Oh, I get it all those politicians who hated and wanted Trump out of office. They and their supporters turned this into a “right wing” thing.

When I read what’s happening in Michigan, all the stupidity, and hypocrisy of Gov Whitmer I begin to understand the viral problems of those who think like her.

Somehow they are failing to see or even consider these repeated attempts of lockdowns, mask mandates and such are actually contributed to the ongoing COVID crisis and not fixing a thing. Why is it these people are so blinded by their single mindedness and ignore the old axiom, “… repeating the same behavior and expecting different results.”

Of course to follow the lead of successful leaders who are of a different color would be a horrible thing.

Thank you Bill Mahr, sadly Governors and the President are such enormous failures and won’t listen.
while I totally agree with you on this. The comment you reference was my lack of reading into the comical comment from the previous poster.. Yes it is good to see those on either side of an issue break ranks with the sheep of their party and use their brain instead of just mindless following. Early last year he was in hot water with the cancel culture crowd on the left. That’s 2 strikes against him, one more and he might be off the island!!

I understand it's a bit of sarcasm, I'm just adding to the comment for those who seem to miss what is going on. I always find Mahr interesting, sometimes I'm cautiously with him and other times strongly opposed and offended. I guess it's what keeps him employed.

Sorry, don’t know what to tell you....
That doesn’t change the fact that CA was flat most of the year compared to those others. Who knows why they spiked higher in the fall, but at the end of the day the others spiked too. Maybe there was more going on in the dead of winter in LA who knows. Virus is gona virus??

Knob, does life only revolve around COVID for you? Do you genuinely not even think about other things?

Okay, cool. CA was doing very well for a long time regarding COVID. Meanwhile, the state was handing out billions in unemployment, tens of thousands were closing businesses, hundreds of thousands were out of work, millions were unable to get a proper education, thousands of homeless were filling the streets...like do we need to go on?

But then, that doesn’t even matter because after destroying the economy and lives of hundreds of thousands, CA ended up having the worst COVID outbreak in the world (maybe India will top it). Why are you so stuck on defending the absurd response CA had to covid? The data is right there for you; the masks don’t work yet they are enforced without question. Even outdoors!! They admitted the rules on dining weren’t about safety at all yet they are STILL being practiced by many businesses. The CDC said you don’t have to wipe stuff down so much and everyone in CA is still cleaning literally everything..

CA leadership came out with more stupidity and nonsense than intelligence. The CA population is full of people who still wear gloves and masks while driving alone in their car. CA failed on so many levels. I can’t comprehend how anyone still thinks they did a good job.

CA looks flat the ret of the year because of the DAMN CA Spike that changes the graph scale. let that super high spike go off the chart, and CA is as flat as the rockies

Yet in your panicky/alarmist rants you were blaming the spike in cases in CA on people being outside.

Again, don't know what to tell you....

As posted, Alt Right/Neo Nazi/MAGA loving Bill Maher seemed to think differently.

Actually it’s the others that look like the Rockies, look at the graph up above. CA joined one peak with them in the fall.
