I'm royally pissed at him today. More than usual. He and his band of scary men need to be fired.

Why did Roe v Wade take 40 years longer than it should have to be approved? He might have never existed. Why didn't Crazy Raygun nuke Moscow and avoid all of this with Vlad? He can go to hell too.

If we're a true democracy (one person, one vote), the Electoral College must be as unconstitutional as a Poll Tax. That won't happen until we impeach Gorsuch and Bluto Kavanaugh.

living is an entitlement for the proles.

Guess hating on government and trying to drown it in the bathtub is more important than protecting people.

Wealthy figure they can isolate themselves and get the best medical treatment if that fails.

I'd bet a lot of wealthy folks died in previous pandemics.

Always
Trump supporters can’t see the truth
For them, it’s always blame the black man
Reminds me of my mother’s classmate back in the 1920’s.
Some young women were doing a radical thing: bobbing their hair (cutting it short)
Mother’s classmate asked her father if she could cut her hair. Her father said no. The girl cut it anyway and told her father a black man did it!

he invited Navajo WW2 vets to the Oval Office, he met with them under a huge portrait of Jackson.

Washington Post has an article on it, but the url is humungous. You can find it by googling the words Navajo, Jackson, and Trump.

Obama should not be blaming George W. Bush (2008 market crash), but Trump in his fourth year is blaming the Obama administration for the Coronavirus response issues.

Hypocrisy is their middle name!
