Remember Soviet and Russian waiting lines?

For those too young to remember the news footage in the 80s and 90s of the Russians waiting in lines for everything from Blue Jeans to Food, it appears it's now our turn thanks basically to us having the same piss poor leadership the Soviets had then. The only difference is the incompetent Soviet/Russian leaders did this to their people for over 70 years. Give Trump a little more time and he'll make those Russian Lines look short.

Check out on Youtube and search engines some videos (and photos) of the lines where the Russian People waited for hours or days for food and or clothing.

It'll help pass your "Quarantine Time" and show you how good we had it until this piece of shit called the Trump Administration took over power.

Just something else not taught in our schools any longer.

Don't forget to thank Trump and ALL his friends in November by voting Straight Democratic.

Things to do while (self) quarantined from the Virus...

Now that you've settled in with enough cases of Toilet Paper (and hopefully enough food so you can use all of it), gallons of Hand Sanitizer you can leave to your kids, those masks you got from the guy on the street corner selling fake Rolexes, 20 or so boxes of Kleenex Tissues you beat the little old lady to in aisle 3 at Wally World, 2 dozen frozen Pizzas, are you:

Worried about what to do with all that free time?

Why not grab a couple (dozen) videos to watch for the next 500 hours or so from Netflix or Amazon Prime (since all sports have been canceled - Good Gawd!), some popcorn and a case or two or more of Corona to wash it down?

Here is a partial list of some pertinent movies that might make your internment feel right at home.

Outbreak
28 Days Later
28 Weeks Later
Contagion
Inferno (The book was better)
12 Monkeys
The Andromeda Strain
Quarantine
The Last Man on Earth
I Am Legend

There are probably more others might suggest.

Enjoy.

5 Trillion to Wall Street

So now we know why the delay concerning action on the virus...to give the poor rich people a big incentive to buy all the stocks they can at rock bottom prices with our money.

Thanks Rump.

Take a Billion out of petty cash for you and your crooked family.

I'm voting for a Democrat.

I wanted to vote for a Democrat named Warren but the Media and the Sphincter known as Wall Street took that away from me.

I'm voting for a Democrat. Not just for a Moderate or Progressive who may call themselves a Democrat, but right now, just a Democrat. I'm a Progressive and want change from the abysmal BS we call our government. But that choice will have to wait...again.

I don't want moderation. Moderates don't want THEIR piece of America fooled with. Are moderates just simply uninformed about politics? Will they just vote for the prettiest face, most charismatic purveyor of what they want to hear or only hear on the nightly news...only because they themselves find it too time consuming to educate themselves or address the current (or any) political situation? Are they too busy with their own lives to take some time to try to understand what will happen to their future or their children's future because they're too busy with their own lives to be concerned about others and new, quite partisan laws that will affect them poorly in what future they have left? Yeah, probably most of them with the exception of some here on DU.

Are they so worried that someone else MAY get something they don't have... especially for nothing after they think they are the only ones who have worked so hard for what they have?

I know many "moderates." They are so terrified their world, and only theirs will be turned upside down while others may get a piece of the pie easier than they. You hear it all the time. "I" paid off my student loan. Why can't others get a job and pay off their loan like "I DID?" Medicare for all will cost "ME" too much like they say in the media...without bothering to learn why that may not be so or what in the long run it will be better for all. But since someone in the media said so, it MUST be true.

Or "I" worked hard to be able to buy a home or car or send my kids for soccer or ballet lessons or save for their college. Why should someone else get that for free. "I" got mine. "I" worked for it. Let [them!] get theirs.

I'm voting for a Democrat. Not for someone who hasn't become or won't become or won't even make an excuse for not becoming a Democrat all the while denigrating other Democrats.

It's nice to want Medicare for all, free college and a chicken in every pot but when you're on a sinking ship, you just want someone who can get you to tomorrow...or next week...or next year. THEN...when that person gets you off the sinking ship, then you can worry about the future, your future.

I'm voting for a Democrat. One who will surround him (unfortunately not her) self with qualified people who want to work for the best interests of the American People...all of them not just those who feel only they had to earn things the hard way. And not those who have bad-mouthed Democrats or America or have sided with or employed those whose views would see America fail. Maybe that's why they won't call themselves a Democrat?

