Obama slams Trump's attacks on the Postal Service, says the current administration is 'more concerned with suppressing the vote than suppressing a virus.'

These lives matter. Most of them could have been saved if Trump was competent. Assman doesn’t care.

Wouldn’t it make sense that the state with the most people had the most cases?
If we had a national 30-day lockdown in March-April , we’d be on the other side of this .. And we would have saved 3-5Trillion.. A clusterfuck for the ages, truly remarkable ..

Is it a surprise that Matty can’t grasp basic math principles? I think Newsom has made some serious mistakes in how prepared we were for reopening. But if you look at facts—number of cases per million people, these are the facts:

California is 21st among the states, at 15,732, which is below the US total, 16,737, and 9 southern states. Trump voters do appear to be the dumbest of the dumb.

California is just over half the level of Louisiana, at 29,413. Florida (26,522) and Georgia (22,149) are still making a run for the top, with cases increasing faster than LA.

Matty, you wouldn’t recognize a fact if it crawled up your ass. The most positive fact about what happened when we flattened the curve is that the medical community figured out how to treat COVID-19 in a way that has reduced the death toll. They found a two drug combination that works reasonably well, and they advanced research on vaccines.

The political side was largely a failure, starting with Trump. He sat with his thumb up his ass for six weeks when that would have saved, some estimates say, 90% of the lives. He undermined state efforts at procuring PPE and testing, as well as wearing masks.

None of you wing nuts, even the most arrogant know-it-all mrgybe, will answer my question, “What has Trump done right?” You know the answer is almost nothing.
