Scottie, 67% of Americans in a poll said Trump has mishandled his own virus and the impact on others. About 60% say he has mishandled the virus in general. Why are these numbers so low? Now, his campaign has misused Dr. Fauci’s words, which introduces a public rebuke from the good doctor. Taking the president at his word is a fool’s errand. And, that is not a cartoon. Keith
Hello Keith. I agree. But since when do the polls showing what the people want have any weight with the Republicans. 90+% want gun control background checks, it has never made it to the floor of congress. The majority wants a medicare for all of some type and it is not happening, the majority wanted same sex marriage long before it happened by the courts, the majority wants an increase in the minimum wage yet it has yet to happen. 62% of the population want legalization for recreational marijuana but we don’t have it. All of this simply says that our politicians, most on the Republican side but also some on the Democratic side simply do not care what the population wants, they do not think they are to serve their constituents. Instead they think they are there to serve the wealthy and preserve their power to enrich themselves. Hugs
Hello SoundEagle. I have always detested the idea of US exceptionalism and the notion the US is best, the US is always right, or the even worse believing the US has not done anything wrong. The US has done some great things, but so has other countries. Sometimes the people in the US could benefit greatly by looking at what other countries have done and what ideas they have. We do not mind using electronic devices created or designed in other countries, why not their medical or political ideas? Fake patriotism is what politicians use to brainwash the public to hide the big problems and graft in a country. Take Russia, desperately poor people living shortened lives that are a daily struggle to survive while the wealthy steal from the public coffers are convinced that their country is the greatest. Their leaders play up how strong they are, how much better, smarter, greater than any other country, all so they wont see that there are better ways to live, that life need not be a daily struggle for life, that other countries have figured out how to let everyone have some of the good life. Hugs
I can’t agree with you more. Some politicians are really charlatans and swindlers. If only they could be held accountable promptly and sufficiently. Thank you for your excellent reply and insight.

So much for the USA being the “best” country in the world!
So much for humans being the most “evolved” species on Earth!

I can’t agree with you more. Some politicians are really charlatans and swindlers. If only they could be held accountable promptly and sufficiently. Thank you for your excellent reply and insight.
