I’m not there. I’m in the 5% who may that part of the ballot blank. Biden has not persuaded me yet that he would fight against austerity measures. I know Bernie would.

Democrats loving Bernie Sanders’ agenda but not voting for Bernie Sanders is a complex stew of:
1) Anti-Trump hysteria
2) False electability narratives
3) Media/DNC bias
4) A primary electorate that’s not as populist as the apolitical center
5) 2016 baggage
6) Fear of change— Emma Vigeland (@EmmaVigeland) March 30, 2020

THIS IS HOW WE SURVIVE: Instead of letting Amazon use coronavirus to dominate even more of the economy, the company should be nationalized and reoriented to serve the public good instead of predatory capitalism. https://t.co/VYT4Ytz7L2

Mr. Benny is the social one of the two of us, and it’s a challenge for him not being able to play pickleball with his friends. They did figure out one day where to play in which you could do so outdoors. But I remind him that they should be wearing gloves!

I always enjoy these types of concerts because most of the artists who participate are ones I don’t listen to on a regular basis, so their music seems novel to me, even though I’ve heard bits and pieces of the songs on talent shows.

That's not how movements work. The politicians that are supported by a movement don't command their supporters.
Bernie's supporters aren't with him because of personal loyalty, they support him because he fights for good outcomes.
He's responsible TO his voters, not FOR them. https://t.co/F4WSLFmLw9

At the next debate, this would be an excellent question.
Will the federal govt step in and provide FREE healthcare for all the Dr.s and nurses that are fighting for every one that’s affected by this?
My reasoning is that thousands of Dr.s and nurses will suffer from PSTD as a result of working thru this crisis? Its the same as a war and a l…

Cabin fever…what things have you been doing at home that keep your mental acuity up or creative juices flowing?
I’ll start. I’ve gotten more creative with my leftovers. It’s like Chopped only I can’t make anything in less than 30 min.
Last weekend, I made a big batch of bolognese sauce and served it with pasta. Common dish. I ate it as a soup, without the pasta, since I’m trying to watch my diet during this stay in place edit.
After 2 meals of that, Mr. Benny wanted something else. So I added a can of white beans, some cumin, chili powder, chopped green bell pepper, and turned it into a fusion of Latin/Meditteranean chili, and served it with tortilla chips and sprinkled a little cheese. That made about 3 meals. But still leftovers.
Finally, I got inspired to make chili cheese enchiladas since I had the red sauce, diced chilis, onion, mexican cheese. I prepped the cheese enchiladas then topped it with the leftover chili, and put some slices of pepper jack, and let that bake for 30 min.
Fattening, yes, but sinfully delicious.
Here’s some Joe Diffie, RIP, but his music lives on.
I just pick out a few inside “Honey Do’s to keep busy nothing major but enough to break up the day. Cold rainy weekend but didn’t stop me from grilling out today, but i’m one that grills no matter the temp in WI. Once spring temps hit plenty to do out side!!!
i have a lot to do around here— so busy with zoom meetings and texting that I am either avoiding it or I’m actually too busy. lol
What time is dinner?? That sounds delicious1
Mr. Mags made chili last night and so tonight we are making chili nachos. Yummmmm.
Something that Mr. Mags and I have discussed a lot these days is how the challenges we’ve been having to deal with these past few years have really prepared us for this time.
Our lifestyle has hardly changed at all, because we’ve been hunkered down for years. Not enough in our budget to go out, to movies, to concerts (wahhhh, that one hurts the most!), to restaurants, so the reality has been that little has changed for us.
We love making meals from leftovers.
Stuffed burgers pick your fillings. I’ve got about 5-6 years to go for retirement so cutting back to pay off nagging bills , CC and so on. The only thing we haven’t cut back is going out to eat once or twice a month. Were pretty frugal so we can get by for about $25. We do miss that right now as we usually see people we know or go with another couple. I’m lucky I have a great cook for a wife, we also freeze a lot using one of those vac sealers so were in good shape for this as well. Considering the Mrs. profession we know one of us will catch this and the other will be quarantined at the minimum so were going day to day and the first thing that comes up when were both home is what’s going on with CV-19 at our work places. Right now all is well and that is my hope for all of us that lurk or are regulars here.
I do miss the socializing. We did used to get to do that once in awhile.
Good luck! It’s harder when you or your partner is in the health care profession!

On Wednesday Feb 26, in front of a packed White House briefing room, President Trump told the country there were only 15 cases of coronavirus in the US, and “within a couple days [it is] going to be down to close to zero.”
Tonight
“he said the country would be doing well if it “can hold” the number of deaths “down to 100,000.” ”It’s a horrible number,” Trump said, but added: “We all together have done a very good job.”
Or simply that the RNC or DNC really don’t care as long as you vote for either of the candidates they put forward , that way they keep the corporate fascist empire rolling along. Bernie would upset that gravy train in a yuge way
yeah it’s been all out war on Bernie really ever since 2015. I’m donating some to the causes now because I think that’s like donating to him and people are going to see the millions that we raise for people who are fighting on the front lines of this. Once this goes on a little bit here I am going to write and I hope others do too and ask them to start saving for some really sharp ads have to be the best and they have to be of him being President Sanders to really involve people in what his administration would look like.
have to find somewhere else to get the grandkids Easter and the little one birthday and I better get it done soon! lol
