Better safe than sorry…good decision by Pelosi!

Meanwhile, PANDUMBDICK Don is full of INACTION in his decision to declare national emergency despite WHO saying Covid-19 is now pandemic! Politico reports that apparently, Kushner, the non-medical non- scientific SIL of PANDUMBDICK Don is holding the decision up…Imagine that!

:stop_sign: playing Russian Roulette with our lives!

There’s no deadline for a decision, but one of the people familiar with the talks said the task force will not give Trump its final verdict until Jared Kushner, the president’s senior adviser and son-in-law, finishes his research and comes to a conclusion himself .

To paraphrase Trump himself, ‘‘if Jared can’t declare an emergency, no one can.’’

Trump has no say in whether the Capitol closes for tours…apparently it’s up to Pelosi as McConnell is not mentioned here. Or, he’s just a coward and shirking responsibility as usual.

Trump is waiting for Jared to make his decision? Jesus, we really are screwed.

It’s a really simple equation, really. Just take all of the worst atrocities thought up by the Nazis…

And multiply by 10.

That gets you to the baseline of how fucked up they are and where they’re willing to go.

If you’ve never seen this , get it on Netflix or some streaming service
It’s a German movie and they take took the verbatim transcript and portrayed it
It is downright scarier than any horror film as these “christian” people with wives children and families calmly discuss the most efficient method of killing a race of people like they were discussing livestock management
It can happen here
It can happen anywhere where good men allow it to happen
