But South Dakota’s youth aren’t uniquely self-absorbed. Some 70-something knucklehead in Oacoma tested positive for coronavirus and went around Oacoma and Chamberlain putting his neighbors at risk:
Chamberlain Police Chief Jason Handel tells KELOLAND Investigates that the Brule County State’s Attorney was able to obtain the man’s medical records, which showed he was tested for COVID-19 in Sioux Falls on April 2, with positive results returned on April 5. The man, who is in his 70s, was seen in area businesses on April 5, 6 and 7, prompting those businesses to close to disinfect before re-opening.
Chief Handel said that the emergency manager went to the man’s house in Oacoma and he told them a nurse had cleared him to go out into the community. The typical quarantine period is 14 days [Angela Kennecke, “Central SD Businesses Temporarily Shut Down for Cleaning After Man Positive for COVID-19 Seen in Public,” KELO-TV, 2020.04.08].
Boy, I’ll bet the chances of this fella’s downloading the Governor’s new tracking app on his phone are nil.
Lyman County and the Highway Patrol managed to isolate this guy, but state’s attorney Steve Smith says the state was slow to respond:
Lyman County State’s Attorney Steve Smith says he tried to get a court order directing the South Dakota Department of Health to utilize law enforcement to take the man into custody until the designated quarantine time had passed and he was symptom free.
According to the governor’s office, while not a court order, the Department of Health did issue a public health intervention order to the man, telling him to self-isolate.
Smith: I actually consider this whole case to be a matter where the Department of Health showed no spine in trying to enforce what authority they had. And the governor had no backbone in trying to give these two communities the help they needed to protect themselves [Angela Kennecke, “Dispute over State’s Handling of COVID-19 Case in Central SD,” KELO-TV, 2020.04.09].
The Legislature did pass House Bill 1295 last week, allowing the Department of Health to seek a court order to enforce quarantine of individuals with covid-19. The Department of Health did not avail itself of that power; it tells KELO-TV that the “public health intervention order” it issued was sufficient to isolate the Oacoma man.
Good reporting, Cory. I have a few questions about the Governor’s authority to order a level of closure and state of emergency like Montana Governor Bullock did over a month ago. Did the Legislature specifically deny her that authority on veto day? Or was it just gun shops and casinos could not be closed? Can that be fixed if the uber-majority Republicans were to call a special session? What about Governor Noem?Any reason that’s not happening?
Relatedly, perhaps, what’s going on with the investigation/clusterfight about the Senate Republican leadership alcohol indulgence on veto-day? Is the Executive Board meeting about this? I don’t see anything lately. I’m sure they are all busy self-isolating. And washing their hands.
What a mess. You would think there might be more partisan unity and coordinated action in the midst of the biggest public threat to ever face the people, families and businesses in South Dakota. It seems they are all trusting and praying for President Trump to be the singular genius he claims to be. I wonder what real leadership would look like?
Thanks for the solid information you always work hard to provide. Best, Jane
Partisan unity???? Please explain how “partisan” and “unity” can go together?
Well, Noem’s game of Russian Roulette with your lives is resulting now into South Dakotans running into a hail of bullets from COVID-19. She made the same mistake the Chinese initially made, and Trump also, in downplaying the severity of the disease, and now it’s set up a line of fire that has caught Noem completely flat footed. You would think she was General Westmorland for all of her ineptitude and false hope about the outcome. You think those drivers hauling hogs to Smithfield didn’t interact with some of the workers there, and then transport the virus back to the rural areas? Better think again.
It is likely to get worse..

Quite the leap forward.
A nurse “cleared” him to go out in the community? Someone should have a talk with this health care professional…
Very nice. But, still does not answer my question??? If I said that on here, everyone would be calling me a “mush head”, “retarded”, “uneducated”, “in bread”! You know. That’s what all of you “highly educated” lefties on here like to do. Act like your “academic pedigrees” are so much better than anyone else’s and then you all act like a bunch of 12 year olds and call names. Now, will someone call Jane names? “Partisan Unity” is like calling a fat guy, “slim” or a conservative, retarded! Again, I went to a state school, so I am not very smart. Got kids in law school and pharmacy school, but they got smarts from their mother. Hopefully this triggers all of you to make up some new names for me. Especially you out of state people! Which is most of you. Why cant people, that claim to be SO intelligent, act like adults??? And know we ALL KNOW what is gonna happen now, right? GO!
