Hitting Home.

So I left my house for the first time in a month and a half. Need to find a replacement pillow. It was dusk and raining and as I was going pass a store front saw an Asian gentleman rushing to his Truck not just because the rain but his face looked concern and I knew why. I was about to turn into a parking space a little way away from him and almost got hit by a car pulling out (it was the spot beside the one I was pulling into.) We didn't hit and with the rain I was just thinking close call. I pulled into the spot and turned to the car just to give a nod of okay when I saw it was a woman of Asian decent. I saw fear in her eyes and I felt pain that another human being would look at me that way. I quickly gave a huge smile and wave. The woman actually sighed in relief and smiled back.

Yes, I am White and probably sound arrogant to some of you but I am pissed off to be an American. I am tired of Native Americans getting Treated like Shit. I am tired of Black Men and Women being killed and their murders not being held to account.

I also am pissed how some people on this board immediately started thinking that the Ga shooting victims had also been victims of sex Trafficking. Yes it is a real issue but it is also a stereotype to believe ALL message parlors fall into that.

I have kept quiet because I just figure I would again be ripped but after last night. SCREW IT! I have worn a safety pin since 2016. I will do it here.

Yes, proud to say I am an AOC democrat and will vent my displeasure of those who are hurting the party.

This is what makes me sick on Manchin's actions

https://www.wdtv.com/2021/03/08/gov-justice-criticizes-sen-manchin-during-covid-19-press-briefing/

BRIDGEPORT, W.Va (WDTV) - On Monday, during his press briefing, Gov. Jim Justice was asked about the $1.9 trillion coronavirus relief bill, which was passed by the U.S. Senate on Saturday. In his response, Gov. Justice said there’s a need for another stimulus package because the past stimulus packages have been “undersized.” The governor went on to criticize U.S. Senator Joe Manchin (D-WV) who voted in support of the relief package.

Gov. Justice said in part, “Joe Manchin is supposed to be your representative, West Virginia. And you know what Joe Manchin is doing, he’s still trying to hit at me. That’s all there really is to it. When it really boils right down to it that’s all Joe Manchin is doing. He doesn’t care about you. He doesn’t care about the people in this state. Literally, Joe Manchin is selling his influence and making money. What he’s doing is hurting West Virginians.”

Yes, I was upset at what Manchin did with cutting back who got the 1400.00 and min wage and unemployment change around because I know people ( NOT ME but cousins who are getting screwed and friends who are getting screwed.) But everyone want to say I'm full of shit.

This is what Manchin is and I see in late Breaking News he is planning to screw the infrastructure.

So let me get this straight

https://www.cnbc.com/2021/03/06/covid-stimulus-update-senate-passes-1point9-trillion-relief-bill.html

The covid bill just gets by with no republican support even though the $15.00 min wage and $400.00 unemployment was messed by a democratic Senator who demanded these changes to get by patrician support.

American people are still out a semi- decent age.

Less Americans are getting $1400 stimulus checks

Less unemployment money.

And I'm suppose to be happy that this bill isn't going to help as many people as it could and expect this bill will make a strong case for democratic wins in 2022?

What the Actual Fuck!

Sorry I don't see it.

It is time to accept the fact that if people aren't working for the democratic

platform or the U.S. citizens it time to stop protecting and defending them. They are hurting us!

And the Backwards slide begins.

We Have Biden and Team doing great by getting enough vaccine doses. Granted getting it into the arms is still a little troubling. We have Dr. Fauci explaining once all adults get the vaccine we will achieve herd immunity and life will return to "normal" by end of the year.

So instead of encouraging Citizens to be patient follow the rules a little longer what does Texas Mississippi and Connecticut do? I open up no mask wearing. Have we freaking forgotten not only do we have the Mother Covid strain running around but we got the offsprings of the virus (the mutations Britain, Brazil South Africa and California) running around.

You have Ohio planning to open and PA relaxing restrictions.

All this in time for "Spring Break"

Do people realize that you have to if you have Covid you have to wait 90 days to get the vaccine?

https://www.abc10.com/article/news/health/coronavirus/vaccine/vaccine-question-how-long-to-wait/103-b22ae306-8acd-4201-8258-695760277473

So we have states opening up before a good majority of people are vaccinated and maybe I am wrong but no doubt super spreader will happen so lets say 50 people get the virus during spring break and go back to their states and infect 5 people before finding out they have it. look at how many people have to wait 90 days to get the vaccine.

Thanks for playing our game 2021 up next will 2022 win the game for normality?

just a thought.

yes we are starting but this should be our goal to complete by 2022.

Manchin & Sinema

This is probably more of a rant. A way to get this off my chest. I am sorry if it offends.

I am watching the two Senators and I serious wonder why the DNC or Schumer start playing hard ball. I've heard people say they vote more with us then against us but I don't see it. To me -especially with Manchin he is a egomaniac who couldn't hack it as a Republican and is only a Democratic for power. He might as well be a republican with the way he is trying our hands.

If I had control of the DNC I would haul them into a close door meeting. I would have before the meeting found a vetted possible Primary challengers, I would have done polling with their constituents about the topics like Min wage the 2 are fighting against and show them the polls showing that they are wrong in their stances. I would poll a question to their constituents as to if they would vote for Manchin/Sinema knowing they stop the $15.00 min wage.

I would lay all this information out and I would have a few Lincoln style ads ready to show them. I would basically say you have a choice work with us or prepare to lose your jobs.

We need our party to stand together and work for TRUE democratic candidates.

right now I feel the Senate isn't ours between these 2 and all the B.S. the QOP is doing.
