Michael Ramirez for June 29, 2020

Yes, Mr. Ramirez. Yes, it is.

OMG! t rump has had it this whole time.

I guess that’s why there are more cases in America than anywhere else.

(I bet Mikey is going to get a cult reprimand for this one. Good for him!)

“Health and Human Services”, two things that republicans have never supported.

Conversation between VP Mike Pence and John Dickerson on Face the Nation 6/28/2020

JOHN DICKERSON: Mr. Vice President, some of the states that are having the biggest spites- spikes are the big ones — Texas, California, Arizona. Are you concerned?

VICE PRESIDENT MIKE PENCE: Well, we’re monitoring very closely new cases in Florida, Texas, Arizona, and California. In fact, I’ll be traveling with members of our team to several of those states over the next several days to make sure and get a ground report. But what the American people should know is that because of the leadership that President Trump has provided, because of the extraordinary innovation that we have brought to this task, we are- we’re in a much better place to respond to these outbreaks than we were four months ago.

(Aside: Mike Pence cancelled the campaign trips to Florida and Arizona because of the surge in Covid 19. These were campaign trips and not to get a report on Cov19. Mike Pence is head of the Corona Virus Task Force).

JOHN DICKERSON: Why does the person with the best megaphone say things to undermine confidence in testing? It seems totally at odds with what you’re spending all your day doing. This isn’t a triviality. This is an important, crucial thing about testing.

VICE PRESIDENT PENCE: Well, John, I just- I just disagree that the president’s undermining confidence in testing, he observed—

JOHN DICKERSON: Repeatedly.

VICE PRESIDENT PENCE: -that that the volume of new cases is in part a result of all of- of the rapid scaling of testing that we’ve done around the country.

I’m starting to feel a lot less charitable about this empty bag of wind that is the Vice President of the United States of America.

Say It truly and forcefully, Fauci, if not for the optics you would be out and writing about all this!

Don’t tell me you’re doubting them on their COVFEFE-45 leadership now, Mramirez? Why haven’t you drawn strips previously if you did? If Obama or another Dem president had acted 1/1,000,000th as stupid, you’d be screaming from the rooftops.

Heresy! Ramirez’s follower may put him on trial as a heretic as they know Covid is a hoax!! The 128,000 DEAD are all crisis actors!! /s

This makes no sense. Fauci is the only person who has consistently told the truth throughout this trump mess. He also is the only person who admits to an error when the data (not politics) necessitates a position correction. Il Douche and his ass-ociated minions should try the honesty route.

Denial from the GOP (DEATHCULT) has been “Plan A” the whole time. While Pence admitting it would be new and welcome I don’t see him doing that. If one of you has some source saying “Pence admits he’s been in denial” I will happily apologize for being wrong.

Wait…NOW Ramirez believes the pandemic is real??

New??? Heck, trump and team have been denying it all along.

Mike just keep getting them crazy with your truthful toons.

That is hilarious coming from a right-wing cartoonist.

hope you all vote

Everything we do before a pandemic will seem alarmist. Everything we do after a pandemic will seem inadequate. This is the dilemma we face, but it should not stop us from doing what we can to prepare. We need to reach out to everyone with words that inform, but not inflame. We need to encourage everyone to prepare, but not panic." — Michael O. Leavitt, 2007

I’m starting to confuse Pence with Fauci. Which one is it that prays in church for a cure?

Denial – of all factual truth that doesn’t fit the Trump agenda – is a symptom of COVFEFE-45, which infected the country beginning with the election campaigns of 2015.

Thank you, Michael. I might disagree with many of your works, but there are those that ring true for all of America…thank you.

Thank you, Ramirez, well played, well said.

If people are just now starting to question the intelligence and integrity of Dense Pence, it might be close to END TIME for our country. Dense only became VP to increase his national footprint before the attempt at stealing the White House for himself and his wife.

Only the right wing is denying that they have killed 115,000 Americans and put 35 million out of work with their total mishandling of the covid virus.

The USA has been shut down for virtually all of 2020 due to anti science Republicans.

Ramirez believes this is a NEW symptom?

.

RAMIREZ! YOUR GUY has denied and LIED about the virus since before you even knew what the virus was.

Do not claim this is something new or a surprise in any way.

.

And YOUR GUY continues to sabotage the states’ efforts to respond to the pandemic

and

to suppress information from Fauci.

So Trump and MAGA are permanently infected by COVID19. We knew there had to be a reason for their denial of everything that is a fact.

TAKE NOTE AMERICA! WHEN PRESSED, PENCE QUICKLY GIVES ALL THE CREDIT TO THE PRESIDENT’S LEADERSHIP AND DECISIONS, NOT HIMSELF. Slippery little dude isn’t he?

100 percent of regular ICU beds in Texas Medical Center occupied, but hospitals have space for surge

A little over a quarter of the ICU beds are taken by COVID-19 patents, and hospitals are converting regular rooms to critical care.

HOUSTON — All regular ICU beds in the Texas Medical Center are now being used, according to numbers just released on the TMC website, but officials say they can add more.

Lemme see if I can ‘splain it in short words. The concept is “exponential growth” (sorry, but it is called that). And the thing about that “x growth thingy” is that if you catch it while it’s small, you can keep it from getting away from you, but if you wait until it looks big “now” it’s already too late‍ to do much good. The whole “lower the curve thing” was never a promise that we’d be able to avoid it forever, it was a way to make it possible to develop some better ways to handle things before it got loose again. But we didn’t use it that way, so right now, the US is neck in neck with only a couple of other nations for the race to be the worst in the world (per capita) because the “leaders” didn’t listen to the experts… and of course the Orange Mango led the way on that.

I’m doing what I can to stay healthy anyway, but it’s getting iffier. For instance, I’m in the process of designing a N95-equivalent system I can use when I go for groceries. And the proportion of things I buy local has dropped a lot: Amazon is just safer!
