BLOOMBERG THANKS SAMOA.
Bloomberg, in gratitude to Samoa, has announced he will buy it and make it the centrepiece of his financial and personal empire. He stopped short of announcing that he, personally, would move to Samoa but he did say that at least half of his Cabinet would be Samoans.

Mario Cuomo "A Tale of Two Cities" Speech
Mario Cuomo gave this keynote address at the Democratic National Convention in 1984. I was living in NYC at the time and was a fan Cuomo. Despite the roar of applause, most Americans weren't interested in what Mario had to say. The "Masters of the Universe" were in charge telling us to be patient because "trickle-down effect" would soon be in action. <snort>
This is what's on my mind this morning. |

Partisan outrage erupts in the Senate as coronavirus stimulus bill fails for a second time..
~~~
It's about time these dems and reps put their dicks back in their pants and stop having these pissing contests at the American workers expense! |

And from the Republican's Delicate Genius Susan Collins..
Sen. Susan Collins, R-Maine,
"We are in the midst of a crisis in our country, a crisis caused by the coronavirus. I cannot believe that the answer to this crisis as we move to address the economic consequences that are so severe for the people of this country — that the answer from our friends on the other side of the aisle is delay, delay, delay. No sense of urgency, no hurry." REALLY Susan really!!!! |

Thank you so much for finding this video of Mario Cuomo's speech from years ago. I was watching Andrew Cuomo's co-vid 19 briefings via YouTube and a couple days back, a news reporter referenced Mario Cuomo while asking the Governor of New York some vital questions about the on-going status of the crisis NYC and NY state is dealing with daily. I sure do Appreciate you posting this video. Thanks.

Seems that Dan Patrick, a good Christian, small business owner and Lt Gov of Texas worth 25 million$ ( well, who knows) thinks old people and the vulnerable should be thrown onto a sacrificial funeral pyre to save him and the economy that provided him with 25 Million $.
Dan, Dan...want to contribute to the well-being of America? Buy 25 Million $ worth of ventilators and masks with your hefty nest-egg and send them to a hospital in Texas. And then send your kids to the basement to start sewing protective wear for health-care workers/. AND THEN YOU CAN PONTIFICATE ABOUT WHO IS WORTH SAVING>>>YOU PIECE OF EUGENIC SHIT>

I've got steam coming out of both ears no pun intended!
~~
Well it's politics as usually, why am I surprised!? I educated myself recently on "earmarks" and it was quite a education! Dems & Reps are equally guilty of this tactic. I couldn't find a listing of all the earmarks both parties are trying to slip into this stimulus bill, but the ones I did come across made my blood boil! They had NOTHING whatsoever to do with additional ways in which to help workers so severally affected by this economy. |

Buddhist monks set themselves on fire to show the depth of their beliefs. This prick has zero credibility. Hand him some matches and we'll see how serious he is. F...ing demagogue.

So I had to go to Wal-Mart today because our parrots think they need to eat and believe me they think loudly. The store was pretty empty and decimated of product although I did score the parrot happy meals. While being the designated parrot shopper, I couldn't help but notice THE most elderly customers (seriously)I have ever seen shopping there and we go there ALOT to buy product for the store. I would really hate to think they have bought into this philosophy of supporting the economy, even if they have to die for it.

Politics
Our Prime Ministers wife got the virus and now Prince Charles has the virus. Apparently money and power can't stop this baby.

Lots of seniors simply don't have smart phones, know how to order online, understand "apps" etc. Or just have NO ONE TO HELP THEM or know how to find someone.

i like the Governor of NY...i think he's an Independant?...He's very conservative and obviously argumentative..but that doesn't bother me because he's honest...just gives it to you cold..i respect that even though i may not like what you're telling me..if only he were President, i'd feel a lot more confident things will eventually get better...

Not only that, but when it comes down to who lives and who dies, as it has in Italy and Spain, it is the wealthy who will get the ventilator. And even more importantly, money has allowed the wealthy to be better prepared healthwise having had the income to afford good healthcare throughout their lives. They never had to choose between feeding their family or filling their asthma medication. People in lower economic classes are more likely to catch the disease and also more likely to die from it because of health issues. Also the wealthy have the privilege of being better able to isolate successfully, something that is not always easily done for some. And even those in lower economic classes who remain healthy are going to have to deal with the devastating effects of a loss of income and/or healthcare/insurance to a degree that the wealthy will not.
