Independent Thinker,
Please independent think this.
When republican Scott Brown was fighting for what the power brokers and press had positioned as “Ted Kennedy’s seat” in Massachusetts, he ran specifically on blocking universal health care.
I drove elderly shut-ins through an ice and rain storm in Boston all day to get them to the polls. And celebrated in a ballroom at the victory party with Doug Flutie that night, local and state power brokers were blown away that the grass roots had actually managed blocking a dem supporting Obamacare out of that seat.
Didn’t matter. Pelosi and others rammed it through. Had to vote on the bill to know what’s in it.
Flash forward. When people ask me, “How could you possibly vote for Biden?” my answer is the following:
Right now it’s the threat of socialism (Biden) versus the guarantee of fascism (Trump).
And that I will help vote Biden in and then immediately start fighting whatever socialism springs up. Because at this rate, Trump’s fascism–along with the Republican leadership that is abetting him–is killing us much faster.
In Portland, right now, there are non trained bands of absolute goon squads terrorizing protest lines of the following: moms, dads, and vets.
These are mercenary bands that Trump has thrown together who have nothing to do with our military.
**Our US military is not involved.
The people he has thrown together are the worst cast offs from every agency that has deemed them unfit. Border patrol, INS, child services–hell, there are TSA agents they recruited.
Anybody in the military who is trained in special services takes one glance at what’s happening there and those fools have no idea what they are doing. Except operating under a blanket order to kidnap people on no charges in unmarked cars.
So what hope do we have left?
A wall of moms. With a wall of orange shirt dads who showed up to blow the tear gas back with leafblowers. And, now, a wall of vets on the outer echelon who are hell bent not to let this illegal takeover of American cities happened.
What was the result? Some of these mercenaries that were given money to purchase their Halloween costumes fled one night, and then showed up the next with leaf blowers in their hands.
I’m trying to figure out a way to close this post. Really, there are no words.
REGARDING:
“Crazy to see people actually blaming Trump for the COVID19.”
Not the existence of the disease but his response to it. People warned him repeatedly we needed supplies and isolation and instructions regarding how to avoid the spread.
He ignored those warnings and instructed others to ignore them. He told the American people it was a HOAX and not to bother with taking measures against it. When he supposedly banned travel from China, he only banned Chinese citizens, not those who had been to China. When he banned travel from Europe, he excepted the United Kingdom, so people just flew in from London.
Not that it mattered because over a month had passed since the first warning and he had already allowed the infection in. That just made it worse quicker.
He kept calling it The Flu or Kung Flu or the China Virus to distract from the fact that it is bad and is not in China; it’s here. He told people his gut told him ineffective drugs would affect it — they didn’t.
He said publicly he wouldn’t send supplies to states whose governors didn’t praise him.He silenced infectious disease experts because they disagreed with him.
He insisted on large gatherings so people could come together to praise him but insisted they sign waivers for when they contracted the virus at those rallies and suffered for months or died — which some are or did.
Through his actions and words, he shows who he cares about and it isn’t you. Nor will he get better. He will continue to abuse and misuse his power as long as he has it.
David for opened eyes
We all know how the virus came to our nation. My problem is how it was handled. Everything we had should have been activated to fight this virus. I have a nurse friend and they are still short on supplies. This did not have to be like this.
@ Governor. Parents have three options. Most parents have to work and I’m so glad we can make our own choices. I never want to live under a dictator!
Im not a fan of trump…but I’m against open borders, against abortion, against higher taxes. Why would I dare vote for biden and the democrats who stand against all i believe in. Biden is just a puppet, but he’s not even bright enough to realize it or he doesn’twant to admit dementia has hit home. This virus is going to spread no matter who is president or governor. Maybe we would have been better off with the alcoholic drug abusing Andrew gillium and his male escorts.
>> All I can say is 189 +20+2+2= 213 So how did they come up with 223?
Some new cases have locations listed a day or so after they are listed. Others are classified as “missing” location data.
Crazy to see people actually blaming Trump for the COVID19. CNN and main stream media have yall brainwashed LOL I have beachfront property in Kentucky to sell you
.
All I can say is 189 +20+2+2= 213
So how did they come up with 223?
I am ashamed to say I voted for both of them. I can promise you I will not vote for either of them again. I agree, this hate is tearing out country apart. It is time to be as one again. There is no discrimination in heaven.
Green rocket: he’s nobody’s president.
He’s a megalomaniac, homicidal, lunatic hurtling this country into fascism and propelling us closer to civil war every day. Which is working quite nicely towards his end goal of becoming dictator of the United States of America.
Don’t blame others. Take responsibility for your life. Pay attention like your life dependeds on it… Try helping others if you can.
@Victoria. People cannot stay home forever. And criticism over the governor not doing another stay at home order is ridiculous because it’s up to your local authorities to enforce a mask and stay at home order. There is a reason that we have federal, state and local government.
Trump is not the cause or problem of this epidemic…. If the citizens of this country would back him as we backed George Bush after 9-11
How great would we be….
@Green rocket – Desantis is one of the reasons we are in this situation now. If he had listened to health experts, not the WH, we wouldn’t continue to have such high numbers. We are watching an exercise in how NOT to lead.
Please don’t take a chance.When in schools one brings fevers,colds,lice any disease.It always spreads .With some having no symptoms for some COVID-19 children or Adults.The others get it and brings it home.We need our Dads and Moms and siblings to be healthy to provide for families.When they weren’t mixing on beaches and stores our Children were safe at home.PLEASE keep them safe.God gives wisdom if people would listen.
He is your president also. Florida has one of the best governors. School openings have already been delayed.
I agree with you about school .We also need some real leadership Trump and Desantis is a joke .It’s time to take action and take care of your people and our country .Pray for God to keep us all safe and give us the strength to get through this
Governor, your President now says some might need to delay school openings. Will you listen now or put our kids in danger? Florida needs some leadership.
