Since the craven abomination himself floated down on the escalator to pronounce he was running for POTUS, as a Repub.  He needs to be gone, and his followers need to wake up from their mind altering toxic delusion of fear, rage, paranoia, ignorance and self-destruction, and find a more promising meme.

The 1% with their unlimited cash flow are strong...but WE CAN BE Stronger.

Have no doubt some of that money goes to those supposedly against the authoritarian movement, but in reality are beholden to that dark dirty murderous Cash flow. Read the unfiltered news from non MSM reliable sources and you can EASILY follow the money trail to see who is compromised.

We have to keep pressuring the good folks ( and there are many many of them) on our side to act, to let them know WE have their backs in this, that WE THE PEOPLE will fight with them to preserve Our Democracy and Our Country.

We have the numbers to beat the $$$$. But only if We act together.

if s/he hypothesized that Trumpy-Boy made a deal with the devil, and in exchange for doing the devil's work, he remains "unaccountable" for his many sins. This could be the "reason" that Trumpy-Boy never has to be held to account for his felonies and treasonous actions. In a way, it makes perfect sense is the premises are accepted.

...Culpable for the chaos, the unnecessary illness, and, yes, the preventable deaths because of it.


Just watched a clip about how the GQP is fighting to hinder and delay the work of the January 6 Commission. Their loyalty -- indeed, fealty -- is as strong as it ever was. They are that afraid of losing support of the sheeple who donate to their upcoming campaigns.

They should all be whisked off to the International Court of Justice in The Hague!

Maybe just stop before the word equally.

Because we're not all paying for it equally.

For those of us who have abided by the the medical advice, we may be paying for it in terms of being isolated, unable to see family, etc. Maybe our businesses have suffered, maybe not. But we're alive and mostly well.

MAGAts have been dying in large numbers. Those in the reality-based universe may not care and see it as Darwin's survival of the fittest at work. But it'd definitely not equal to those of us who've been inconvenienced.

Students, including young children, and their teachers are suffering in very large numbers with Covid. Not equal to dying or being inconvenienced, but still a tremendous impact on those affected, and the long-term effects are not looking good.

And on and on.

Maybe change the last clause to . . . , and we're all paying and suffering for it.

I'm fine, but thanks to Delta and MAGAs, I'm increasing anxious about getting sick and increasingly angry that it didn't have to be this way.

All he would have had to do at the beginning was tell his followers to wear masks, and wear one himself. Hell, he could have even made money selling masks with his face, or name, or some slogan like "KEEP AMERICA SAFE!" emblazoned on them. His drooling worshippers would have bought them by the gross and worn them with pride.

But noooooooooooooooo. For reasons I will never understand, he had to bullshit his way thru, pulling misinformation out of his ass and acting like he knew what he was talking about.

So here we are. Fuck you, Donald.

26. My summary.

Sep 2021

Trump took Jared’s advise that this wasn’t a bid deal. Treat it as bad PR.
All good. Nothing to see here. The people on the cruise ship? No that would make me look bad.
They lost February and there was no catching up BUT Trump actually slowed things down AND Jared made two drastically horrible decisions with testing and PPE. See below.

The daily briefings were tragic in terms of his own election. People really got to see him and they didn’t like it. He clearly couldn’t get (social distancing everyone was practicing) out of the camera frame. He really thinks he’s the best salesman ever.

Two really good Vanity Fair article on Jared.

Trump allowed the virus to rage out of control and even had knowledge that the virus was airborne and chose not to alert Americans to this fact. Recall that son-in-law Jared, and Trump, had determined that blue states would not be provided with PPE (personal protective equipment) for first line health care providers. This criminal behavior accelerated the spread of the virus.
