Let Them Eat Horse Dewormer

New from me and @KalleyHuang: Even as some Texas schools hadn’t yet started the school year, the number of positive COVID-19 student cases statewide reported last week surpassed the peak seen any time last year, state data released Friday shows.https://t.co/yMiFBPpfPA

(That's just so we all have the right context for TEXAS Congressman Gohmert's remarks, IN TEXAS!)

I like to provide Canadian followers every now and then with updates from elected officials in the United States. Here is today's entry, from the U.S. Congress. Stay vigilant, please. https://t.co/djjaNCADpn

Yes, this is how Texas appears to the world. I am so proud.

The real *chef's kiss* part of this is that Gohmert praises Trump for the vaccine before saying that people don't actually need it. Instead, they should be free to try other bogus treatments "now that the pandemic is under control"

Hand to God, I have no idea what planet Gohmert is living on. Tyler, Texas, which Gohmert represents, has had 2720 cases between August 14 and August 27, alone. They are averaging 215 new cases a day.

I'm kinda surprised Texas is not among the top five; and relieved.
