But it was fine for McConnell to be out for months without working. The hypocrisy is never ending. Also it will be so nice to have a president who is more mature than a second grader. Enough with the name-calling. 🙄🙄🙄

Trump Could Leave the Iran Mess to His Successor
And if he blames the next administration for whatever happens, he’ll likely succeed.

The next time you hear Republicans in Congress complaining about the national debt, remember that roughly 25% of it has been added during Trump's presidencies — largely thanks to his tax cuts for the rich. The notion that Republicans care about the debt is one of the biggest lies in politics.

“But this new tack will require the president to show patience. Trump is, to say the least, not known for his self-discipline. Or for his ability to stick to a plan. Or for his capacity to avoid being influenced by the last segment he saw on cable TV.” 🤣

Dr. Fauci is a hero. He really is. He helped guide America thru a mass death event. Millions more could have died but they did not, thanks to him. Everyone over 70 owes him a debt. It is disgusting that we live in a country that not only dishonors him but actively smears his good name.

So, we have enough money to bail out a money grabbing airline, who are always quick to increase fares and fees but never to reduce them, but we don’t have money to help people with food and health care? Nice to know our government has the right priorities. 🙄
