They are a living, breathing, horror show of a death panel



The next six months are going to be the most deadly in living history for America. The danger, to America, of these far right enablers of the Nazi in Chief, being the Council to Re-Open America, is profound. Couple of things spring to mind. Firstly the utter lack of applied expertise is terrifying in it own right, but equally as terrifying is that even while demonstrating utter incompetence on a daily basis, they will all hold the steadfast belief that they are the very best people to get America out of the public health and economic crisis that America is living through right now. Secondly, you cannot follow the science if you are not speaking to the scientists, so one must infer that the only purpose of this 'council' is to force the reopening of the economy even while the pandemic rages uncontrolled across the South which will inevitably lead to further rises in infection rates and death toll. A death panel with no expertise in charge of re-opening America. A deadly six months indeed.

Ginsberg has liver cancer and the whole world sucks

87 years old and undergoing chemo in a country that is a petri dish for covid. She says 'I have often said I would remain a member of the court as long as I can do the job full steam. I remain fully able to do that.' Hurrah! But, we all need prayers or good thoughts - whatever floats your boat. Cause Ginsberg and SCOTUS.

Nothing they do says protecting life. They can never be allowed to claim pro life as a moral mantle

of complete and utter lying bollocks EVER again.



Just all of this and then on top of it - every time, in the future they try to claim to be the party of pro life, they need to be reminded of what they did during Covid-19. Don't wear masks, get the kids back to school, stop financial aid to the unemployed, open up the economy, don't provide effective PPE for healthcare workers etc et al. ALL of it is anti-life. ALL of it has led to humongous amount of unnecessary infections and deaths from the virus and excess deaths in the tens of thousands- hell the far right wing hellscape of Florida has more recorded infections a day than the whole of Europe... Pro life my lily white Irish arse.

So, the secret police have been deployed now

Just sweeping in and bundling people away seems like something a dictatorship would do. They really are not pretending anymore. The power kick Twitler gets from being overtly fascist is too much for him not to do. Of course, as he is an incompetent horror show with his sidelick Barr matching him in being a disgusting, democracy killing human being, the secret police will end up being as big a fuck up as anything else these greasy far right nasty touch. Just another way that this administration is undermining America, not just at home but abroad. I mean seriously, when your secret security forces bundles people into the back of vans, that is kidnap, it is not following due process, so good luck America in ever trying to call out human rights abuses anywhere else, for the foreseeable future.


In Trumps head - secret police be like get them libs...

Trump is Schlafly's wet dream of a President. BTW if you have not checked out Mrs America yet YOU NEED TO!!! Caps shouting to emphasis how brilliant it is! It would be a cautionary tale, but it is too late for that! Heh.
