2. and you know how many older people are still willing to vote KGOP after this?! Sheep

[Aquaria]

3. Chthulu isn't looking so bad these days.

May I be eaten first, indeed. To get away from idiots like these.

Oh well. I think I'll do everything I can to stay alive and be there to vote after these dimwits kill themselves off. If enough of these traitors can wipe themselves out while not infecting those of us who aren't morons, Texas could indeed go blue this year.

Hope springs eternal!

4. Another reminder that the GOPee is pro-fetus, not pro-life.

8. If Republicans would not use this crisis to stuff more money into already engorged interests

like themselves, we can weather this. The economy can rebound as it did after the 1918 flu pandemic. But the people killed by their neglect can’t come back. PS kids need their grandparents.

This, economy or lives, does not have to be the choice. Both can be saved.

9. Sleazy liar says WHAT??

Sleazy liar Dan Patrick once said about fetuses:

"...what choice does the baby have? Who speaks for the baby? Do you think if the mother had a conversation with the baby and said, ‘you know, this just isn’t really convenient to give birth to you right now, do you mind dying?’”

Sleazy liar Dan Patrick's hate speech of today, paraphrased, to those of grandparent age:

"You know, this just isn't very convenient to render medical aid to you right now, do you mind dying?"

"PRO-LIFE" MY ASS

10. I don't have enough vomit in me to do this justice. n/t

12. So he wants to kill the only people that vote for him?

This is getting dark.

[highplainsdem]

13. Ask the $-obsessed idiot to factor in medical bills run up, hospitals overrun & then funeral costs,

if he thinks those grandparents' deaths won't come at an economic cost.

Not to mention the loss to the economy if those grandparents have been working, as many of them have.

And ask him to factor in all the medical costs that will be run up by younger people who'll need hospitalization.

These idiots seem to believe that if everyone goes back to work and socializes as usual, the only cost will be a certain fraction of seniors dying quietly and without any expense to anyone, while the economy thrives.

14. Not the Trumpers

Those people voted against saving the planet and saving their grandchildren...why does he think that Texans who vote Republican, would be willing to die to save the economy for their grandchildren?

[dchill]

18. Right. It's not logically plausible.

[LSFL]

15. Why should I die for the economy

When my grandchildren won't benefit from this type of economy anyway?
I think I will just power through and teach them how to hunt and fish.. With special emphasis on shooting skills.. Mammals are generally more nutritious the fish.
Some Mammals the world would be better off without.

[Sunsky]

16. Wtf? I cannot believe what I am hearing.

These people are so heartless. Damn liar acting like he would give up his life.

[Skittles]

17. so says the "pro-life" piece of utter SHIT

fuck these sanctimonious HYPOCRITES

I can guarantee you this means ONLY NON-RICH OLD FOLK

[Fresh_Start]

20. let the GOP grandparents and GOP greatGrandparents go first

including the GOP senators,congressmen and state officials.

[iluvtennis]

21. + agree. nt
