President Pelosi, once again

Don't even want to know where we'd be without her leadership

Yet again, it is Nancy Pelosi who provides the leadership America needs in a crisis--today the House passed (with large bipartisan support) a bill that provides for paid sick leave, increased unemployment insurance, and more funding for both Medicaid and our healthcare professionals in light of the damage being caused to the economic well being of working class Americans because of the Trump administration's dismal failure in its response to the coronavirus.

And where is Mitch McConnell's republican Senate?  Taking a long weekend while the rest of us worry how we're going to feed our families for the next couple of months. 

Probably spending their vacation time giving hand jobs to billionaires so they can get a few extra bucks for their campaigns to insure that billionaires have more money than anyone needs while America's children go sick and hungry.

There's only one party that cares about ordinary Americans and that's the Democratic Party.  And Nancy Pelosi leadership continues to shine a light on the intelligence, compassion, and backbone of that party.

Fuck Donald Trump,

Debtor's prisons

Sadly, it sure is...

In their never ending quest to fuck over the poor, the working class, and the middle class, republicans in Arizona (and we could just say republicans, period), have added a provision to collecting unemployment insurance:  if one is offered a job paying 20% more than your weekly unemployment stipend one is required to take the job or have your benefits cut off (keep in mind, too, that you've been paying into the unemployment fund through payroll taxes your entire career).  For those wondering, unemployment checks in Arizona are a whopping $240 a week, so if you're offered $288 a week, regardless of your skill set, you have to take it.  All of which means it you were an accountant making $50,000 a year who suddenly got laid off, Kentucky Fried Chicken can offer you $7.00 an hour for forty hours a week, and the skills you spent a lifetime training for and honing will go to waste so you can come home smelling like Crisco every day.

Frankly, this reeks all too much of a modern day indentured servitude.

Give republicans a few more years and they'll be enacting laws to make slavery legal again.  No sense in the Koch brothers paying minimum wage when they can own you and make you work for gruel, a straw mat in a shed, and ass whippings...

Fuck Donald Trump,
