OK, I'm gonna say it:

I know what you're thinking. 'Did he fire six shots or only five'? Well to tell you the truth, in all this excitement, i kind of lost track myself. But being that this is a .44 Magnum, the most powerful handgun in the world, and would blow your head clean off, you've got to ask yourself one question: 'Do I feel lucky?' Well do ya, punk?

No not this one, but close. I think there’s a bounty on American citizens that’s being paid. Why else would someone allow an incredibly dangerous disease to be left untreated, denied, untested for, and promoted through activities such as political gatherings and way-too-soon reopenings?

It’s the money. Don’t believe me? Ask yourself this question: is there a bottom to this well of behavior exhibited by this madman? Do you think you might get the disease? You have to ask yourself the question: do I feel lucky? Well do ya, punk?

We are living on the edge of the precipice.

mix of arrogance and ignorance. You can’t convince them of anything contrary to their infallible intuition.

3. OK, I'm going to say it: Trump's lack of response to COVID-19 has been guided mostly by race.

(NYT, July 5) "Early numbers had shown that Black and Latino people were being harmed by the virus at higher rates. But the new federal data — made available after The New York Times sued the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention — reveals a clearer and more complete picture: Black and Latino people have been disproportionately affected by the coronavirus in a widespread manner that spans the country, throughout hundreds of counties in urban, suburban and rural areas, and across all age groups."

The CDC numbers are staggering. Blacks, Latinos, Native Americans and Asians are being affected at rates 4 to 5 times higher than those for whites. Had these numbers been reversed, Trump and his GOP henchmen would have acted much differently.

"aggressively non-compliant" is the term used by the CEO of Jackson Medical System in Florida.

4. I've been saying the same thing. Trump's COVID response is Pay For Slay Part II.

Part I: Putin pays the Taliban to kill our troops and pays Trump to shut up about it.
Part II: Putin pays Trump to kill all the rest of us.
