  1. As a Marine veteran, my heart goes out to you doctors and nurses on the front lines of this virus. America will forever owe you all a debt of gratitude. There's no shame in having a breakdown due to fear or exhaustion. The only shame is in not getting up from it, and letting it  control you. Hold the line!!! Semper Fi.. During any emergency or crisis, you will find that some people will rise to the occasion, people like many of our Governors, and especially the nurses and doctors who have been on the front lines of this crisis since day one. And unfortunately, you will have some people like Trump, who will categorically fail during a crisis. They will not rise to the occasion. Instead they will fail at the moment of truth. In the end, the true character of a person will always be revealed when they are faced with adversity. And the eternal question will always be, what did they do when it truly mattered? “THESE are the times that try men's souls. The summer soldier and the sunshine patriot will, in this crisis, shrink from the service of their country; but he that stands by it now, deserves the love and thanks of man and woman." ― Thomas Paine, The Crisis

  2. I wish that there was a way we could somehow flatten the curve of Trump's lies,  better known as Bull sht Mountain. First of all let's be clear, America doesn't currently have a president. In fact, we haven't had a president since January 2017. What he have now is a mentally impaired con-man who doesn't believe in science or facts. And he has literally told Governors and Mayors that he's not responsible for anything, and that they are on their own during this national health crisis. Trump is now bragging about the ratings of his daily live news conferences on the coronavirus, and suggested that the large viewer numbers — rather than the multiple lies he has told during them — are fueling discussions in the media about ending the practice of broadcasting them live and unfiltered. Trump: “Because the ratings of my News Conferences etc. are so high, ‘Bachelor finale, Monday Night Football type numbers’ according to the NYT, the Lamestream Media is going crazy" Trump tweeted Sunday afternoon. Apparently this is all a game to him. What Trump's utterly oblivious, self-absorbed, Ineffectual pompous a$$ doesn't realize is that the American people aren't tuning in because of him, we are tuning in because we want to keep up-to-date on the coronavirus and the US’s policies on it. The American people are watching the press briefings to hear from the coronavirus task force, which includes top public health officials like Dr. Anthony Fauci,  Dr. Deborah Birx, and others on the task force. Trump has made dozens of false claims during the briefings, which have directly led to the loss of lives, including overstating the potential of hydroxychloroquine as a treatment for Covid-19, to falsely saying that anyone who wants to be tested for coronavirus infections can be, to claiming that the coronavirus will magically disappear, to claiming that there are no shortages of coronavirus tests, to claiming that America has tested more people than any country in the world, to claiming that the coronavirus was no different than the flu.
