Donald Trump Will Go Down In History As The War Crime President

Trump Panics As Military Wants Him Sidelined In War

FACT: Every single time, Donald Trump threatens to destroy Iran’s - or any other nation’s - civilian infrastructure (bridges, hospitals, desalination plants, etc.) and/or threatens to “annihilate” the people/country of Iran, he is committing a war crime. 

Genocide and Incitement:

Threatening to "wipe out" or annihilate a civilization may be categorized as a threat of genocide. Under the Genocide Convention and the Rome Statute, "direct and public incitement to commit genocide" is a crime, regardless of whether the act of genocide is actually carried out.

International Humanitarian Law (IHL):

Threats to destroy a "whole civilization" or its essential civilian infrastructure violate the Geneva Conventions. These rules require states to distinguish between combatants and civilians; threatening an entire population is considered an indiscriminate attack, which is a war crime.

Prohibitions on Spreading Terror::

Under Additional Protocol I of the Geneva Conventions, "acts or threats of violence the primary purpose of which is to spread terror among the civilian population are prohibited".

In times like these, it’s just too bad that being a person who carries out - or, who threatens, repeatedly, to carry out war crimes and has the means to do so - doesn’t face the potential consequence of being hung by the neck until dead, or execution by firing squad.*

(*We aren’t forgetting about you, Bibi Netanyahu, or your and the IDF’s numerous atrocities carried out against- and your genocide of the Palestinian people and war crimes in Iran, Lebanon.)

Collateral Damage From The Iran War Includes Far More Than Higher Gas Prices

One predictable casualty of Israel and the US attacking Iran has been fiery and explosive attacks on water-desalination plants, oil refineries, as well as shipping and oil tankers in the Persian Gulf.

These incidents haven’t just been disastrous because they’ve led to higher gas prices…

 (Almost $4/gal? Quelle horreur! 😆 Quit your bitching: In Cali, gas has been $4+/gal. since early 2021 and, now, is over $6/gal).

The bombing, setting ablaze, and sinking of oil tankers and refineries in the region is a solely human-caused environmental disaster of epic proportions, which is affecting and will affect marine, human, and wildlife for generations to come.

Here’s how:

• Toxic air quality: Plumes of thick black smoke from burning tankers and refineries contain sulfur dioxide, nitrogen oxides, and fine particulate matter. Residents of Tehran have already reported oily, black “rain” and widespread respiratory issues.
• Water scarcity: Attacks on desalination plants and the risk of oil spills clogging intake pipes directly threaten the primary water supply for millions of people.
• Food security: Contamination of fisheries and the destruction of coastal habitats endanger the livelihoods of fishing communities for generations.
• Critically-endangered species: The world’s second largest population of endangered dugongs, as well as green and hawksbill turtles have significant numbers there. Past spills have led to near total-annihilation of turtle populations.
• Habitat destruction: Oil spills have disastrous effects on coral reefs, mangrove forests, and seagrass meadows.
• Arabian Peninsula is a major migratory crossroads: Smoke and explosions are disrupting their routes, and oil-coated feathers lead to mass drownings and hypothermia for thousands of sea birds.

IF you can, please support one or more of these organizations that work tirelessly to preserve marine habitats and rescue marine and avian life affected by Middle Eastern conflicts, including potential oil spills and environmental damage from the 2026 Iran war:

• the International Fund for Animal Welfare (IFAW), which works on oiled wildlife, 
• Sea Shepherd Conservation Society, which protects marine ecosystems
• WildAid also supports marine enforcement
• World Wildlife Fund (WWF): Engages in global conservation efforts that can include habitat protection
• Marine Megafauna Foundation (marinemegafauna.org): Actively monitors and works to protect large marine species, such as whale sharks and manta rays, which may be impacted by military vessels and underwater noise in the region.

Avian and migratory birds:

• Congress of the Birds: This group specifically works on rehabilitating seabirds in the region, focusing on those affected by the ongoing bombings and environmental degradation

Local NGOs: 

• Persian Wildlife Heritage Foundation (PWHF): A non-profit that applies science and fieldwork to conserve wildlife and habitats within Iran, involving local communities in conservation efforts.

