Trump is the distracting "front man", while Mitch and Republican Senators and RepubliCON administration has been daily doing all kinds of destructive shit every day for three years, hiding in the shadows of Lardass's hourly "acting out". Assisted by the RepubliCON ownedCorporate Media...

Perfection of what Cheney/Rumsfeld did with "W" for eight long years........and what DaddyBush/Cheney/Rumsfeld did with Reagan starting in 1980......

Btw, neither has McConnell's senate, which has confined itself to economic policy, even attempting to use that predominantly as wealth and power transfers to the rich. (Thank every force for Democratic control of the house!)

So, a few hours to react to Twitter, but no action in 5 months as killer pandemic disease and very dangerous socioeconomic disruption sweep the nation.

Conservative David Frum put it this way at the beginning of his new book, Trumpocalypse (WaPo: "A terrible name for a serious book." ):
