F-U-C-K-I-N-G B-A-S-T-A-R-D!!!

It reminds me that the republi-CONS always hate taxes. The first thing they try to do when they get back in power is cut taxes. Because THEY are the original, and quintessential free-stuff crowd. They want the goodies and the services but don't want to have to pay for it.

So okay, then.

No more government services for you, GOP. Maybe we should force your representatives to work for free. Don't expect your food to be safe, because we won't pay for the food inspectors and package safety certifications anymore. Don't want no gumnnt? Ya takes ya chances. No police or fire protection. Since you aren't paying any taxes, fund your own home protection then! Don't expect to call the cops if you have a prowler. Or the fire department if your house catches fire. Or if you have a heart attack, get yer own ass to the hospital. There won't be any first responders racing to your house with lights and sirens blaring to save you.

If I were running things...

Slight revision...

I went back and looked - the worldwide number are problematic this morning. Both confirmed cases and death stats are off. So I'm gonna delete the worldwide data until things look normalized.

At 6:02am
Confirmed cases US - 1,167,241
Deaths - 68,076

At 7:02pm
Confirmed cases US - 1,168,063
Deaths US - 68,100

At 10:02am
Confirmed cases US - 1,170,620
Deaths US - 68,365


At 10:34am
Confirmed cases US - 1,170,795
Deaths US - 68,386


At 11:02am
Confirmed cases US - 1,174,373
Deaths US - 68,481

At 11:05am
Confirmed cases US – 1,174,934
Deaths US – 68,533


Since I'm still seeing inconsistencies I'm gonna stick to the US numbers. The worldwide numbers aren't tracking logically. Kinda hard to believe there are X-amount of deaths one hour and then fewer deaths an hour or so later!

K&R!

They damn well better NOT take their ball and go home, dammit!

How'd that work out last time, 'eh?

As a member of Indivisible, I'm very happy to see this. Solidarity and Unity are our two best friends. And we'll need them both if we're gonna take down trump.

It certainly is!

Yep. THIS.

Cold comfort having Pence step in and try to force a theocracy down our throats.

Just saw a headline flash by: "Mourning in America." Spelling correct, rather pointed, and tragic. And HORRIFYING. This ain't no reality show. This is plain ol' harsh REALITY - kicking us in the teeth.

THANK YOU.

Welcome to DU, Pause.

And repeat the messaging. Repeat repeat repeat. Because it's necessary.
