Military Adoration!

Wednesday, April 29th, 2020

On the very day that deaths from Covid 19 in just 2 months passed the total American deaths (58,000) in nearly 2 decades from the US war in Vietnam, Trump made a show of Military Adoration.  The Blue Angels and Thunderbirds did fly overs in Washington D.C., New York and other areas on the East Coast. 

Moral of the story:  US Military spending has stolen funds that should have gone to Medicare for all.  Military adoration is a major part of the problem.

Trump: Covid 19 War Criminal

TRUMP

Covid 19 War Criminal

Many of U.S. Covid 19 deaths were preventable

Today, April 28, 2020 marks a milestone!

In just 2 months, there have been more deaths in the United States from #COVID19 than there were during the nearly 2 decades long Vietnam War. 58,365 people have now died in the US from COVID-19. A total of 58,220 Americans died during the Vietnam War.

      Like the Vietnam war, the American deaths, and the millions killed in Vietnam, Laos, Cambodia, Iraq, etc. were preventable. The war in Vietnam, like the war in Iraq, etc. was based on lies.

      Trump has repeatedly lied about Covid 19. “We have it under control… Will go away in April. We’re in great shape… Coronavirus will disappear like a miracle… Coronavirus is a Democratic hoax… People recover by going to work… Anybody can get tests, and they’re perfect… I don’t take responsibility at all… Our response is a “10”… We’ve done a fantastic job…”

                   In 2018 Trump fired the entire U.S. Pandemic response team. Trump delayed mass testing because he feared it would hurt his re-election bid.

Earth Day film — Planet of the Humans

Michael Moore presents Planet of the Humans, a documentary that dares to say what no one else will this Earth Day — that we are losing the battle to stop climate change on planet earth because we are following leaders who have taken us down the wrong road — selling out the green movement to wealthy interests and corporate America. This film is the wake-up call to the reality we are afraid to face: that in the midst of a human-caused extinction event, the environmental movement’s answer is to push for techno-fixes and band-aids. It’s too little, too late. Removed from the debate is the only thing that MIGHT save us: getting a grip on our out-of-control human presence and consumption. Why is this not THE issue? Because that would be bad for profits, bad for business. Have we environmentalists fallen for illusions, “green” illusions, that are anything but green, because we’re scared that this is the end—and we’ve pinned all our hopes on biomass, wind turbines, and electric cars? No amount of batteries are going to save us, warns director Jeff Gibbs (lifelong environmentalist and co-producer of “Fahrenheit 9/11” and “Bowling for Columbine”). This urgent, must-see movie, a full-frontal assault on our sacred cows, is guaranteed to generate anger, debate, and, hopefully, a willingness to see our survival in a new way—before it’s too late.

Trump Covidiots — White Supremacists

‘Jesus is my vaccine’: Hundreds of protesters gather

without protective gear in Pennsylvania

(I didn’t think people from Pennsylvania were that dumb)

and then there is Kentucky

“Astonishingly, according to the Louisville Courier-Journal, visitors to the capitol building are banned from entering with umbrellas or sticks that are used for protest signs because they can be “used as weapons,” but guns and rifles are permitted.” SR

All whites carrying guns to be sure!
