Midnight Meme Of The Day!
*by Noah* Trump is in so far over his head but it's us who are drowning. Never forget who voted to keep him in power. Never forget who voted to put him there. Never forget who did nothing about it.

*"Hydroxychloroquine Works on Virus, * *Unemployment Explodes, Economy Plunges"* By Greg Hunter’s USAWatchdog.com "I keep yelling at the TV to give sick people hydroxychloroquine every time I see medical experts concentrating and pleading for masks, hospital beds and ventilators to combat the coronavirus.

Quote of the Day
“I don’t think there’s any evidence [that Russia stole the 2016 election]. And, you know, I really don’t think that’s a good conversation to have. I think that really does devalue the people in Wisconsin and Michigan and others who decided to vote for President Trump. Whether you like this president or not, whether you believe that he should have been president or not, let’s give the credit to the Americans who went out and voted for somebody who they thought would bring change.” —Condoleezza Rice

Right? * Actually, not at all. No sooner did the CARES Act hit the statute books than the talk in Washington immediately shifted to the next “stimulus” bill, with a price tag in the range of yet another $2 trillion. * This time the buzz word is “infrastructure.” . . .
