Unfortunately the big money corporate donors like the status quo. Why not they always win, and the people always lose. The government works for the wealthy only, government is to serve the wealthy. The people, the lower incomes don’t matter at all. So they have tried to hamper any voting changes that would strengthen the voting power of the people because if the people had their full voting strength then they might raises taxes on the wealthy. The big money donors want the Republicans in charge because they are able to control them fully. Scottie
The US and the rest of the world have to understand that China took over Hong Kong. They were going to get it back anyway, but the idea that the wealthy financial center was not under their complete control and advocated for more civil rights with a Democratic government is something that the Chinese government could not tolerate. The problem is they got away with it in Hong Kong and now they want to do it to Taiwan. The US claims they would defend Taiwan, but Biden already said no troops. No troops means no defense. Scottie

Misleading right wing media cartoons / memes
Trying to win the next election instead of protecting the people is what the right wing is doing. Instead of joining with the administration to get people vaccinated and to promote safe practices like mask wearing, the right fights to block and stall all these attempts so they can claim Biden has failed.

The ones getting rich are the ones doing the price gouging. The price of oil is world wide and has fallen. The price of gas in the US has come down. Anyone who thinks that the US being a net exporter of oil means the US is energy independent is misinformed at least and more likely an idiot. Scottie
What good is a privately developed and funded vaccine that Trump claimed credit for if none of his death cult members are brave enough to take it? Not much more use than the tests, which Trump death cultists will refuse too. When the 46th administration took over, they discovered that the previous one had ABSOLUTELY NO PLAN FOR VACCINE ROLLOUT. NONE. ZIP. ZERO.
Shocking and appalling, yet hardly surprising from the camp that wanted to “let them get infected” and “slow down the testing”. “Operation Warp Speed” was a name given to a project that drug companies were working on since 2003. They just modified what they had a bit to address the current strain.

The first vaccine out of the gate wasn’t even part of OWS. In fact, it was primarily developed in Germany with funding from the German government. See “Biontech”. The Last Occupant did what he does best, slap a name on something and claim it as his own. he certainly has no plan to distribute the vaccine. Then Stupid Henry Payne blames Biden because MAGAts refuse to get vaccinated and get sick. Scottie
No plan? By the way, the best way to avoid getting COVID is to get the vaccine. Something right wingers are against but still want to scapegoat President Biden for not doing enough.
President Biden To Announce New Covid Plan, Free Home Tests
The administration is readying 1,000 military medical professionals to help at overburdened hospitals.
By Susie Madrak — December 21, 2021
President Joe Biden will address the nation today on how his administration plans to confront the massive surge in coronavirus cases, including readying 1,000 military medical professionals to help at overburdened hospitals, setting up new federal testing sites, deploying hundreds of federal vaccinators and buying 500 million rapid tests to distribute free to the public. Via the New York Times:
The measures, outlined to reporters Monday night by two senior administration officials who spoke on condition of anonymity, come as coronavirus caseloads are rapidly rising around the country, particularly in the Northeast, fueled by the highly infectious new Omicron variant — just as Americans prepare to gather for Christmas.
The 500 million tests that the administration intends to purchase will not be available until January, the senior officials said, adding that the government intends to create a website where people can request that tests be sent to their homes, free of charge. It was not immediately clear where the tests would come from.
The plan for new federal testing sites will debut in New York City, where several new sites will be running before Christmas. And Mr. Biden intends to invoke the Defense Production Act, officials said, to accelerate production of tests. Scottie
No way; the job of the States’ governments is to keep the virus alive and flourishing, just to spite Biden. Why would they shut it down? The states can make mask and vaccination mandates that the Federal government cannot. Red states screamed when the federal government told them how to get rid of the virus. With state government put in charge, it’s going to be a circus. The red states were working against Biden to solve the virus problem so they could blame Biden for the failure, by putting it back on them and offering to provide them resources, when they fail it wont be Biden’s fault but their own.

And now some for fun
We have this issue at home. Ron’s recliner was taken by Odie. Odie refused to leave the chair when asked by Ron. About four feet away was Odie’s chair in front of the window. I started sliding Odie’s chair over to Ron’s recliner and Odie would move to his chair, get pets, and then I would slide Odie’s chair back in front of the window and give him more attention. Turns out Odie loves this game. He wouldn’t move out of the recliner unless the game was played. Ron had to give in and learn to play the slide chair game to get his chair back. Scottie
