Yep! A national emergency is NO time to be a bean counter.

You get people the help they need WHEN they need it. You tend to THEIR needs immediately. Plenty of time later to quibble about how much it costs, when the emergency has passed or abated substantially.

People need the help. And they need it right now. Screw what it costs.

And this is ALSO not the time to be considering any kind of tax cut. You use every tax dollar you can on what people in this magnitude of trouble NEED, right NOW. Frankly, AS a taxpayer, I think that's a tremendously worthy use of my tax dollars.

That's a really wonderful story, frogmarch!

Thanks for sharing it, and that cute photo - of YOU!

Totally get that, my friend.

Nevertheless, it's a pretty doggone good poem! Kind of an evergreen at this point. Applies to more so-called "pResidents" than just bush/cheney.

Ain't that the truth!

I hope they throw EVERYTHING they can possibly find at her.

Fucking Russian agent. Sleeping with the enemy. And needs to pay for that.

Welcome to DU, MarcA!

No kidding it's a very very important point!

That's why it's exceptionally important for EVERYONE to get off their duffs and VOTE IN THE MIDTERMS! If we can take one of those two chambers back - the Senate or the House, we can pretty much stop anything a so-called pResident* Pence might try. It is URGENT that we stop him from ANY achievements, and muddy up his name and reputation so he's radioactive by the time he tries to run for a term of his own.

Welcome to , ban1941!

I think I fear a creeping theocracy more than just about anything else, besides a hoard of neo-Nazis, that is.

I think we all understand, too, that this is what we WILL start seeing if Mike Pence somehow succeeds Agent Orange.

Oh man, NEVER did I think I'd revile any so-called president more than I did bush/cheney.

Now, I, too, would trade this jerk and his albino Christofascist sidekick for bush/cheney ANY day.

Never thought I'd say, or believe such a thing.

Good OP, PCIntern.

You and me both!

All day whatever coverage I've seen, I find myself growling at the TV - "so, gee whiz, let's all give him a medal."

This is part of your JOB, dude. And this doesn't wash away your scandals, racism, insensitivity, phoniness, greed, selfishness, willful ignorance, incompetence, narcissism, fraternizing with the enemy, obstruction of justice, or your nonstop congenital lying.

Kicking.
