May 23, 2020 - Saturday - a few captured thoughts. SIP Chroncles.

We emerge from of our half-hibernation,  to find the national scene as screwy as ever - if not more so. Drumpf's delay and refusal to address the pandemic in timely fashion has cost, at a conservative estimate, 36,000 lives.  Out of the almost 100,000 deaths so far, that's about a third of the deaths that could have been prevented.  A third. He has blood on his hands. And now he's trying to blame the WHO. Give me a friggin' break.

Drumpf is such a big baby that he can't wear a mask?  - Pelosi's "petulant child" is far too kind. I see that there's been some more calling out  among politicians on both sides of the aisle lately - which makes me wonder if the folks in DC can smell his fear, his weakness; they know he's going down, going to lose. Dear Goddess, I sure hope so.

For a solid take on the Vote By Mail kerfluffle, see Heather Cox Richardson's Letter to An American My name is Jocelyn Benson,from May 20, 2020.  That man can't get one thing right, can't even  use a woman's name. It's all smoke and mirrors with him, manipulation of thought and facts.

So obvious that Drumpf is planning to dispute the election if he loses, contending voter fraud and using these baseless accusations to s]defend himself. But we'd suspect it was voter fraud if he wins. So either way, November is going to be one ugly month.
