Headline: “This is Such Chaos” — a reference to the stimulus payment rollout. Remember back when Republicans were ridiculing snafus in the Affordable Care Act website? Put it in the “What goes around comes around” file drawer.
Trump wants governors “to call the shots” concerning social distancing, stay at home orders, and other measures meant to help control the spread of the Covid-19 virus, but already he’s supporting and even encouraging protests against these restrictions. Trump is never happy unless he’s creating conflict and controversy. But now he’s playing with people’s lives.
Imagine that, Dopey Donnie and his bunch have no idea where all that money for small businesses went. Who could possibly have seen this coming?
Who is behind the shutdown protests in Michigan and other states? Conservative, pro-Trump political action groups like Women for Trump. Michigan Trump Republicans, and other conservative groups who are using the current situation to advance their agendas. Being die-hard Trump loyalists, they seize every opportunity to further their cause and that of their idol, Donald Trump. If any of the protestors contract COVID-19, they should contact Trump or KellyAnne Conway for medical advice, instead of burdening their local medical care system.
Not even one percent of Americans have been tested for the COVID-19 virus, and yet at every briefing, Trump continues to tell the lie that we have done “more testing than anyone else in the world.” Why he thinks he can say this in the face of overwhelming evidence that it’s a lie, and why his base of ignoramuses believe him — these are mysteries for the ages.
Why exactly do we need a roundabout on 109th when they added a turning lane and a stoplight and it worked out just fine. Now we have to detour traffic for 5 months. We will have to do it again when they do Iowa Street. This traffic shutdown does not make sense when a turning lane was all that was needed.
Trump is asking the people to revolt against the state governments. He is not allowing the Democrats to pay a Hero Fund to essential workers. He is giving most of the money to big business. And yet people still don’t get it that he is a fraud trying to better his friends and not the American people. He is not a King but a wannabe dictator.
Would you believe that the Texas attorney general has threatened to criminally prosecute voters who use fear of contracting COVID-19 as an excuse for requesting an absentee ballot? Of course you’d believe it. He’s a Republican. And under indictment, incidentally, for securities fraud.
So, all you Trump-hating Democrats, I am absolutely sure that you were perfectly OK with the Wicked Witch of the West, Nancy Pelosi, throwing her wealth in your face with her $12 a pint ice cream and two $12,000 refrigerators. Of course, you sheeple are because the Democrats are down with the working man’s struggles.
I wonder how many of those people in the top 1 or 2% that got all of those tax breaks, have made any donations to the COVID-19 relief fund? Hollywood actors, musicians and athletes are donating millions, even though the GOP ridicules them constantly.
I bet Oprah Winfrey is kicking herself because she unleashed people like Dr. Phil and Dr. Oz on the world.
Scientists and doctors are saying stay home, isolatE and socially distance yourselves. However, this is damaging the economy, so the GOP want to reopen. Anyone that is willing to put money before human lives is nothing but a madman.
Whoever destroys a soul, it is considered as if he destroyed an entire world. And whoever saves a life, it is considered as if he saved an entire world.
How to be a Trump Christian: Follow only the parts of the Bible you like. Ignore the 10 Commandments you don’t like. Refuse to care for the less fortunate. Spread fear and hate of Muslims. Be fine with kids getting shot in schools. Be fine with kids living in cages. Approve of adultery. Approve of racism. Worship money.
