How much farther out of contact with reality does someone have to get before it becomes a psychiatric issue? If he continues to claim to be President after Biden’s inauguration, it will be no different than the comic-strip character who claims to be Napoleon.
“Alexander also argued that colleges should stay open to allow Covid-19 infections to spread, lamenting in a July 27 email to Centers for Disease Control Director Robert Redfield that “we essentially took off the battlefield the most potent weapon we had…younger healthy people, children, teens, young people who we needed to fastly [sic] infect themselves, spread it around, develop immunity, and help stop the spread.”
This goes far beyond incompetence, this shows true intent to place millions of Americans in mortal danger. This requires public trials, with sentences that involve prison time.
They let it spread in the cities because they’re democrat strongholds.
They didn’t hear 300k dead americans…they heard 250k dead democrats.
Now, the cities are recovering, they continue to take it seriously, in general, and their hospitals are well prepared.
Rural America on the other hand…. not so much.
Prison is pretty generous when you consider this is a massive conspiracy to intentionally cause the deaths of US citizens on a massive scale
A huge study of 50 years of tax cuts for the wealthy suggests ‘trickle down’ economics makes inequality worse (businessinsider.com)
Large tax cuts for the rich cause higher income inequality, and don’t fuel economic growth or cut unemployment, a new paper by academics from the London School of Economics and King’s College London shows.
Their analysis of 50 years of tax cuts for the wealthy in 18 countries counters arguments that such cuts have “trickle-down” effects for the rest of the economy.
“Cutting taxes on the rich increases top income shares, but has little effect on economic performance,” the researchers concluded.

While fundraising for the Georgia Senate runoffs, President Donald Trump is diverting 75% of most donations to his Save America political action committee, effectively allowing him to hold on to that money for future endeavors, Politico reported Monday.
The other 25% goes to the Republican National Committee, according to the donation web page, meaning the campaigns of the GOP candidates trying to hold on to their seats — Sens. Kelly Loeffler and David Perdue — will not directly get a dollar from Trump’s fundraising push.
Politico said Trump was approaching the runoffs in a similar way to how he’s been using the fundraising apparatus for his post-election legal efforts.
“The reality is Donald Trump does not care about the future of the Republican Party, so if he can raise money off of the Georgia runoffs but keep the money for his own purposes, he will do so,” a longtime GOP strategist told Politico.

The 75-25% split with the runoff donations is emblematic of a larger problem facing the GOP. Trump’s outsize influence on the party base means not only that donations for his fundraising blitz could divert money from Loeffler and Perdue but also that similar conflicts could persist after the president leaves office.
Aid for state and local governments in the US has been framed as a “blue-state bailout” by some Republicans, including Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell and President Donald Trump. That aid, in turn, has helped stall negotiations between Republicans and Democrats for any additional federal coronavirus relief funding.
The logjam over another spending package — amid the worst surge yet in COVID-19, sending a record number of people to the hospital — has prompted a coalition of local leaders in the Midwest and the Deep South to speak out.
In a statement, 150 mayors representing areas from the Great Lakes to the Gulf of Mexico rebutted the red-versus-blue rhetoric at the national level and urged lawmakers to provide what they described as “urgently needed financial relief for cities and towns that have borne the brunt of the impact from the pandemic.”
The message echoes that of Mayor Dee Margo of hard-hit El Paso, Texas, who in a recent interview with Business Insider spoke of the tension between protecting public health and ensuring the city and its businesses would not go bankrupt. “We need more help,” the Republican put it bluntly.
A $748 billion relief package backed by a bipartisan group of senators, unveiled this week, omits any support for state and local governments, focusing instead on aid to small businesses and a temporary increase in unemployment payments.
A second, $160 billion proposal (“less of an emergency but also important,” in the words of Republican Sen. Bill Cassidy of Louisiana) would provide aid to local governments in exchange for blocking most lawsuits against companies related to COVID-19. (According to a report from NBC News, McConnell said he’d drop the lawsuit-shield provision if Democrats dropped the funding for state and local governments.)
It’s a terrible thing when a toddler first learns the meaning of the word “no.” It’s a terrifying thing when that lesson has to be learned by a sitting president of the United States.

Turns out I was wrong about the Trump covid policy.
I thought the policy was always “LET ’ER RIP!”
.
It turns out it was worse than that.
Way worse.

Like the skunk image. Just needs a splash of orange paint that it got stained with while at the landfill.
Last night (12/16) an insider leaked that the Fat Orange Clown’s tantrums are getting worse. Now asking his azzsmoochers “what if I don’t leave”.
Could be the last bit of news entertainment as those designated to do the eviction decide on their tactic. Would make be lucrative Pay-TV.
I think the idiot believes “the people will take to the streets”. C’mon Proud Boys, the cameras are rolling and so are we! Popcorn is ready.

“It can’t be true because I don’t want it to be true” is EXACTLY the logic.
And that’s not sane.
We have had a President for 4 years who lives in a delusion. He’s actually mad.
Thank god we survived.
