from France 24 (3 minutes)

A $6 Trillion tax on you and me just so billionaires can get tax cuts. Something is really wrong here. Really wrong!

For those who voted for Stinky Pants: He told you what he would do. Now he is doing it. And it is most likely causing you a big problem. I have no sympathy for you. We all knew (yes knew – we were told by experts) that if Stinky did what he said he would do he would hurt most everyone in the country but the rich. He has done much of what he said he would and it is hurting nearly everyone.

But you voted for him anyway. Why did you want to hurt everybody? Owning the Libs are you? Tell me how that works out for you and your family. 

What is really galling is that at the beginning of the year we had the greatest US economy EVER! EVER! And we could have. Kept it rolling except for some idiots voting for Stinky.

Not in the mood but hey are some questions anyway:

A) What international right wing leader was sentenced in her country to jail for embezzlement and banned from the next election as punishment for felony crimes last week?

B) April 4th, 1968 –  what major crime takes place in the US igniting days of protest?

C) Unfortunately, who was confirmed as the head of Medicaid and Medicare by the senate Thursday?

D) Big election for a Wisconsin Supreme Court seat. Who won?

E) Who also made headlines in connection to that election by illegally bribing people to vote?

F) Four American soldiers died in a training exercise in Lithuania last week. Rather than meet the bodies when they were returned to the US, Stinky Pants did what?

G) Two infants in Louisiana died from yet another thought to be controlled childhood disease last week. Which one?

H) April 9th, 1865 – What came to an end?

I) Journalists showing their fear of Stinky Pants dropped what comedian as its White House Correspondents Association dinner entertainment later this month?

J) Benjamin Netanyahu got out of town and visited one of the few places he can still legally go without getting arrested in the world. Where was that?

K) In state level economic reports released last week, what 3 states had economies that were negative?

L) What major Iowa manufacturer announced they will layoff 650 employees at their Amana plant June 1?

M) The Department of HHS fired all workers from the LIHEAP program last week. What does LIHEAP deal with?

N) Senator Cory Booker of New Jersey held an impromptu filibuster that ended up breaking whose record for the longest filibuster?

O) The invasion force of the Vance family ended up spending 3 whole hours in what country for their much ballyhooed trip last week?

P) The current count for measles in the US topped what number Friday? 

Q) Measles cases have been reported in over 20 states but the majority of the cases are in what state? 

R) As if the US doesn’t have enough problems, heavy spring losses in what animal group may affect farm production this year?

S) 80 years ago next Thursday as WWII  drew to an end, what concentration camp was liberated?

T) Who announced he was planning to run for president in 2028, one way or another?

I may be tired and a little hoarse, but as I said again and again on the Senate floor, this is a moment where we cannot afford to be silent, when we must speak up.

What’s most clear to me tonight is that this is just the beginning, that Americans across this country, no matter their title or party, are ready to be heard.

I believe that history will show we rose to meet this moment.

It will show we did not let the chaos and division go unanswered.

It will show that when our president chose to spread lies and sow fear, we chose to come together, to work together, and to rise together. – Corey Booker
