Amazing that with people still dying we are worried about Liz Cheney

Would like to see a prime time news conference..How much have the Indian and other variants/mutations infected our country and what are we doing about it?

Update on vaccines/boosters to guard against variants? Which states should be praised for highest vaccine %s? Create competition!! Who is on the bottom? Utah?

Maslow's theory - deal with life and death first, now!

block it out. Maybe we shouldn't, but if there is little we can do to help, it may be a defense mechanism to shove it to the back of our minds.

Stalin's quote, "a single death is a tragedy, a million deaths are a statistic" is how our minds work. Even mother Theresa said that if she thought about the the total misery she would get noting done.

to see what the Cheney party does. Surely they still have some power but seeing Rhomey being beat up makes me think they do not have a lot.

It is about the fact that the GOP has become a fascist authoritarian party on the verge of becoming full on Nazis.

Nobody here is worried about Liz Cheney. We're worried about her nutbag party coming after the rest of the country after they finish with Cheney,

Let her sit in the aisle in the Wayne Morse folding chair as an independent. Yeah, I know Wayne was a senator but we can be inclusive in the House.

Cindy McCain has me looking a bit better towards Republicans that are the exceptions that prove the rule.

The rule being: Republicans suck or worse.
