monitoring Trump and relevant contemporary events

deeply ingrained socioppathy rears its ugly head again.

Just put a picture of Trump on them and call them "Trump Respirators". They'll voluntarily go to the end of the line.

the second part of his post is purely stupid opinion and insulting to boot as well as factless.

Once again you are trying to violate the First Amendment for fun.

Why do you hate America and the Constitution?

The facts are the facts.

I live in the US, and live under our laws.

Whatever you wish to do about your ex- leader is up to you.

untrue,

as usual.

WaPo and the NYT have been and remain newspapers of record because they have wide ranging reliable sources and they fact check, neither of which the rabid right screeds of opinion you cite do or have.

A health epidemic threat requires a united effort by all governors of all states, and does not come down to decisions by just the executive branch of government.

The Congress shall have Power To lay and collect Taxes, Duties, Imposts and Excises, to pay the Debts and provide for the common Defence and general Welfare of the United States; but all Duties, Imposts and Excises shall be uniform throughout the United States

The Congress shall have Power......

Direct any criticisms you have at congress.

Pelosi dragged her feet for a week...

Because the “Ratings” of my News Conferences etc. are so high, “Bachelor finale, Monday Night Football type numbers” according to the @nytimes, the Lamestream Media is going CRAZY. “Trump is reaching too many people, we must stop him.” said one lunatic. See you at 5:00 P.M.!

Had Pelosi simply given a green light to McConnell's Senate bill, it would have been been a giant slush fund for large corporations.

Every time the country faces a crisis, real or perceived, there is a rush in Congress to pass massive bills that go far beyond responding to the matter at hand. These phonebook-sized (if I can use an anachronism) emergency acts are too long and detailed for any legislator to read and fully comprehend, but you can bet they are stuffed with gimmicks, giveaways, sweetheart deals and ill-advised policies with no bearing on the crisis itself.

Perhaps the most troubling sections of the bill are under the rubric ‘‘American Coronavirus/COVID–19 Election Safety and Security” or ‘‘ACCESS” Act. This section would impose requirements on states for early voting, voting by mail, required mailing of absentee ballots to everyone, ballot harvesting (i.e., having third parties deliver absentee ballots), online voter registration, same-day registration and other practices which undermine confidence in the integrity of the ballot. In these days of increasing threats to election security we should be moving rapidly back to in-person paper ballots, but this bill would be a radical step in the wrong direction.

...pushing for less voter registration, same-day registration and other practices which undermine confidence in the integrity of the ballot.

You seem to be very complimentary of Trump's "leadership".

As the Senate debates were hitting a wall, the Speaker of the House of Representatives, Nancy Pelosi (D-CA) introduced a Democratic proposal from the House. This 1400-page bill was explicitly not a bipartisan bill, and was pretty clearly intended to outline a Democratic vision for the country against that of McConnell’s Senate Republicans. This is what pundits on the right are citing as evidence the Democrats were making extreme demands for passage of the larger coronavirus bill (for example, it provided that internet companies could not cut off service for those who could not pay during the coronavirus, a provision that got twisted in right-wing emails to a demand for “free internet”), but there was no actual attempt to pass this bill. Instead, the Senate negotiators began to talk in earnest, and the Democrats got their primary concern taken care of in the Senate bill: it would have oversight of the $500 billion fund for businesses. An independent inspector general and an oversight board would oversee the dispersal of funds.

"The president has been laying the groundwork to blame everyone from Dem governors to GM for whatever negative outcomes there may be — a strategy he's deployed throughout his career and presidency, a GOP strategist said."
