One unnecessary link in the network of contacts can give the virus a path around isolation, and breach the protection isolation offers. Lax policies in red states create many unnecessary links elsewhere, and increase the danger of these links.

The virus is especially dangerous to older people, and many of those in that demographic probably voted for Trump in many red states.

Putin uses falsehoods to keep his reign on power. Trump does the same thing but luckily it is so obvious to everyone. Need I mention Mr. Pillow and British Parliamentary style toady questions like the reporter who mentioned abortion at yesterday's press conference?

Endemic corruption is always in the mix of most governments in the Third World.
The United States as met one of the requirements right here:

Don't piss off El Comandante.

Although Florida will need it sadly because of the fanboy Trumpian that is governing the state.

Nepotism...another banana republic oldie but goodie.
I heard he can't make rent on his mark of the beast address sky scraper but apparently has been give the keys to the corona virus pandemic.

Could you be looking for a word or two to use to describe our present government?

One like ..... Plutocracy even a ...... Corporatocracy?

I coined and started using this term years ago now, Corrupblican or added Banana to the front. When seeming to deserve the clearer portrait of them. Combining the terms corrupt and republican just feels like a correct fit and to be right somehow.

WTF!:confused:
The same person who now blames this crisis on the Dems, for it was the impeachment trial that took Trump's attention away from the virus at the beginning.:confused::confused:

I fear once the truth become "apparent" to this self blinded cult. Their "truth" will be directed to "others" then to the true guilty behind all the suffering!

It is all of part of a big left wing conspiracy on the part of the anti-Trumpers!


I guess the right wing has never heard of the concept of multi-tasking. Both Nixon and Clinton were able to run the country during their respective scandals.

At the top of the list of stuff that should not be televised are Trump's campaign speeches, incompetently cloaked as pandemic updates. The asshole base will buy it though.

tRump's fights with media, who as described by tRump are the enemy of all that is holy, are intended to whip up his base into an even higher frenzy .

Cronyism at the expense of public safety.


By the way today at his campaign rally he said "staying at home leads to death."
He must be too dumb to realize that a second wave of deaths following a premature return to work decree would not help him in in the next election.

Trump's last Cabinet meeting was in November.
I guess getting paid to warm a seat while Rome burns is just one of those fringe benefits
for being loyal to El Commandente.

Seriously no one can find these clowns...oops I mean "only the best people."
