Expecting the Greatest Depression ever! Did you thank your Social Security today?
Thanks a bunch. Day 43
Joe Biden’s strong economy wrecked in a record 40-ish days. Called the strongest in the world after COVID had stopped the world’s everything for a time. Streets were so quiet. Weeds began to reclaim them in already quiet areas as my own. Skies were quiet too and clearer of air travel. When the starter was pushed we ambled back, frightened and protective of loved ones older and sicker. Essential workers were hailed for their sacrifice, now essential workers will be simply fired as sacrifice to Elon’s billions. The pain before the,… what? Anyway, “in covid”, the vaccine came a lot later.
March 11, 2020. After more than 118,000 cases in 114 countries and 4,291 deaths, the WHO declares COVID-19 a pandemic.” Joe Biden takes office, Jan 21, 2021 after nine months of Trump administration doing it’s all to sideline Fauci, ridicule and disparage science while supporting the fastest vaccine roll out with the most effective vaccines in the world as well. Remember the testing machines for covid were shipped to Russia for Vlad? Told him everything he needed to know about who to push out a window next.
An inconsistent and incompetent administration with seemly few and inconsistent plans.
President at the time the pandemic began was Trump. By Trump’s talking points it’s all his fault, which is is btw. He failed to protect us. He told Bob Woodward that too. “Played it down.”
We knew, March 11. I was at dinner for my anniversary. Hubby and I looked at one another over dinner, and then at our server, and then at each other. We closed our floral shop the next day, out of necessity and began canceling or delaying our wedding contracts and tried to figure rules of rescheduling and possible fees. Then the flowers became unavailable because the farms were plowed under due to covid. No workers. Everyone ill.
He never let us have that moment of blame he moves so swiftly for a fat man with dementia. Big fat sausages fingers pointed and we were made to wonder, was it from a lab accident or on purpose? Was it from the wet market? Them a thousand times, Chy-na. Never him. Let the immigrants and Asian population take a beating or two. Must have done somethin’ sometime,… mobster.
Biden is taking the full blame today (no he’s not accepting the blame) for the war in Ukraine. As news interviews of GOP Magas lie and point to Zelensky for the deed. With repetition, it’s beginning to looking a lot silly. “Try try” it’s said is all a steer can do.
So, Joe, it’s also said, was in office when Russia attacked Ukraine. Biden has magical powers when not in power, and in power, he was useless garbage goes the Fox fabrications, now fact…. and this is how Trump attempts to oust Zelensky form his presidency and the play is Let’s make a deal. If he could be given a wheel to spin Don would be happy. “Let’s see,” pointing to a spinner, “What will Ukraine give up to Russia?” Let’s spin for peace?
Why is Trumps is such a hurry?
His weak hand at the wheel is what done did the deed. I say, continue to remind people of time and events as they were. The switcharoo in language of who did what to whom can easily be seen today, not as propaganda, but simply that Trump has written his edicts from his position, which is now, next to Vlad Putin. Putin plays him like his little bitch. I say that, out of my character but in character of people like Sean Combs who is in jail. Or Kanye who should be. This is a photo of “his” woman having just about enough. And Kanye, aka Ye, which rhymes with Nazee if you say it just so, looks like he believes her. Bad angle for that double chin there, Ye. She filed for divorce shortly afterwards.
The economy, Maga insisted we had is fast tracked to now become reality. The stock market dove yesterday as he ran his mouth. Stunning real time response. He bankrupted casinos remember? It’s only impressive if you don’t own them if you bankrupt one by winning against the house.
Adults on the planet are looking to play by rules set and peace in minds and hearts. Those without either continue the war on its own citizens.
PeeWee pants. What a fool.
Zat you Barak?
Now that’s the real Melania! First she takes Michelle’s speech, and now Barak’s suit, in a twist of gender and isn’t he the man Trump hates the most? Well, it’s true Zelensky is the international one but Barak,… he owns a special place in Donalds’s head. No rent either.
Melania in her ruffley Eastern European accent, delivered her missive about “prop-pah-gahan-dah ohn de inn-ter-net”. We are back at Be Best. Who doesn’t butcher English at this point? I try. Her point is the “Take it down Act” which would criminalize deepfake and non-consensual pornography and require platforms to remove such content.
Social Security, not so secure? When Robert Reich says it, take it to the bank.
On the flip side of the law that protects us or should, from all the tries at firing people, Judge Amy Burman Jackson has ideas. I offer a video that explains the injunction to stop all this firing and restore people to their positions. Trump’s willingness to comply will be noted at his impeachment. The third one, surely to be done, and don’t call me Shirley. All the courts together have more muscle than that insane imbecile. Patience but don’t be patient.
Mmmm, more on Jackson…
Benghazi wrongful death case-
In May 2017, Jackson dismissed a wrongful death suit filed against former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton by the parents of two of the Americans killed in the 2012 attack on the American diplomatic compound in Benghazi, Libya, on the basis of the Westfall Act.[24]
Roger Stone
In January 2019 Jackson was assigned the case of Roger Stone, who had been an informal advisor to 2016 presidential candidate Donald Trump, after a grand jury had indicted Stone on seven counts including making false statements, obstruction of justice, and witness tampering.
It’s far worse than middle school lunchroom with all the hitters pushed to one end of the room throwing spitballs at the same kids they went to kindergarten with. Far far worse but just the same, too. It’s actually why Trump want to fire people in position, bring in new people. His. You knew that though. More on Judge Jackson.
Tonight’s the big night. SOTU. How will we be shocked? How will he fail more?
And lastly, just for fun. Did you know there is a male dance for ‘Sugar Plum’ in the Nutcracker? Typically, men’s dancing relies on different steps than ladies to dazzle us. Women dance on point and are lifted up as flying, while men are the “horses” as they were once called, or “spear carriers” for those in the back, as technique overall, lagged behind the ladies dancing. No more and not here, as the small jumps accomplished with so much air time, the dancer has time to “beat” the legs several times, cleanly, sparklingly as well as turn without ever losing control. From the Royal Ballet, once called Sadler’s Wells, Sugar Plum Prince.
Thanks for being here. I wouldn’t be here without you.
❤️
Great piece Gari!! Love love loved the Ballet!!! Needed that brilliance after the horrendous speech tonight. Thank you. ❤️ God help us if they mess with our Social Security. I've been cutting back my spending and will be doing even more now. Gun plans on hold. Dark times indeed. Trump is delusional. But we knew that. Sigh....
Great update, Gari! Crazy times!🤪
The Sugar Plum Prince was so Fabulous -what beauty -my spirit soared watching this.🙏🌸
