We could hasten tRumps descent from his stained perch

by convincing this new collaboration of coastal, viral fighting states to replace at least some of the funds he is threatening to withhold from the World Health Organization.

Those replacement funds could be announced as a question from say Yamiche Alcindor or Jake Tapper during one of his pressers.

Wouldn't that be something, flaming out on the national stage, drooling, mumbling and spitting out "Obama...quid pro quo...Ivanka...perfect...fake...emails" while his steaming hulk was being whisked away?

Yes, not likely but one can dream.

That was merely another feeble attempt to add to the list of those who are to blame that aren’t named “Trump.”

It is often pointed out how difficult it is to define the word “irony” without just giving an example.
Such as trump’s sincerely stated claim about WHO that “It would have been so easy to be truthful.”
How could he say that straight-faced without doubling over in laughter?
