"It is what it is", "She took the bait", "It will go away", "I've done more for blacks than anybody except maybe Abraham Lincoln." Such are the tweets, bleeps, and eructations from our great leader. The last in defense of his refusal to attend any services for John Lewis. The others in total abdication of any responsibility in and for the Coronavirus pandemic, including condemnation of Deborah Birx for her belated honesty. Although she warned vulnerable cities and regions by "confidential" phone calls in an attempt to straddle the loyalty picket fence. Yesterday was the anniversary of the signing into law of the voting rights act by Lyndon Johnson, the significant enforcement provisions which have been scuttled by the Supreme Court. A subversion of the very things that Martin Luther King and John Lewis fought for.
The subsidizing of the Kanye West pied piper candidacy with taxpayer money is accompanied by the subversion of the U.S. Postal Service to break down the reliability of mail-in voting. Voting fraud estimates begin with three 0s behind a decimal point (.0003). My personal Rxs are delivered through the mail and the post office comes through in a timely fashion, but I can readily see that delay in delivery of cardiac, anti-diabetes drugs, pulmonary clearing drugs, etc., can and will result in unneeded fatalities. But to monomaniac political aspiration none of this matters. This is the behavior of an authoritarian regime. Asthma sufferers, renal disease sufferers, acute infectious disease sufferers, etc., will now unnecessarily utilize beds reserved for non-Covid cases.
