Now we are being told that no one is very excited about Joe Biden, but Trump supporters would run through a brick wall to vote for him. Hmmm. Maybe. Could be. Maybe not. In any case, excitement and nutty suppporters who are rabid in behavior do not mean much at this point. In fact, all Trump has to do to insure his loss at the polls is to continue his self promoting so called news conferences. Last night's was just the pips!
For two and a half hours that man blustered and stumbled, played a political rally compilation video 'highlighting' his accomplishments and 'adroit' handling of the virus crisis. Ummm. Could someone please show me, in simple terms, no less, exactly where and when he was so capable? Reviewing the conferences and his public statements re the coronavirus pandemic, all I saw was a man trying to be presidential but losing it, major! Reading from a prepared script was one thing but as soon as he went off label, shall we say, he ripped through each and every attempt to make himself look good. To succeed would have been like crossing the Rubicon and no way, no how, can this man ever cover up all his omission and commision steps in this battle.
Relief checks? $1200. Rent? $1500. Not good. College student? Tough bugs on you. Over 18, living with parents with no job, no income, no insurance? Grin and bear it! Need a loan for small business? Try again some time next month or next year. Big business needing help? Just step up to the plate and the closer to Trunp, the better for you. Need a mask? Work in a hospital? Missing a loved one in the hospital? Check again some time later for what you and the sick need. And as for unemployment, all 16 plus million of us, keep on truckin' for you might get through some time in the near future. Maybe. Possibly. Don't count on it. Try a food bank if you are hungry. Oh, they ran out of food other than ramen noodles? Tell your kids to grin and bear it. Man up!
Oh, but wait. Did he not come to the rescue with that drug, the hydroxychloroquine? Yuh huh. The same old crap from his stupid and limited mind. It is a dangerous drug with psychotic side effects and can damage the heart badly. It should be used only for those illnesses where it does help and not for Covid-19 where it most emphatically does not!As for him, our oh so not a leader? Not to worry, for your leader, the one you would go through brick walls for, well, he has the newest tester machine, gets tested seemingly every other minute and people near him are using up a good deal of the nation's testing capacity as they are tested all the time before they get near the 'hero' of ours. But you just keep running through that brick wall. No problem. Brain damage? Uh, already there as evidenced by the insane, blind, rabid support you give to a demented and tormented narcissist who is focused totally, completely, 150% on himself. Just go for it!
It takes CNN to have the courage to shut him out as he played, at our expense and time, a political video for the entire nation which we paid for! Enough of his bluster. Enough of his nastiness. Enough of his shredding our government, ridding himself of true and dedicated workers and installing incompetents seeking power and money in their steads. Enough, I say and enough more and more people are saying. Even in Wisconsin where he tried so hard to stymie Democratic votes, the position of a judge on the State Supreme Court went to a Democrat! Yup! There is joy in Mudville tonite for us and none for the other side. Yup! Feels good. Gives hope for the future in November. Now if only we can score with the electoral votes we might pull out not only a popular vote victory as did Clinton - and do not forget that - but also an electoral victory and then maybe we can tackle this anachronistic system afterwards.
There is lots of hard work ahead of us. The media is threatened at its very roots. Reporters are cursed, called names. We are fighting against a man who claims "absolute power" despite all the rules and regulations and the Constitution which disprove that attempt to pull a coup on the American people. Have no doubt about it. This man is a dictator at heart, a mean, cold, non empathetic person who uses people to inflate himself, uses words of a three year old to match his infantile behavior, and is just so bad for us, the country and the world.
As for you brick wall people, well, just continue to ignore the deaths of so many. Ignore death, the Angel of Death, as he comes closer and closer to your intimate circle and loved ones. We have had losses of friends but yesterday we were blindsided by the loss of a close friend, an integral part of our lives, especially at important times, and we are vainly trying to absorb this death. We cannot, neither myself or my husband. The mishandling of this whole virus is criminal, plain and simple.
In the meanwhile, try to stay well, to be safe. Call your loved ones, contact your friends. Honk a horn for a locked in birthday holder and just care for others. As for that brick wall. The hell with it!!
Be well. Stay safe.
