Another reason to hate Trump is that it means we get more of these W puff pieces, with, naturally, zero mention of "heckuva job, Brownie" occurring only months before this big revelation.

It's definitely crossed my mind on more than one occasion, as it concerns the men in my family. At least the ones who live here in the U.S.  This is not a concern for my family that live in the Caribbean.

 

There's a podcast that Jonathan Capeheart did with Susan Rice (I'll admit that I have yet to listen to it) where Rice is saying that the Obama administration and she personally helped to compile, a 60 page document on what to do in case of a pandemic (she describes it as a kind of "For Dummies" guide) for the incoming Trump administration. Without question that guide was tossed to the side.

 

Wow. That sounds REEEEAAALLLY familiar now that you wrote that outline.

And, I'm sorry to say, I'm one of 'em.  The CDC might recommend we all wear masks in public for the time being; however, I'm worried that'll just give racists another excuse (as if they ever needed one, lol) to marginalize and even harm POC like myself.

 

 

I always believed reckoning would come for Donald Trump and the rest of the GOP.  But, I never thought so many others -- namely, those who weren't necessarily supportive of them -- would get caught in the metaphorical crossfire.

Same. I have been finding a lot of comfort in your post as of late because just when I think I'm losing my mind with people's activities here in California, I get online and see you are going through the same thing or thinking the same thing. I cannot believe how much death is going on and that pos is STILL playing favorites with people's list.

OMG. The letter that Tommy Lee published on his social media (Open Letter to Trump).😵

 

Originally it was published by someone else but Lee amplified it by putting it on his social media.  That caused some confusion.

 

Welcome new followers! Yes, I'm the original author of the "Dear [!@#$%^&*] Lunatic" letter. Not Tommy Lee. I simply don't measure up to Tommy Lee. And here's the book of the same name. Buy it, read it, enjoy the japery: https://t.co/AoBwWgeFEr

Damn.  Coronavirus did what countless villains in Monticello could never do: it took out Mike Karr.

Thank you, @Taoboi.  I must admit there are days when I don't feel, for lack of a better word, inspirational.  More often than not, I feel more like Howard Beale, the anchorman-gone-mad on "Network," ranting and raving on the air about a society breaking down into utter chaos, to an audience of no one and everyone.

 

I truly wish I could make more sense of these times, but I can't.  I know only too well how we arrived here, but how we get out of it and where do we go after that?  I haven't the foggiest idea, lol.

Like Joan Rivers says, you just keep moving forward. Go to work, come home, get on with life. 

NETWORK was a dark comedy, because in 1976 moviegoers didn't think the media would ever get like that.

life it seems....is not without a sense of irony.

Despite the pleas of the governor of Illinois and the mayor of Chicago, the Trump Administration’s federal support to the state has been minimal, unpredictable, and deeply disappointing. https://t.co/5qUQiEFo6H
