through Labor Day. But by Thanksgiving, I hope that we are thankful that Joe Biden will take over in less than 2 months.

And we’d still be far out ahead of them. And everyone else’s cases are dropping while ours are increasing.

It’s pretty obvious there’s a large part of our population engaged in magical thinking and won’t believe any of this till it happens to them or their family. At the rate we are going soon everyone will know someone who have gotten sick. And the economic impacts have really not shown up in the magnitude that’s coming.

so far better than us that they would need to be twice the size of China to match out infection and death numbers.

Kinda wish he had put Brazil and Mexico on there too, but you have to draw the line somewhere.

It is so essential that Biden win this election. If Trump tries to steal it, or somehow successfully steals it, I think that might finally be the thing that pushes this country over the edge. I shudder to think. Donald, just fucking go. Go the fuck away. Quit this fucking crap. Hey, how about a LIVE in primetime address from the Oval, where Donny pulls out a handgun and ends it all?!?! Would be the best ratings ever!!

This is how fucked up things are these days.

Remember back in March and April when it seemed like Italy was out of control?

Seems almost quaint now.

The callousness of Donald J. Trump knows no boundaries.

I curse him to rot painfully in hell for eternity and beyond.

The Country has never needed anyone like it needs Joe.

Why, exactly, do you want them included? Do you think it's because their cases exceed ours? Some last grasp to protect some ideal of American exceptionalism, a way to say that 'Well, at least we don't have the most cases!'.

India is at 1.1 M cases. Far below our numbers - And thats before accounting for their having almost 4x the population to boot!

China is at 83k cases. With again, having far more people in their country than we do. Still though, doesn't matter how many cases they have - Everyones just going to call their numbers fake, no matter what they are.

Our country fucked up. I get it, some people don't want to admit to that shame. But Joe Biden has the decency to admit to our countries stunning failure, and we should follow his example.

that this is just the start of the outbreak.

In the not too distant future, we will look upon these current times as the good times.
