They can’t go back in time and make him take the looming coronavirus disaster seriously in February and March.
✁
They can’t talk him out of defending the honor of the Confederacy, or convince him to stop tweeting LAW AND ORDER every 12 hours.
They can’t prevail on him to avoid musing about using the military to pacify American cities that don’t want or need an invasion.
They can’t prevent him from spitballing about whether elderly protestors thrown to the ground and critically injured by out-of-control cops are actually deep-cover Antifa agents.
They can’t get him to hire a press secretary who isn’t dumber than Joey from Friends or to break the cycle of driving out top advisor after top advisor from the administration only to see them turn around and confirm what anyone with two eyes can see: that Trump is unteachable, unreachable, dangerous, and manifestly unfit for the office he holds.
They can’t prevent him from holding indoor rallies in COVID hotspots filled with thousands of unmasked followers — a spectacle guaranteed to horrify and alienate anyone who isn’t a dead-ender.
Most importantly, President Trump’s enablers can’t wish the coronavirus nightmare away, or make it disappear in a cloud of conspiratorial OANN vapors.
The virus is going to do what it is going to do, and it seems likely that by election day at least 200,000 Americans will be dead from a virus that many peer countries were able to contain or at least prevent from spiraling out of control like this.
Classic Stantis lame, I’ll keep the phone; soon the POS will be gone. However, that stank ain’t comin’ off da GOP anytime soon, what with their exponential growth in Q-Anon, Republican candidates.
It’s the per capita, folks, per capita! 4% of the world’s population, 25% of the world’s deaths due to COVID. And as noted above, Republicans now “cooking the books,” trying to keep COVID deaths from being reported.
No one has done as badly as the U.S. against COVID, by orders of magnitude, except Brazil and Britain, where Trump look-alikes have been in power.
Amazing. Tom Pain in his tirade gives the prime example of an emotionally unstable person who can’t handle those with differing opinions, along with a failure to handle the basic facts of existence, such as a pandemic. With great adolescent insults along the way. But then, neither can his Great Leader in the White House.

It does remind me of a joke someone told me decades ago. Something like this:
A man was traveling down the road when he got a flat tire. He got out to change it. Hubcap off, lug nuts off, off with the old, on with the new.
Suddenly, the hubcap slipped away, into a ditch or something, taking all the lug nuts with it.
The man was scared. He wasn’t sure how he was going to get home.
These were the days before internet and cell phones.
Suddenly, he heard voices. He looked up and saw a fence.
One voice behind the fence said, “Take one lug nut off of the other three tires and put them on this tire.”
What a genius idea! And, it worked!
Wanting to thank the person who gave him the advice, he looked to the fence once again, only to see a sign: Mental Institution.
The voice came through the fence one last time:
“What did you expect? We’re crazy, but we’re not stupid!”

If the election goes wrong, the American experiment is over.
If it goes right, it will still take half a generation to repair the damage inflicted by Trump and His Disciples.

His allies cannot save the president this time.
They can’t go back in time and make him take the looming coronavirus disaster seriously in February and March.

News flash, deaths are a trailing indicator…
When they rise again, it is exactly too late.

The power of populist nationalists.
The power to make us all third-world countries.

Throwing away your phone is like boycotting the library because you don’t like one of the books.

Trump was elected in a “perfect storm” of favorable circumstance. He will go down in a “perfect storm” of his own ignominious actions.
