3. I guess I should say now that we have people who care about democracy

Leading our government. Perhaps we should actually do something about the murder of over a half million people. You know, taking personal responsibility.

I remember hearing the recordings of the Mass Infector speaking with Bob Woodward. I had all along thought that Trump was incompetent. But hearing those recordings CLEARLY showed that the Mass Infector knew full well about the dangers of the virus.

That makes the failure to act intentional, not negligent, IMHO.

The other things is that whacko QAnon folks aren't going to believe he was responsible, but pretty much everyone else does. It's in the Ds best interest to keep on harping on the Mass Infector's utter failures to remind people about what Trump could have done but didn't.

And have no problem with that juxtaposition. I want to know how they justify the taking of those lives. To me it proves that even their “all lives matter” meme is complete and total fiction.

These were crimes against humanity. That anyone is willing to follow this monster speaks volumes.

Trump AND Republicans in congress were proven beyond any doubt to have allowed the virus to develop into a pandemic. That they took none of the standard measures to contain spread and mitigate disease effects -- quite the contrary. They refused to activate standard practices and blocked attempts by others.

And we know, we watched for months, that Trump especially, and others in government, actively encourage people to spread the disease.

The Republicans, their agents in the media, and loyal trumpists created a holocaust that has resulted in hundreds of thousands of needless deaths and seriously damaged or devastated many more lives.

Rachel and Brian both said quietly that first the national emergency required full attention, and later there would have to be investigation.

& comfortably live out his life at his Florida shithole, hijacking wedding receptions for a few moments of glory, & taking potshots at the dems on Fox News. And that traitorous son-in-law of his, who couldn't get a security clearance until the Con made it so, & requested more secret information than anyone, & when the virus first showed up in America, told his father-in-law, let the virus go, it's only in the blue states. There will never be an investigation of him.
