(23,147 posts)We were supposed to be in DC right now seeing the cherry blossoms up close and personal. Damn fucking profiteering drumpf who ensured that the virus would be spread all over by insisting on only using the tiny tech. co. in which he's part owner to produce the tests up until early this month! That's why there's such a shortage and why we are now the #3 sickest country and will probably be #1 within 1-2 weeks. He did this on purpose for profits, to destroy the economy, and so rw could do their planned take over, topple the economy then give everything to them. Then when that causes devastation, soon as they steal the election, to "save the country" he will stop SS, Medicare, Medicaid, public schools, and all labor laws, including OT, 40 hour work week and eventually even child labor. That is what the Senate is trying to start right now and Dems need to say no. Don't care what drumpf says, and he will be witheringly hateful about it accusing Dems or killing the country & economy - but don't go for it. protect our workers and our money and stand up against the big theft they are trying to implement starting right now.

(28,942 posts)They will come again, the leaf and the flower, to rise
From squalor of rottenness into the old splendour,
And magical scents to a wondering memory bring;
The same glory, to shine upon different eyes.
Earth cares for her own ruins, naught for ours.
Nothing is certain, only the certain spring.
