Louisiana Congressman-elect Luke Letlow would not wear a mask. He endangered himself and others. Now he’s dead from COVID-19 & his kids don’t have a dad. Maybe his recklessness will be a lesson to people to wear masks & socially distance. Stupidity & obstinance have consequences. @TomJChicago Don't be like Trump!

Dumbass Trumper puts foot in mouth, makes total fool of himself. Trumpers make baboons look smart. Jim Jordan Schooled On History After Invoking Founders To Swipe At COVID-19 Lockdowns Josephine Harvey ·Reporter, HuffPost Tue, December 29, 2020, 9:23 PM CST·4 min read Rep. Jim Jordan (R-Ohio) was offered a history lesson on Twitter after he fretted over stay-at-home orders imposed to limit the spread of the deadly coronavirus ravaging the nation. “What would the Founders say?” the congressman asked on Twitter. Amid spiking COVID-19 cases and hospitalizations, several states have tightened restrictions, ordering businesses to close and asking residents to stay at home. In Jordan’s home state of Ohio, Republican Gov. Mike DeWine has extended a nighttime curfew through Jan. 2 and suggested he might soon close bars and restaurants. Jordan has repeatedly expressed skepticism about the severity of the pandemic. Earlier this month, he mocked the nation’s top infectious disease expert, Dr. Anthony Fauci, for his plea that Americans avoid Christmas travel. December has been the deadliest month of the pandemic yet for the U.S. More than 60,000 deaths have been recorded this month alone. Critics noted that the Founders had in fact followed strict measures to stifle infectious disease outbreaks based on the science of their time. During the American Revolution, George Washington worked to contain a smallpox epidemic by isolating anyone suspected of infection and limiting outside contact with his army. In 1776, when the British withdrew from Boston, Washington mandated that only soldiers that had already been infected be allowed into the city. In 1796, in response to a deadly yellow fever outbreak, Congress passed the first federal quarantine law, which was signed by Washington. It authorized the federal government to help states enforce quarantines as necessary. There’s more history below, courtesy of Jordan’s Twitter critics. Amee Vanderpool @girlsreallyrule George Washington established quarantine guidelines, travel bans and isolated those infected with smallpox during the Revolutionary War-the colonists even passed a law in 1731 that made reporting the illness mandatory. Had they denied it, like you are, none of us would be here. Rep. Jim Jordan @Jim_Jordan 60 million Americans are subject to a stay at home order or curfew. 11 million are right here in Ohio. What would the Founders say? ............ (((Ethan Bearman, 306 and 81 million))) @EthanBearman · Dec 29, 2020 The Founders passed An Act Related to Quarantine during the 3rd Congress in 1796, signed by PRESIDENT GEORGE WASHINGTON. It directed the feds to help states enforce quarantines. The Con Law study of Gibbons v. Ogden 22 US 1 (1824) would've enlightened you further. Rep. Jim Jordan @Jim_Jordan 60 million Americans are subject to a stay at home order or curfew. 11 million are right here in Ohio. What would the Founders say? (((Ethan Bearman, 306 and 81 million))) @EthanBearman Also, Jacobson v. Massachusetts, 197 U.S. 11 (1905) would've also enlightened you to the state police powers, like Gibbons, in prioritizing health during emergencies and that individual liberty is not without limits. Rep. Jim Jordan @Jim_Jordan · Dec 29, 2020 60 million Americans are subject to a stay at home order or curfew. 11 million are right here in Ohio. What would the Founders say? Kurt "Masks Save Lives" Eichenwald @kurteichenwald This is why we shouldn't elect wrestling coaches to be in congress if they have no passed a basic history and civics course first. Boston had a complete lockdown in 1778 after a smallpox outbreak. Many of the founders were there. They abided by it for months. Rep. Jim Jordan @Jim_Jordan · Dec 29, 2020 60 million Americans are subject to a stay at home order or curfew. 11 million are right here in Ohio. What would the Founders say? Mike Drucker @MikeDrucker Probably the same thing since a founder literally dealt with a pandemic 12:50 PM · Dec 29, 2020 Dr. Tara C. Smith @aetiology They would likely approve. Washington used variolation & isolation to protect his soldiers. Quarantine was common due to outbreaks of smallpox, measles, yellow fever, and more. They understood the seriousness of infectious disease & the nascent science behind its control. Rep. Jim Jordan @Jim_Jordan 60 million Americans are subject to a stay at home order or curfew. 11 million are right here in Ohio. What would the Founders say? The Rude Pundit @rudepundit It would have taken you less than a fucking minute to google this shit and discovered that George Washington ordered quarantines during the small pox epidemic in the 1770s-80s. Rep. Jim Jordan @Jim_Jordan 60 million Americans are subject to a stay at home order or curfew. 11 million are right here in Ohio. What would the Founders say? ' 3:52 PM · Dec 29, 2020 yahoo.com

Prominent QAnon conspiracy theorist says she is beginning to wonder if Trump really is playing ‘5D chess’ after all Namita Singh Wed, December 30, 2020, 2:01 AM CST File Image: A man wearing a ‘Defund the Media’ QAnon shirt is seen at a “Stop the Steal” rally against the results of the U.S. Presidential election outside the Georgia State Capitol on November 18, 2020 in Atlanta, Georgia (Getty Images)MoreThe prominent QAnon conspiracy theorist and Trump supporter DeAnna Lorraine appeared on Tuesday to be having a crisis of confidence in the president, as she suggested he might not have a grand plan to retain power after all. “Because we have so much trusted this plan, we always think he is playing 5D chess. So anything that looks questionable, we think ok, it’s a strategy. He is playing 5D chess. We don’t have anything to worry about,” Ms Lorraine could be seen saying in the video posted by Right Wing Watch. Proponents of the QAnon theory believe the world is run by a cabal of Satan-worshipping paedophiles who are plotting against President Trump. Followers believe that this includes Democrats such as Joe Biden, Hillary Clinton and Barack Obama as well as Hollywood celebrities including Tom Hanks and Oprah Winfrey. [ Wait'll they find out Trump is a Satan worshipping pedophile! ] QAnon theorists believe that the elite Democrats have long controlled the “deep state” and that they seek to undermine Mr Trump with support from media outlets, while the Republican leader was recruited by top military generals to run in the 2016 presidential elections and bring the nation to justice. As such, the defeat of Mr Trump in 2020 has led to a crisis among those who believed in the QAnon theory which propagated the view that everything he did was a part of a broader plan. In the new video, Ms Lorraine asks: “Is it possible that [QAnon] is a detriment to us? That it has been a detriment to us and possibly QAnon and this whole operation has possibly neutered the most powerful, the otherwise most powerful demographic in the world.” “We have got about 25 days guys,” she continued, while referring to the day when President-elect Joe Biden is scheduled to take over the Oval Office. “And we will know, which maybe its a good thing but we are gonna know for sure if Trump is really the 5D master chess player who is gonna totally dissipate the swamp and rest all these deep state operatives and everything we have seen up till now was this massive, you know, brilliant chess moves and its all gonna come into place. "Maybe things failed. Maybe QAnon operation wasn’t real. Maybe some things were not really the truth, right? But we are gonna know in about 25 days and that’s the beauty of all of this. As much as I hate it that it's coming down to the wire. The one good thing about it is we are gonna know the f***g truth one way or the other. Aren’t we? We are gonna know," she concluded. Ms Lorraine earlier in December had criticised President Trump for promoting a coronavirus vaccine. “You know, Trump, probably 80 per cent of your base does not want that vaccine,” she had said adding that she won’t get the jab even “if Jesus takes it”**. news.yahoo.com
