COVID COVID COVID

Did Joe Biden win this race or was he an innocent bystander recruited to fill the leadership void created by a President who was self-destructing over a virus called COVID-19?

Before the election, he told a rally audience of maskless, distanceless supporters that his problem with the press was that all they could talk about is "COVID, COVID, COVID." as if he was a more important story than a pandemic that has taken over 238,000 American lives and infected 10 million of her citizens.

Your health is everything, without it, nothing else matters. Think about that, how can you support your family, your friends, your employer, and your country while lying in a hospital bed under a ventilator.  We must defeat COVID first if we have any chance of rebuilding our financial infrastructure. This is not chicken or egg, this is life or death.

COVID has been Trump's nemesis, it's no wonder; it stalks his campaign, his WH staff, his Vice President's staff, and millions of Americans who follow his example.

COVID stalls our economy, COVID threatens our health, COVID kills our citizens, COVID causes cultural disruption, job loss, and industrial dysfunction, especially for small businesses. 

Yes, Mr. President, you should shout "COVID, COVID, COVID" it has ended your presidency.

"Fairy tales are more than true: not because they tell us that dragons exist, but because they tell us that dragons can be beaten."

Neil Gaiman

This pandemic may not be a fairy tale, but the dragon exists, it's called COVID-19 and it can be beaten.  

This is about a fresh start, it's about trusting the experts, the science, and the professionals in government. It's about compassion and empathy and the ability to lead by example, not personality. It's about responsibility and ethical governance; it's about JOE BIDEN, a moderate Democrat, without the ultra-liberal baggage.

The voters have exercised their constitutional duty in record numbers and the results are in, all the results, Joe Biden, the Irish Catholic kid from Scranton, PA, a professional politician with 40 years of experience has been elected President of The United States of America with a historical plurality.

Throw in the sponge Mr. President, do the right thing for once in your life and save us the angst of watching you twist in an agonizing storm of defeat, concede, like a man.

CHAOS REVISITED

  " a state of utter confusion or disorder; a total lack of organization or order." Isn't four years of this enough, seriously? The constant media drumbeat, TRUMP TRUMP TRUMP, dominating the headlines, the news shows, and our conversation. This did not happen by accident, this was a calculated strategy by a certified narcissist. "Narcissism:  a mental condition in which people have an inflated sense of their own importance, a deep need for excessive attention and admiration, troubled relationships, and a lack of empathy for others." The Trump supporters say that "this is just Trump being Trump" that, my friends, is precisely the problem. Now that he's lost the election and his sycophants in Congress have replaced their horns with silence, if not acceptance, wouldn't you think the man would suck it up, acknowledge the inevitable, exhibit a modicum of humility and devise an exit strategy that would highlight his accomplishments not feed his  addi...

A TALE OF TWO CITIES~A REIGN OF TERROR

"It was the best of times, it was the worst of times, it was the age of wisdom, it was the age of foolishness, it was the epoch of belief, it was the epoch of incredulity, it was the season of Light, it was the season of Darkness, it was the spring of hope, it was the winter of despair, we had everything before us, we had nothing before us, we were all going direct to Heaven, we were all going direct the other way--in short, the period was so far like the present period, that some of its noisiest authorities insisted on its being received, for good or for evil, in the superlative degree of comparison only." Charles Dickens Paris in the 18th Century was in turmoil, it was the reign of terror, the French revolution was raging the atmosphere was chaotic. Washington, DC in the 21st Century is in turmoil, the pandemic is raging and the atmosphere is chaotic. Is this an analogy?  Maybe, but we need to fill in a few gaps.  Paris in 1789 was suffering from unemployment, hunger, and p...

THE LAST HURRAH

https://youtu.be/IJthTSCYJ7g The party's over It's time to call it a day They've burst your pretty balloon And taken the moon away It's time to wind up the masquerade Just make your mind up the piper must be paid The party's over The candles flicker and dim You danced and dreamed through the night It seemed to be right just being with him Now you must wake up, all dreams must end Take off your makeup, the party's over It's all over, my friend
