Yet again, Socialist politicians have shown themselves to be a bunch of NINCOMPOOPS.
Several European nations started earlier this month to re-open their economies and the results have been DISASTROUS – even before the arrival of COVID-19 mutations.
The Socialists should take this rare opportunity to go and hibernate for the remainder of winter in Eastern Siberia.
