    Me too, very scary times teaching into the unknown............
    "There is no question former President Trump bears moral responsibility. His supporters stormed the Capitol because of the unhinged falsehoods he shouted into the world’s largest megaphone," McConnell wrote. "His behavior during and after the chaos was also unconscionable, from attacking Vice President Mike Pence during the riot to praising the criminals after it ended."

    In the article in the OP, did you have a chance to read it? If so, did you see what the author wrote about the rubber shortage in WWII? There is a reason they call the people of my parents' and yours generation The Greatest.

    "In 1940, with Europe already ablaze, the United States had a smaller army than either Portugal or Bulgaria. Within four years, 18 million men and women would serve in uniform, with millions more working double shifts in mines and factories that made America, as President Roosevelt promised, the arsenal of democracy.

    When the Japanese within six weeks of Pearl Harbor took control of 90 percent of the world’s rubber supply, the U.S. dropped the speed limit to 35 mph to protect tires, and then, in three years, invented from scratch a synthetic-rubber industry that allowed Allied armies to roll over the Nazis. At its peak, Henry Ford’s Willow Run Plant produced a B-24 Liberator every two hours, around the clock. Shipyards in Long Beach and Sausalito spat out Liberty ships at a rate of two a day for four years; the record was a ship built in four days, 15 hours and 29 minutes. A single American factory, Chrysler’s Detroit Arsenal, built more tanks than the whole of the Third Reich."

    Can you even begin to imagine if this happened today... the reaction from the Reichtards? "Hell NO, I ain't given up my honkin' huge ass tires for my truck-which-I-don't-need-'cause-I-live-in-a-1800-sq-foot-house-in-the-burbs-and-don't-transport-nuthin-heavier-n-my-fat-wife-and-fat-kids! And I ain't drivin' no pussy 35 mph either! Try n stop me!"

    Sigh.

    Weird thing about being retired, when you're supposed to be free to travel the world, have new experiences, meet new people. Can't do that now, at least as an American citizen. But at least as a retired person I don't have to earn my living being up close and personal with a deadly pathogen. Blessings of continued health upon those of you who still do.

    Cypress didn't say that the virus itself is a hoax. He said that Trump said it was a "Democratic hoax", or more accurately, "Democrats' new hoax".

    He was referring to two previous "hoaxes" like the Russian collusion and impeachment.

I know what all the old political identifiers mean, but they are now meaningless in our polarized politics. It only takes a moment to see if a person is on the side of Marxism, violence, defunding police, BLM, violent protests accompanied by "peaceful" accomplices, fake news, welfare, and overblown pandemic panic to destroy the economy. When I hear a lefty who sounds like he is going to vote for this chaos, I know in an instant that he is effectively voting for ALL of it.
    Good dog. Trump is proud of you.

    I’m so grateful to be retired. I worry for my friends who still work.

    That's nice. The same is true of you not knowing anything about me. Or about anyone else on this forum. We only know each other by our words. What is your point, anyways?

    Putting on a mask when you go inside a store is not a sacrifice. Not being able to spend Friday nights in a bar with 500 of your closest COVID friends is not a sacrifice. Not being able to go see a movie in a theater is not a sacrifice.

    Not being able to be with your loved one in the hospital as he/she breathes their last... *that* is a sacrifice.

    When all is said and done, there are just two sides of the war that makes up the current political landscape. Regardless off what a great person you may be, how beautiful the great white north is, or how smart you are, you are recognized politically as one of the two sides.

    Should we let Don know to not rest his knee on his neck, that you are trying to revive him, not murder him??
