    The goal should be to slow the rate of infection and spread things out. Many millions *will* be infected and have to ride it out. The idea is not to take a huge spike in hospitalizations the way that Italy did. That leads to hospitals being completely overwhelmed as well as higher infection rates among the caregivers. We need to be striving for a long slow rate of infection instead of a sudden spike that blows things wide open. The problem is that the six weeks that we could have been putting in policies to help mitigate that spike have been squandered. I am desperately afraid that the huge spike is coming and that it is too late to prevent it. Proper policies are now being put in place, at least to some degree. Take charge of it in your own life, try not to be a part of the first wave.

    I don't know when I have read as complete a dismantling of Trump as this one from a Republican who served under three Republican presidents. It's one helluva read.


    “Mr. Trump has no desire to acquaint himself with most issues, let alone master them” is how I put it four years ago. “No major presidential candidate has ever been quite as disdainful of knowledge, as indifferent to facts, as untroubled by his benightedness.” I added this:

    "Mr. Trump’s virulent combination of ignorance, emotional instability, demagogy, solipsism and vindictiveness would do more than result in a failed presidency; it could very well lead to national catastrophe. The prospect of Donald Trump as commander in chief should send a chill down the spine of every American."

    It took until the second half of Trump’s first term, but the crisis has arrived in the form of the coronavirus pandemic, and it’s hard to name a president who has been as overwhelmed by a crisis as the coronavirus has overwhelmed Donald Trump."

    And the absolute killer line:

    "There is no one who can do to the coronavirus what Attorney General William Barr did to the Mueller report: lie about it and get away with it."

    The Trump Presidency Is Over

    There is absolutely no reason that we could not hold a vote by mail.

    Trump thought he won when he was acquitted by the Senate.
