Looks like Memorial Day 2020 will be the day we reach 100K Dead Americans.

[sheshe2]

Memorial Day may hold a whole new meaning this year. We have always honored the dead that served this country even when the wars were not honorable.

The past few months we have been fighting a new war. One that this president declared while calling himself a 'war President'. He said we are fighting a silent enemy, one that was not visible. That is a lie. It was not silent or invisible. We were warned, he ignored the warnings. It was not invisible to all that bothered to look as bodies fell and the virus spread to critical mass as hospitals were overwhelmed and all critical supplies denied.

These 100K were not soldiers. They did not enlist to fight a war. They were citizens that were attacked ruthlessly and were left on their own by a president that swore an oath on the bible to protect them from all enemies.

They have names. They have families. They have someone out there who is mourning them.

1. Trump hasn't referred to himself as "The War President" since he surrendered a while back.

Suffering 100,000 needless casualties while "War President" isn't something the POS wants to mention, I guess.

2. Yes, he has.

Trump labels himself ‘a wartime president’ combating coronavirus
"Now it's our time. We must sacrifice together, because we are all in this together, and we will come through together," the president said.

President Donald Trump on Wednesday began to invoke the rhetoric of “a wartime president” as he told reporters he views himself as one, while his administration fights to contain the spread of coronavirus and mitigate the economic fallout from the global pandemic.

“I do, I actually do, I'm looking at it that way,” Trump told reporters during a press briefing at the White House when asked whether he considered the U.S. to be on a wartime footing. “I look at it, I view it as, in a sense, a wartime president. I mean, that's what we're fighting.“

Trump has repeatedly referred to U.S. attempts to battle the virus — which has sickened thousands across the U.S. and killed more than 100 — as a “war” against an “invisible enemy.” But during Wednesday’s briefing he went the furthest yet in adopting the rhetoric of a commander in chief during wartime.

At the top of his remarks, the president pointed to the havoc the virus has begun to wreak on the economy, telling reporters in the White House briefing room that the pandemic would require a response unseen since World War II.

4. I stand corrected. I didn't think even Trump could be so brazen.

[sheshe2]

5. Thank you, thank you, sop.

Yep. He is that brazen.

3. Could Be A Day Sooner

Worldometer has us at 98,683 today.
Could be the day before memorial day.

[sheshe2]

6. It is confusing.

I watch CNN and they have 96,662. They report from John Hopkins Institute.

I wish there were not so many discrepancies. *Sigh*

7. Been That Way The Whole Time

Hopkins, plus one day is usually really close to the same.
But, Worldometer can't be reading the future!
It's frustrating that data collection of something as binary as death isn't consistent.
