Kimmy finally shows up! 50 minutes late

Now explaining why the numbers are so high - Tyson's meat packing in Louisa County has @ 86 cases - WOW!
Three of them are my BIL and my nephews.

She talks too fast for me to keep up.

Democrats need to find someone strong to run against her in 2022.

If she is she seems to have no feel for Iowans.
I get the impression that someone (Koch representative?) has a big input in what goes on.

...no more of this milquetoast bullshit. We need liberals who aren't the least bit afraid of calling out Refucklicans on their deep fried horseshit.

Gov Reynolds reminds one of a mid-management type who somehow made it off the production floor, not by her own initiative, but by doing what was trendy, popular, and non-upsetting to upper management. She has no clue as to how to really lead, is obviously not thinking her actions up on her own, and clearly is answering to, and trying to please some one other than the people of Iowa. Kimmie hasn't figured out leadership; WHEN IN THE MIDDLE OF CRISIS, DO NOT ACT WITH POPULARITY IN MIND, BUT RATHER WITH RESULTS IN MIND. Inform the people of the WHO, WHAT, WHERE, WHY, WHEN, and HOW. The people may not like your information, and by extension may not like you, but will act according to the BEST, MOST ACCURATE and APPLICABLE INFORMATION AVAILABLE. PERIOD. Sometimes, being a leader means being the one people WILL get mad at, simply because they must get MAD.
