Thank you, sir. This is the message that needs to be bluntly stated and supported with facts. There is simply no real argument that is based on facts to suggest that the President and the Republican leadership have the country’s citizens best interests at heart. They have made too many decisions that not only harm a large fraction of the people but have directly lead to their deaths without serious efforts to try to help and save them. The President’s apologists need to be taken to task as well (that’s you Fox network).

Too bad the only message I hear on my local TV is a Trump ad about Biden killing the economy. Over and over again. I thought Trump was out of money.

And we can predict with certainty that (a) Fat Don will be enraged at this message from this black official and (b) he’ll keep killing people.

Here’s an article that didn’t get much MSM play because , well, it’s the MSM with their obsession of trying to normalize the Con. He told Israel about the virus in November 2019 but sat on his fat butt here and did nothing.

Here’s another one that will wake you up if your brain is functioning. There is a phrase in this reporting that really got my attention — cataclysmic event.

Trump in the WH has spawned a cycle of them. He’s killing people, the economy, our rule of law, the environment, racial justice, trust, national security…

Trump did not want to panic people because they would rush the hospitals.
He decided funeral homes were better equipped to handle to the rush.

Just a reminder … 15 days away…

First presidential debate: Sept. 29

Location: Case Western Reserve University in Cleveland, Ohio
the Health Education Campus of Case Western Reserve University and Cleveland Clinic will host the first presidential debate Tuesday, September 29, 2020, in its Sheila and Eric Samson Pavilion.

Time: 9-10:30 p.m. Eastern
Moderator: Chris Wallace, anchor of “Fox News Sunday”

Details:

  • The debate will be 90 minutes long and have no commercial breaks.
  • It will be divided into six 15-minute segments that the moderator gets to choose and is expected to announce at least a week before the debate.

Also - per Washington Post -
We don’t know what the audience will look like for these debates, whether there will even be one, or even whether the candidates will appear virtually or together onstage. The Trump campaign requested that both candidates appear onstage together. The commission did not respond to that request, saying only that it will follow all Centers for Disease Control and Prevention guidelines and that it has retained Cleveland Clinic as a health security adviser for the debates.”

I’d be happy to be wrong–c’mon, Don, get high and go on stage with Uncle Joe!–but I continue to believe that Trump will not participate in a live debate.

Harsh, but fair.

Well half-a-brain Ronna whatever her last name is tried to blame Biden yesterday because one of Biden’s tweets wasn’t a strong enough response. So there’s that.

Trump was irresponsible and greedy - he behaved like a sleazy shady business guy who rolled the dice and decided to pocket the insurance premium money instead of paying for the coverage - and he gambled that the crisis would not materialize - fire wouldn’t happen … the hurricane would not hit … and if he was right - he would have been ahead of the game … but he was wrong dead wrong and other people are paying big time … and now he is frantically trying to weasel out of responsibility for the bad decisions that he made.
