Never let a crisis go to waste: βTo tell you the truth, that if there is any silver lining in this midst of this terrible, terrible, and unprecedented moment in American history, in terms of the economy and in terms of the pandemic, it is that maybe we start rethinking some fundamental tenets about the way our government and society work.β βBernie Sanders

“βI truly do believe that if we all continue to do that kind of social distancing and other guidance broadly from federal and state officials, that weβre going to put this coronavirus in the past,β Pence said on Geraldo Riveraβs radio show Friday . βI believe by early June weβre going to see our nation largely past this epidemic.
βI think honestly, if you look at the trends today, that I think by Memorial Day weekend we will have this coronavirus epidemic behind us,β he added.
That quote was from April 24. To think this man is VP is frighting. Is this an example or the dumbing down of America George if Pense actually believes that Americans would believe that

Two veterans get to spend their last days together!
Jackson would prove himself time and time again — keeping calm under fire and even enduring a 16-hour wait in a ditch, while he and Holt awaited rescue on one ill-fated mission detailed in the show.
Holt and Jackson would form an incredible bond of partnership and friendship, which made their separation all the more difficult.
When Holt retired from the U.S. Air Force he had to leave Jackson behind.
“When he left, he was only allowed to take Jackson’s collar and leash,” narrated Bream, “And as Jackson continued his military career, Holt struggled to adjust to life as a civilian.”
“I had nightmares from the day that I got back and gave Jackson up. I would wake up in panic attacks,” Holt told Fox Nation.
Then finally, after seven years of struggle, Holt received the phone call that he had been hoping for — Jackson was available for adoption.
“I thought it was a joke at first because everybody here knew how much I wanted Jackson and that I talked about him,” he remembered.
Holt didn’t hesitate and his Indiana neighbors, who had heard all of Harvey’s stories about his friend and partner over the years, donated enough money for a plane ticket so that Jackson could be picked up in Washington D.C. and finally brought home.
