We're witnessing Trump and the Republican party

[duforsure]

Putting their re-elections ahead of the welfare and health of the American people. Trump and the GOP are lying daily to us, and by Trumps refusal to act when he knew, and preventing help getting to the needy, then offering only his party relief, and offering help to putin and Kim shows how little he cares about Americans , and life. Trump is behind forcing people back to work while a active pandemic is attacking us, and that should be criminal, especially while Trump and the GOP are approving then funneling billions to millionaires , and short changing direct payments to the American people. Where are the demands for HIS resignation now? If they don't approve a lot more directly to the American people the trump depression will destroy them , maybe sooner than they think. The upcoming commission looking into what they've done will expose how corrupt , and how they knew much sooner then we now know , and refused to act intentionally hurting us to use to put money into theirs, and donors pockets . Again using our money to bribe them with, and to cut all funding to social programs will be next. Poverty rates projected to skyrocket, and we are seeing very , very long food bank lines already. Trumps stiffing the American people like he's done to contractors, and refusing to help . Who will he attack and blame today? Anyone but himself. Tired of his excuses and lying, while people are dying . Resignation time .

1. I really think it will work. People are going to get desperate when they have no money

and that is what the shut down does. They won't look for the cause. They will want the politician that promises getting them back to work.

There are no good answers.

2. People are going to be more desperate

when they go back to work and die.

12. Exactly

4. President cat grabber, as a pathological narcissist, is incapable of resigning as it would

be an acceptance of criticism and shame. He will fight to the end by lying and attacking all who criticize him.
Republicans are unafraid of being collaborators by his side and will protect and defend him. With a compromised election process they will probably maintain the white house and senate.
We should all vote, and do what we can, but I am not hopeful.

5. Your first sentence.....

is spot on...but....Republicans have been doing precisely that since the Gingrich revolution.

6. I hope President Biden conducts a thorough investigation and punishes the guilty.

I don't want another disappointment like when Obama refused to prosecute bush and cheney for war crimes!

7. He's a

Murderer. He needs to be arrested or 25th invoked

11. Glenn Kirshner says

" INVOLUNTARY MANSLAUGHTER APPLIES" AND/OR CRIMES AGAINST HUMANITY

[bdamomma]

13. Exactly

and welcome to DU! Be safe

8. They are making a losing bet. Trump vs virus? Bet on the virus winning. Meaning of exponential is

... nuanced. Reaperpublicons famously don't do nuance. tRump doesn't even know what it means.

He and they think it means "bigly" and "hyuge". It doesn't, even though many people of all stripes use it that way.

It means compounded growth. But they think, okay, we had X deaths, so that's about as bad as it is going to get. Then another state blows up.

14. Repugs do this all the time.

Remember Bush's phony alerts of "terrorism high today"? "Be afraid. Be very afraid". Fomenting Anti-Muslim fear?

They're all wrecking balls. This one is a bulldozer but they have all try to tear down Democracy from within.

15. There has been some good news of people coming to their senses lately

The press on both sides is feeding this because it makes for emotional news. I know Fox will play it up but not sure the regular news should even be paying attention to the few hundred nut job demonstrators or their nut job president. He gobbles up any kind of attention and those demonstrators are a small minority. Tiny. I think it would be better to just ignore them. And him, obviously.

16. This reveals the repubs have thoroughly digested & absorbed the fact that they must cheat to win

It is so ingrained in everything they do, that they don’t even care anymore about looking as if they want a fair election.

17. The question becomes....

At what point do you pick a side and decide force is necessary? He’s not only destroying the country, he’s also going after the planet.
