Cutting CDC funding, eliminating Pandemic Task Force, cutting off Affordable Care Act, dereliction of responsibility federally, blaming CDC and other countries, withholding PPE and forcing state and local governments and hospitals to fend for themselves. What a national disgrace. Get them the fuck out of there. They are useless and more importantly, detrimental to our survival.

(8,185 posts)that electing a bumbling crowd of self centered greedy ego trippers into high office wouldn't have some very serious repercussions later on?
Sad if you thought that!

Kick in to the DU tip jar?
This week we're running a special pop-up mini fund drive. From Monday through Friday we're going ad-free for all registered members, and we're asking you to kick in to the DU tip jar to support the site and keep us financially healthy.
As a bonus, making a contribution will allow you to leave kudos for another DU member, and at the end of the week we'll recognize the DUers who you think make this community great.
