BLUEXITA Modest Proposal For Separating Blue States From Red
Dear Red-State Trump Voter,
Let’s face it, guys: We’re done.
It is a tragedy that so much of the work that so many men and women toiled at for so long to make this a better country, and a better world, has been thrown away, leaving us all in such needless peril.
This is why our separation in all but name is necessary.

China "official" death toll is a big lie
Sorry to disappoint, but no President was going to stop Patient Zero from entering the country from China.
The first positive test in Seattle almost certainly *wasn't* the first COVID infection in our population. It was just the first one that was tested and confirmed. Who knows how many asymptomatic carries came over from China, to here, even before China was fully aware of the problem.
You’re criticism is like blaming Bush for not placing post-9/11 airline restrictions in order to prevent 9/11 from happening. That would have gone over like a fart in a space suit.
IOW, it’s both partisan and weak.

The Chinese form of capitalism can get results, unpleasant though it is, whereas the American pretend-free-enterprise system, particularly when led by an American (television) 'success' who lost a lot of the money he inherited and never had any very clear contact with reality even before he went senile. I don't think it matters much about the original Chinese figures: they got round to dealing with the reality, whereas Trump cares only for his ratings. I do fear for decent Americans unless you get shot of this unelected regime.

reality is they are closing up again..

Over the past two weeks, hundreds of movie theaters in the country had begun to reopen. No reason for the policy reversal was given, but insiders believe the government is worried about a potential second wave of coronavirus infections. https://www.hollywoodreporter.com/ne...-again-1287040
