crisis. He's only looking for some kind of positive narrative to exploit for political gain. His only concern is his re-election, nothing else.

These press confernces have been an endless parade of positive platitudes, self-congratulations, and miracle cures. Meanwhile, America leads the world in cases and the number of deaths. And parts of our economy is in ruin while the stock market is crawling back to its highs. Thus, proving that the stock market is completely disconnected to the underlying economy.

1. On my way home today I got thinking about the Russian connections again

Stipulated: He’s evil. He’s a monster.

And stupid beyond words.

But the damage he’s doing, he’s genuinely destroying the country. He’s destroying trust in government. He’s fomenting unrest. Basically, he’s doing what intelligence agencies task their assets to do.

No, he didn’t create the virus, and neither did the Chinese. But he’s taking advantage of every circumstance to do precisely the things that will cause the most damage.

Just keeps nagging at me.

5. He's just continuing the GOP"s plan to destroy all sense of national community.

When we're factionalized among our states and have non-stop spinning heads due to non-stop bullshit, lies and deception, then we're far less likely to rebel in groups to stop the sell-off of our country to corporations and oligarchs.

Community is what made us and destruction of community may be what destroys us.

A tactic used by many fascists, I believe........
