Why is it the main stream media in this country refuses to call out the twice impeached and disgraced former President Donald J. Trump for the problems he helped to cause or else enhanced (such as the COVID-19 pandemic) during his tenure?
Trump is still facing investigations in Georgia for the phone calls he made to the Secretary of State there to "find" over 11,000 votes to help him win that states' electoral vote count during the recent presidential election as well as the SDNY looking into his taxes and finances on the state level in New York. So again, why is it all "crickets" from the media in this country regarding those areas?
The media chooses to talk about other politicians and political topics with all the "he said, she said" nonsense and gossip that goes along with that type of fluff. Distractions is all that is. What the hell does QAnon conspiracy theories and Alex Jones type nonsense have to do with the real meat and potatoes of the corruption of the Trump Administration for four years?
Regarding Texas and the winter storms that have crushed that state in recent days due to lack of planning and the stubbornness of the states' political leaders, all it seems they have for the citizens there is "thoughts and prayers" as usual. Not to mention Ted Cruz and his idiotic actions.
However, U.S. House Representative Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (Democrat from New York) is doing, not just talking when it comes to helping provide real relief for the suffering people in Texas. As in millions of dollars raised for the relief efforts.
You go girl!
Why is it the Republican party is so quick to give away trillions of dollars in tax breaks for the richest one percent and corporations in the United States of America (see Trump tax cuts passed by the GOP led House and Senate in December of 2017), but when it comes to giving money to the rest of the people living in this country, they suddenly complain about the budget deficit they helped create with said tax breaks and claim it is too much to allot 1.9 trillion dollars for what President Joe Biden is proposing to help the American people?
Hypocrites.
The USA is still the worst country in the world when it comes to the pandemic (thanks to Trump's terrible response to it all) and the death toll is about to go over half a million people since last February. However, things are improving with the vaccine rollout that was a complete joke when it started under the former Trump Administration. (Never, ever again allow that idiot anywhere near Washington, D.C. politics).
On the subject of the pandemic, it is sad to hear that New York Governor Mario Cuomo is now taking heat for covering up death tolls in nursing homes in that state. Terrible situation and for good reason the media has been all over him for that in recent days. But again, the question has to be asked as to why the same media is NOT holding Trump accountable for the damage he did in lying about the seriousness of the COVID-19 virus a year ago? The same can be said about Trump toadies, including Florida Governor Ron DeSantis, who has been misleading people about the death toll and number of COVID-19 cases in his state since the pandemic started a year ago.
Also on the subject of the pandemic, professional and college sports should think twice before allowing spectators into stadiums to view the games people play. The fallout from the Super Bowl is just now beginning to be seen, but of course the numbers will most likely be skewed because Super Bowl LV was held in Tampa, Florida, the state where accurate COVID-19 numbers cannot be trusted. Any fool knows that.
As spring time nears and a long and cold winter will finally give way to better weather, let us remember what it was that President Biden said back during the debates held with Trump about this country facing a long, dark winter regarding the COVID-19 pandemic. He was honest about it and that has borne out since then. It is indeed refreshing to have honesty and accountability back in the White House once again.
Never forget the January 6th insurrection by Trump supporters on the nation's capitol. No matter how hard the Republicans in D.C. try to spin things and deflect responsibilities for what happened, we all saw it with our own eyes. Trump is guilty of inciting that crowd to do that evil. Period - end of discussion.
And finally, radical right wing political talker Rush Limbaugh died this past week.
