      Remember that as recently as a week ago GOP Governors in states including Texas were barring cities in their states from implementing mitigation strategies like masking. https://talkingpointsmemo.com/news/gop-governors-bail-on-culture-war-give-ground-to-hotspot-cities-as-covid-cases-mount … via @TPM

      2/ There's zero question that was responding to crystal clear messaging coming from the man in the White House. It's that clear cut.

      It's difficult to describe what is really happening -- that Trump pushed for a premature opening to bolster his reelection and as a result thousands will die unnecessarily -- without sounding like a lunatic. Yet it is the truth.

          And this is twice. Willful failure to stand up testing caused probably a majority of the deaths in round one.

          They have never understood this virus. Or they would have know the assured folly of their actions.

          When the emails surface, and they always do, I will be completely unsurprised to see the undead hand of Stephen Miller here, pointing out that non-whites die at a higher rate than white people do.

          I think someone convinced Trump it would definitely go away in warmer weather, even though other corona viruses don't. He bet on that and lost.

          And we are powerless to stop President* Trump’s lethal neglect. We have to sit here and watch Americans die from #COVID19 every single day, hoping that we have enough votes to vote him out Nov 3 and force him to leave Jan 20 2021. https://twitter.com/ifindkarma/status/1275589515109732357?s=21 …https://twitter.com/ifindkarma/status/1257833775502815232?s=21 …

          This is evil: “The plan is to have no plan, to let daily deaths between one and three thousand become a normal thing, and then to create massive confusion about who is responsible — by telling governors they’re in charge without doing what only the federal government can do…”

          My rage is unhealthy at this point. He is commiting genocide against the American people and the media is talking about poll numbers and his re-election hopes. I know we have to vote him out but he should have been removed and jailed. He should be hauled in front of the Hague.

          Hundreds of thousands will die if we don’t throw trump out BEFORE the election. States with even more vulnerable populations are currently getting hit. And without the resources to fight locally, & they don’t figure in trumps’ election plans.
