About a month ago I posted this; We are witnessing the results. [View all]

I posted about how Trump gutted our entire government, including the agencies that protect us. Not only did he gut them funding wise, he left thousands of positions vacant. Then Trump did something so bizarre, so reckless, it is now killing people. He put people in charge of our government agencies who were completely unqualified. Their one and only job was to gut the agency they were put in charge of.

The news media underreported what Trump was doing to the government. Now we are seeing the results. Trumps fake administration does not have the ability to respond to a major crisis. They cannot protect us. This could lead to a catastrophic event that I predicted could take place.

Good luck everyone, I hope I don't die until after I see Trump removed from office and then indicted. It would really suck if I died from the virus that Trump completely mishandled. I work in healthcare, taking care of the disabled. I cannot stay home. I could quit and look for another job, but that's risky when you're my age.
