A Strange And Terrible Lesson

 Monday, November 23rd, 2020


My Dear America:

Good God, Can it be true that at this crucial point in time Donald Trump has finally and completely lost the support of Chris Christie.  It must be true.  I saw a video this morning of Christie clearly telling Donald Trump that he needs to think of the Country rather than just the Republican Party.  The sad truth is that Donald Trump does not care about the Republican Party.  He also doesn't care about the Democratic Party either.  After all, he was a Democrat until 2016 when he accurately figured that he had a better shot at becoming President by running as a Republican.  

Certainly Donald Trump does not give a damn about the Country.  Christie's pleas are falling on deaf ears.

I wish that it might be true that losing Christie could actually get Trump to realize that his dream of World Domination is over.   Even before Trump had sown up the Republican Party Nomination for President in 2016 Chris Christie had puckered up his lips and attached them to Donald Trumps Ass for what appeared over the years to be forever.  Well, I guess Chris Christie's folding is better than nothing.

Slowly, Bit by Bit and One by One, it might be hoped that Republicans will finally do what Christie, to his credit, has done and tell Donald Trump to get out of the way so that Joe Biden can begin the Presidential Transition that should have taken place long before now.  So Far, Liz Cheny, Senators Mitt Romney and Ben Sasse have voiced their concerns about Trump standing in the way of progress.  Not many others.

Where is Mitch McConnell and when will he and other Republican Lawmakers do their part to keep Democracy alive in America.  Are they truly Okay with the prospect of Donald Trump Stealing another Presidential Election backed by the Russians.

The Coronavirus Pandemic is now at its peak with over 257 Thousand lives lost, most of them needlessly, and what is clearer and clearer every day is that Donald Trump has done nothing about slowing Covid 19 down and has no plans to begin to do anything about slowing it down other than having a Vaccine.  Certainly Trump continues to see the Pandemic as nothing more than a plot to mess up his Re Election. He tried to ignore it, hoping it would go away or that no one would notice that their Friends, Neighbors and Relatives were dying like flies. It appears as though he was right, though, in recognizing that Covid 19 was not going to do anything to enhance his Re Election chances.

Although Donald Trump does not want to admit it, he lost the election decisively to Joe Biden.  The results of the Presidential Election, despite Trump's blatant attempts to slow down the mail, among other despicable election suppression tactics, brought victory to Former Vice President, Joe Biden.

As we sail toward 300 thousand Covid Deaths why can't Trump get the hell out of the way, For Gods Sake.  You have killed enough people Donald.  You are truly a Mass Murderer of Epic proportions and as you stand in the way of Joe Biden actually doing something about Covid, you are continuing to kill people.

I will never understand the hold that Donald Trump has over so many of his followers.  Despite the fact that many people in states like North Dakota are personally experiencing people they know, sometimes even family members dying of Covid, some people are still acting like wearing a mask is some sort of treasonous action toward Donald Trump.  

People wake up.  This man does not give a damn about you or your friends or your family members.  He cares only about himself.  Why can't you see that?

We are living in some mixed up and dangerous times.  That's for sure.  Clearly no one in their right mind wants to wear a mask every time they go outside.  I certainly don't want to.  But if a mask is going to help to keep you and other people you care about from dying, wear the damn mask, at least until the vaccines are distributed.

Truly, help is clearly on the way, at this point in the pandemic.  Possibly the only thing that Donald Trump did right throughout his four years in office was to push for Operation Warp Speed, which was an extremely accelerated process to develop Covid 19 vaccines.  

At least three Vaccines seem to be effective and almost ready to go very soon.  Clinical trials seem to have shown all of the three to be highly effective when used correctly.  

So lets stop the nonsense involving masks and social distancing and wake up to the reality of recognizing what and who is important to us.  We need to protect ourselves and those we care about.  We need to wear masks, wash our hands and stay six feet apart from one another until we can get the Vaccine and get through this horrible pandemic.  When it is available we need to get the vaccine and go on with our lives in a country in which our Future President will be trying to keep us alive rather than trying to kill us.

In addition to the mantra: "Make America Great Again"

Lets also add: "Make America Sane Again"


Sincerely Yours
