(1,654 posts)There are the Sinclair group stations, etc. that are invested in keeping the RW themes going. Implying he's not doing a good job keeping the virus away but have to listen to the mothers with the crying children. Actually most little kids don't mind wearing the masks, especially when it's presented right. It's just another piece of clothing.

(2,749 posts)Regeneron's monoclonal antibody treatment is available at hospitals. It's as if they want as many people as possible to get sick so that they'll see a massive return on their investment. I've read that Ron DeathSentence is. This is the only excuse I can understand as to why they want people to get sick with Covid-19.
Sick, disgusting and depraved. Anything for Big Money!

(15,958 posts)I heard him speak and got to meet him when he was running for the Democratic nomination for Governor, and I knew right then and there that he was the right person for the job. Voted for him in the primary and in the general,
and will gladly do it again. I think he's terrific!

(3,726 posts)Illinois per-capita COVID rates, hospitalizations and positivity rates are lower than most of the red states because of the steps he has taken to protect people.
He's got my vote already.

Frasier Balzov
(2,598 posts)She thinks she's burnishing her phony right-wing credentials by pestering the governor.
It's all due to a sense of insecurity about her job. She makes good money co-hosting the morning drive-time slot with true believer Dan Proft, who basically carries her and puts up with her lack of talent and intelligence.
Poor Amy. Pitiful stooge. She doesn't want to lose such a lucrative gig as an overpaid gadfly.

(33,987 posts)and, while she was being an asshole again, i sympathized with the parents she was talking about--because i would probably be a complete wreck too (sending my kid back to school with this fucking delta shit going on).
HOWEVER, she is an asshole. i thought she got kicked out from his pressers a year or so ago.
btw--another of her tweets says she believes in masks but thinks it should be left up to the parents. i disagree.
i work with kids. kids get covid and spread covid. and there are parents who, when given the choice, do not put a mask on their child--not even after the kid has had covid, parents who don't have the courtesy to mask up around other people's kids, etc etc. and i would bet there are parents who would send their covid positive child to school because they don't want to stay home from work.
"i would bet there are parents who would send their covid positive child to school"
And I would not bet against you, because I know you would win!

(3,151 posts)Show the stats from States that wont and countries that cant get vaccinations or masks around the world.
Show those graphs of rising infections.
Show the breakthrough infection rate.
No, Amy his job isnt to calm them down, its to wake them up and scare them into doing the right thing for all of us. For as long as it takes.

(3,151 posts)Its the entire right leaning population.
Id invite the others to stay if they want to, but school her like the 5yo she wants to portray herself as.
Show the effects of the lies.
The only question she needs to answer is why as a supposed reporter she keeps looking at discredit reports and propaganda from people who cant achieve positive results any other way.

(64,425 posts)I particularly liked how he wouldn't let her complete her objections.
She'll go on the air & whine, but it's public record now that she is unserious & not concerned about Illinoisans as a whole.
A once great radio station now wallowing in their own filth, for a quarter century. Pathetic.
