180,000+ people have died so far from COVID-19. This year.

50,000 US soldiers died over 10 years during the Vietnam war. I served during that war in the USAF. I mourn every one of those deaths. I also mourn for the 180,000+ who have died in 2020 already.

Someone said, "It is what it is."

I cannot, under any circumstances, vote for someone who said that.

If you cannot handle that, unfriend me now.

1. Good on you, Mineral Man....

Trumpers get so unraveled when we speak TRUTH to power on Facebook.

4. Normally, I avoid political issues on Facebook.

My friends list is family, friends, and old acquaintances from half a century ago. However, I'm seeing too many Trumpish posts from some of them, so I have decided to break my normal apolitical posting rule.

So far, this post has gathered a number of likes and just one person chastising me for the post. I messaged that person, reminding him that I never comment on his political posts, and would appreciate him not commenting on mine. He said "That's a deal."

7. Someone who said, "It is what it is," after doing virtually nothing to prevent it

... and all the while explaining why he was doing virtually nothing: because the 13 cases were completely contained and would soon be zero; calling it a pandemic was all a Fake News Democrat Hoax; it was just another flu; it would disappear when it got hot; and these things always miraculously disappear, sooner or later, anyway. But unfortunately for all of us, the virus is what it is, despite Trump's self-obsessed lack of concern and willful ignorance, and the preventable deaths that weren't prevented are the predictable result of Trump's sociopathic response.

8. I agree 100%.

Also, in June of this year, a friend's husband died from complications of Agent Orange exposure. We may never know the final tally, just as with today's mega-tragedy.

When will we be great again?
