Republican Lawmaker Implies Nurses Mostly Play Cards at Work

Republican Lawmaker Implies Nurses Mostly Play Cards at Work:  During a debate on a bill in Washington state that would require uninterrupted meal and rest breaks for certain healthcare workers, Republican State Sen. Maureen Walsh argued that giving nurses breaks would make it difficult for hospitals to stay open, pointing out that nurses really don’t need breaks anyway, because “they probably just play cards for a considerable amount of the day.”
Wow, seems Republicans must be taking themselves “a little break” from attacking teachers and public service employees, and have now moved on to attacking nurses.  Well, I guess we all need to take a break - that is, except nurses, who are way too busy playing cards. 

That said, I wonder when the last time Sen. Walsh’s daily workload became so overwhelming that she was forced to forgo using to the restroom her entire time at work?  On the other hand, she does kind of remind me of someone who may be a wee bit “backed up.”  Perhaps adding a little more fiber might help?  Maybe she could ask a nurse about that. 
So, it appears that Sen. Walsh has now taken to writing laws based on what she imagines nurses do all day?  My question is, if what Republicans like Sen. Walsh are saying is actually correct, then why is it that polls consistently rate nurses among the most respected of professions and politicians like her at the very bottom?

Trump Takes to Truth Social to Spread ‘Roomer’ About Ron DeSantis

Former president Donald Trump just shared some juicy gossip about Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis on his Truth Social platform.   Trump posted, “Roomer (sic) are (sic) strong in political circles that Ron DeSanctimonious, whose Presidential run is a shambles, and whose poll numbers have absolutely crashed, putting him 3rd and 4th in some states, will be dropping out of the Presidential race in order to run, in Florida, against Rick Scott for Senate.   Now that’s an interesting one, isn’t it?” Gee, Donald Trump spreading “roomers?”  Say it ain’t so!   Now, me thinks perhaps that prestigious Wharton School of Business Trump attended might want to consider adding some basic 3rd-grade spelling classes to its curriculum.   Apparently, Trump is stalled at that level of language development where he is still spelling words phonetically.   Why his poor spelling makes him look like a real “looser.”   Frankly, I’m not sure its a wise choice for Republicans to choose ...

Mike Huckabee Claims COVID-19 Death Risk Small and Sin Risk Lethal

Mike Huckabee Claims COVID-19 Death Risk Small and Sin Risk Lethal:   Former Republican presidential candidate Mike Huckabee has stirred some controversy with medical professionals by claiming that the risk of death from coronavirus is very “minimal,” but “sin is 100% lethal. Oh, really Mike?  Then how about showing me a death certificate which lists “sin” as the primary cause of death.  Of course, the fact is, sin couldn’t be 100% lethal, or a guy like me wouldn’t even be alive to write this.   On the other hand, maybe you’re on to something Mike - and sin really is lethal, and I secretly used a “ghostwriter” to write this joke. https://www.johnnyrobishcomedy.com

Anti-Vax Newsmax Host Says Diseases are Supposed to Kill People

Conservative network Newsmax has been forced to “distance itself” from remarks uttered by host Rob Schmitt this week, who claimed that vaccines go "against nature" because diseases are "supposed to wipe out a certain amount of people,” and that vaccinations “unnaturally interfere with viruses' designs on killing people.” Wow, kinda looks like the “Schmitt” has really hit the fan over at Newsmax.  So, they want to “distance” themselves from Schmitt’s remarks, do they?  Gee, makes you wonder if the morons who run Newsmax know they actually have the option not hire anti-science nitwits like Schmitt as anchors in the first place?  Not to worry though, should Schmitt get fired, I'm sure folks like Kevin McCarthy or Rand Paul would warmly welcome him to become part of their staffs. Of course, the truth is, what Schmitt is really promoting is “Social Darwinism.”  Given that, I assume by the same logic he applies to vaccines, one may conclude that by warning people ...
