“America is yet another institution bankrupted by Donald Trump.”

Can we take a moment to reflect that Mitch McConnell, who felt that the administration was not doing its part (in the Senate) to curtail a deadly disease, chose not to call out that administration on its failures for over two months? Has Mitch just (unknowingly) admitted to be a contribuiting factor in how this administration has allowed a virus to run amok?

Give me a moment and let me explain:

(1) Mitch McConnell chose not to be at the WH since August 2020 because the administration was not following guidelines.

(2) Since August, people continue to test SARS-CoV-2 positive, with hundreds of COVID-19 deaths, because there are lax social distancing guidelines across our country.

Furthermore, millions are continuing to be laid off and continue to go food insecure (1/6 adults) or rent insecure (1/10 adults) because of this virus.

(3) There are no standard local and state social distancing guidelines across our country because the administration in power chooses to visually represent themselves in a way that is anti-mask, anti-social distancing, and anti-science.

(4) Mitch Mcconell didn’t agree with the administrations in-house guidelines for months but chose not to point it out until the (entire) WH GOP became infected!

Did I get my facts right?

Someone correct me if I am wrong but this interview came out October 8, two months after he felt that administration was not doing it’s part to ensure everyone’s safety.

Right?

Two months?

213,000 dead.

Millions of jobs lost.

Mitch McConnell is a contagious tumor in this administrations cancerous growth.

So if you didn’t catch this mornings shitshow, it went basically like this:

The CDC put out its official recommendations and requirements states should meet before reopening schools.

Trump went to twitter, shitted on the CDC recommendations, demanding that k-12 schools fully open up in the fall. He threatened to cut federal funding if they do not.

Then the coronavirus task force held a press conference, minus Fauci, because he’s on the President’s shit list.

Betsy Devos said she really really really wants kids back in school. She does not know how to do this, offered no suggestions. Just that they need to open, and leaves it up to local officials to figure it out.

Vice President Pence said children are resilient. Basically made out of cartilage with healthy lungs. They probably won’t get sick, so we shouldn’t worry about them. There is also no disagreement between the CDC and Trump. Trump wants schools to open, and just doesn’t want the CDC’s guidelines to be the reason for schools not opening?

Yes, he actually said he doesn’t want states to keep their schools closed just because their own CDC says it is not safe to open.

So the VP says, don’t worry, let’s bring up the Director of the CDC to clarify. -And I could‘ve sworn I heard this guy gulp off camera.

But the director of the CDC comes up and says he also wants schools to open safely. He said he likes his job and wants to keep it, therefore, he is also in full agreement with Trump, despite the guidelines they released hours before.

So then Dr. Birx comes on and says half the country has seen a surge of new cases. The country is worse off than it was back at the start of all this. She said they should return to phase 1 and start all over.

Now, an astute reader may wonder how do half the states return to phase 1, and still expect to open by fall? Good question. ….. And while you were thinking about it, Birx tries to leave the podium.

But before she gets away, Pence stops her, suggests she ‘talk about that other thing about the children’. She hesitates, then agrees.

She comes back up to the mic, says most children probably won’t die. Maybe 0.02%. And usually the ones who die were already sick, so you parents at home may want to keep an eye on them. Oh- and we have virtually no data on how transmissible the virus is in children because we’ve barely tested any of them, but let me get out of your hair.

Pence comes back and says, see, we’re good here.

————————-

So while all that is going Cuomo is holding his own press conference.

He says I don’t even give a shit what Trump is saying. It’s not worth responding to the clown. States control school openings, and we will do it as safely as possible, end of discussion.

Other states blew off our warnings, and now they are paying the price. You want to fix your states? Pull your heads out of your asses and follow our example.

—————————

And Fauci has gone total rogue. He has been giving interviews across the media spectrum, politely telling anyone who will listen that following trump’s orders regarding the Coronavirus will lead to certain doom. Death and economic disaster on a scale never seen before. Please turn back while you still can.

And now you are filled in.

Is it any wonder I can’t sleep?

Btw kids and totally get the virus and currently one of the quickly growing groups of cases is teens soooooo

And the stuff they are proposing to keep people safe is literally impossible and not safe. And 0.02% is still at least TENS OF THOUSANDS OF KIDS
