I will keep on saying this because it is true.

The moment the lunatic in the white house decided to commit the most insane, incompetent, foolish act in the history of the presidency, our fate was sealed.

He attempted and continues to attempt to cover up something that is impossible to cover up, a pandemic. Absolute madness.

This incredible insane act has assured the virus will continue to spread throughout the country with no end in site. This insane act led to the death of tens of thousands of Americans who did not have to die. It assures many more Americans will die.

Because of this the economic damage became more severe. Because of this the economic damage will continue and most likely grow worse. A great depression is not out of the question.

None of us here should be surprised we are on the brink of something unimaginable. When a madman gains power, it always ends in a great catastrophe.

That was truly an insane act that led directly to the deaths of tens of thousands of Americans and the destruction of our economy.

In a desperate attempt to win the election, Trump will approve a vaccine prematurely that will be found to cause brain damage three months later and it will effect millions of people.
But hey... at least he won the election and that is ALL that matters to him and Republicans.

The Administration specifically and Republicans overall are carrying on as if the virus is gone, fini, no big deal. And many people in Red States are following suit which is why numbers down here are spiking and hospitalizations have increased.

And guaranteed? When (not if) we have a second wave, Trump and his enablers will blame the protests and the Dems, not their haphazard reopening and magical thinking.

The economic damage is something they won't be able to hide once people realize jobs have dried up and they can no longer afford their mortgage, rent or food bills.

The Big Ugly is coming.
