the name to CPACvirus. nt

[sop]

34. Covfefe-19

[Poiuyt]

41. Moronavirus

[doc03]

32. Damn Republicans are sure in a panic

over a hoax.

[wnylib]

33. Poor Donny. No place to go.

242 cases in NYC area. Now FL.

It's not journalists who are out to get you, Donny boy. It's the virus itself. It's got your number and is following you, hiding out in all your favorite places and properties. Trump Tower, Mar a Lago, CPAC. Maybe someone programned it to seek you out, Donny.

It wants to get you. No place to hide.

Be afraid, Donny boy. Be very afraid.

Probably lurking in Air Force One. And the WH. In the Oval Office. Under the rug. In your desk drawers. On the lips of Andrew Jackson's portrait. (Time to stop kissing him.)

I heard that it thrives on toilet seats, Donny, especially gold ones. Beware. It will bite your a$$.

Germs. Millions of them. Multiplying in all your favorite places. Viruses like moisture. Probably swimming in your make-up jar, just waiting to reach your face.

It's a nightmare, isn't it? So you whistle in the wind, call it a hoax, say the flu is worse. Because you know better and it scares you. Because you know it wants you more than anyone else. Just because you're paranoid, doesn't mean it's not out to get you.

[getagrip_already]

36. there are thousands, if not tens of thousands of cases.....

It's just that they are being called something else because they aren't allowed to be tested.

[wnylib]

42. Yes, I think most of us who are not

Trumpists realize that.

He chose from the start not to approach it from the containment perspective. A lot of ideas exist about why. I just thought, considering his general paranoia and specific germophobia, he deserved to have his paranoia and germophobia ridiculed.

His idea of containment is, like everything else about him, a matter of image projection rather than the real work of containing the spread. Make it look like he has contained it and has it under control, but don"t actually do the things necessary to contain it.

[Dunnjen]

53. Think what you want

It will happen? Apparently one can think and believe positively and still go bankrupt. One can think the new virus is no big deal and still get infected. The universe is not cooperating? Why?

[wnylib]

59. Seems reality has a way of

bursting right through bubbles.

In the past, he has always refused to acknowledge the reality of his failures. Always put a spin in them that sounded like they were great successes.

Hard to do that with sick people dying. No positive spin to it. Just angry people over the obvious failure.

I heard his comments tonight and Pence's remarks afterward. Trump claimed credit for the ideas that Pelosi and Schumer proposed. Pence outright lied about the invulnerability of young people. Said there is something about this virus that doesn't harm them. Made it sound like the only deaths are among people in their 80s. But young doctors in China died. Middle aged people have died. Seniors are the most vulnerable, but not the only ones getting seriously ill.

Also, survivors, regardless of age, end up with lung damage, from mild to serious

But I was not expecting truth or honesty.

[moonseller66]

35. May 2020

The 8 heathy members of the house voted 5 to 3 to impeach for the second time, Donald Trump.
All 3 Senators voted to convict Trump .

Presiding chief justice Stephen Colbert gaveled the verdict and had the crew from NCIS remove Trump from the quarantined White House.

VP Pence resigned to pray for Trump.

President Nancy Pelosi will address the nation tonight!

[getagrip_already]

37. elsewhere, susan collins headstone reads....

"I'm very concerned, but will have to watch this a little longer".

[B Stieg]

40. Winner!

[Hekate]

44. That's a lot of panic over a "hoax"

[saidsimplesimon]

48. Lemmings surround US

"Nothing to fear except fear itself" I read that somewhere in my history class.

[Miigwech]

47. GOP plague? God has a sense of humor.

[not_the_one]

50. What the fuck are democrats doing at CPAC?

Serves them right if they are infected....

[rzemanfl]

52. They have to share the building with Repukes.

NONE of them went to CPAC. Of that I am certain.

[GulfCoast66]

62. WTF! No Democratic Representatives were at CPAC! But the Florida House has many

Democratic Representatives. Their right wing fellow members may have exposed them.

.

[jpak]

51. The Wages of Sin

Yup

[EarthFirst]

54. The government is walling themselves off while telling us to remain calm and not panic...

The optics here are not great.

[BigDemVoter]

57. Maybe they can borrow the gask mask the pissy little shit, Matt Gaetz, used?

Republicans, that is. . .
