Actress Jane Fonda: Coronavirus is ‘God’s gift to the left’

Post By [email protected]_84 gift , , , , , ,

Jane Fonda’s remark came during an online event as she highlighted the importance of voting and how it can decide what happens to humanity.

WASHINGTON — Actress and activist Jane Fonda said during an online event last week that the coronavirus was “God’s gift to the left.” She made the remark while expressing how the virus has opened people’s eyes to what she said was President Donald Trump’s true character.

Fonda’s remarks came during a conversation she had with Maurice Mitchell, the national director of the Working Families Party, a political party that describes it’s as fighting “for workers over bosses and people over the powerful.” 

During her very last question of the interview, Mitchell asked Fonda for her opinion on the “concept of maybe a political realignment, a social realignment, and the ending dying of this patriarchal system and possibly the beginning of something regenerative.”


“I just

The Market Downturn has Left Shoppers More Price-Sensitive and Expectant of Higher Discounts this Holiday Shopping Season

Post By [email protected]_84 shopping , , , , , , , , , ,

While Black Friday and Cyber Monday remain the dominant shopping events of the year, fewer consumers plan to shop them in 2020 – many of those who do plan to shop will do so online and expect retailers to offset any increased shipping charges

The US Holiday Shopping Report conducted by Simon-Kucher & Partners, a global strategy and marketing consulting firm, and Dynata, an independent market research institute, revealed that Black Friday and Cyber Monday are still viewed by consumers as the best shopping events of the year for deals – 32 percent of consumers indicated they think Black Friday has the best shopping deals and 16 percent said they view Cyber Monday as the best opportunity for deals, compared to only 11 percent for Amazon Prime Day. The study, based on a representative sample of more than 1,000 consumers across the US, suggests that despite the confidence in Black

In an online interview, actress and long-time left-wing activist Jane Fonda admits that it is “a terrible thing to say,” but states that “COVID is God’s gift to the left.” She adds that the left can use it to “harness” their “anger and make a difference.”

In the interview, Fonda stated, “We can stop fascism. We are at a point — this is a crossroads, an existential crossroads.” She then crossed her hands to make an X. 

“What a great gift, what a tremendous opportunity,” she said.  “We’re just so lucky, we have to use it with every ounce of intelligence, and courage, and wherewithal that we have.”

“This is it, this is it,” Fonda said, and then added, “I just think COVID is God’s gift to the left.” Fonda then snickered about her remark.  

“That’s a terrible thing to say,” she added. “I think it

Hanoi Jane Stands Upon 200,000 Dead People to Declare Why COVID Is ‘God’s Gift to the Left’

Post By [email protected]_84 gift , , , , , , , , ,

Jane Fonda is a sick puppy. Is COVID bad or good? She gives a rather odd answer. No, that’s not the right word. She gives a ghoulish answer, noting that she feels the virus has been “God’s gift to the Left” because it’s exposed Trump for who he is or something. Yeah, forget the 200,000+ people who died. Forget about how half of that total is due to Democratic governors forcing nursing homes to admit COVID-positive patients. COVID is great because it could boot Trump from office. She really is no different that her younger self who palled around with communist insurgents in Vietnam back in the day. She sat on an anti-aircraft gun, joked around with America’s enemies, and trashed the country. Hanoi Jane is a traitor, a ghoul, and totally in keeping with someone who is Trump deranged (via Free Beacon):

Actress Jane Fonda said this week that the coronavirus “is God’s gift to the Left” because of the political ramifications for President Trump.

“I just think COVID is God’s gift to the Left,” Fonda said during a Zoom video posted online by the Washington Free Beacon. “That’s a terrible thing to say.
