I heard the clip on Morning Joe, and would like to see it go viral. A reporter should ask Rump about it at his evil clown reality show “briefing” today.

(most especially today) of our nation's unwillingness to spend a buck.

Nevermind that spending bucks is good for the economy... it's often good for the physical well-being of our citizens.

We are an inherently stupid nation - anti-science has been ascendant since Reagan and despite breaks in Clinton and Obama, the Reagan, Bush I, Bush II and Trump administrations have been on an accelerating run downhill in this regard.

They doubt science and believe myth.
They act like they 'know' what to do, in reality they haven't a clue.

This time is different because THOUSANDS are DEAD, MILLIONS are impoverished and there is no true end in sight...sure, NYC may be slowing new cases, but that is not true nationwide...

This disaster SHOULD turn the tide and awaken the spirit of the Enlightenment that inspired our forefathers and led to the Constitution and the idea of America. That idea has been under relentless assault almost from the start...we cannot allow it to be silenced by criminals, thieves and sociopaths.

I'm now sharing it near and far.

We are not better off than we were 4 years ago.
