Lisa Benson for May 18, 2021

In many cases, Texas is an example of what not to do.

Don’t mind me, just being a responsible + ethical human being…

What took me so long? Maybe I was being an actual responsible person with a functioning brain?

Sorry, don’t mind the rest of us. We were just busy giving a hoot about human lives.

“Texas normal” isn’t something I’m willing to accept.

“Did you bring your guns?”

She must be inhaling the smoke off the fire out there. This is just too nuts.

Texas has other ways of killing their residents. mostly through neglect, lack of regulations, dangerous commercial sites, poor healthcare, corner cutting of services, etc.

Texas’ motto: “Don’t tread on me…until we get hit by a natural disaster for which we refused to plan and need federal a$$i$tance”.

Another Good One, Lisa.Sure got the prog KBWs digging deep for their Texas jealous hate. Such sad lifes they lead with all that power.

Texas seems fair to middling — nothing special — in their handling of Covid-19 cases/deaths.

Answer: Almost 3,000,000 cases in TexasAlmost 50,000 deaths

There are more empty seats at the table than Lisa shows, naturally.

I wonder if Lisa knows anyone who died in Texas… and I don’t mean at the Alamo.

Love these dopey comments from people in Blue States.Fact – More people are moving to Red States because…Lower taxesLower CrimeBetter LifeRed States – Crime SpikingTaxes going upTerrible life

How truly offensive. Benson has outdone herself.

I know she’s expecting it, so I’ll go ahead and ask. Does Texas normal include persons of color?

Looks like a charcoal grill. Smart. You don’t need a power grid for that.

What does Texass have to do with “Normal”???

Yes, Lisa, this coming from the state that didn’t have the fore thought to prepare for a cold snap that might take down their power systems. Texas’ independent nature kept itself off the grid so no power was available in case of an emergency. That same independence might very well cause a major spike in the pandemic that we will all have to suffer for.

Normal? Texas? Texas has never been “normal.”

Have the Texans in this pic been vaccinated? All of them? Let’s check back in a few days and see how they are feeling.

Don’t suppose Lisa could give Joe credit. Long.. is a relative term and by all sane measure turning the COVID thing around happened pretty fast.. Certainly faster than the trump could have accomplished.. and would be even faster if certain fools would get on with the program.

Remember when the Texas GOP ran the Biden bus off the road?

Right wing Texas vote suppressing will never be ‘normal’.

Like nearly every day, I see Lisa is fully under the influence of her moron meds today.

I’ve noticed a number of television ads promoting Texas as a tourist destination. Given its recent history, I’ve classified it as not a nice place to visit – and I certainly wouldn’t want to live there. On the other hand, I probably wouldn’t live there long . . . .

The cost of hubris this past year has been lives. Good people feel bad about the consequences and try to mitigate it. Bad people double down on their hubris despite that cost.

Possibly those that think “masks don’t do anything to prevent viruses” should take the mask off their computer keyboards because somebody has hacked their computer and holding their brain for ransom. . . . . /S

Only 38% of Americans are fully vaccinated. In Texas, it’s less than a third. If you want to be an idiot & pretend it’s over, despite not getting vaccinated, go ahead!

That’s possibly one less vote for Republicans.

Sure! Let’s all follow Texas’ lead! Then we can all freeze when the first cold snap shuts down all the power in our states.

Uh…we’re smarter and much more mature that you

Perhaps Uncle Sam would like to have reduced the almost 51,000 deaths in Texas alone?

Major corporations come out against proposed voting restrictions in Texas

Dozens of big companies, local businesses and chambers of commerce issued a statement reflecting the biggest pushback yet by the business community against Texas Republican efforts to further tighten the state’s restrictive voting rules.

“We stand together, as a nonpartisan coalition, calling on all elected leaders in Texas to support reforms that make democracy more accessible and oppose any changes that would restrict eligible voters’ access to the ballot,” the businesses wrote in their letter. “We urge business and civic leaders to join us as we call upon lawmakers to uphold our ever elusive core democratic principle: equality. By supporting a stronger trustworthy democracy, we will elevate our economy.”

Meanwhile, there are still a lot of us who are hesitant about trusting Texans and won’t be visiting there any time soon…

Lisa, when are you and your children going to Cancun with Ted Cruz and his “ugly wife”?

Oh, my! Do you suppose Texas’ COVID statistics are being accurately reported?

California, which has 11 M more people than Texas, reported 1,311 new COVID cases on May 17; Texas reported 2,375.

Update: On May 18 California reported 1,232 COVID cases; Texas reported 2,679 cases. So from day to day, cases are going down in California, while going up in Texas.

Here we are continuing to just laugh at the moronic linerals.

Sorry, I was being my stupid democratic self. God, I’m stupid. I should have done what you’re saying.

Old Joe: I’m late because I have to wait to be told what to do?

Perfect time to encourage trumpies to avoid the vaccine and not wear a mask. Rely on god and let nature take it’s course!