Hey, Across, please send your post directly to the White House. They could use some of your sage advice.
Sorry, doesn’t answer my question. Are we gonna call Jane nasty names? Come on now, I know you guys can do it!! Sorry Jane.
Anyone know what Across the Aisle is talking about?
I think Jane Murphy was asking serious questions, and wondering about why there isn’t more seriousness coming out of the SD political establishment. I think I know why. There isn’t much seriousness in the Republican Party. They prefer to organize 4th of July fireworks shows, rather than do the real work of government.
Since Across the Aisle mentioned out-of-state folks, let me just say it’s not much different in SD than in the Republican-controlled Wisconsin Legislature, which brought us a shameful COVID-19 primary that is bound to bring an uptick in COVID cases in a couple weeks. It’s as if the deer-in-the-headlights gaze, the lies, the downplaying and desperate flailing is about all we can expect from Republicans in these sorts of situations. That was certainly true in the first few days after 9-11 and during Katrina. Contrast that with the Ebola outbreak, and Democratic response: trust expert advise, use the best of science and technology, organize an all-of-government response, develop a global response and meet the disease head on, all while Rush and Trump were whimpering, cowering and spinning false narratives.
Mark, that’s only what the individual with covid-19 told law enforcement. I find it unlikely a nurse actually cleared him to expose others to coronavirus.
(In small-ball on this post: “partisan unity” may be when partisans work together toward common goals. Now quit trying to make the discussion about the discussants and let’s talk public policy. No one here is the news.)
Old feller raises his hand. Partisan unity equals bipartisan.
I KNEW you would try to MAKE something up Corey! What she wrote was wrong! YOU should know better than anyone! But, you say “It may be”! As Joe would say, “COME ON MAN”! My point is, I know what she meant. But, I did not get on here and call her stupid. Any conservative that would have said it would not have been afforded the same! I dont know Jane, but I assume that she is not stupid, even if I dont agree with her. That is the difference between me and all of you libs on this sight. You are against true debate! Trump is stupid and ALL Republicans are stupid! Your “fans” words, not mine. I dont think any of you are stupid. I appreciate and respect anyone that can say not only what they believe, but WHY. The 5 people on here only want to be kissed in the ass by one another and anyone that doesnt agree is a “fill in the blank”. Shows how truly shallow they are! Thats why most of us just read this for the laughs of self proclaiming academia’s trying to pretend how smart they all are, while acting like middle school kids. You all say lets talk about the issues.. I agree! This blog would be much better. It would less funny and more substantial.
Here’s a smart guy. Let’s see what he has to say. Giggle at this
“Chamath Palihapitiya, founder and CEO of investment firm Social Capital, told CNBC on Thursday that the U.S. shouldn’t be bailing out billionaires and hedge funds during the coronavirus pandemic.
“On Main Street today, people are getting wiped out. Right now, rich CEOs are not, boards that have horrible governance are not. People are,” Palihapitiya, an early Facebook executive, said on CNBC’s “Fast Money Halftime Report.”
“What we’ve done is disproportionately prop up poor-performing CEOs and boards, and you have to wash these people out.”
“Just to be clear on who we are talking about. We’re talking about a hedge fund that serves a bunch of billionaire family offices, who cares? They don’t get the summer in the Hamptons?” he said. “These are the people that purport to be the most sophisticated investors in the world.”
Palihapitiya also said he was concerned that the Federal Reserve’s plans to support to economy during the COVID-19 crisis are going to have consequences.”https://www.cnbc.com/2020/04/09/chamath-palihapitiya-us-needs-to-let-hedge-funds-billionaires-fail.html?__source=twitter%7Cmain
No plan, no plan, no plan. The republican plan. That’s why you need partisan unity to make things work or you get no plan.
Across the aisle is a horse’s patootie. I know I, as an out of stater, feel better. Wingnuts in northern Mississippi feel no need for bi-partisanship as they have gerrymandered majorities for eternity.
What South Dakota is in dire need of is liberal thinking policy makers to bring the state into the 21st century while there is still time.
