    Default History's verdict on Trump will be devastating

    Damn right, and it should be too?!!

    After a lifetime devoted to avoiding responsibility and accountability -- for his lies, his deceptions, his hype, and his cruelty -- President Donald Trump has met his match in the pandemic of 2020. His bluff and bluster are powerless as thousands of Americans die and the blame falls, in part, on his failure to heed the warnings and execute a robust national response. This occurred even though a pandemic playbook had been left behind by the Obama administration. Early in the crisis, Trump said "We have it totally under control. It's one person coming from China. It's going to be just fine." Weeks were wasted and now the price of this fiasco will likely be a loss of life far greater than 9/11 or Hurricane Katrina.

    On one level, Trump's failure can be traced to his original lie: the false image he sold to the American people in order to hide his shortcomings. Never a competent manager of complex organizations -- witness his many
    bankruptcies -- Trump rose to fame pitching the illusion that he was a great businessman. As he sought the presidency he used counterattacks, lies, and skillful denials to avoid answering for his record and gain the White House.

    A 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.

    He makes you cry; there can be no better reason to re-elect the man than that.

    The Republicans could have prevented all this by booting his incompetent ass out of office, but refused to do so. So, America, rise as one and point your middle finger of blame right where it belongs -- Trump and his corrupt enablers.

    A mayor is not the leader of the nation and able to muster national resources in response.

    The Koreans took 10 days what took Trump 5+ weeks to get in place.

    I have and as a matter of fact I have even suggested Susan Collins be singled out especially for her horrendous hypocrisy and corruption. All that bull shit of her being a moderate was always pure bull shit. But why did any governor EVER believe that they could count on a criminal like Trump to keep them informed and their state's safe. Each governor should have been keeping tabs on the WHO and CDC on their own.

    Move there then you repugnant lying asshole.

    The first case in the US was announced on January 19th. Trump declared a National Health Emergency on January 31st. That's 12 days you lying dumbass.

    Trump will be considered the worst president in US history, in his own category. Won with minority of votes and Russian meddling, impeached in first term,
    blown out in midterms and booted out single term. He is the Michael Jordan of sucking ass as a leader.

    Guaranteed.
