    Grumpy Trumpy the hypocritical clown was a Democrat for his whole life...until he decided he'd like to make a grab for political power.
    It shouldn't surprise anyone that he doesn't shrink from using even evil Socialism to do damage control and fix his non handling of the current health crisis.
    Besides, this out of control mess isn't HIS fault...it's China's!

    Socialism has helped bring greater focus on the poor in various countries, and ensured that the spotlight is not just on the rich and famous.

    The conditions of British workers in the nineteenth century were pretty bad, with poor wages, unsafe working conditions, unsanitary housing facilities and so on. This was the same for workers in most of the industrialised world then, complementing the exploited farmers in feudal lands.

    Socialism helped to tilt the balance a bit in favor of the poor, exploited and underprivileged as well so that they could get a better share of what they were entitled to, and fulfil their human potential. This was important for humanity as a whole, because the middle and lower classes represented over 90 % of humanity.

    The improved working conditions, housing and food wasn't the product of a benificent society, these improved conditions had to to be fought for, inch by painful inch and wrung out of the ruling class - the same ruling class that now form the back-bone of the scumbag 'nasty party' !!!

    My newly Republicanized husband was badmouthing my Socialist identity and I said "It's fine for you to accept food stamps Medicaid and it was fine with you to have the Fire Department try to save the cabin. Those are all Socialist programs you know." Trumpers are often stupid

    You can't fix stupid. Americans just don't understand that they have been socialist for decades.
    Would you like to put out your own fire or call a goverment agency to do so?

    Thank you, sir.
    All I hear all day is Trump Trump Trump
    I wonder if he would tell the fire Department (those Socialist fellows) not to come if one of his hotels was on fire
    I wonder too... Whatever happened to his sacred anti Mexican Wall?
    I even wrote a limerick about that one:
    There once was a fellow named Trump
    As stubborn as any old stump

    Seems he wanted a Wall,
    And when they asked how tall
    Said,"how high can a Mexican jump?"

    I love songs that I forgot I knew.
    Don't know the one about Nellie, but the teddy bear picnic was a childhood favorite.
    I don't think they have bears in England but I imagine they do have teddy bears.
     
  11. Yes, this pandemic is trying to control the masses, accomplishing a lot. A friend was telling me his friend was down at the beach roller skating and stopped by the Mask Police and since she was not wearing a mask, handed her a $200 ticket, she tore it up in front of him....all unconstitutional this covid regulations ....

    The mask police.
    Is that a real thing?
    Curiouser and curiouser.
     
  13. That's what I call them, the security people who are regulated by mayors and governors to hand out tickets/fines when one is not wearing a mask in this area....I hear this all over that it goes on. B.S. is what it all is.

    You don't have all the regulations in your area like the rest of the country?

    No it's not that stringent out here in the New England country towns.
    Masks are required in some stores and if you hire a taxi you need one but that's about it.
    The pizza delivery guy wears one.
     
  15. Country towns are another thing for sure. I live in a huge state with millions...
