Well now I know why they're called RED states, they're fucking commies! Someone tell Tomi Lahren about these free money giving socialist bastards.

Show Me State- more like misnomer state

A study conducted at the request of Parson's office in early November found that mask requirements helped reduce COVID infections during a spike following the spread of the delta variant, according to the report. The study compared infection and death rates in St. Louis and St. Louis County and Kansas City and Jackson County with the rest of the state. The state's health director, Donald Kauerauf, wrote to Parson's office that the analysis showed that mask mandates were effective, according to emails obtained by the Independent and the Documenting Covid-19 project.

"I think we can say with great confidence reviewing the public health literature and then looking at the results in your study that communities where masks were required had a lower positivity rate per 100,000 and experienced lower death rates," Kauerauf wrote.

But the analysis was never made public and was not even shared during cabinet meetings with top state officials, according to the emails.

OK, so we take the state assuming control of private businesses thing from socialism, but use it to force companies to act as message distributors for right-wing nationalist politicians. A "nationalist socialism" if you will. We can workshop the name later. pic.twitter.com/QYEk1ezVqf

Mighty Galtian ubermench Rand Paul wants to remain latched to the public teat for another six years. That term limits pledge he signed? Pay no neverminds to that. "That only means two new, full terms commencing after the pledge signing date" in 3 . . . 2 . . . 1 . . .

Since I couldn't immediately find our comprehensive censorship and book banning thread, this one will have to do.

Maus is of course brilliant. But even if it wasn't, this would be an overtly whatever they are calling themselves these days move.

There's only one kind of people who would vote to ban Maus, whatever they are calling themselves these days. https://t.co/fs1Jl62Qd8

That's the unintended positive consequence of book bannings.

Maus is of course backordered but I'm on the list. Meanwhile, the Twitter blowback from the TN decision led me to the knowledge that George Takei has a graphic novel of his own, They Called Us Enemy, about the internment of Japanese citizens in this country so I ordered that too.
