"It has taken a good deal longer than it should have, but Americans have now seen the con man behind the curtain. The president, enraged for having been unmasked, will become more desperate, more embittered, more unhinged."

AG Barr: "The United States Department of Justice will continue to ensure that religious freedom remains protected if any state or local government, in their response to COVID-19, singles out, targets, or discriminates against any house of worship for special restrictions."

...and Trump sycophants.

That these fuckers in Wisconsin lost that seat is so sweet. Imagine their panic right now. Imagine their scheming. Imagine their dead souls in the unlikely event that they examine their consciences for three seconds.

They are just an attempt to mold language in a manner appropriate for the situation.

I have great news!!!!! Yesterday the IRS deposited $52 into our checking account. Hooray, the crisis has been averted.

In about twenty or so years time Trump will be as popular with History teachers as the Nazis are today.

Imagine the sort of essay questions discussing respected commentators calling him a moron, his word salad and quotations from shitmunching baboons on Fox News et al.

I bet it will be a real fun topic, not so much fun living it though.

NYC Officials Now Counting Deaths of Those Who ‘Never Tested Positive’ in Coronavirus Totals

Following a number of missteps by local officials, New York City became the epicenter of the coronavirus pandemic in the United States. The situation there eclipses virtually everywhere else in the country. A report from the New York Times on Tuesday suggests that as bad as the situation in New York City is even worse now—with one caveat. According to their report, New York City "sharply increased its [coronavirus] death toll by more than 3,700 victims on Tuesday, after officials said they were now including people who had never tested positive for the virus but were presumed to have died of it."

What? People who never tested positive for the coronavirus are being counted in the official death toll? Why would they do that?

blithering nonsense. trump was too little and far too late.

NYC Officials Start Adding People Who Never Tested Positive To Total Deaths From Virus

The Times noted, “The C.D.C., in its guidance to local governments, has recommended that cases of ‘assumed’ coronavirus infection be recorded on death certificates since before New York City recorded its first death on March 14.”
