At Biden's pandemic presser scheduled for tomorrow

I sure hope he tactfully attacks R congress people & RW media for their anti mask/vaccine rhetoric which is
keeping it alive & well. We know going into the midterms Rs will use the pandemic against us for votes.
Lets get ahead of them for a change.

Maybe he could welcome their suggestions on how this Country could mitigate it's progress. Get their suggestions
in writing/emails so we can use their stupidity against them. "Come On Man" we need to work together.

Simply shouting "Free-Dumbs" doesn't appear to be helping.

Jimmy Kimmel's show last night had "Zuck on a Truck" parody

Pretty funny, starts at the 10:50 minute mark. Red hats are not MAGA.

Open letter to ABC, CBS, NBC employees

While chasing ratings in the 2016 election you unwittingly helped Rs elect their guy. I'm sure you are aware
that today a number of lifetime loyal Rs (Bill Kristol, Michael Steele, Lincoln Project, etc) have been saying
the R party has to die or be stripped from power for our Democracy to survive. Are you listening to them and
using your critical thinking skills?

The writing on the walls is becoming clearer everyday, Rs attempted to overthrow our Government to keep their
guy in power and voted against even investigating Jan 6th. Is this the type of politicians you can honestly say
you're proud of? The ones who call you fake news?

IMHO, Rs have been slowly turning into an authoritarian Fascist group for some time now and will continue to do
so until they achieve that goal. And if they do, will they allow you to say and write what you believe, or will they
give you only the proper propaganda to broadcast and kill those among you who refuse to comply?

If Rs regain control of one house in the midterms, we'll see BBB diminished to where it'll never achieve it's goal
of putting America back as having one of the highest standards of living in this world.

Not saying you need to quit your both sides-ism to look unbiased but you could give The Lincoln Project a reduced
advertising rate, you can remind people Dec 13th that the (planned) book burning in Fredericksburg VA remind you
of Nazi Germany. Lots of little things you could do.

So you want to save Democracy for your grandchildren, or you want Rs back in charge to get another big
tax cut? Who said the love of money is the root of all EVIL?

Anyone have something to add?

I recorded Tucker Carlson's program last night on FQX noise

For one reason only, to see what he had to say about the Ahmaud Arbery verdict yesterday. Fast forwarded
through most of it, not one word about the Ahmaud Arbery verdict and he had kyle rottenmouse on most
of his program claiming kyle was the victim. Small wonder FQX viewers are brainwashed idiots.

'Secret Sister' gift exchange is illegal pyramid scheme

The “Secret Sister” gift exchange campaign quickly became popular several years ago through Facebook posts
promising participants would receive up to 36 gifts, in exchange for sending one gift. Each holiday season, the
scheme pops back up. A newer version of this scam revolves around exchanging bottles of wine; another
suggests purchasing $10 gifts online. You might see references to receiving "happy mail" or doing the exchange
"for the good of the sisterhood." During the 2021 holiday season, be aware of variations of this theme that may
crop up on social media.
The scheme starts with a convincing invitation, either by email or social media to sign up for what seems like a
great, fun program. All you must do is provide your name and address and personal information of a few
additional friends, and tack this information on to a list that’s already started of people you’ve never met on the
internet. Next, it’s your turn to send an email or social media invitation to send a modest gift or bottle of wine to
a stranger along with their friends, family and contacts.

Since it's popular on Facebook, wonder what they are doing about scammers?

Lost one of my favorite cousins to covid

couple weeks ago, at least she was one of my favorites until 6 months ago when she stopped by our house
and was telling us about the covid outbreak at her church that week and refused to wear a mask when asked
to. Became obvious she stopped by to promote Qrump and warn us not to accept the microchip shot.
Fast forward to last Friday, ran into another anti mask/vaccine cousin that was related to her and I asked if
he had gotten the vaccine yet. I'm normally cool, calm & collected when talking to idiots but after 10 minutes
of "free-DUMB" talk, I lost it and shouted "Hope you get the virus and die" and walked away. I've always liked
Steve and probably always will. He belongs to a Christian Motorcycle Ministry so this morning I decided to write
him a letter centered around "What Would Jesus Do", that way he can hear my thoughts and not interrupt.
Sorry, I just had to rant and get this off my chest.

Could we use a new forum on DU dedicated to messaging?

A place to exchange ideas on how best to educate the public why they should vote Democratic vs Rs. Plus to
tell others what questions/experiences worked for you when talking to Rs. Midterms are coming up.

VOTE TO TAX ME NOT THE RICH T-shirt

.VOTE TO
..TAX ME
....NOT
THE RICH
This is the next T-shirt I'm gonna have made up to help get our message out what we're trying to accomplish
for this country. It's a reverse physiology thing and would be a conversation starter with others about what's
fair in regard to taxes. What would happen to the midterm elections if every Democrat had one of these
T-shirts and wore it every time they go out in public? QublicOns would see it so often they might actually
give some thought about not voting a straight ticket to look after their pocketbook. Is it possible to start
a go-fund-me page just to buy T-shirts for Democrats who can't afford one? Shirt could use some $$$$$$$
signs, suggestions welcome.

Simple solution to solve the supply chain issue ???

Could the White House call up National Guardsmen and/or Reservists with CDLs to help out major trucking
companies who are currently short handed. There's probably members in all our military branches that
have CDLs or could operate cranes at our ports. We could even give these under staffed companies the
help for free as an incentive to play along until they get their labor shortages fixed. Also the companies
should pay for room & board as necessary. We could keep this up until there's no backlog of ships waiting
to unload. Might make Biden/Democrats look like heros.



On edit ....for all you half empty glass people, yes there will be a lot of logistics to figure out but there's
a solution to every problem ever encountered by man, that's why we gave our President EOs to use
as he/she sees fit. Lets see if we can get our elected officials to at least discuss putting our service
members to good use solving the supply chain issue. There's nothing to lose discussing ideas.

One Veteran's response to "Thank You For Your Service"

...When people say thank you for your service, I reply: " I was drafted. But I would do it again for you"
Was in my local paper today under the "Ask Amy" column, offshoot of Ann Landers.
I can't say this because I joined, '71-'73 US Army 11B