Now that the Governor has declared an official public health emergency in Minnehaha County, site of one of the biggest coronavirus hotspots in the nation, let’s see if she uses her authority to quarantine anyone… or maybe to order an extended closure and inspection of the Smithfield plant.
And still not enough tests. We all should and need to be tested, that’s the only way to end this. trump/republican senators let us down big time. They could’ve done something rather than trying to profit from it. NOem said that we had like a thousand tests weeks ago and now she doesn’t say anything about how many tests we have and why we are not all getting them. No plan republicans.
“As Fran Lebowitz says in the latest New Yorker, Trump is “unbelievably stupid”
So what does that make Republicans?? Certainly not smart.
Really easy to Monday morning QB isn’t it? Thanks Jerry. Didn’t take long did it. Hillary would have done much better. “Come On Man”!
I quote below from a letter I received from Mayor TenHaken after I wrote begging him to try to get Smithfield to close for the nationally required 14 day quarantine:
“Like you, I am concerned with the number of confirmed cases of COVID-19 amongst Smithfield employees and their families. When I first learned of the high-rate of spread, the City reached out to Smithfield leadership, Smithfield union representation, the South Dakota Department of Health, Avera and Sanford Health to offer our support and expertise. Since the outbreak happened, Smithfield took actions in compliance with CDC guidelines. The additional actions by Smithfield announced on April 9 should make an impact in mitigating further spread within their workspaces and protect its employees while at the facility.
“It is important to remember the importance of Smithfield to the sustainability of the national food supply chain. The Sioux Falls plant supplies nearly 130 million servings of food per week in the United States. During a crisis such as this pandemic, we have to make sure our employees are protected from the virus as well as ensure that the food supply is reliable and continues to provide nutrition to the nation.
“As an important part of the nation’s food security, the federal government has designated Smithfield as an essential infrastructure sector. As such, the City lacks authority to mandate actions to Smithfield and other essential employers such as suspension of operations. However, our Health Department is collaborating with Smithfield, the State and health care providers on best practices and mitigation recommendations to protect employees.
“Also important is recognizing the State is the lead agency in managing the COVID-19 response. The State has the primary jurisdiction in investigating infections, quarantining patients and mandating business mitigation efforts. The City’s role is to advise essential employers like Smithfield on recommendations to protect employees and slow the spread of COVID-19. We will continue to advise employers in Sioux Falls on what they can do to slow the spread of COVID-19 and protect employees.
“Thank you again for contacting me on this topic. I appreciate your civic engagement and passion for Sioux Falls.’
Best regards,
Paul TenHaken
Mayor, City of Sioux Falls
In other words, no, they’re going to continue on their way.
If we stop butchering hogs for 14 days, the terrorists win.
Sweden isn’t instituting any type of shutdown, just asking people to follow suggestions. Not working so well. Their medical people are asking the government to take action with teeth!
“Sweden’s ‘curve’ — the rate of infections and deaths caused by coronavirus — is certainly steeper than that of many other European countries with stricter measures. A study by Imperial College London estimated that 3.1% of the Swedish population was infected (as of March 28) — compared to 0.41% in Norway and 2.5% in the UK.”
CNN
It certainly looks like the states with shutdowns are doing the right thing to protect their citizens.

looks likely today’s drumpf body count beats ’em all.
Across, I read Janes comment as a reference to the infighting that is going on INSIDE the Repub. party. So far, the only one associating any of those names to you here is you. Do you see that?
I had an exchange student from Pamplona, Spain. His father is an ER Dr, AND got infected. His son, our son, is a medical student, to be a neuro-surgeon. His father told me that his government did a horrible job with prevention. He said he is doing better and will be alright. Our Spanish son, in med school, said that they have no room for the sick and that they have rented, Ice Skating Rinks, to stack the dead. His father said, (and he does not speak english and has stayed with my family), that his govt did NOTHING for prevention, and anyone that says prevention is bad, is wrong. Our govt has done a great job! You all want to make this political! Shame on you. Like this little punk from Brookings, CELEBRATING, a legislator dying! And that ALL REPUBLICANS, should go lick a handrail, in his memory! Really?? Come on CAH???? You don’t cover that??? Neither side should talk like that. AND, then the little chicken sh–, locks down??? I HOPE that he was being a young idiot and apologizes to the family. But, CAH says nothing???? HMMM???? This is horrible from EITHER side and you wont cover it! So, you either agree with him or you are also Chicken Shi-! Be an adult and cover this, either way!
