The rest of the thread is also worth reading IMO.

Although, I'm not sure why this tweet is here in the cartoon thread...

For a gentleman like that, they 100% would be, since people with generally poor health or pre-existing conditions (such as obesity) would be in the higher risk-group.

That's not an attempt to excuse other bad decisions, but said bad decisions don't make the claim presented in you picture false.

Sounds like the right finally found a Democrat who acts as bad as Republicans so they can get in on the memeing too.

The amazing thing is that this pales in comparison to republican nutbaggery. I mean, Matt Gaetz right? Just for starters. Regardless, it's not going well for Cuomo, nor should it. Something tells me he's not going to get a free pass like those people waiving guns did.

Calling out those Democrats who are scumbags seems to at least enjoy some bipartisan support, unlike calling out Republicans.

It is so unfortunate so many people have taken up the Gadsden Flag and ruined it. However, there are a bunch of fun ones. I am partial to this one:

Just talking about the tea party group, white supremists, etc taking it up and trying to make it theirs.

I thought it was something like that, but I also considered you didn't like the parodies except for some like the example you gave.

The parodies are awesome. I think they are a great way to poke fun at the terrible groups trying to make the flag theirs.

I wonder if there was a push back against seat belts back in the day.

 

[NotThePrez]

I wonder if there was a push back against seat belts back in the day.

There was, actually. Most of it seemed to pick up in the 1980s when seatbelts became mandatory for new cars sold in the U.S., with similar arguments being made by the anti-mask crowd. Some manufacturers also argued against seatbelt regulation because they felt it would compromise airbag development.

At least car crashes aren't contagious.

I wonder whether there was a pushback against wearing condoms during the AIDS epidemic.

Perhaps I felt like slipping it in. (j/k no pun intended).
