I hate them.

. Unemployment numbers soar.

. Economy in free fall.

. Death rates soar.

. US food chain in jeopardy.

. No testing kits only lies.

. No PPE for the states, the Federal Government is seizing it all to dole out to those that kiss his ring.

. Our 'leaders' have left us on our own. They have proven beyond a shadow of doubt that they hate America and all Americans.

We have become a shit hole country. Those responsible are the 'Resident, his admin and every GOP member of House and Senate.

It is the states that are working in harmony, some of them anyway. Oregon gave NY ventilators they desperately needed, they sent them back when hospitalization went down. California is doing the same. They are also sending them to other states as well. States are sharing minimal supplies and the 'Resident does nothing. My niece does not have enough PPE and the 'Resident does nothing.

The states are doing what the 'Resident' refuses to do. They are doing everything they can to save Americans lives and do their best to protect the frontline of caregivers.

Normally, I am not a hater. I hate them all from the depths of my soul now.

I just don't get it. I don't. Such hatred from them toward the American people that they under oath swore, SWORE to serve and protect against all enemies foreign and domestic.

I am at a loss, Cha and very angry tonight. Saw my niece today, she said work is hell right now. She is on the front line and gets a F**KING rain coat to wear.

She sent out an SOS on her neighborhood web site if anyone had some to spare. She is out of Purell, and cleaning products due to selfish hoarders. She received that and protective gloves on her door step.

He is doing a pretty good job. Dissed Donnie several times. He also will NOT OPEN UP YET!

WE are closed until at least 05/14.

A Republican, yet will give credit where credit is due. WE secured N95 masks. Feds seized them. Baker was furious.

East and West coast states have been talking. They are making a plan and telling Don to fuck off. They will be telling him when we open.

If no testing, then they don't open. Don doesn't want testing and is leaving it to the states without test kits.

They've blocked an affordable health care plan for decades, stating they had a better plan. When asked to show it, it was a bunch of scrawl on the cover of a brochure. Republicans are reprehensible. They are enemies of The Constitution and a scourge to the planet with the way they encourage pillage and plunder of all its natural resources. They love death and misery and money more than anything. May they fall and never, ever rise again.

And there's no learning from the past. Trump just doubles down on whatever stupid thing he did before.

You know, in an unprecedented situation like this, you expect a lot of mistakes. But you expect that real leaders would learn from their mistakes and admit them--


Trump never admits he was wrong before, so everyone around him has to pretend he was always right.

The president and all Republicans stand down in seeming perpetuity.

“Our leaders”, Pelosi and Democrats, have not failed us.

The distinction is very important to because not to ould seem to be part of the both-sideism. some cannot tell the difference and others don’t want the difference to be known.

Talking to him is like talking to Lindsey Graham.

Talking to her is like talking to Laura Ingraham.

What a shit show - I don't need that crap.

Not that we were ever that close in the first place, you understand.

But our Parents are gone, as is our eldest sibling.

So there's just my brother, my sister and me left.

God, how I HATE trump for tearing us apart like this.

Thank God my sister has brains, though - we can't wait till November.

I haven't spoken to my brother since the day I called to tell him my estranged husband had blown his brains out. My Republican brother demonstrated his empathy by changing the conversation to give me an earful about his ailing hip and how he was going to need his second hip replaced.

There is something wrong with people who support Trump. My brother's response to the shocking news I told him was proof. These people are only concerned with themselves.

It is just the two of us. Our parents died years ago. They probably would have liked Trump, too, as they were both Republicans. LOVED Reagan.

Fri Apr 17, 2020, 03:06 AM
Apr 2020

The GOP despises a central, federal government, i.e., our constitution, and so they do all they can to ensure that it fails. They then use the failure that they cause as rationalization of their hatred of central, federal government. Moscow Mitch and his peers want to return to pre-Civil War days when this was "these" United States instead of "the" United States. They believe the only role for a central government is to protect business with minimal interference in same.

Civil War II is on, without the gunfire, at the same time we're fighting a global cold war against oligarchies.

21. Food chain is shutting down in some areas
Fri Apr 17, 2020, 09:25 AM
Apr 2020

MSNBC Stephanie Ruhle show reporting this AM that more than a dozen plants are shutdown or curtailing hours nationwide. Beef, pork, chicken ... high infection rates among employees, more than a few have died. One plant I think they said Georgia, 5% of nationwide production. Consumers recommended to buy only what they need, stores may limit supplies to avoid panic hoarding.

Historically, food riots not good for incumbents!

But I'm right there with you. Each and every repuke must go down in flames this November. And several of them should be convicted. And while we're at it, the stupid fuckers who continue to back repukes must be dealt with harshly. Maybe condemn their homes and let minorities move in.

37. Civil War is brewing.
Sun Apr 19, 2020, 07:06 PM
Apr 2020

Both the MAGATs and moderate to left folks realize that the nation is crumbling, with infections and deaths spreading, the economy tanking, and supply systems breaking down. The right thinks the solution is to go back to work and slog it out despite illness and deaths. Until it happens to them or people close to them, they have a social Darwinist view. Let the weak and the old die; it's natural.

The left believes that continuing to work during a pandemic will not save the economy or the supply systems and networks. It will only hasten the downfall as people sicken and die, leaving gaps in the system and causing economic breakdown. We favor treating the illness first and stimulating the economy. Beating the illness with tests, quarentines, will allow the states to gradually reopen. Money given as a rescue now will save us economically in the long run when people safely return to work and pay back the rescue with tax revenue from their earnings.

As Trump incites fear and belligerence about reopening, the risk of violent attacks and consequent retaliation increases. A single violent act could trigger full scale battles between left and right because tensions and animosity are so high.

late 2017 when his approvals were below 40%. Steven Cohen D-TN presented the most brilliant comprehensive Articles on November 15, 2017 - all still true and unpunished for today. Sadly, falls into "what might have been but we will never know" category.
