So True - Trump is the deathblow. He's not there to solve problems or save lives.

There is no government response because there is no government.


The Trump Administration is the final movement in a decade's old effort by Republicans to destroy governance completely and move the directing of society to the wealthy and markets.

Trump is the deathblow. He's not there to solve problems or save lives.


When the pandemic set in, the first goal of the Trump Administration was to pretend it didn't exist. It was a corporate PR strategy. Once it became unhideable, the question became: how can we profit from this?

We have to realize we're not watching politics-as-usual.

The kidney punch.

You would think also that, with all the unemployment we have now and is to be expected, plus numerous other factors, the stock market would be consistently doing more poorly even if there were minor rallies. Instead, they seem to be loving this.

Just from my observations in the past, this is not making sense, looking at today's numbers. Is this the divorce, now? Main St. can go to the homeless/abuse shelter while Wall St. lives it up without us?
