Outrage is gonna spread as well. Paxton sure as hell will not be of any fucking help.
And as climate shifts many many vectors will bring up lots of disease’s mostly found in the tropical ecosystems.
If we could out the criminals right now, we may never repair all the shit, and if it continues for the remainder of this term, we can be assured we will not survive the hell on earth coming.
$70 million of our taxes awarded to Clean Coal CEO’s yesterday, is not gonna protect us.
Foot and Mouth disease, lurking.
hamsterjill, I share your anger at it all. Everyday another hell event. Damn hard to think of enjoying any 250 celebration where we are now.
A funeral will be more appropriate.