I, for one, don’t think the Libbie hate here is going far enough and hope the Governor calls a militia out and locks everybody in Minnehaha county up in their own homes, the homeless in the Sanford center, and issues shoot-to-kill orders to anybody going to a convenience store, casino, or cigarette retailer of any sort.
When “Across the Aisle” sez he might be referred to as “in bread,” does that mean we think he’s flour and yeast based?
Across the Aisle, we dig mass graves for our dead. Republicans, you and your brethren, botched this. Here are your own words and dates. https://www.youtube.com/watch?time_continue=175&v=NAh4uS4f78o&feature=emb_title
Yes, this virus is political and we could’ve prevented the damage here had trump listened to the intelligence reports. Yes this virus is political because republican’s did nothing. They had the power and they did nothing. They sent medical equipment everywhere but here. daddy trump even had the gall to let people die on board a ship so they wouldn’t come ashore and make “his” numbers look bad. Nope, this is all on you bud, sucks don’t it.
Mr. Mike, you are in Iowa, so I understand your fears about the stopping of butchering of hogs for 14 days. The stench in Iowa will grow so strong it will either kill all Iowegians, or knock out that nasty little covid bug. It’s a roll of the dice.

True that Debbo, true that.
I so miss Democratic leadership in a pandemic. Obama’s leadership did so much in the fight against these deadly breakouts…this was a good example of partisan unity.
“The World Health Organization (WHO) has said a new case of Ebola has been confirmed in the Democratic Republic of the Congo (DRC).
The announcement on Friday came just days before the country’s largest-ever outbreak was expected to be declared over.”

I’m guessing he has a yeast infection, fella.
grudznick makes me smile……go grud!
You know that since Smithfield is owned by the Chinese perhaps the best action would be to shut it down till the owners stepped up to do something about it. They seem to have done a pretty good job in their country. Instead we do just the opposite.. Essential industry….as mentioned a couple more weeks of growing those hogs is just going to make bigger pork chop’s. Nice to mention the number of pork meals for American’s…..wonder how many for the Chinese owners.
I don’t see much difference between this Oacoma moron, Noem and Trump. None of them seem to understand the gravity of the situation they are in. I’d be for incarcerating all three of them for endangering lives.
We are a day away from Easter, the day that Trump was insisting two weeks ago would be time to have all the social distancing end. I’m sure the fool would have done it, too, without the sane people in government being able to sedate him with, you know, some rather stark facts. But such sedation wears off, and he is regularly provided hallucinogenic advise by Rudy, Sean, Laura and the entire Fox crew of COVID Marys out there. Their advise is more along the lines of that dippy teen girl who was encouraging her suicidal friend to kill himself.
I don’t know what sad suicidal soul is going to be the first to go to work on Trump’s or Noem’s advise, but I’d hope he or she has written out a good will first. I know I listen to Trump and believe the opposite of whatever mush or lie he spews. If the Trump Cult goes to work or Easter services maybe half of them die, and we rid our country of some morons.
Across the Aisle in one of his comments above imparted a good idea from what he called “this little punk from Brookings, CELEBRATING, a legislator dying!” Now I don’t celebrate anyone’s death from COVID or anything else. And I think there are some good Republicans out there, but after seeing what some evil Republicans made Wisconsinites go through last Tuesday, I do think those Republicans “should go lick a handrail, in his memory!”
I think the Chinese owners could do that…if American producers would also stop supplying pork for the kill floor. How would that all work do you think Clyde? It would also mean that the corn you sell might even have more of a diminished market. So yeah, by all means, lets get that Chinese company to shut’r down…as it is right now.
How Senators Rounds and Thune have politicized the virus regarding funding. Governor Cuomo of New York most clearly lays it out. These two country bumpkins (Rounds, Thune and every republican in the senate…Except Mitt) should try to make America Great Again instead of dividing her. https://www.youtube.com/watch?time_continue=38&v=C0CnSzrJGBc&feature=emb_title
Instead of the United States of America, we are now back to 1850’s thinking. A house divided cannot stand.
