    Default What this crisis reveals about US?

    What a “spectacular failure of leadership”, In January, US president Donald Trump said Covid-19 was “totally under control”. The next month, as the virus swept the world, he predicted it would soon disappear – “like a miracle” – and, just last week, he said he hoped the US would be “open by Easter”. This week, as the country’s death toll passed 4,000 – more than China’s official toll, or the number who perished on 9/11 – Trump finally admitted that won’t be possible. Instead, he said that his administration would have done a “very good job” if it kept the death toll below 200,000. As of Wednesday, the US had 190,000 cases (more than China and Italy combined).

    Funny.....I live in Wisconsin, Our 1 TERM Dem Governor along with Joe Biden are pushing for the primary to go on as scheduled instead of delaying for a few weeks out of safety concerns. Polling stations and Corona???....Hmmmm. Seems Dems only care about public safety when it benefits them or when playing politics.. Then again,...whats new.

    Do you think no provisions would be taken for safety? Do you really? There is talk about all absentee. Is that because they do not care? Funny how rightys can't tell the truth.

    Despair not. #COVID-45's chief JPP apologist, Stretch, will be along shortly to provide you with an entire list of how glowingly wonderful is our glorious Reichsfuehrer, and all the beautiful things he has done to keep us safe.

    In the meantime, let us ponder your truthful post and pass around the Cliff Notes timeline.



    Here is a handy chart for you to follow along as we play the "It's no worse than the flu/car accidents/suicide rate/whatever other stupid comparison the deniers like to make" game. Notice that the author has been very conservative with his calculations. We are already three days ahead of the projections, thanks to Trump and his criminal dithering.

    Esp. that one. He claimed to be a native from Lac Du Flambeau in Wisconsin. Since then he's gone on several racist rants about natives. I bet he's also (depending on his audience) a doctor, a pilot, a best-selling author, a movie star, a top rock guitarist, an undersea explorer, a millionaire, and King of Narnia.
