America is witness to the horror show of a late stage capitalist death cult where vulnerable people cannot get the assistance they need, in a time of pandemic, in the richest country in the world. Moscow Mitch needs to have this hung round his neck and everyone needs to reminded everyday that this is ALL ON THEM.

When we look to America, we all know that the government response has been panicked, untrustworthy, incompetent pile of bullshit to Covid-19. I am not going to bore with the list of utter horror, we all know what it is. But here is the thing. This government has to rely on the voters to get back into power, and their instinct is not to save lives but to save the economy, their instinct is to try and convince the elderly and the vulnerable that they should be happy to sacrifice their lives for the republic. Now that is way more freakish than any country should endure in this time. But it is backfiring. Seems like old people don’t like being told they are expendable and new polling shows his support amongst the elders is tanking.

Seems like people enjoy blinking and breathing and are not willing to sacrifice their lives for the Republican Party Trump era death cult. Heh, who would have thought it?

Hey everyone

We have had a splendid April competition. The theme was "bokeh, the aesthetic quality of the blur produced in the out-of-focus parts of an image produced by a lens. Bokeh has been defined as the way the lens renders out-of-focus points of light" and the talent on display is awe inspiring.

Voting will be open for 3 days and please feel free to comment and show your appreciation of some outstanding images.

Please ensure that you pop to the other two voting threads that can be found here:

Can he do that? Doesn't the constitution get in the way?

Joe Biden on Michelle Obama being his VP pick.

Be still my beating heart. I know she has always said she would never run for public office... BUT can you imagine that ticket?
I feel a swoon coming on.
