coupled with this pent-up demand

The only pent up demand I have is my demand that the abomination in the WH be removed from power. That pent up demand has been present for the past 3+ years.

These past couple of months have told me that half the crap I tend to buy regularly I don’t actually need, so when things go back to ‘normal’ I’ll likely be spending less time purchasing unnecessary crap and more time enjoying the natural world.

Imagine how our corrupt, greedy, elite leaders would react if the American people simply said, “We’re not paying our income tax this year in order to survive this economic collapse”. The people would go on tax strike. The people would say to their crooked, incompetent elected officials, “We’re not giving our money to you who’ll turn around and give us a tiny portion. We’re keeping our taxes to use for food, clothing, shelter and to help our fellow citizens.” There’s no way the IRS could prosecute millions and millions of tax dodgers. Just a thought. We’re getting robbed blind and all our money is going to billionaires and corporations. There are ways to communicate our outrage.

Trump first touted that his administration was “doing things this country had never done before”

You got that right - no administration has ever approached them in their treasonous actions. Hoover was there in economic terms but he never tried to give the country away to its biggest enemy.

It turns out that the ‘Party of Life’ is actually the party of ‘economically productive life’. Older Americans who are past their prime working years should simply be willing to ‘take one for the team’.

That’s the hustler in him. Promise anything to make the sale. I wonder if an ancestor of his sold patent medicine from a wagon? You know, Drumpf’s Magic Elixir, guaranteed to cure lumbago, baldness, barrenness.

So much dying is bad!

Never done anything like this before!

Spending money on “stuff” is heroic!

Jesus fucking christ.

Great Flying Spaghetti Monster.

You want to do something for the country Trump, get Covid 19 and lead by example.

If Trump and Putin steal the next election, that would be the most effective response.

Not only can I not watch or listen to this idiot, now, I pretty much can’t read anything that he’s said. I’m not in the Nile, as they say, there is zero benefit to this.

Imagine being a bitter, vengeful, older Trump supporter.

And still supporting your own Genocide.

THAT’S what Jimmie Jones did.

Yes! All the people who have died, and will die from Covid19 in the future, are all martyrs to his cause.

Of ratings.

Surprised he hasn’t thought of building his cherished wall with bricks “honoring” the deceased with bricks engraved with their names. He could even offer extra inscriptions for just a few bucks more. Operators are standing by…

“Words that nobody ever heard before, frankly, and phrases. But if we didn’t do that, we would have pulled through it,” Trump said. “There were estimates, 2.2 million people. Well, if you cut that in more than half and you said a million and cut that in half. You say 500,000, it just would have been unacceptable.”

I ran that through Google Translate and got the sound of Charlie Brown’s teacher.