• Plan4theLand Society: Focuses on the conservation of wildlife and biodiversity, including educational programs like "Eco-Kids" that highlight endangered marine species like the hawksbill sea turtle.
• Iranian Cheetah Society (ICS): While primarily focused on land mammals, they are a key player in broader Iranian wildlife protection and biodiversity monitoring
• Thank You!

The REAL Reason Donald Trump Agreed To Join Israel’s Unprovoked Bombing Of Iran

The REAL Reason Trump Agreed To Join Israel and Bomb Iran:

Everyone who’s been paying attention, knows that Donald Trump is easy to manipulate because he’s “Mr. Transactional/Mr. Quid pro quo”.

Trump sycophants, the American people, and all of humanity - both individually and collectively; local, state, and foreign governments; allies, frenemies, adversaries, and every country on planet Earth only hold value to Mr. Transactional, Donald Trump, IF they have something that he wants/covets. (e.g. rare earth, minerals, a Moscow location for Trump Tower, beachfront property, etc.).

Between 2012 and 2013, when war criminal Bibi Netanyahu informed then-President Obama that the IDF (“Israeli Defense Force”) was going to strike Iran’s nuclear facilities, President Obama pushed back, urged diplomacy, and rightly-argued that such a strike would not prevent future nuclear threats, and, it would likely destabilize the entire region.

Result: War criminal Netanyahu backed down. Likely due to a combination of internal opposition within their own security establishment and because war criminal Netanyahu was well aware of how heavily-dependent Israel is on the US for financial support, cutting-edge offensive weapons, and military aircraft. And, creating a sharp rift with Washington would not serve their needs in the long run.

Fast forward 12 - 13 years to 2026:

War criminal Netanyahu informs Mr. Transactional Trump that the IDF was about to strike Iran’s nuclear facilities.

Not only that, but, war criminal Netanyahu wants Mr. Transactional Trump to order the US military forces to join Israel by initiating an unprovoked, unjustified, and illegal war against Iran.

This time, instead of choosing to do the logical, rational, strategic, and right thing - as President Obama had previously and successfully done - by saying, “No.”…

I’d wager that war criminal Netanyahu offered, or Mr. Transactional, Donald Trump, himself, negotiated a plan with war criminal Netanyahu in which Mr. Transactional would agree to order US forces to join Israel by going to war against Iran - and, thereby, become their willing accomplices/partners in war crimes…

But, he would only agreed to do so IF war criminal Netanyahu promised to give Mr. Transactional the green-light to begin the planning and construction of a “Trump Riviera” (on top of the bombed-out and bloodied remains of homes, businesses, communities, bodies, and the graves of tens of thousands of innocent Palestinian men, women, children, and infants who have been mercilessly-slaughtered with impunity by the IDF during Israel’s decades-long genocide of the Palestinian people) afterwards.

Bet.

Mea Culpa.

I know that it’s been a while, and I apologize for my extended absence.

My explanation for it is that I knew that IF I were to dive into writing and posting in response to every anti-American, anti-Constitutional, anti-rule of law, anti-democratic thing that the still illegitimate POTUS Donald J. Trump - or his highly-placed, incompetent, morally-bankrupt minions and sycophants - said or did, THEN,  I would, undoubtedly, spend my every waking moment (and then some) tirelessly doing so. Which would’ve eventually lead to me losing my beloved, extraordinarily-creative mind, to my starving to death mid-keystroke, or both.

