@volalupi @Jolanaya @ericswalwell I don’t think that’s a liberal thing, it’s an entitled thing that some people have regardless of party affiliation. I vote Democratic often and I have never in my life been on unemployment, food stamps, etc. Meanwhile R leaning states in the South have many welfare recipients.

@munderw341 @LightworkPhoto @bdomenech The German company that created one of the vaccines completely unrelated to any money from the US would beg to differ. The whole world is involved in getting through this, the US is only one country amongst many. Giving Trump all the credit ignores other countries that contribute

@MkerrEileen @TheBuddhist2454 @BetteMidler Taliban doesn’t have an Air Force, they literally don’t have planes, are you worried they’ll swim here? China is interested in its own people, why do you think they would “go after Americans” and kill them? You have been stewing in worries for too long, you see evil everywhere.

@KutelyKelly @stivicus @Alyssa_Milano This is just my take, I’m not involved in California politics in any way. I’m just glad Washington State hasn’t used the recall this way, many less people vote in recalls, historically they have less participation.

[Brian Oates @gtroates]

@KutelyKelly @stivicus @Alyssa_Milano California uses recalls in a way that often results in getting the opposite party in power much more easily and with less votes required. Recall is intended to remove people who don’t perform their duties, not a do over for angry voters, wait for end of term to change governors

@asdindiana @Btalax @Alyssa_Milano okay, still not Biden.

@yestoresistance I play and teach as my job, I am about to retire from teaching because forty years of teaching people is plenty long enough. I want to get out before I burnout😜

@Btalax @Alyssa_Milano Trump doesn’t matter anymore, he lost, we all move on. But negotiations with the Taliban and releasing a large number of Taliban prisoners was not a smart idea, Trump disrespected the military by not realizing the impact of negotiating release of the targets of the military.

[Brian Oates @gtroates]

@Btalax @Alyssa_Milano Tell me why it is Biden’s fault that the trained Afghani soldiers put down their weapons and fled their posts without fighting. The troop drawdown was scheduled for May by Trump who negotiated with the Taliban too. Know your history before blaming one person for this.

@yestoresistance @FlipItKS @MaryBailey1984 @noitsleviOsah There is no reasoning with people when they are convinced they are right. Science, evidence, facts, are useless when someone isn’t open to the idea they might be wrong. It’s like arguing with flat earthers.

@GuyMont70777123 @jonesc34 @VP @TheJusticeDept But with those free elections we shouldn’t also allow certain states to limit the amount of voting locations in certain areas corresponding with minority populations. No state legislature should be able to ignore the outcome of an election it doesn’t like and throw out results.

@lisa03698 @Alyssa_Milano Trump is not available, he is too busy grifting his supporters for money.

@dmandusa @Alyssa_Milano Impeachment is for crimes, not for “he did something I don’t like.”

@GVictriss @Omonditto @cardozo969 @VP You are very incorrect there, Mexican and Central American migrant farm workers and construction workers work very hard. They are part of how farms and housing get business done now.

@FlipItKS @MaryBailey1984 @yestoresistance @noitsleviOsah It seems some people had about one year of patience for the quarantine protocols and then their impatience to live life as before overtook any logic to keep others safe.

[Brian Oates @gtroates]

@FlipItKS @MaryBailey1984 @yestoresistance @noitsleviOsah I agree completely. I was just answering why doctors wear them.
