This administration is run by children.

In the United States, it should be referred to as the Trump Virus that has led to the Trump Recession.

Remember Lee graduated first in his WP class and Grant at the bottom, and look how that worked out.

The north had the factories while the south had slaves picking cotton as their economic base. Interesting switcharoo in destinies though. Thanks for the factoid.

I wish! Children I know display empathy for others and have curiosity about the world. Children are some of the most delightful people I know.
“Let them eat cake.”

Just as Trump the Executioner wields the scythe, the likes of Barr and Pompeo hold his robe and cape to keep them from getting too bloody.
It is Trump who terminated many Public Health positions in the DHS and HHS in 2016, while reducing the overseas forward defense public health sites from 47 to 10; these were the people who stopped Ebola overseas. Trump gutted our defense against pandemics. It is Trump who ignored the intelligence reports from last December and January warning him of the coming danger due to the coronavirus.
It is Trump who did nothing for three months while insisting this disease would pass through and over us like a common flu bug, all the while downplaying the severity. Trump swings the scythe.
His enablers hold his robe and cape while attempting to deflect all blame for the deaths they did nothing to halt.
This disease targets us all, and yet ignoramuses continue to approve of Trump’s performance. The ignoramuses think they are owning the Libs. Even as they find themselves on their backs in an ICU and on a ventilator, they think they are owning the Libs. Ignorance is also a disease. Stupidity is a condition.

There is a woeful lack of statesmen/women in this administration. Can you name one, since Mattis left, who would qualify? At my age I won’t be around to know, but I am wondering what historians will say about these incompetents. That goes for the House ans Senate too…

Yes they had slaves. That was the basis of their economy and political power in the Union thanks to the 3/5s rule. It was also the basis for the war. The secession shows the wisdom (?) of the planter aristocracy to convince the rubes to fight and die to protect the planters’ privilege.
Grant’s, Sherman’s, et al strategies made the most of their advantage. Lee was good but not good enough.
Why it’s Eenie, Meenie, Minnie…“where’s Schmoe”?
It’s his day to look after, Dad, you dope!

It is good to see the Chinese pushing back on the Trumpers. That is remarkable. It would ordinarily be a very odd thing to cheer on the Chinese in their pushback on an American administration, and yet the Trump administration is so incompetent, disgusting, and corrupt that they have paved the way for that.
The Trump Admin could end up being the inflection point in the eclipsing of America by China: as one country ascends, that ascension is amplified by the growing incompetence and corruption of the erstwhile superpower. And America brought this on itself. Homegrown American madness – characterized by idiocy-assholery on a gargantuan scale.
Biden has to win. And he needs to be a lot better that his record indicates he will be.

I think “Trumpdemic” has a nice ring to it. This needs to be hung around his neck, given his contribution to the spread of the damn thing.

Except for those Red-state doctors who are reported to have diverted the malaria drugs for their own use.
There is a possibility of referring to it as “President Trump’s Coronavirus,” which I note are the first 3 words in the title of the CDC mailing, as reported in another article here.
