Grifters grift. If we have learned nothing else these horrid people wanted government out of their pockets but they helped themselves to money made off of our PPE equipment. The snide comment by Kushner, telling states that they were in their own, was so inhumane and cruel. I pray after the DOJ’s office finishes with going through the millions of papers they discovered, Kushner and Navarro will be held over a flame until they cry “uncle”. That really is my vision for any of the seditionists.
Biden is our guide. He has appointed competent people. We have to be grateful for that.
I'm afraid twe have no such luck! NZ is 2 islands. she shut it down and off from the world very early and caught the bug napping. She has done the same every time she has faced a rare imported case since. No messing with the lady.
Britain is an island but dithered and France refused to shut borders and test and quarantine any arrivals. We got what we deserved.
Come on Stuart. Who deserves death by disease? Death because of ignorance? Death because of poor judgement? No one, but it does happen and there is no dithering about that.
Will we do better next time and there will be a next time? Maybe is the only answer I can see. In fact, I can still see the past, my past. I admit to having had the following diseases: measles, mumps, chicken pox, scarlet fever, pnuemonia, whooping cough and an assortment of broken bones. All of these were when I was a child.
My children had none of these, except for the broken bones. That is an improvement over my generation and those before me.
We are on the edge of medical miracles. They have happened and are happening now.
These things are what we deserve. The comes and goes. Eventually, we will defeat those other things that come our way in the form of diseases.
Perfection, no, but better, yes.
You are so right that diseases caught us napping. Some of us are still asleep, but more of us are awakening. With awareness comes knowledge. With knowledge comes understanding. With understanding come wisdom.
The goal is to be wise enough to use our awareness, knowledge and understanding to do what will benefit us, our families and neighbors as well as people we have never met, nor will meet.
I was in NZ last year, returning to the US on March 12, just as everything was shutting down. Jacinda (as my NZ relatives refer to her) gave online updates during their initial shutdown to reassure citizens and explain the rationale behind the decisions being made. She was an inspiring example of calm, confident, science-driven leadership.
I didn’t say anyone was, especially at this point since the election is over. It is obnoxious though on this site that you can’t say anything negative about Biden without getting raked over the coals. I know everyone here thinks he is some kind of second coming of FDR but sorry to say that is just not the case. FDR would have pushed for Medicare for all and a much larger jobs guarantee.
FDR came to the Presidency after the shock of the ‘29 Crash in the bottom of the depression, crippled, with a brilliant wife, comparisons always break down, but FDRs following was a higher percentage of the population. Bidens only been in office a few months. Let’s see what he does next.

Jacinda Ardern, New Zealand PM, has suspended travel from India.
IMHO, she is exemplary in her steadfast, intelligent leadership. Is there not one of her in France? Great Britain?
What does it take to inspire the people? To vote? To grow a country? Asking for a friend.

Pity, no one deserves obnoxiously poor leadership. I find this lack on the part of our politicians to be criminal.
That's what you get when people start to consider politics a career rathe than a vocation to serve.
Ah yes — a vocation. That would require a world view of “No man is an island sufficient unto himself”, right?
Truth.
We need to remember and remind often, especially as 2022 rolls around: Republicans Lying, Americans Dying:/
Agree, Karen. Please repost this regularly!
Who disagrees with that? The criminals do that is who.

World's greatest leader. New Zealand, please annex us.

A common enemy.
Biden is our guide into the next decade of corporatocracy.
Consider the alternatives. Thanks but no thanks.
Yeah agreed. Still sucks though.
True
Who’s better ?