So, here goes… something (drumroll 🥁, please)… 

I cannot look at or listen to Trump’s corrupt, Deputy AG Todd Blanche, without fighting back a powerful urge to projectile vomit… 

Preferably and ideally onto Todd Blanche, himself, at the exact moment when he is standing before the cameras and smugly continuing to disrespect and lie to all of the Epstein survivors and to all of us, while he, simultaneously, continues to permanently stain and dishonor the once well-respected Department of Justice, whose career prosecutors were known for going after the “worst of the worst”, and who enjoyed a virtually flawless conviction record.*

(*Unless, the “worst of the worst“ happens to be extremely wealthy, Epstein class, (mostly) white (mostly) men who are heads of industry, members of royalty, hold various titles and/or occupy positions of power from around the world, and/or who are “friends”/enablers of the still-illegitimate POTUS Donald J. Trump, and who sponsor, participate in, and/or protect from accountability, the global exploitation of- and sexual abuse of children - with impunity, and/or who knowingly and voluntarily do business with such universally-detestable and abhorrent individuals.

SNL: Colin Jost in Weekend Update: Biden Calls for Background Checks

The "Other Guy" is G-O-N-E. 😂

And, I'm BAAAAAACK. 🤩❣️

Coincidence?  I think not. 🎉🍾🎊🎇🎸💖 

The sublime Colin Jost (co-host with Michael Che) in Weekend Update on last night's episode of Saturday Night Live:

"And, Republicans please stop pretending this is a Second Amendment issue, and just admit you love guns more than people you don't know.

These are your political ads.

You look like you're running for the president of ISIS.

If you actually cared about the Second Amendment, you'd care about the "well-regulated militias" part.

I don't know if you noticed - when they almost hung you two months ago - but our militias aren't super "well-regulated"."*

*The only thing I'd add: "BOOM." (mic drop)

Chrystul Kizer Is A Victim/Survivor: Drop All Charges & Help Her Heal!

"Kizer wasn't the only girl Volar sexually abused. In February 2018, Volar was arrested on charges of child sexual assault after a 15-year-old girl called 911 from his house, saying he'd given her drugs and was going to kill her.

Despite finding evidence in his home that Volar was sexually abusing about a dozen minors — including "hundreds" of child sexual abuse videos and more than 20 videos of Volar with underage black girls — he was released without bail(!) the same day(!)."

The above circumstances prove that local law enforcement and the district attorney were well aware that Volar was sexually abusing numerous, underage, Black girls. Kizer being only one of them. That local law enforcement released a known multiple child sex-trafficker out on the same day that he was arrested - on his own recognizance - and without setting a prohibitive bail so as to keep him from continuing his criminal, child-focused, sexual-predator behavior is unconscionable.

Kizer is a victim/survivor of child sexual abuse/child sex trafficking. She's a traumatized, repeatedly sexually-abused child. She needs and deserves specialized help: medical care, counseling and support to help her build a healthy, safe life. Society and local law enforcement and the "Justice" system had been put on notice about Volar - a child called 911 from his home, where a not-insignificant amount of evidence of his activities was gathered - and they all let her abuser walk free on the same day, to be free to continue abusing KIzer and other underage girls.

What Kizer - and other victims/survivors or sexual abuse/sex-trafficking - do not need or deserve is to be held in jail (for two years in Kizer's case) awaiting trial for first-degree murder.

Kizer's circumstances place her well within the guidelines for an affirmative defense.

What else does society/law-enforcement/the "justice" system expect her to do:  Call 911? That was already done. Notify law-enforcement? That was already done. Provide evidence for a successful prosecution of Volar? That had already been done. Run away? She was a child. Runaway children often end-up being sex-trafficked - which was already happening to her.

Kizer had no way out of her hellish existence. And, when she took matters into her own hands, that was quite obvious. She had started dating someone and didn't want to continue to be forced to have sex with Volar or any other men. So, when he attempted to force himself on her by pushing her to the floor and trying to rip her pants off, she managed to free herself, grab a gun, and permanently stop a repeat child sexual predator that no one else who had the authority and who knew what he was doing was willing to stop.

This bears repeating: a repeatedly raped/trafficked/traumatized, 17 year old, Chrystul Kizer stopped the child sexual predator/rapist/trafficker who had not only been raping and sex-trafficking her, but also numerous other underage, Black girls.

If she hadn't stopped him, then, he would have continued his child-raping and child sex-trafficking until somebody stopped him.