I'm voting for a Democrat. After three plus years of seeing Republicans surround themselves with the most unqualified, greedy, corrupt lot currently available, it's inconceivable to vote otherwise.

I'm voting for a Democrat. My original choice was a Democrat and a female at that. Yes, I want change. Yes, I want progress. But first I need to get off this ship and I think that can only be done right now with a Democrat.

I've served this country and I'll be damned if I don't do something for it and myself and every other American or anyone else who wants to become an American.

I'm voting for a Democrat.

I'm voting for Joe.

If the sack-less Republicans are so afraid of trump...

if they are worried that a misspoken word, an "oops" tweet or overheard questionable comment about their Furhrer could be their undoing, I gotta believe, in addition to being such sca-R-dy pusses, they must all be incredibly stupid.

If they're that worried about trump getting revenge on them for ANYTHING, their answer is simple -

FIND HIM GUILTY AND HAVE HIM REMOVED
! Get rid of the bully you're afraid of.

It's really that simple for you fraidy cats to ward off the bogey-man or the maniac clown under the bed.

Just find him guilty!
You can stop your own waking childish fears if you just get rid of him - plus you may actually save face!

I can't make this any plainer. Find him guilty and remove him from office and he can't hurt you anymore!

You will find he'll be too busy trying to defend himself from a host of legal problems to worry about you or you can close your eyes and go on over taxing the poor and middle class, caging children, deporting patriots, rewarding corruption, destroying the environment and allowing foreign dictators to kill Americans with impunity while kowtowing to his every whim. They have words or people like that.

That is...
(Unless you have something to hide that just may show why you cower so much when your leader screams!)

Didja ever wonder what's gonna happen...

to all the Republicans who suddenly decided to "retire" and their involved friends in industry and business if a Democrat is elected in 2020 and the Democrats take the Senate and keep the house after all the cash, promises and special offers Vlad has invested in trying to destroy this country didn't work? Or even to the Russian oligarchs who didn't get their jobs done?

Maybe a lot of "accidents, suicides, poisonings, bad things happening to relatives or other disappearances"?

Could be an interesting 2021!

MSM TV Headlines: October 19, 2020

(One scenario of how this all might go down.)


GOP and Liberal Media Rescue Democracy

President Trump was impeached today after being found guilty by the Senate. Republican Senators along with enough Democrats voted for impeachment saying, as the majority, they made a tough decision but in the end had to defend democracy whatever the cost.

Asked why they took so long to come to their decision, current Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell told the gathered reporters,

" We needed to make sure our Senators had all the facts and were not just on a witch hunt. We take our patriotism seriously and decided that even though President Trump was one of us, we always believed nobody is above the law. So we did the only thing that we could do, we Republicans decided to investigate the evidence completely and after many, many months of our hard, but fair, investigation, we did the hard, but right thing - the patriotic thing. We found him guilty. Today is a day to move forward and we ask all patriotic Americans to forgive but not necessarily forget the past years and look forward very soon to continue working with us for a better future for America. Thank you and God Bless America."

There you have it, Americans. The Republicans came through when they were needed. This bodes well for the upcoming elections showing our republic takes its oath seriously and does work. Back to you in the studio!

The Day After...impeachment

We've all been too worried the asshole in charge isn't going to leave office after 2020 claiming President forever.

But with everything that's happened the last week and his mind finally going, I worry more about him finally realizing (in some crazy burst of sanity) that he's being impeached, ridiculed and is a total laughing stock then deciding to board Air Force 1 and head to Moscow.

Maybe not so bad you think? Whether you know it or not, he still has the launch codes and is fully capable of executing them from anywhere including Air Force 1 as it approaches moscow. He's also capable of delaying our counter strike in case Vlad pushes the button. Are you listening Generals?


Barry Maguire said it best in 1965's Eve of Destruction":
If the button is pushed, there's no running away,
There'll be no one to save,
with the world in a grave.


Could be a long 24 hours of holding our breath after impeachment for America and the World.

Happy thoughts!
