But his policy all along was to do nothing , and spread the virus instead.

I'm an old retired copy editor, and agree with your sentiment, but can't help myself!

Our mission: “To Correct and Serve.”

As a J-School alumnus, I cringed when I saw that as well, but also agreed with the sentiment.

Of a cartoon in which a herd of sheep gather before a billboard depicting a wolf whose slogan is 'I will eat you!'

One sheep turns to another and says 'Hey, he tells it like it is....'

He cannot brag about a robust economy that's been sucking on the teat of red ink this whole time. No balanced budget as he promised, nor any pay down. Quite the opposite. He's added nearly something in the order of $7,000,000.000.000.

Robust economy. MY ASS!

But at 300,000 dead heading for half a million, with the Republican leadership calling for herd immunity at a sacrifice of millions of people, even if achievable, let's call it was it is: A holocaust.

Like Wisconsin's Republican legislature: no Covid help. Only obstruction and lawsuits. As we are dying.

has failed its people! This Country NEEDS A BLUE TSUNAMI .... to wash away this problem. Imagine a super Majority, and that our government ends up with a Democratic House. Senate , and Presidency.

We may need those things, and we may get close this time, but the pendulum swings back because RW Propaganda is a powerful force that influences the minds of people who will not think.

69,814 cases, exceeding the previous mid-July peak. So it's not just an outlier one day spike kinda thing.
