As much of a failure as trump is, the republican senate has failed more.

There is a constitutional remedy for Fat Hitler and the rethugs sold the American people down the river so they could hold onto power. May all of them end up with a tube down their throats at a bare minimum.

If 100,000 die there will be millions who get terribly sick. Most everyone will know someone who got very sick or died. When the Trumphumpers try to spin that as a success I hope people remember it didn’t have to happen this way. Just as we have to most infections now we’ll be by far and away more gravely effected than any other country in the world.

It's his response to the coronavirus.

He didn't respond to the early warnings from the intelligence agencies or even his own lackey Navarro. Why not? Is he too stupid to recognize the problem? Is he so callous he just didn't care? Was he waiting to try to capitalize on the crisis somehow?

His denial and delay has ended up costing thousands of lives, and he can still show no empathy.

If Joe Biden and the best ad goons on the Dem side cannot encapsulate that into a winning message, well, then.....

Someone else posted, and I agree, that Congress (McConnell, Graham, Cruz, Nunes, etc.) is very much culpable. Their absolute disregard for life know no bounds.
