I was just closing this tab and as it closed what you wrote registered in my head.

Had to come back and congratulate you on that one.

And the students. Hopefully by spring we’ll have a vaccine.

and the hit he took when he modified Daylight Saving Time to save energy so that kids went to school in the dark. A couple of kids were killed and Nixon took a lot of flack. This is no different except that the consequences will be I would guess thousands of times worse. Yes, thousands. This is COVID incubation policy.

Best of all the great ads so far!
And no, none of us are going to pick Dumpy over our children.

Children need to be protected from those who have no love in their hearts; those who would sacrifice the innocents to protect their profits.

fast enough can get more kids with covid 19 and there will be no escape. I would love to put the creeps in the white house in that same situation.

The Trump school reopening debacle will turn this election into complete annihilation for the GOP. It is pissing off so many people. Everyone wants schools to reopen but certainly not like this! You literally now have to vote for Biden to protect your child’s life. Great ad.

This touches on the intense bond between parent and child.

I don’t have to face this choice. My children are all grown up.

If I had to make this choice I would furious at being forced to make such a choice when reopening the schools is clearly not the right thing to do according to CDC guidelines.

The pandemic is now out of control in much of the US. Trump and his lackeys are trying to bullshit their way through a viral pandemic.

We’ve already seen what reopening too quickly brought us. These cretinous criminals want to double down on a strategy that has already failed.
