Here's the opposite of stoic.   Russian  Ambassador Lavrov.

There, that shows folks what I think of  "Russia,Russia, Russia" stuff. There's a lot of bipartisan gas lighting going on here. I choose to ignore it because I don't give a flying fuck what Russia is doing. Of course they interfere in our stuff, just like we interfere in there stuff. That's normal interstate competition.
So feel free to do a compare and contrast of Lavrov vs. Pompeo.

Fighting for loaves of bread.  Guess what? That's already happening.



PS.

The stuff going on is nothing new.  I've been there before.





Like, I got the Hong Kong Flu.  Covid is way worse than that. Same song, different verse. I grew up with this stuff, man ,,, in Oklahoma.



   


Fighting for bread.  That's going on right now. It's obvious the Republicans offer nothing, except find some non existent job.

Here's the deal. 40 years of Republican  tinkle down economics is all wet. Doing the same thing over and over again is a definition of insanity.  Remember when Reagan said , "are you better off now than 4 years ago?   I have a newer update.  "Are you better off now than you were 40 years ago?   I answer in the negative.

What is the definition of "American" ?  Anyone that's a citizen is an American to me.  Regardless of socioeconomic class, color, creed, etc.  It's none of my business if someone is homosexual, trans, different color, liberal , conservative,  etc. I have too many other problems to fuss over stuff like that.  


I'm thinking like a Democrat because for one thing, the utter lack of a public healthcare system left the US wide open to what's going on right now wrt Corona virus. That is why the US is a banana republic. The US is right up there with Latin America with chaos. When I was a kid, and the US had a public healthcare system, I remember getting in line for shots at school, which were provided by the county health department.  This can't happen with coordination at the national level.  The economy sucked in the 70's , but the safety net and other public services were working well.  Now, everything's shit, shit, nothing works, all is corrupt, because of legal bribery sanctioned by Citizen's United.  The before Republican policy and after Republican policy leaves no doubt.  I'm done, done with Republicans.  They have failed, utterly.  I have nothing else to say.  Fuck Republicans and the horse they rode in on.


You said "there is a crises".. You got that right.  The evil axis of Neoliberalism/Neoconservatism is the author of this mess.  Republicans are all in on that axis. The Democrats, especially the younger ones, not so much.  Like AOC nailed. "It's all about the Benjamins".   That ought to be our national motto, man.

I know that's already happening and its only going to get worse with a zombie President, the Democrats stalling recovery and waiting for COVID19 to go away. You're right, the densely populated blues states were completely unprepared to face a deadly pandemic. I don't judge Trump by his tweets and I hardly pay any attention to his tweets these days. If you view Neo Liberalism/ Neo Conservatism as the axis of evil today then why would you vote for the politician/zombie who has gotten rich by being in bed/ double dealing with both of them. I remember getting shots back in school too. I remember getting my polio and swine flue shots at school. In today's American way of thinking, does it matter where we get our kids their shots today. Today, our kids get their shots outside of school vs in school like the old days. We might see that happen again with COVID19 since it's new and all. I think the polio vaccinations ended with our group. I suppose we could thank science and FDR for pretty much ending that particular disease over the coarse of a few generation. I'm not invested in China, the European Union, the globalist  economy or the United Nations. I'm pretty much invested in the American economy or American private sector. I thought Omar said something about "It's all about the Benjamin's". She's right, It's all about the Benjamin's to her, her supporters, to me, to everyone on the American right and most on the American left these days.
