It has been 100 years and we are still having the same hope. Lets hope this will be the year of decency and civility, reasonable discourse and understanding of reality. What is normal but wanting to live happy and well, wishing the best for others as we hope they are wishing for us. With malice for none but good will toward all. Scottie
Increase the minimum wage. Respect labor. End poverty.
Republicans have perfected performative politics for the deplorables.
DeSantis is the opposite of leadership, totally derelict of his duty.

Below is a group of tweets and the screen captures are an insight in how some businesses treat workers. Scottie
The above tweet thread is important to read and click through. It shows how companies feel about workers, even workers they claim to need and value. As soon as you want something it is too much, but they can demand anything and everything from you. In this case it fails spectacularly. Scottie

I think they are going to try. I really believe that the Republicans have given up on democracy. They don’t want it. They want power, they want to rule. Yes they will have a fake sort of democracy like China, Russia, and other authoritarian nations that have sham elections of either one party or set up so only one party can win. That is what Putin does, he jails or kills his opponents and wins almost all the votes. Think of what the Republicans have done this last year with changing election supervisors and laws, all designed so they can change any vote they disagree with. Our democracy hangs by a thread, we should be worried. Scottie

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

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. Scottie
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.
https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC7371592/
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.

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

God forbid we give 3% less to the military and save humankind.
Capitalism is a greedy death spiral.
We need to remove capitalism and capitalist goals from government and government policy.
FOX is not news, they are not journalists. They are propagandists for predetermined narratives.
Instead of admitting they backed a loser, conservatives make losers the hill they die on.
Patriarchy wants submission.
Capitalism is going to kill us all.
Far too many people / groups are desperate to get another military action going. How can they justify ever increasing defense budget and killing anything that helps the public if there is no fighting? Scottie

I wish this was true, the public might get its needs met. No the ones that control the media, all the media, is corporations. Very large companies that have merged and leveraged all the media in the US. That is why main stream media always sides with ideas that promote wealth going to the upper income class and keeps the government from serving the public. Scottie
It is normal to work on bring back up bills that fail if the party in charge wants them. What the right can not seem to accept is that other people have their ideas and wants also, and those people, who out number the negative right, want the items in the bill. The big money doesn’t want the people to have what is in the bill, and so the corporate media pays right wing cartoonist to make cartoons that insult and belittle the BBB bill. Scottie
Doesn’t work that way when they run out of hurricane names. The just start a new list. Scottie
Another in a series of throwing out any RW trope, hoping it would stick. Say no to masks and vaccines and then blame Joe for the ongoing pandemic. What an insightful plan… for those who chose to be blind. Scottie
The right wing media keeps repeating a lie knowing their viewers will never check to see it is a lie. Nothing has changed at the border, the US has not been invaded, the hoards of brown people have not taken over the Southern US locking up all the white people. Scottie
For the last eighty years Republican administrations have been behind most American sponsored regime changes across the globe with disastrous consequences. It figures they are finally turning their attention to the United States. US armed services are so well funded that they have to HUNT AROUND for things to do with all that largess. Scottie
For something that is like a cold it sure is putting a hell of a lot of people in hospitals who are very ill and dying. I know the maga refuse to look around the US and in their minds the US is the best country but someone should clue them in the rest of the world is dealing with this also. Is their Covid actions Biden’s fault also? Scottie

This is what the right wants, for their viewers to never question the BS they are pushing. Scottie
Really? Has this cartoonist been in a cave for the last century? Biden has been in government all his adult life. He has been a right leaning corporate Democrat the entire time. Yes in office he has moved more to the center left, but he is no progressive much less a socialist. What does that word mean in the US today, because the way the right has used it and gotten it in to the modern culture it doesn’t mean what it use to mean, a system of governing where the workers control the production and distributions of all goods and services. That is what scared the wealthy about socialist countries, but they don’t really exist anymore. Socialism now means using government to help the people by protecting them from abuses of the wealthy and large business / corporations. Again the right is against that, because it lowers profits when the workers can not be abused the public has rights. Scottie
No one is preventing anyone from having an opinion, or voicing it. But you kinda need to defend that opinion with something more substantial than your “feelings”. Man, the right wing are such whiny snowflakes. This obsession with Fauci is weird. Scottie
I think it is important to understand that the Biden term has seen three new variants so you have four viruses doing the killing work. I love how the right tells people to refuse the vaccines, then screams that Biden is at fault for people not being vaccinated. Get real. This is a case of the guy who started the fire blaming the fire department for things being burnt. Scottie
What a pack of lies Goodwyn jams into a single cartoon. The U.S. has never been “energy independent”; our refineries need foreign crude to produce the specific petrochemicals we need. Not all crude oil is the same, any more than all animal meat is the same. We need Saudi-grade crude to refine gasoline (these days, though, our main source of imported crude is Canada. We’re a net exporter of petroproducts, but that doesn’t make us “energy independen t.” Any more than a dairy farmer with a profitable operation is “food independent” because he sells more food than he buys.
The U.S. crime rate has gone up slightly this year. As happens every year, there are a few places with unusually large spikes. But violent crime fell sharply under Clinton (more than a tnird), declined more slowly under Bush (almost 20%), was relatively flat under Obama, and had a low-end notice under Trump.
And Biden makes less than 1% of the false statements that Trump did. If Biden’s a long-nosedPinocchio, trump’s proboscis would reach the moon. And Goodwyn’s would reach the top of Trump Tower.
But repugs are real quick with the “hold up a minute” when it comes to trump facing consequences for anything he does.
And this is in the media now because after the Biden’s were gracious with he and his kids some dimwitted, obnoxious little prick thought he was clever for saying it and hanging up. Now he’s rightfully getting dragged and whining like the little bitch he is. Of course he and his father’s business had no problem taking Joe’s handouts … think they’ll stand with their convictions and give it back? Scottie

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.
