Answered a poll on Biden v. Trump, which led me to THIS page full of BLATANT lies.

Page claims that "Since the 2020 Election, the economy went from record highs from Trump to record lows after Biden took power."

Au contraire. See next post.

usaliberty.news/2021/unitedwes… Unemployment rate, GDP, and stock market are the most common measures of economic growth/decline. Included here are 3 screenshots: The UE rates, the GDP, and Dow Jones including Dec. 2020 to now. Jan. 2021 includes the last 3 weeks of the trump presidency.

@MarcScottEmery This is so stupid. There is absolutely nothing morally or philosophically exalting about refusing to do what needs to be done to protect OTHERS from having to do the death march of COVID. Your pride is absurd. Perhaps the death of someone you love will wake you up to reality. @MarcScottEmery QUESTION: if you'd lived in London during the Blitzkreig, wd you resist the demand to maintain blacked out windows at night to prevent German bombers fm identifying the best spots to drop their bombs, flatten your home and kill your children/parents/grandparents/loved ones?➡️...

@nudog71 Ca we have a different choice? I don't much like football, don't follow it & couldn't care less who wins it. I watch one football game a year, the Rose Bowl, a tradition made long ago when I lived in CA, then changed when I went to grad school in IA.

➡️ @nudog71 Way back then it was just PAC-10 & Big 10, but the leagues have expanded. In CA I rooted for PAC-10, which back then was only ever USC or UCLA. Occasionally Berkeley. When I went to IA I rooted for the Iowa team, or if they weren't in it, whatever Big 10 team was playing.

I've no doubt OrangeMan is getting "consideration" from Putin for continuing to create chaos in this country. Between COVID & the election [I mean, really: FIVE MILLION VOTE SPREAD...GEEZZUZ!!] & other "tricks in the bag" he keeps pulling out I'm sure #Putin is delerious w/joy.➡️ @realDonaldTrump your charges on voter fraud have proven to be GROUNDLESS. By creating deeper & stronger anger within already divisive groups & issues, once again, you do traitorous disservice to this country.

It's time to move on You know this will NOT work in your favor.➡️

@RiskyLiberal Nah, it was far more complex than that.

1] Involved conservative "think tanks" strategizing taking over down ballot offices w/re-districting w/each census so that despite a state being majority D, state leg. & congressional districts controlled by R's; "owning" school boards... @RiskyLiberal ...and so much more "small time" thinking that, in aggregate=major power;

2] D's &progressives wrapped up in presidential elections thinking that all they had to do was get the right president w/the correct ideology, leaving practical politicking & long term strategizing to R's.

@TurgesonFerd @HeidiNBC Where did I claim to be a medical Dr? I have clearly stated PhD in my bio. That DOES entitle me to be called Dr as long as I do not claim to be a medical Dr. Which I never have.

You clearly presume to have medical knowledge. My knowledge comes fm 30 years of living...
[more] @TurgesonFerd @HeidiNBC ...w/an autoimmune disorder, which, as someone who reaches for a book any time I have a problem, means going to bookstores & libraries [including medical libraries] & now reads medical articles online. Indeed, as I was waiting FOUR MONTHS for my rheumatologist...

I watched Maddow from start to fin. W/ each passing minute my stomach churned faster & faster. Stuck it out to the end, but man, it terrified me. Noted:

1] trump promising all the PPE needed, but NEVER delivers, or delivers wrong [e.g., surgical masks instead of N95's].

2] trump tells states they're on their own getting PPE; price is driven up by state competition, then FEMA re-appropriates [steals], redistributing to "needier," w/no info where [probably go to private contractors who will resell at higher prices; % of sales go to trump mafia]

Pls, @GovWhitmer & @freep, investigate these tragic conditions, not only for this family but all other black families & POC. CV19 has revealed deep & widening fault lines of injustice across the board.

Of course many racist structures are at fault, not just those in medicine. Wide disparities in access to healthy living conditions, adequate access to healthy foods in food deserts, massive disparities involving unhealthy work environments w/lax OSHA surveillance & enforcement, pay inequities, inadequate health insurance & medical leave.

Capitalists see themselves as job providers.

But CV19 has shown how dependent capital is on workers. It cannot exist, it cannot grow, it cannot do much of anything w/o workers.

The $$ they sat back and watched grow without lifting a finger is shrinking bc workers aren't there. Workers provide the value off of which capital draws surplus--i.e., the profits--workers make for them. That is, the value that capitalists lift no fingers to create.

This is how capital mystifies what it does. It makes it appear capitalists are the great gifters of jobs when...

@IngrahamAngle The Swedish approach is killing & sickening more ppl than their neighbor, Norway, which jumped on it right away--how few cases they've had, how few deaths; versus hospitals about to be totally overwhelmed and a skyrocketing death rate...just like the USA.

nationalinterest.org/blog/buzz/nord… @IngrahamAngle Let me explain this to you, since you seem to be uniquely dense about numbers & reality.

INFECTION RATE INCREASES
Norway's hard nosed approach: 0.97%
Sweden's "do nothing" rate 2.47%

% OF POP INFECTED
Norway: .41%
Sweden: 3.10

That's more than SIX TIMES as of 3/28

@Social411Now Actually that question is answered tentatively.

fda.gov/food/food-safe…

Yes, we need leaders who believe in science. At the top, we have only Dr Fauci, & he has to waste loads of time stroking trump's ego to get trump to listen. However, we do have some gov's who believe... @Social411Now ...in science, and some agency heads, particularly of science oriented fields, who believe in science, and who are doing their best to get reliable information out to the public, who can then choose what to do, how to work around the "leaders" in the WH.

@BobA1959 We'd have plenty of supplies if he hadn't given ours away to China.

yahoo.com/news/trump-chi… @BobA1959 Quoting

The U.S. State Department shipped 17.8 tons of donated coronavirus medical supplies to China seven weeks ago, when health experts and some American lawmakers were already seeking federal action to prepare the country for the disease.

@BarackObama @MichelleObama

We need you both to help lead the USA in ways it is not now being led. You do not need the Oval Office to do so. All you need is a stage, a microphone, a few cameras, and streaming video. We will listen.

This is not GOP vs Dem. It's life or death.

https://twitter.com/PracticalLefty/status/1241032632978288640

This is life or death not only for individuals, but for the entire country--for some time to come--bc financial sacrifices many will have to make whether they are able to or not.

Please speak to the patriotic duty of ALL Americans [including the wealthy] to share the sacrifices.

@darylgene @JamesQueallyLAT @jaketapper Compassion for refugees in no way requires belief in "open borders." What this IS abt is honoring the tradition of our country in welcoming both immigrants and refugees, who are actually the very backbone of this country.

We ask only for compassion & humanity.

#noBabiesInCages @darylgene @JamesQueallyLAT @jaketapper The treatment being received by detainees qualifies under BOTH USA & UN law, as well as the tenets of basic human decency, not to mention CHRISTIANITY is Cruel & Unusual PUNISHMENT.

For what crime? For being on the wrong side of the border.
