What has Trump done to this country?

This is the most succinct -- and brutal -- Republican rejection of Donald Trump that you will ever read

This is the most succinct -- and brutal -- Republican rejection of Donald Trump that you will ever read

For all of the words that have been written and spoken about -- and by -- Donald Trump, it's often difficult to put a finger on what makes his presidency so incredibly abnormal.

www.cnn.com

I just had too pull this passage out of that fine article, because it is point on.

"Donald Trump has been the worst president this country has ever had. And I don't say that hyperbolically. He is. But he is a consequential president. And he has brought this country in three short years to a place of weakness that is simply unimaginable if you were pondering where we are today from the day where Barack Obama left office. And there were a lot of us on that day who were deeply skeptical and very worried about what a Trump presidency would be. But this is a moment of unparalleled national humiliation, of weakness.
"When you listen to the President, these are the musings of an imbecile. An idiot. And I don't use those words to name call. I use them because they are the precise words of the English language to describe his behavior. His comportment. His actions. We've never seen a level of incompetence, a level of ineptitude so staggering on a daily basis by anybody in the history of the country whose ever been charged with substantial responsibilities.
"It's just astonishing that this man is president of the United States. The man, the con man, from New York City. Many bankruptcies, failed businesses, a reality show, that branded him as something that he never was. A successful businessman. Well, he's the President of the United States now, and the man who said he would make the country great again. And he's brought death, suffering, and economic collapse on truly an epic scale. And let's be clear. This isn't happening in every country around the world. This place. Our place. Our home. Our country. The United States. We are the epicenter. We are the place where you're the most likely to die from this disease. We're the ones with the most shattered economy. And we are because of the fool that sits in the Oval Office behind the Resolute Desk."

132 days left until we can ATTEMPT to get back to some sense of normalcy, but you know (at least I think I know) that Trump & his policies will take a decade too undo

He really fucked this country up, big time.

MAGA?

He fucking destroyed it

Americans Need to Know the Truth About William Barr's Friday Night Massacre. We Can't Afford to Wait
BY JOYCE WHITE VANCE
JUNE 22, 2020 4:52 PM EDT

Vance is distinguished professor of the practice of law at the University of Alabama, a former U.S. Attorney for the Northern District of Alabama and an NBC News and MSNBC legal analyst.

Although the office of the Attorney General and the U.S. Attorneys came into existence in the early days of the Republic, the Department of Justice was created by an act of Congress 150 years ago today.

Justice, as the last few weeks of nationwide protests have reminded us, is imperfect and aspirational. But the tradition of the Justice Department has been to move forward and expand protections to life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness over time. Instead of honoring the best traditions of the Justice Department on the occasion of its birthday, the current incumbent of the Attorney General’s office chose to dishonor the department he took an oath to serve this weekend when he clumsily attempted to fire Geoffrey Berman, the U.S. Attorney for the Southern District of New York, by lying and saying Berman was resigning.

In December 1940, Robert Jackson, a much revered Attorney General who went on to be a Supreme Court Justice, called all of the U.S. Attorneys across the country to the District of Columbia for an august assembly he called “one of the most powerful peace-time forces known to our country.” Jackson told his top prosecutors that while there should be some national uniformity in policy, “t is an unusual and rare instance in which the local district attorney should be superseded in the handling of litigation, except where he requests help of Washington.”

That tradition of independence from Washington’s control in the prosecution of criminal cases became inculcated in the culture of DOJ in the following years. While the department might establish nationwide policies on both substantive and procedural issues, the conduct of a specific criminal case was largely reserved to the appropriate U.S. Attorney in their respective district. The independence of the U.S. Attorneys contributed to the public’s perception of their integrity and this freedom from political interference was central to the mission of doing justice.

From Bill Barr’s first steps as Attorney General — foisting a false narrative about the Mueller report on the American people in an effort to protect his new boss — Barr has been willing to forsake the traditions of DOJ that protect the integrity of its prosecutions in the service of Trump’s interests. If he ever truly was an institutionalist who believed in the rule of law, something his proponents claimed during nomination, he lost his way a long time ago. And perhaps nowhere has this been truer, or at least more blatantly public, than with Barr’s initial failed attempt and subsequent successful firing of the U.S. Attorney for the Southern District of New York, an office so protective of its notorious independence that it is widely referred to as the Sovereign District of New York.

As we all now know, Barr first claimed that Berman had resigned, which he knew was not true. After Berman refuted the claim on Twitter and legal scholars pointed out only the President could fire a court-appointed U.S. Attorney like Berman, Barr had to resort to telling Berman the President had fired him. Although the President denied he was involved, Berman stepped down once it was confirmed that his deputy, a career prosecutor with serious chops, would fill his shoes, at least for the moment.

U.S. Attorneys serve at the pleasure of the President. Although Berman’s situation was unusual because he was not Senate-confirmed, even with this quirk, there were legitimate ways Trump and Barr could have chosen to replace him. So the real question is, why did Barr concoct the transparent lie about Berman resigning? It was almost sure to come to light, despite Barr’s late-Friday-night gambit. Why did Barr subject himself and Trump to ridicule and controversy to get Berman out of the way? The answer to that question is important. The independence of the Justice Department and its U.S. Attorneys may well turn on it.

Maybe trump is impervious to corona since that virus has to compete with all the other fucking diseases he is carrying.

Walking petri dish ...
Diabetes vs dementia vs fat arteries vs anal fissures vs gonnerhea vs throat cancer from vlad penis .. etc.

Seriously hard to believe he hasn’t gotten it.
Guess satan helped.

 

[hanimmal]

Ari Melberg on MSNBC is playing the crowd at this event Trump is going to, and it is crazy. It's a pretty small mea church, but it is like he has carnival crazies walking around. They even have a big bodybuilder taking pics giving a big old hug selfies. It is like watching some weird social experiment in real time about pandemics and cults not mixing.



To steal a line from @hillbill (pretty sure anyways)...

Jonestown.

When they build the Donald J Trump Presidential Library, and for some bizarre reason they must & will (who the fuck will want it?), they should have a Memorial wall built with all the names of all the citizens he has essentially murdered, yea, I say murdered, thru his incompetence and arrogance dealing with COVID-19, written down for posterity to remember what he did to this country & those poor souls that he had the opportunity to help save, but didn't, simply because he was a fool.
What was it that has been my statement for the last 4 fucking years?
Oh yea, that's right!!!!!
May he fucking rot in hell.

America's mask resistance is just the latest example of a perennial struggle

If you live in a country where the balance between personal rights and collective well-being falls differently, you might consider the refusal to wear a mask to be pure selfishness.