Virus funding? New York gets $12k per case. Nebraska gets $300k per case. Colorado has gotten 1% of ventilators they ordered, apparently only after wingnut senator asked for them. Sounds like serious political gamesmanship from the tool in chief.
https://www.salon.com/2020/04/09/trump-says-he-only-gave-colorado-1-of-the-ventilators-it-needs-after-gop-senator-asked-for-them/
Good idea, Clyde. Hurt farmers even moar than drumpf and his stoopid idea trade wars have done. The idea is to get the economy up and running, which will take months and months, not shut it down even moar.
As for Grudzilla, he is almost as Hillary-ous as drumpf himself. Life of the party, the fascist party.

I admit to being pretty dense but for the life of me I can’t see how the nationality of the owners of Smithfield or any other American business is relevant to a discussion about the virus. I suppose my best guess is that it is a symptom of the IRA pro-Trump tactic of using xenophobia as a weapon to alienate and divide Americans. Otherwise reference to nationality in this context simply seems to be entirely irrelevant and thus makes no rational sense. Have we totally forgotten the lesson we should have learned from our immoral and irrational Japanese interment camps in the 1940’s?
That makes two of us who are dense then bcb. There have been some attacks on Asian Americans recently with one being a chemical attack. Are we gonna start blaming the Hutterites for the outbreak in Huron? Fear is an ugly thing and in order to rise above that fear, there must be a plan. We have no plan. We have two senators here with one being a very high rank in the senate and nothing. Nothing except the same old tired political bullcrap that does nothing to solve the issues at hand. No plan republicans is all that we can see.

If bcb is dense, there is no hope for most of the rest of us here. But, I do not look heavenward for salvation. I got garden to plant (just tilled last evening) and got thunderboomers headed my way with 4-6 inches of white flaky moisture tomorrow. I did receive my onion plants.
A lady on Facebook just posted an announcement that Smithfield is NOT closing for 3 days, they’re just moving people around – some are cleaning but others, including the author’s husband, are working on the processing side while it’s supposedly closed. So Smithfield is gaming the system again.
Mr Pay, thank you for proving my point. And your body counts??? What is the Clinton body count??? Hmmm???? ALL CONSERVATIVES MUST DIE!!!! Just say it you chicken shi@s. Its what you think right? Or not ALL but SOME???? Right??? Either is wrong. You all bitch about Trump and his middle school name calling, which I also think is stupid. BUT, YOU ALL THEN DO THE SAME! Oh wait, you all did it before Trump was in office! SOOOO. Who is more childish? Another day and I am still giggling at you all and your childish crap and your lefty talking points! I can find crap on the net that LOOKS good, but I know it’s crap.
A few years ago as Artist in Residence at the Game Lodge in Custer State Park a tourist remarked, “I finally made it to South Dakota, it is the last state on my bucket list.” I replied, “That’s okay, we’re used to being last.” Kristi gets that…she seems proud to be last. Problem is that I am 72 years old, lived every one of them in South Dakota (except the first 11 months as I was born in Nebraska and moved to the state just two weeks before the Blizzard of ’49) and ever since high school in the 60’s I have known that South Dakota was about 20 years behind the rest of the country but, now in 2020, just when the state SHOULD be entering into the 21st Century we are headed back to the 19th Century. Oh, with Kristi driving.
Beautiful work you do sir, always a delight to see the heart and soul you put into the work.
Mr. Pay, you’re correct. Democracy went to die in Wisconsin. Republicans there, killed it, in the same way they want to kill it all over this country. This is by no means intended to make you feel worse than you already feel, it is meant to show that what happened in your state is your worse fears.
“Less than 72 hours before polls opened in Wisconsin on 7 April, the state legislature convened to weigh an emergency request from the governor, Tony Evers. With Covid-19 cases in the thousands, Evers implored the lawmakers to delay in-person voting for the state’s presidential primary and mail a ballot to every voter in the state.
It was a meeting only in name. Republicans, who control 63 of 99 seats in the state assembly, sent just one member. He brought the session to order and then immediately ended it without taking up the governor’s request. It took just 17 seconds. In the Republican-controlled state senate, the same thing happened, according to the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel. It took even less time.
