Four Years Ago Today: Donald Trump promotes an unproven an ineffective cure for the Coronavirus pushed by conspiracy theorists.
Four Years Ago Today: Donald Trump promotes an unproven an ineffective cure for the Coronavirus pushed by conspiracy theorists.
Four Years Ago today: Despite the coronavirus first surfacing months ago, the US is still so poorly prepared with supplies that hospital workers have to make homemade facemasks. Remember this when anyone asks you if you were better off 4 years ago.
Four Years Ago Today: As supermarket shelves remain barren, the FDA recommends that people only buy enough food to last them a limited time to combat the shortages.
Four Years Ago: With no guidance from the President or Federal Government, states, both red and blue, begin to enact a patchwork of closures and COVID prevention measures on their own, with no uniformity.
Were you better off 4 years ago?
Four Years Ago Today: Donald Trump refuses to take any responsibility for the US's early coronavirus response failures, especially the failures regarding testing.

Four Years Ago Today: Trump rants about the Obama administration response to the Swine Flu to distract from criticism from his handling of the COVID pandemic. 100x as many people would go on to die from COVID as died from the Swine Flu.

Despite the lies we are now told about how times were more peaceful under Trump, 4 years ago the US was still actively involved in multiple wars and soldiers were getting killed in action.

Four Years Ago Today: President Trump gives a disastrous Oval Office speech, sparking Americans to panic return from Europe on packed flights. Three Years Ago Today: President Biden signed the massive American Rescue Plan that gave the US the world's best economic recovery.

Never ask three things: - a man, his age - a woman, her salary - a red-brown fash, why are eastern european countries that border russia are so willing to join nato
@SpaghettiKozak @lemoneken @AP_Europe You sure are cutting NATO, the more powerful of these 2 entities, w/ far more success at controlling Europe, a lot of slack here.
From @AP... Twitter accounts spread Russian propaganda on the Ohio train derailment, "using Elon Musk’s new verification system to expand their reach while creating the illusion of credibility." apnews.com/article/ohio-t…
@OopsRepublicans I love how they’re all pretending Trump isn’t there.
@OopsRepublicans They seem to think he’s too stupid to be responsible for the things he says & does. But yet also think he is qualified to once again be the most powerful man in the world.
@OopsRepublicans another one for you
Rep. Boebert (R-CO): “We have more than 25% of federal employees not logging into work.” @USOPM Dir. Kiran Ahuja: “I do take issue with the characterization.” Boebert: “It’s in this leaked document.” Ahuja: “You’re basing that from 2020, which is in the last administration.”
@OopsRepublicans I think this might qualify?
The Mexican drug cartel’s revenue has increased 26x since 2018. Joe Biden’s economy is working out for someone, just not the American people.
@Dav_Dal98 The guy in your header voted for the crime bill and said we need more prisons and tougher penalties.
@What46HasDone @OopsRepublicans We still haven't gotten to the bottom of why Barack Obama didn't do anything to stop 9-11.
You know those dorks? The socially awkward ones that weren’t intelligent enough to get into those coding courses? They’re journalists now.
@PlayfulPianoVGM @wbhdprivate Yep, if gender neutrality is the aim with the word and the linguistic concept exists as you’ve said, Latine would be better. I think Latinx sounds way too manufactured and I can’t imagine the Hispanics I know using it, they’re more likely to talk about country of origin.
@wbhdprivate It really should be Latine if not Hispanic. Latine actually fits with Spanish and other South/Central American linguistics.
They don't vote. Stop basing your entire electoral strategy on a group that does not vote
Currently in LA city, only FIVE PERCENT of registered voters 18-34 have voted, with 3 days left until election day. Compare this to TWENTY-ONE percent of registered voters over the age of 65%. Come on people, PLEASE return your ballots! We're completely ceding the city.
Must be nice being able to switch heritage every few years.
@brent858 absolutely nothing? we accept that they're very conservative and probably will vote republican soon, but while they're democrats, they have a big say in the democratic primary in that region, because that's who the median voter arguably is there.
