"That the pandemic occurred is not Trump’s fault. The utter unpreparedness of the United States for a pandemic is Trump’s fault. The loss of stockpiled respirators to breakage because the federal government let maintenance contracts lapse in 2018 is Trump’s fault. The failure to store sufficient protective medical gear in the national arsenal is Trump’s fault. That states are bidding against other states for equipment, paying many multiples of the precrisis price for ventilators, is Trump’s fault. Air travelers summoned home and forced to stand for hours in dense airport crowds alongside infected people? That was Trump’s fault too. Ten weeks of insisting that the coronavirus is a harmless flu that would miraculously go away on its own? Trump’s fault again. The refusal of red-state governors to act promptly, the failure to close Florida and Gulf Coast beaches until late March? That fault is more widely shared, but again, responsibility rests with Trump: He could have stopped it, and he did not.

The lying about the coronavirus by hosts on Fox News and conservative talk radio is Trump’s fault: They did it to protect him. The false hope of instant cures and nonexistent vaccines is Trump’s fault, because he told those lies to cover up his failure ggto act in time. The severity of the economic crisis is Trump’s fault; things would have been less bad if he had acted faster instead of sending out his chief economic adviser and his son Eric to assure Americans that the first stock-market dips were buying opportunities. The firing of a Navy captain for speaking truthfully about the virus’s threat to his crew? Trump’s fault. The fact that so many key government jobs were either empty or filled by mediocrities? Trump’s fault. The insertion of Trump’s arrogant and incompetent son-in-law as commander in chief of the national medical supply chain? Trump’s fault."

Waukesha, Wis., has one (1) polling station open today. It's a city of 70,000-plus.

I actually think the SC made the right call on the voting case, legally - perhaps not morally. It's not on the courts to cover for a messed up election department. And it isn't like they won't be doing social distancing at the polls. And what else do people have to do today besides voting? It's absolutely true Republicans lose when more people vote, and perhaps people will finally wake up to that fact. But you can vote with a provisional even if you applied for an absentee late. And to be clear, I have a problem with ANY changes to election rules or eligibility within six months of an election that routinely happen. We need a 50-state Voting Rights Act that establishes a clear floor that all states must abide in order for consistency. Paper ballots, early voting options, an instant appeal to a federal judge when any state, locality or official changes eligibility of voters and consistent tabulation procedures.

Exactly. I’ve always been amazed that the word federalism effectively means the supremacy of the states.

I have an idea - I know these are tough times and we're all upset and frustrated but how about we stop posting things about death and killing people? It's really not cool, even in a joking manner.

I'd like to keep this thread open, I think it is really important in an election year and with all that's going on.

But stop with the "hunt Republicans" and other such stuff. If you really truly need to vent in that manner, don't do it here.

I apologize, Moddy. I am old enough to realize that if one SOB gets his, all that happens is another worse one replaces them.
