The acting president has literally murdered children, as well as ripped them away from their families and put them in concentration camp cages and irreversibly damaged them for life. I’m done with feeling sorry for the morons who’ve fallen for his lies or the assholes and nutjobs who are are using him to advance their racist, misogynistic, greedy, selfish and batshit crazy goals. Let them ALL catch the virus and die from it–preferably before election day, and let him rot in federal prison for the rest of his life.

And I hope his three oldest children catch it too. Let his evil be mirrored back on him.

Biden is going to have his hands full tonight, taking this monster down.

Joe should remove the “almost” from the “almost criminal” line he has been using.

This is reprehensible and should be criminal.

I’m just surprised they have not declared that covid is actually good for you, it’s cardiovascular exercise.

So many of the discussions about schools only focus on the kids. I read a recent study that if you take in to account all staff members, not just teachers, the percentage of educational staffers at risk for a serious Covid illness is 42%. In any case, I’m happily enjoying semi-retirement from teaching- just monitoring students in a digital learning program.

Criminal negligence on a massive scale.

Negligent homicide at the least, with a (un)healthy measure of reckless endangerment. There should be some statute about criminal incompetence that applies here.

I think the phrase you’re looking for is “depraved indifference.”

Well when the President hires all the heads and Congress lets him.

Seriously Trump has exposed how dysfunctional our Constitution is.

Yeah, very few institutions run well on 200 year old plans.

Whoever wrote that advertisement back in 1861 used capital letters like Trump does in his tweets.

GOP:. There’s too many kids anyhow.

Minor collateral damage if it gets Fat Nixon reelected.

I’m okay with the eldest four.
Minor children have no agency and cannot be held responsible, but the others are all in on the evil, including Tiffany.

Meh, she makes a cameo appearance here and there, probably a condition of her trust fund, but otherwise isn’t involved in Trump Crime, Inc. It’s Ivana’s kids who are vile.

That is only the ones tested. I know families in TX who had Covid, the older kids are tested, and found positive, but the babies are not tested because the treatment for the babes do not change. I.E. there is no special treatment for covid. The reason to test the older kids is for social distancing.

All of the people involved in this need to pay the price, and not just for their blatant disregard of the health of schoolchildren and the teachers and staff, but for all of the blatant disregard for the health of all Americans during this pandemic because Fat Ass needs to win the election to avoid going to prison. Scott Atlas, Redfield, Giroir - all of them.

But the person I reverse the most venom for is Doctor Debbie, that evangelical tower of tripe. I hope her flowing scarves have the same effect on her that they had on Isadora Duncan.

Line them all up, identify them by name, and charge them with negligent homicide.
