More than 10,000 people have died of coronavirus in Texas.— Texas Tribune (@TexasTribune) August 17, 2020
Experts say Texas’ official death toll is all but certain to be an undercount given insufficient testing, particularly at the beginning of the pandemic.https://t.co/GHE6tNOXfR
More testing would mean more cases!
The university I attended had an enrollment of about 10,000. Gives me a gauge of how many bodies we're talking about.
Gov. Abbott still blames people who go to bars for...going to bars.
Meanwhile, Dan Patrick is the gift that keeps on giving:
Lt. Gov. Dan Patrick received a letter from Democratic state senators urging the removal of Confederate monuments at the Texas Capitol. Patrick responded by blaming Democrats for past discrimination in the state, leaving out noteworthy historical context. https://t.co/o62HI3Pv9K— Texas Tribune (@TexasTribune) August 17, 2020
Here's hoping he presides over a Democratic Senate in 2021. It'll be Patrick's version of hell.
This, if you're wondering, is his idea of an argument:
“If you are truly sincere about a serious discussion, then you need to openly examine the role Democrats have played in our state’s history on this issue,” Patrick wrote in a letter to the Democrats. “It is time to be transparent. A first step in addressing these issues is for Democrats to acknowledge that it was your party who carried out those past discriminatory policies and injustices and who built those monuments and hung those paintings.”
Which seems to be solid grounds for Democrats removing them. I mean, if we put 'em there, we can' take 'em down, right, Dan?
Idiot.
