That's my President!

March 6, 2021

"The Cancel Culture" meme is just the new "Fake News" right wing smoke and mirrors act.

"They" brought up Cancel Culture after social media platforms decided and with good reasons
to take down the Russian Propaganda, Right Wing Neo Nazi Crap, and Trump and others lies
that election was stolen from Trump and starting in 2015 Trump and the right used "Fake News"
to obscure that Trump, the GOP, and Russia were working to rig the upcoming elections.

The right can not win on facts so they have to muddy the waters with side issues many of
which they just make up. See Hillary's emails, ANTIFA (I don't think it really exists), Benghazi,
Al Gore claimed he invented the internet, voter ID to stop voter fraud (which really doesn't happen),
and anything that Fox, News Max, and so are are complaining about in order to get their base
pissed off @ "the Libs."

Remember if they got rid of the electoral college the Ds would have won every Presidential election
from 1992 to now. I know they have the TV stations, the hate talk radio, the Christian Evangelical
pastors and followers, and the racist mouth breathers but we have more of us then they have of
"them." The use of the term Cancel Culture shows just how weak and scared they really are.

Then again I could be wrong about everything because @ sometime in my life I liked Joe Paterno,
Woody Allen, and Bill Cosby.

100% Conspiracy Thread. Rich Community got vaccine early, Kushner, and 20 million missing doses

Democrats ask if DeSantis donations helped wealthy island enclave get early vaccines: ‘This is wrong on so many levels’

Last week, former Illinois governor Bruce Rauner (R) was inspired to donate a quarter-million dollars to Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis’s war chest.

The hefty donation came about a month after Rauner’s ultrawealthy and exclusive community on the northern tip of Key Largo received enough coronavirus vaccine doses for 1,200 residents over the age of 65, according to a Miami Herald report on Wednesday evening.

“This is wrong on so many levels,” state Sen. Annette Taddeo, a Democrat who represents part of Miami-Dade County, said in a tweet Wednesday night. “Floridians life saving vaccines should NOT depend on a rich zip code or how big your political contribution is!!!”

Critics have also accused DeSantis of using the vaccine distribution plan to appeal to donors; he has raised more than $2.7 million in February alone since he began the “pop-up” clinics, the Herald reported. DeSantis has disputed those allegations, saying his office is simply prioritizing getting the vaccine to seniors.

Biden's COVID response team is scrambling to find 20 million coronavirus vaccine doses the Trump administration didn't bother tracking

But his administration has already hit a snag during its first 10 days in the White House: some 20 million COVID-19 vaccine doses are unaccounted for — the federal government has paid for and delivered them to states, but there's no record that those doses have been doled out to patients.

West Virginia and Manchin to get a boost from mine cleanups

It is so nice to see grow ups back. This is a win win win. A win for Biden because Manchin might become more of
a partner on future projects, a win for the state of W.V. because this means money and jobs, and a win for the
environment too. Now W.V. will still vote red in the short run but in the long run this is good the economy of W.V.
because a lot of its economy is based on outdoor recreation such as hunting, fishing, camping, hiking, and rafting.




West Virginia will be one of the main beneficiaries of the more than $260 million for coal mine reclamation grants announced Monday by the Interior Department, less than a week after Joe Manchin, the state's senior senator, endorsed President Joe Biden's nominee to run the department, Deb Haaland.

States such as West Virginia and Wyoming that have suffered the most from dramatic declines in coal demand will get most of that money through grants that aim to provide an economic boost to communities that long depended on the mines for their livelihood.

"The job of cleaning up our lands and waters and revitalizing our communities doesn't end with this round of grant announcements — or the next," Davis said. "We look forward to working with Congress to ensure that we can make the needed investments to clean up abandoned mines, as well as orphan oil and gas wells, across the country."

snip

"I thank President Biden for his strong support for these much-needed programs and I look forward to continuing to work closely together to ensure these hardworking communities are protected and given new economic opportunities," Manchin said.

This is one of the people that Trump "called out" @ CPAC. Rep. Anthony Gonzales



Anthony Gonzales ... 4 year starter @ Ohio State and he played in the NFL too. Rep. Gonzales voted to hold
Trump accountable for the mob that violently attacked the US Capitol on 1/6/21. I know that it will never
happen but I would love to see Trump get in his face.

Can President Biden make the cabinet picks that are being blocked "Acting Members" of his admin.?

It is just about March and some of his picks are still being held up.
The same people who voted for totally unqualified cabinet picks by
Trump are now "finding Jesus" and saying some of Joe's picks are not
up to standards.

BTW one of the reasons I think the GOP is blocking Joe's picks and ideas
is that they will be very popular and make the new diverse Democratic
Party that Joe & the K-Bomb are building a crushing force.

I think I have found true love .... I just got this email and all she needs is my credit card info

I think that it is time for us to start the new year with real love.
Now don't you believe I'm correct?
Maybe we can connect someday.
I actually born in Germany, I resided over there right up until I turned nine, and today I have a home in Ukraine.
I haven’t met a guy inside my region and desired to attempt to search on-line.
Please let me know just what area do you now live in?
It's actually amazing that using the help of the online world, we can analyze each other far better.
Now I'm thirty-two yrs, currently an adult for the really serious connection, I don't need anyone to experiment with my feelings that's no doubt.
My parents named me Leo by the way, however you are welcome to just simply call me Leo.
In case you are serious in learning me far better, then we could continue our chat.
Did you like the image of myself, that I have included in the attachment?
You truly do not have to answer back in case you didn't enjoy it.
Now i am looking to find a male who is older than me, not aggressive, delicate, and who can really look after me and deal with me proper.
I will also be glad to get your picture along with your message if you are curious.
I really hope you won't really make me delay very long and can answer shortly.
