Trump is not even a good liar.
He is too stupid to be a competent liar, much les a good liar.
His appeal is to racism, and to greed. The greedy rich get more money, and the racist 90% of his voters see Trump being an open racist.
Trump can openly say what many really wish to say openly.

Kamala Harris' New Video Fuels Running Mate Speculation
From the article:
Senator Kamala Harris’ new video has led to speculation she’s auditioning for vice president. Joe Biden has said he will choose a woman as his running mate.
The California senator released the video on Twitter on Friday. This is usually a slow news day and perhaps an opportunity for Harris to garner attention she wouldn’t otherwise get during a busy news cycle.
“Right now we need a president that speaks truth, embraces science, and lifts people up,” Harris tweeted.

Everlasting arms.

Georgia is reopening this week.
And on Rachel Maddow, we see that COVID19 cases are increasing rapidly all over the state.
Who will Brian Kemp, the GOP Governor, blame?
Amazing how Kemp, who claimed he did not know about the existence of asymptomatic carriers of COVID19, feels confident in reopening his state even as cases are rapidly increasing.
Almost like mass insanity is infecting the entire GOP leadership.

Key to responding to this nonsense is that the USPS is in a crisis because the GOP create the crisis in 2006. What we must do is contact our Senators and Representatives and demand that they take action to save the USPS.

Calling US Postal Service 'A Joke,' Trump Demands Four-Fold Price Hike for Customers Amid Covid-19 Pandemic
From the article:
President Donald Trump on Friday threatened to withhold all future Covid-19 relief funding from the U.S. Postal Service unless the federal agency dramatically raises its shipping prices—a demand that critics say is ludicrous given the economic calamity the American people and the post office are now facing.

Kamala Harris Shreds Trump For Wasting America's Time With Juvenile Press Briefings
From the article:
Sen. Kamala Harris (D-CA) tore into Donald Trump on Thursday for wasting the country’s time each day with childish and fact-free coronavirus press conferences.
In an interview with MSNBC’s Brian Williams, the California senator called the president “juvenile” and said he is “incapable” of providing the leadership our country needs in the middle of a crisis.

Fox News Shows A Looming Disaster For Trump As Biden Leads In Florida
From the article:
Without carrying Florida in November, it’s difficult to imagine a scenario in which Donald Trump wins another four years in the White House.
That’s why a new poll from the president’s favorite cable network, Fox News, is likely to trigger alarm bells in MAGA world as former vice president Joe Biden leads Trump in the critical swing state.
According to the survey, Sunshine state voters prefer Biden over Trump by three percentage points, 46 percent to 43 percent.

Nancy Pelosi Bluntly Sums Up Trump's Pandemic Response: "Delay, Denial, Death"
From the article:
Donald Trump gets an “F” on Coronavirus, according to Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi. The California Democrat offered a brutal summary of the President’s failures on Wednesday.
Pelosi spoke to MSNBC about Trump’s lack of preparation and the damage it had caused to the American people.
“For our seniors in nursing homes and the rest, as you say, there’s a big toll being taken there. But if we can test and contact and isolate people, we’re on a very much better path,” she said.

I have heard a rumor that Trump will also award himself the Award of the Golden Heel Spurs, with COVID cluster, for his perfect response to a crisis that no one could have seen coming.
Trump Announces He's Throwing Himself A 4th of July Party During A Pandemic
From the article:
Trump said:
The Thunderbirds and the Blue Angels crews who wanted to show support to the American medical workers who just like military members in a time of war are fiercely running toward the fight. It’s going to be great. I want to see those shows. I’ve seen them many times and I can’t get enough of them.
And on July 4th, we’ll be doing what we had at the mall, as you know. Last year was a tremendous success. And I would imagine we’ll do it. Hopefully, I can use the term forever. That was a great success, as you remember, even though it was pouring. It was raining so hard. It was raining about as hard as I’ve seen in a while. But it was an amazing success. Didn’t bother the pilots. Didn’t bother the military. Didn’t bother the crews we had there. We’re going to be doing it again on July 4th.

Since January, I have not cut my hair.
Well, to be honest, it was January of 2000. And I cut it then to raise money for a co-worker with cancer.
So the order shutting down barber shops in Illinois is not really an issue for me.
Stay safe, and stay as sane as you can be.
