2/17/22: No, dummkopfs! Not all politicians are alike. Voting makes a difference, whether or not you get everything you want from the people you help elect. For example, the Biden administration is:
ü Allocating $5 billion to help states build more electric charging stations for cars and trucks.
ü Reversing a Trump administration policy which stripped the power of California and other states to set stricter tailpipe emission standards.
ü Taking climate change seriously, with Biden not being an ignoramus, like Trump, who called it a “hoax.”
 |
Was there anyone in Trump's cabinet who wasn't a crook or didn't quit and call the president a moron? |
ü Pushing a bill to cap the monthly costs for insulin (needed by 1.6 million type-1 diabetics in this country if they want to live) at $35 per month –because drug companies have been gouging patients for years.
ü Forgiving student loans for 1,800 individuals, for a total of $71.7 million – those students having been bilked by rapacious agents of the for-profit DeVry University.
ü Which reminds me of Trump University, which got socked for a $25 million penalty for screwing students.
ü Not choosing a former executive of DeVry University to help run the Department of Education, as did Secretary of Education Betsy DeVos, of the ill-fated Trump administration.
ü Not having cabinet members get ousted for ethics violations, as opposed to Team Trump, which featured E.P.A. administrator Scott Pruitt paying top aides who didn’t show up for work.
ü Not getting “F” marks from 170 major environmental groups for failing to protect the environment – thanks, Scott Pruitt, et. al.
ü Not having Biden labeled “the worst president for the environment in history,” as the Sierra Club labeled Trump.
ü And not having Tom Price, Trump’s first head of Health and Human Services, stick taxpayers for the cost of more than a million dollars in unauthorized flights.
ü And not having Alex Acosta, who became Trump’s Secretary of Labor, being the guy who gave Jeffrey Epstein a sweet deal which kept him from spending significant time in jail, allowing him another decade during which he was able to prey upon young girls.
ü And, as we just found out just this week, Trump’s Secretary of Interior, Ryan Zinke, who was negotiating a deal with land developers in Montana, by which he hoped to profit, while also “serving” as the man in charge of all federally-owned lands. Which caused Zinke to lie to the Inspector General with responsibility for upholding ethics in the Department of Interior.
ü And, as a bonus, Zinke asked members of his staff – paid for by “We the People” through taxes, to help him make the deal happen. Sort of the double-whammy of bad ethics.
ü But at least his staffers were showing up, unlike staffers for Pruitt, so you could call that a plus.
ü Not just vowing, as did Republicans, if they take control of Congress in 2022, to “secure our border, finish building the wall, and name it after President Donald Trump.” (And getting Mexico to pay for it?)
ü Not making life harder for transgender individuals, by announcing as Republican just did, this principle: “Men are men, women are women, and unborn babies are babies. We believe in science.”
ü And not being hypocritical about believing science. Republicans don’t believe in climate change and don’t believe in vaccines.
ü They do believe in QAnon’s hocus pocus.
FUN FACT: Normally, this would be embarrassing for everyone involved, but Donald J. Trump has endorsed Rep. Mark Finchem to be the next Arizona Secretary of State. It turns out, Finchem is kind of nuts. He has called the vaccines – which Trump loves to brag about getting developed at warp speed – a “crime against humanity.” Finchem has also made it clear he didn’t get vaccinated because he was worried about “potentially deadly gene therapy.”
Doesn’t that mean, Rep. Finchem should be warning
that Loser Donald is trying to kill people?
