1. Yeeeeehaaaaaaa.

[Budi]

2. Means less power to their Republican govenor!

This is a very good start 💙

[sheshe2]

3. True.

However, Baker? He is a Republican, fact, yet better than most. He was a slow start to deal with the pandemic. Frankly he has not done a bad job. He has kept us closed and fought Trump.

He also supports our sanctuary cities.

Credit where credit is due.

4. +1

[sheshe2]

9. Thanks Randy.

[Budi]

6. Fair enough. He sounds like a reasonable man. I recall a few of the Republicans from years ago,

before they were infiltrated & replaced with the Koch funded Tea Party.
There still are a few of them left who do care about their constituents & know that bipartisanship can be positive for either side on the battlefield
Good to know this about Govenor Baker.

Thanks.

7. Nice to hear. Good Republicans are models that can

encourage replacing crooks and rebuilding functioning government with more like them. After all, conservative voters are always going to want conservative representation. They have to somehow break away from the corrupt, wealth-serving choices most have been offered for rubber-stamping.

13. Trump, Jared and/or Fema...

They stole a boatload of the PPE that we ordered. They seized our whole shipment. Baker and admin bought it for those on the front line, that includes my niece in ICU that was wearing a rain slicker and one mask a day.

Not many good ones, yet a few are. Trust me, Baker has done some real shitty stuff. I can't fault him here. Perhaps this may change some of their outlook.

8. Baker enjoys high ratings

For a Republican, he has done a pretty good job, and doesn't align with Trump.

11. I like him...

but I wish he would change parties, just so I'd feel better about it.

[George II]

14. I was going to say something like that. If we have to "settle" for a republican....

....he's about as good as we can get.

Would prefer a Democrat but, to borrow a phrase, he's "republican lite".

[sheshe2]

17. Republican lite.

True, George.

He has been doing press conferences every day. The Mayor has taken on some of that as well.

It is MANDATORY to wear a mask when you can't social distance. Our opening is a slow faze though July and all that may change if we start peaking again. We were one of the states with the most deaths on Monday.

19. OK - I think we need to understand...there are no decent Retrumplicans

and every opportunity...EVERY opportunity, from president to dogcatcher, they must be defeated and replaced.

Every single Retrumplican... EVERY single one...adds power to pricks like Moscow Mitch and Bill Barr.

This is not because Baker might be a bad guy... it's because the Retrumplican Party MUST be punished for what they have unleashed on our country

One powerful tool that our Company Commander had in boot camp was to hold the entire recruit company accountable when someone shit in the punchbowl.

[sheshe2]

21. Have it your way then.

The Governor has also formed a partnership with other blue states NY, NJ, Connecticut, MA and I think NH to secure and stockpile PPE.

I hate the GOP and want them to die a painful death, yet will not trash Baker for what he is doing today.

As for:

One powerful tool that our Company Commander had in boot camp was to hold the entire recruit company accountable when someone shit in the punchbowl.

That is taking it a tad far. I think your company commander was a bit of an asshole.

So to put his thinking in context:

If a white man kills a black man, all white men are accountable.

If a black man kills someone, then all black men are accountable.

If an abusive man kills his wife, all men are accountable.

If a police officer shoots a child with a toy gun in a park within 60 seconds of arriving at the scene, all police officers are accountable..

I could go on.

[maxrandb]

22. Your examples are not even close

The reality is,

"If a white man murders a black man, all white men that excuse and enable the murder are accountable "

"If a police officer kills a 10 year old boy who is holding a toy gun within seconds of arriving at the scene, all police that excuse and enable the shooting are accountable

"If a racist, evil, amoral, disgusting, rediculous, ignorant dipshit is leading your party, ALL members of that party that excuse, enable, remain silent, or do NOT work to remove that leader are accountable

Donnie Shit for Brains is on track to kill more Americans than Hitler did. I guess those members of the Nazi party that kept the trains running on time get a pass.

12. There are like 4 Republicans in the MA senate

LOL, they aren't swaying shit.

[TheCowsCameHome]

16. There may be another flip in the works -

Plymouth and Barnstable district may be in play tonight.

Fingers crossed...

[Budi]

18. Lol. Guess not! Ha. 3 or 4 Keep it that way.

Those should be the allowed #'s for all republicans in govt.

3 or 4 at most.
👍

5. Double K&R