The legislature’s defiance was a naked display of unabashed power – an elected body refusing its governor’s request and turning its back on its constituents in a time of crisis.” https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2020/apr/10/wisconsin-voter-restrictions-democracy-coronavirus-primary
From the state that brought us Joe McCarthy and Roy Cohn (that birthed trump) we now have these crooked republican hi-jinks. They are unfit to govern, because they all hate government, giggles included.
Why dont you all move to California??? People on here, not from SD,bitch. MOVE!!! It gets so sickening. Gerrymandering?? WIN a freekin few elections and then you can gerrymander. Oh, I am sure you wouldn’t??? Ya right! You can’t even get candidates!
Isn’t it nice to have such a happy, friendly, cheerful and welcoming South Dakotan as ATA on DFP? Makes the state really feel like such a great place.
Thank you, ATA. Bless you on this Most Holy Easter weekend. You are a Christian of course, because you are a Real South Dakotan. Bless you.
You really are a kind heart Debbo. From our camp to your’s, have a great, safe and peaceful weekend.
OK, are we going to call Jane names today??? Debbo, you are disappointing me! You are usually an all star at this. You and mike FROM iowa, which we all know what that means here. Idiots Out Wondering Around!!! Come on mike, stay in your lane. If you want to play and CAH lets me??? We can play! And I am not talking about anyone dying, like you all. I just want to play. I am conservative, BUT, I BET YOU CANT HANG W ME, if you really want to play this little game. I am really bored. OBVIOUSLY, or I would not be on here. So, it’s Easter weekend. I have approval from my conservative pastor. So lets play! Mike, from “I is Retarded!”!
Cautious hope folks. Cautious.
“Sarah Gilbert, professor of vaccinology at Oxford University, told The Times on Saturday that she is “80% confident” the vaccine would work, and could be ready by September. Experts have warned the public that vaccines typically take years to develop, and one for the coronavirus could take between 12 to 18 months at best.”

Who’s Jane? Who’s on first? Who is Hang W Me?
Come on Jerry! First post on this thread! I am a retard and I gotta help you out!
Sarah Gilbert??? Isn’t she on Little House. And now probably on CNN
Across wanted someone to call him as name. i obliged. What’s the problem? Grudzilla’s answer to every wingnut problem in South Dakota is to stop people from out of state chiming in. The state needs the feds to come in and take control of the whole works and start throwing wingnut crooks in federal prison alongside drumpf and his while criminal family enterprise.
Debbo, you are one of the worst offenders on here of acting like a 12 year old middle school kid. And I am not “Happy, friendly and cheerful”. Because you all on here want to hear one another spout the same crap and then you all kiss ass. You dont want to debate. None of you do. You are chicken shi!. Because you cant. You call names and play your little games. I know liberal democrats that are 100x the “Warriors” that you all think you are! Now Debbo, I have seen your picture, it should be UGGO! I can play your game, but usually choose not to, but???? If your buddy CAH will let me, I will play your little game that your play on here everyday, without anybody calling your bullshi!. Well, I am bored. So come on DEBBO! Lets play!!!
Mr. ATA, I think it is “out-of-state name-callers” that you are yanking on the rug from under. Those are the people who keep Mr. H from being electable in Aberdeen, which is confounding to many. But please continue. This could be an egg from the bunny for this weekend for many.
Mike from Itarded!!! I will play with you too.. Lets go. You want me to embarrass you too, in front of your only friends???? Bring your best name for me. And I will give you one! Come on its just like when we were little kids.
Grud, MR H, himself, is the ONLY thing keeping him from getting elected.! “COME ON MAN” Joe Biden
Thank you for being so gentlemanly, ATA. ☺️
Across the Aisle, I allowed that some specific Republicans are evil, and should “lick the handrail.” That’s just because I’m conservative and wouldn’t want to overburden the taxpayers in this difficult time by having to house them in prison while these elitist murders await the hanging they deserve. Let’s just say I’m a forgiving sort, maybe too liberal for my own good. If the evil Republicans survive the handrail licking, they get a full reprieve. The rest get stacked in the dead pile.
But you still love me, right Mr. Pay? I have been, after all, elected as the “most lovable conservative with common sense on this blog” for 5 years running.
Only in drumpf’sw wingnutland can the perps become the victims.
