    agree, Americans eat way too many carbs, and too much heavily processed "heart healthy?" vegetable seed oils

    governments know this too, but they won't change their dietary recommendations as the corps do not want them too

    Free? Not if Bill Gates has anything to say about it. Vaccines are his baby.

    When you have progessives like Harris, Sanders and AOC calling for a green energy solution, defunding police forces, open borders, free college education and medicare for all which are all very socialist ideas how then is the word socialist an insult to people who want socialist programs? Democratic Socialist are what progressive refer to themselves as.

    Democratic socialism is defined as having a socialist economy in which the means of production are socially and collectively owned or controlled, alongside a democratic political system of government. Democratic socialists reject most self-described socialist states and Marxism–Leninism.

    Excellent post. I've heard an interview with a farmer on NPR, of course a Trumpist, and he credited Trump for the tariffs (which hurt his business), and for getting him government money to make him whole. That same guy would have cried "socialism" if someone else would get his "hard earned" tax dollars. These guys don't even know how much of hypocrites they are.

    Now that Trump is out, watch the return of these people to the Tea party, becoming fiscal hawks again, with the deficit becoming number one priority. They are SO predictable.

    That's a good point. The US didn't fund development of the vaccine, they signed a contract over $1.95 billion for 50 million doses before the end of 2020, which then will be provided free of charge to the American people. That is American people who don't live in NY state, because Trump wants to punish them for what their governor said.

    Of course, the part that two of the front running vaccines were developed by German firms is mostly left out in the Trump MAGA speeches.

    Republicans have a history of running up massive debt when in office and then acting as if debt is the great moral crisis of the age whenever they are out of office. The only thing more disgraceful than that is that their supporters enable them rather tha ncalling them on it.

    Cool! Now the “Personal Responsibility” Party wants to blame Biden—preemptively—for every suicide and familial abuse case in the country.



    So, using the same logic, Trump takes the blame for every death from the virus—personally—because he did nothing to try to reduce the spread.

    Would lefties be happier if the vaccine were not free? Judging by the replies here, seems so. Trump can't win with them no matter what.

    A free shot is not socialism. It's an action to use in a pandemic and national emergency.

    Ok, so you're not getting the vaccine. To each his own.

    Aren't Trump voters always complaining about paying for other people's "free stuff"? Unless the "free stuff" comes from Trump, then they are happy. Like the $1,200 Trump check he signed.

    I'm not happy. I don't think we should give it for free, we should charge for each and every shot.

    I also heard that if you don’t kiss Trump’s ass, you won’t get the vaccine.

    For the record, I would have voted for Trump if he pushed Single payer like he said he was going to. So, you guys becoming democrats now? Usually you fight this stuff.

    How is WE, who should charge? You mean the drug companies? You know what would happen if it were left up to them? Price gouging for the first shots, so only the rich could afford them. Welcome to the world of free market capitalism.

    You’re welcome. Does THAT look like
    Someone afraid for the lives of anyone? So ask yourself, how can she say a ****ing thing about what Trump should have been doing back in February. ****ing hypocrite lying slimy biotch. Then combine that with her video from her kitchen and the incident in the salon and holding up bills that could actually help people, and put the pieces together. She and every Democrat werent treating Covid any more serious at the time they claim Trump should have acted. So **** their lies and hypocrisy!

    Ok, so if we think it's good for free, then we want socialism. If we want to charge, we want to kill the poor.

    It's a NO-WIN scenario for Trump. Thank you. My previous reply was a plant and you helped to prove the point..

    They know it's a big leap, but it allows them to avoid discussing any Trump success while simultaneously pushing their agenda.

    So you actually do want free stuff? Sounds like you dug your self into a lil hole there.
    Lets see, you were against spending with Obama, but now welcome it with Trump. You want free stuff when its from Trump, but call it socialism when Democrats propose the same..etc.

    That wasnt a plant post, you are just a hypocrite.
