Whatever the problem in the United States it will be Biden’s fault for the next 2 years. And we are the one with “derangement syndrome”.

From what I read, there have been no outbreaks since 1966. Until now, during Shithole’s term.

ETTD……in this case, literally with the infected cattle.

It doesn't come from rational thought and it's not meant for rational people. Personally, I think Donnie is the literal embodiment of pestilence. Covid, screwworms, a HHS Sec who thinks measles is just hunky dory, god knows what's next.

... are too self-absorbed to realize how pitiful their blatant lies make them appear to the good and decent people that they will never, EVER be.
But then, only lies can support and defend such a sickening and diseased belief system. Their inner worlds must be dark, indeed. What a horrible way to go through life. I'd almost feel sorry for them if I didn't despise them so totally and completely.
This didn't just happen to them; they CHOSE it. I have some in my immediate family, and I watched it happen. So, no mercy, and no forgiveness. At least, not from me. They don't solve problems; they ARE the problems.

Rethuglicans need to be wiped out as a party. Rich people have gotten away with too much crime, abuse and corruption . The Republican Party does not deserve to exist it’s all based on lies conservatism is bankrupt morally. It should not exist. There are other parties with morals who would not do the shit republicans do.

She's also concerned about screwdriver now, because it can also be transferred in the hay you're buying. Alarms are going off all across the country for everyone who deals with livestock. Horse, chicken, pork, beef... These flies are spreading fast because their eggs and larvae are being shipped across state lines.

Oregon is drought state too.
Our fire danger in southern Oregon is High, as of this Wednesday. Yet, fireworks sales tents are up! How stupid!
