Carpe Diem! A BUNCH of the legacy #racist #mysogynists are getting ready to exit. It will help a little. Their #children are #poisoned, but hopefully #teachable.
It is dark, but I do not think there has been as much opportunity for positive change since the #GreatDepression.
#9/11 was but got blown.

As a graduate of Rosalind Franklin University, I would be remiss if I did not mention that he STOLE her photograph 51, which proved the double helix structure of DNA. He did not give her credit.

Oh boy! Here we go again! Trickle down economics quote from the Great Depression era. Humans never learn. We lose it all, they lose most of it all. Brace yourselves: Great Depression II has already started.

Not enough people learned anything about the #GildedAge or the #GreatDepression . We are all going to be forced into a historical reenactment soon.

It ends with a #GREATDEPRESSION. ALWAYS! #JOBLESSNESS. #HOMELESSNESS. #STARVATION. The McKINLEY TARIFF ACT caused the PANIC of 1893. The SMOOT-HAWLEY TARIFF ACT caused the 1930s GREAT DEPRESSION. RUMP's TARIFF WAR will do exactly the same thing. GUARANTEED.