Mr. mike, you might be from Iowa, but that doesn’t give you cause to call Mr. H a “perp.” Hold onto your hogs, sir, as we’re going to shut down our plant that cuts them up. Slow down the piglet production, please.
Grudz, I love you so much that I’ll have you lick something other than the handrail.
That’s very sweet, Mr. Pay. I appreciate it. Next time you’re in town, call up my friend Bob and he’ll set up the sort of meeting you require. Before breakfast, of course.
DP, that excuses your comment? Sorry! Grow up or shut up. Be a big boy and say it was stupid and gain a little respect, or shut up.Debbo, Really? thats it?? Call me some names, you big bully! People like you, got Trump elected! Dont you get that??? You are all SOOOOOO smart. And you are all going to get him re-elected!!!! Thank You!!! And Mike from CORNHOLER Heaven, isn’t Drumpf getting a little old. “COME ON MAN”! I assume Mike is a man, or will be someday? Cant a man/person of your high intelligence come up with a new name for the PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES? What was your nick name for Obama?? How about “Never Did Anything to get elected other than being half black dude”??? Now I am racist right??? Be very very careful!
ATA, no thanks. I’m done with you. When someone goes into the sewer of racial epithets, I don’t follow them. Bye, bye.
I knew you would take that bait!! You mean “black dude”? How do know, that I am not an “actual black dude” like O’bama, is he Irish??? Thats why I said to be careful. Now ” The Donald” is gonna take his ball and go home! You are lazy and retarded! Hmm. Must be rubil-=uiuicaN? Nice easy out. Dont want to make you my bitc$, in front of all your smart friends??? Your chicken shi$$$$$$$ lib. Happy Easter!! Hope that also pisses you off. And Debbo. You question my religion??? And my intelligence? You have no idea what I have done for my church and people not in my church, including traveling to other countries. I dont ask what they believe or even IF, they believe. Still went!!! Probably saved some dem lives???? Dont know, didnt ask, didnt care!!!! And that time away from my family and business cost me money while out of the country. You are all so radical. If people need help. I dont ask for a voter ID card! HA You all hate that. Anyway, Donald “Dont Want To Pay” sorry if I offended you!!! Call Your Mommy or therapist! Not so much fun in the pit with all your buddies and I jump in. You have no idea my race or religion and you run like a 12 year old w beer from the cops! FUNNY!!!!!!
And by the way, Donald “who else is gonna Pay” for this, why did Barrock Hussein Obama get elected? Or better yet, WHY did the DNC push him? His accomplishments in the Senate??? His great work before the Senate???? GIVE ME ONE THING HE DID TO GET NOMINATION??? That right , YOU CANT!!!!! Truth hurts doesnt it, Donald “Who is gonna Pay for lunch”???? Thats right, you gave up on this racist… You tooo are a chicken shi bleep!
This is a very stressful time for most Americans. Perhaps this is why ATA is so volatile. He is using DFP to relieve some of his feelings of fear and anxiety by attacking others. It’s fairly common.
? Cant a man/person of your high intelligence come up with a new name for the PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES?
\Sure can, but this is a family blog, tool. Why don’t you shut up? Are you like drumpf and still yap even when no ones winds you up? BTW, drumpf is the original drumpf family name or didn’t Fake Noize tell you that? you are just another wingnut troll with no redeeming social values. tootles.

Ya right “Blubbo”, I am bored and sick of your crap! So why is it that you all attack year around, every year? Fear, Anxiety? You had O’bamaphone for 8 years, but you attack anyone that doesnt agree with you???? You are the worst one on this jr high blog and now you feel bad for me. HAAAA.
Hey giggles, we all agree that your nuts…or your mom’s not home…
Hey Jerrymandered, are you not the one who said, “WHO IS JANE”? Keep up or shut up! And my parents are both dead, thank you very much. If I was a lib, I would cry. BUT, I bet you still hear voices dont you Jerry. I bet some of the “phd’ people on here can help you! Again, until this is over, NOW, I have to screw up your liberal yuppie, back patting, wet dream!!! It will be fun for all that are not to chicken shi WHOOPPS to play.. Now go to sleep and dream up new names for me and others like me. And SMELLO, I am a very proud Christian, if you want to play about that, than bring it. WOOOOOOOOO, a Christian. Grow up you, so called adult, PUKES! HAPPY EASTER!
