Let's Remind ALL Republican Senators and Congress People

We need to retweet every idiotic, assinine tweet from Trump to EVERY Republican Senator and Congressional Person...just to remind them what they voted for - in case they forgot or may ever claim they didn't know.

A few hundred thousand simple reminders for every Trump Tweet for them to know who and what they support.

Pre Pandemic exercise by Trump admin Last year? NYT

This is curious and if true probably will start some truthers conspiracy theories that the Coronavirus was really a 2019 911 setup!
Administrations supposedly do these and other kinds of "exercises" or "simulations" all the time.
Interesting read one way or the other.

Pandemic Exercise - Last January thru August 2019

NO Hospital Ships are moving! He lied! Again!

In an article from balloon-juice.com:

He's lying to us again and it looks as though the media hasn't even bothered to check.

Remember Soviet and Russian waiting lines?

For those too young to remember the news footage in the 80s and 90s of the Russians waiting in lines for everything from Blue Jeans to Food, it appears it's now our turn thanks basically to us having the same piss poor leadership the Soviets had then. The only difference is the incompetent Soviet/Russian leaders did this to their people for over 70 years. Give Trump a little more time and he'll make those Russian Lines look short.

Check out on Youtube and search engines some videos (and photos) of the lines where the Russian People waited for hours or days for food and or clothing.

It'll help pass your "Quarantine Time" and show you how good we had it until this piece of shit called the Trump Administration took over power.

Just something else not taught in our schools any longer.

Don't forget to thank Trump and ALL his friends in November by voting Straight Democratic.

Things to do while (self) quarantined from the Virus...

Now that you've settled in with enough cases of Toilet Paper (and hopefully enough food so you can use all of it), gallons of Hand Sanitizer you can leave to your kids, those masks you got from the guy on the street corner selling fake Rolexes, 20 or so boxes of Kleenex Tissues you beat the little old lady to in aisle 3 at Wally World, 2 dozen frozen Pizzas, are you:

Worried about what to do with all that free time?

Why not grab a couple (dozen) videos to watch for the next 500 hours or so from Netflix or Amazon Prime (since all sports have been canceled - Good Gawd!), some popcorn and a case or two or more of Corona to wash it down?

Here is a partial list of some pertinent movies that might make your internment feel right at home.

Outbreak
28 Days Later
28 Weeks Later
Contagion
Inferno (The book was better)
12 Monkeys
The Andromeda Strain
Quarantine
The Last Man on Earth
I Am Legend

There are probably more others might suggest.

Enjoy.

5 Trillion to Wall Street

So now we know why the delay concerning action on the virus...to give the poor rich people a big incentive to buy all the stocks they can at rock bottom prices with our money.

Thanks Rump.

Take a Billion out of petty cash for you and your crooked family.

I'm voting for a Democrat.

I wanted to vote for a Democrat named Warren but the Media and the Sphincter known as Wall Street took that away from me.

I'm voting for a Democrat. Not just for a Moderate or Progressive who may call themselves a Democrat, but right now, just a Democrat. I'm a Progressive and want change from the abysmal BS we call our government. But that choice will have to wait...again.

I don't want moderation. Moderates don't want THEIR piece of America fooled with. Are moderates just simply uninformed about politics? Will they just vote for the prettiest face, most charismatic purveyor of what they want to hear or only hear on the nightly news...only because they themselves find it too time consuming to educate themselves or address the current (or any) political situation? Are they too busy with their own lives to take some time to try to understand what will happen to their future or their children's future because they're too busy with their own lives to be concerned about others and new, quite partisan laws that will affect them poorly in what future they have left? Yeah, probably most of them with the exception of some here on DU.

Are they so worried that someone else MAY get something they don't have... especially for nothing after they think they are the only ones who have worked so hard for what they have?

I know many "moderates." They are so terrified their world, and only theirs will be turned upside down while others may get a piece of the pie easier than they. You hear it all the time. "I" paid off my student loan. Why can't others get a job and pay off their loan like "I DID?" Medicare for all will cost "ME" too much like they say in the media...without bothering to learn why that may not be so or what in the long run it will be better for all. But since someone in the media said so, it MUST be true.

Or "I" worked hard to be able to buy a home or car or send my kids for soccer or ballet lessons or save for their college. Why should someone else get that for free. "I" got mine. "I" worked for it. Let [them!] get theirs.

I'm voting for a Democrat. Not for someone who hasn't become or won't become or won't even make an excuse for not becoming a Democrat all the while denigrating other Democrats.

It's nice to want Medicare for all, free college and a chicken in every pot but when you're on a sinking ship, you just want someone who can get you to tomorrow...or next week...or next year. THEN...when that person gets you off the sinking ship, then you can worry about the future, your future.

I'm voting for a Democrat. One who will surround him (unfortunately not her) self with qualified people who want to work for the best interests of the American People...all of them not just those who feel only they had to earn things the hard way. And not those who have bad-mouthed Democrats or America or have sided with or employed those whose views would see America fail. Maybe that's why they won't call themselves a Democrat?

I'm voting for a Democrat. After three plus years of seeing Republicans surround themselves with the most unqualified, greedy, corrupt lot currently available, it's inconceivable to vote otherwise.

I'm voting for a Democrat. My original choice was a Democrat and a female at that. Yes, I want change. Yes, I want progress. But first I need to get off this ship and I think that can only be done right now with a Democrat.

I've served this country and I'll be damned if I don't do something for it and myself and every other American or anyone else who wants to become an American.

I'm voting for a Democrat.

I'm voting for Joe.
