Onions to…
me for being such a scofflaw going down the aisles at the big box store the wrong direction.
those not paying attention to capacity limit signage inside retail stores.
those who aren’t aware that even though presidential candidates have been selected there are other choices on both major party primary ballots.
the federal elected official who implies we should pay absolutely no attention to those West Wing test positive cases and just reopen the economy.
the federal elected official who wants to terminate Obamacare during a pandemic.
those who don’t realize you must have workers and customers, otherwise business bankruptcies occur with workers losing their jobs.
the federally elected officials who have made our country sicker, poorer, weaker and more divided.
people judging others about a mask when it is a suggestion and not a law — some of us have health issues preventing us from wearing masks.
the school district freely giving administrators raises and creating non-competitive teacher salaries.
store owners refusing service without a suggested mask, they need to remember the pizza shop that refused to cater a gay wedding.
hair salons demanding patrons wear masks; they should provide one for said patrons instead of refusing service.
the federal leader who denied the seriousness of the coronavirus for two critical months, and now is downplaying the seriousness of the virus.
the person who wants us to send our $1,200 to a political campaign — a better use is to give it to the less fortunate or spend to help the economic recovery.
the city for not recognizing their essential workers, and that does not include the ones working from home.
the big box store that does not have any benches or anywhere to sit anywhere in the store.
states asking for bailout money for previous bad budget decisions.
the federal elected official who made a racist comment to an Asian-American reporter and refused to answer the reporter’s question of why he did that, abruptly ending the press conference and storming out.
those who don’t know that it’s each state’s governor who decides when their citizens go back to work.
anyone who thinks that General Flynn received terrible treatment when he betrayed our country.
the woman who accused a candidate of sexual assault, but is now saying actually it was someone in his office.
whoever put their trash in my trash can sitting on the curb.
anyone giving their $1,200 to a candidate, please give it to a charity or the needy if you do not need it.
