Oh man, do we have a number!

1.5 Trillion folks! Now let’s get to work.

Wait, what’s that you say? Schumer had this number back in July??? That can’t be. We were all working tirelessly hard through the summer on Biden’s Build Back Better plan for moving America forward. But this was kept a secret?!

Man we are a bunch of suckers! Joke’s on us!

This was so fun to make!

Isn’t it wonderful to have POSITIVE things in this world again?

Please take and share all you want!

Update: Not the biggest fan of “Elf on the Shelf”, but this is just a fun meme!

Considering all that has happened recently, what all of our loved ones are going through, and especially considering today’s events…

all of us should do our very best and try and take a few minutes to walk down to the end of the block and knock on the door of that neighborhood MAGAT tRumper family and conduct a wellness check.

To see if they are ok. Also to confirm that they are, in fact, home and not in the nation’s Capitol. If they aren’t home, please consider calling local law enforcement and reporting them missing and potentially committing “play insurrection” with potential risk of loss of life.

Please do your part this winter to care for those you… well you know.

Just kidding, don’t call the cops on your neighbors!

😂😂😂 Love you everybody, and THANK YOU GEORGIA!!!

Hello Everyone.

My diaries are few and far between.

I am treating this as a bit of a public service announcement, if you will. A record of experience. A first hand account of the mistakes, of the holes in the system, of the holes in this narrative.

Here it goes…

My family member is very sick. They have a severe respiratory illness, a cough I have never heard before. Today they were denied a test. They didn't meet the criteria.

South Korea will beat this because they test everyone. We, America, are setting ourselves up for disaster because we think good PR will save us.

This is going to get much worse before it gets better. My love to all of you.

I know this is short. It is my prerogative to be concise.

Jim Acosta was banned based on a lie, and all reporters should stay away with him.

Thanks for your time! Go Blue!

Can Obama have the Intelligence Services gather trump's Tax and Business Data?

Has He?

Has a special committee done so already?

Will our Deep State know when and how to protect us?

Just thinking.

BREAKING: Huge toxic coal ash spill in NC and VA river

A nightmare scenario is unfolding in Eden, NC.

Sometime on Sunday some 82,000 tons of toxic coal ash drained from the Duke Energy Dan River coal ash pond through a broken 48-inch pipe.

The entire river for two miles has turned to a gray sludge of arsenic, mercury, lead, and dozens more toxic heavy metals, including radioactive uranium.

The national news media is ignoring this. The EPA and other Federal and State agencies have set up a command center at the spill site in Eden, NC.

Holy Hell.

Everyone hear this!

Each and every year your insurance company offers you a new insurance plan, at a new rate, with different coverage from the year before.

Each and every year you are offered a new "summary of benefits", at new a GASP "monthly premium"!

Every year your insurance policy is "cancelled", and you sign up anew, new contract mailed to your very doorstop and all.

You get to choose to sign up or to go somewhere else. (Good luck, going anywhere else if you had anything, ever, wrong with your body.)

And COST?!!! Hell, my insurance has increased in cost by about 40% over the passed 3 years!

So.......

The President is right. If you are only reporting the "cancellation letters", and not reporting the way insurance works or the way that the ACA affects this industry, you are being disingenuous at best.

Could someone email the President with this thought - expound upon this diary with links and the like - develop these truths........

Because I can't. I am away on business, and all it have is this stupid cell phone!

Love you all.

My President is NOT backing the Public Option

...and he’s not getting my vote until he does. The same goes for all of these Democrats. He is not standing up like Martin Luther King. He is not standing up like Dylan. He is cowering, and it is NOT what I want in my leader. What do we do? What do we do? What can we do? ........................................................................

So - Channel Surfing tonight, I flip to that new show GLEE CLUB. Yeah it was on Fox, but so is The Simpsons. So, I want to give it a fair shake and guess what is the 3rd line of dialogue!

The Market's turn for the worse is not a panic.

This isn't a mental thing. This isn't a perception thing. If we just stay cool, calm, and collected the Market's problems aren't going away.

This is all happening because our economy is shit. This is all happening because huge financial players and institutions invented over the past 20 years (with cheap loans and through borrowing everything, CREDIT) value and wealth out of nothing. Now the cat is out of the bag and the nothing is turning out to be......wait for it.............nothing! This is ENRON economics, it is all very well documented. They even study it in universities now!

This is a Reckoning, not a panic. Although, people are indeed scared.

Sen. Bernie Sanders one week ago, inspired us all when he published his plan for going forward in this economic crisis with his "Bailout Principles"

My diary made the Rec'd list for the first time, with over 500 comments. Please take one more moment to click below and sign his petition to Secretary Paulson in support of these principles.

It took me exactly 42 seconds, and I feel like I have done something. Please REC this post so that it will be seen by all of DailyKos!