I do hear voices giggles, all the time now. Know what they tell me? They all say that partisan unity is the answer. Hell, I didn’t even know I had a question and yet those voices answered. Pretty swell, no?
And I hope that my comments keep you up ALL Easter weekend. Oh, sorry, dont want to to offend you all!!!! Red, yellow, black, white, muts and O’ whatever color I need to be for today! Happy Easter! Everybody please leave your tip at the door and I will be back, next week. Until then, take care!! See you Libs, thats how its done. I wish nobody ill or harm. DEBATE is where it is at. Nobody dies or wishes the others would!
Easter, and religion in general, Mr. AtA, is a crutch for the mentally weak. Overgodders should be slapped with leaves, and eggs are for a big breakfast on Sunday mornings over which the strong debate the issues. With gravy, a plenty, over sausages.
BAH on Easter. It is an excuse to sell bonnets.
Keep those bar glasses full giggles. Hope your hangover is not to bad tomorrow so you can remember where you hid those Easter eggs.
Jerry should I send you a form for “partisan” “UNITY”? Please send me an essay on how this works? And I thought u didnt know who Jane was, or her comment????? She meant bipartisan!
DUH!!!! I got that right away. But, YOU say my side is stupid when we make a mistake? And still, we are not calling Jane names? Maybe Jane should go ask Tarzan? HMM? No, I know what she meant and you sharks are the reason I ran this nice lady over the coles. And jerry, go back to your mother in laws basement and shut the hell up. I will be playing all weekend. Remember to tip your bartenders and waitresses.
Me Grudzilla, Me talk like a caveman. AND I am a crutch??? You talk to yourself all the time and think its cute. HMMMMM
Mr. AtA, you entertain me. You may continue.
Grudz you freeking pukes entertain me also. Or I would not be here and I thought U, were a bright one??? Oh, well
giggles makes me laugh in a partisan unity kind of way.
Jerry, I love uhow you act like a big boy! And try to act like your are smart, by everyone else’s responses, How brave of you. You, Jerry, are like a liitle girl on the playground. The next time mommy lets you come out and play. Bring your stuff, not CNN’s, mommy and daddy’s, but YOURS. Be A MAN!
giggles, I am too manly to know how a little girl would act, but you seem quite capable of that knowledge. Must’ve been a difficult childhood for you.
Yep, I’m thinking it’s a stress response and that normally ATA is calm, respectful and relaxed. As I said it’s going around in these times and that’s understandable.
I was chatting with a friend earlier today and we think this is more like the Great Depression than the 1917-19 Flu. There were some abnormal or uncharacteristic behaviors then as well. This and impending climate catastrophe are enormous stressors, especially on Generations Y, Z and Millennials.
Just like to throw in a correction.
If Smithfield in SF is closed no hog farmers will be hurt by it because Smithfield owns all the hogs. The farmers are only contracted employees if you will. No hog FARMERS left.
As to the xenophobia issue, I think you all misunderstood. Not to mention you are way to willing to jump on that bandwagon. I personally have great respect for the way the Chinese have gotten this virus under control. Makes leadership in this country look pretty useless. Don’t feel very good about their leadership trying to cover up the problem for too long before finally going to work on it.
When someone picks the moniker “Across the Aisle” it would appear that picking a fight is all that person is interested in. Not ” bipartisan” or “logical”discussion definitely. That person likes to think of himself as a “conservative” while regarding folks on this blog as “liberals” “libbies” or I’m sure he would rather “libtards”. It is too bad that his political position doesn’t include “rational”.
We have lost something in this digital age. A few decades ago, ATA, would have gotten his jaw broken and the fellow across from him arrested for assault or he would have been arrested for assaulting who ever was across from him.
Smithfield is closing on Wednesday. Dang it, missed my call by 72 hours. Good for them and good for Sioux Falls and the state. Thanks to all who forced the hand.

Hey hey Donald J, how many did you kill today?
No, Mr. Across the Aisle, I don’t plan to call anyone names. You’re putting all of us in one basket and accusing everyone who posts here of calling others names. That’s called stereotyping and that’s the kind of philosophy that discrimination derives from. You should pardon the dangling participle or whatever that is.
