I can't help reading and watching the news, here in the age of pandemic. Things are not good in the world. People are sick; people are dying. Businesses are closed and many will not survive. Governments at every level are working hard to contain the outbreaks and flatten the typical exponential infection curve.
And then there is the United States of America. Donald Trump, the man I call the Dick in the Oval, is doing everything he can, every day, to contradict the experts. The U.S. government response to the pandemic is, to be kind, very screwed up. Trump and his minions, since taking power, have decimated the agencies and departments and working groups that would/should be dealing with this global crisis. Trump, in his typical me-me-me narcissistic way, holds a daily press briefing, surrounded by cabinet members and agency experts who are required to praise Mr. President on the Great Job He Is Doing, and then try to - gently - correct his lies. Trump is an unhinged madman. He rules over a country that is the wealthiest in the world, and yet doctors and nurses treating COVID-19 patients have to reuse PPE (personal protection equipment) as often as possible - things such as masks, gowns, gloves that truly should only be used once. Starting with his "Oh gee, this will be over in a few days; we have 15 cases today, tomorrow it will be 5, then it will be zero - like a miracle, and besides, this is a huge hoax by the Chinese that the Fake News and the Democrats are using to try to get me, but too bad for them, I'm building a big, beautiful WALL and LOCK HER UP!!!"
Anyone...ANYONE...who votes for this ignoranus, narcissistic, mean, evil.....oh hell, there aren't enough words to describe the a**hole; any person who votes for this man is a total...f-ing...idiot. Full Stop.
