COVID-19 could be the byproduct of another Trump reversal of Obama policy! MUST READ in NEWSWEEK!!

Newsweek uncovered the fact that in 2019 the Trump Administration reversed Obama's decision to halt financing a controversial risky gain-of-function program studying coronaviruses in bats in the Wuhan Lab in China. WE financed it through the National Institutes of Health!!

Obama had decided with experts that the program carried too much risk - since forcing the virus to leap into humans (which is what they were doing) could end up accidentally spreading a new virus from this lab in Wuhan!

So forget the defense that China hoisted this on us in secret!

The Trump Administration knew perfectly well what this was - having been involved in its creation!

The story doesn't cast Dr. Fauci in a very positive light either, unfortunately.

Trump evidently reversed Obama's reasoned policy - likely out of spite and defiance yet again!!

Biden should be underscoring this story!!

How many Trumpsters would jump off a cliff if Fox News told them gravity was a lie?

I'm guessing close to the same number appearing at these Operation Gridlock/Nazi rallies!

Ready to risk your life to stop a Trump dictatorship from destroying the U.S. & life on this planet?

I am.

I'll put on a mask, gloves, gown, shield - whatever I can get - and stand in as long a line as I have to vote this fascist bastard out!

We need a PPE drive...for voters! (homemade, please)

Wisconsin proved the GOP is willing to KILL PEOPLE to win this election.


Trump is leading a war against a mail-in election - and all red state legislators and the Supreme Court majority will make voting by mail as difficult and limited as possible!

This is our challenge. This is our moment to face the Hitler-like threat of the 21st century.

I'm afraid we're going to have to physically be in the trenches to save this democracy - in awe-inspiring numbers!!

And if we can overcome their hacking and voter suppression and put Biden in the White House, and sweep the Senate, we're going to have to kill the filibuster and pack the Supreme Court with at least 2 extra members!

This illegitimate Putin puppet should never have been allowed to appoint two members, and Moscow Mitch owes us a third.