But, the problem with waiting for that to happen is that - obviously - no one else was going to stop him. And, sex-traffickers are well-known for killing girls that are problems for therm  And, why wouldn't they? There's always more where they came from.

This also bears repeating: Local law enforcement and the so-called-"Justice" system had caught Volar - literally - in the act of drugging a child in order to rape her, and they'd found proof of repeated child sexual-abuse, if not sex-trafficking. And, what did they do? They set him free - on the same day he had been arrested - with no bail required.

That thoughtless, reckless, unconscionable action proved to Kizer and any of the other abused girls that no one in authority was going to help them.

So, I ask again: What was Chrystul Kizer supposed to do?

Was she supposed to allow him to continue raping and trafficking her and other underage girls? Was she supposed to just take the abuse and cling to the hope that the authorities would decide - at some point - to, maybe, do something about him?

No. And, No.

Local law enforcement and the Justice system not only let Chrystul Kizer and the other girls down but, through their utter and complete dereliction of duty, they gave Volar a 'Get Out Of Jail FREE' card and left Kizer and the other girls at his mercy... of which he had none.

Kizer did what the "Justice" system should have done for her and the other girts. She stopped an evil, p.o.s., repeat child rapist and child sex trafficker. Not just for a few hours to inconvenience him, not for a few days, not for a few years, but for good. Truly "For Good". The traumatized Kizer made sure Volar could never rape or traffic her or any other girls ever again.

Bravo! She deserves a medal. She deserves the Key to the City. She deserves a freaking parade.

And, Kizer and the other girls are owed apologies from local law-enforcement (for not protecting them from Volar - a known child sexual predator/trafficker) and from the DA (for not protecting them from Volar - a known child sexual predator/trafficker).

Drop any/all of the unjust, heartless and ridiculous charges of any kind that she's been held on. And, I do mean "drop them". Don't knock them down to 2nd or 3rd-degree murder. Don't knock them down to manslaughter. Drop the arson and the charge related to driving off in Volar's car, too.

Chrystul Kizer was 17 when this happened. She was a child. She was horribly, traumatized. The "Justice" system - which had let her and the other girls abuse continue - charged her with 1st degree murder for thinking about and then killing her abuser when he, for the nth time, attempted to rape her.

She and the other girls need intensive help and therapy, not punishment.

She did what the law and justice systems refused to do: She stopped a very bad man from continuing to to very bad things to children.

Considering the fact that those entrusted with the duty of protecting children from violent, sexual predators failed beyond belief to do so, then those same authorities have no right or justification to punish her for saving herself and the other girls from that hell.

What the authorities owe Chrystul Kizer and the other victims/survivors - at the least - is to ensure that they all receive adequate, professional help.

Stop punishing girls and women who find themselves in the position of ending their sexual abuse/torture/trafficking by whatever means possible and/or necessary.  Especially when those charged with protecting them have failed to do so.

Do It. Now.

Cyntoia Brown-Long Is Speaking Out In Support Of A Teen Sex Trafficking Victim Who Killed Her Abuser

WE'RE ALL DOOMED - Trump vs. Biden ft. "Weird Al" Yankovic

Hello Friends:

Yes, it's been a while. Too long, in fact.

Witnessing Donald Trump's and his GOP-enablers debauched dismantling of America's 200-something year old experiment in Democracy, their dung-soiling of her global reputation and influence, their abysmal bending-over for Vladimir Putin (Hello? Trump STILL has done nothing about those Russian bounties for dead American and Allied troops!), their obsessive-compulsive keistering of unqualified, inexperienced, and unfit, RW jurists into federal benches, their compulsive lying, Trump's utter unfitness, narcissism, and prioritizing of self-dealing over speaking the Truth and taking effective, science-based, nationwide actions to save the lives of hundreds of thousands of Americans from COVID-19 (207,000+ dead and counting), the GOP's demonstrably-treasonous aiding and abetting of Trump's numerous, demonstrably-treasonous acts... smh.

Please join me in visualizing and praying / wishing / hoping / asking / working for Trump's illegitimate (Hello? Trump asked for and accepted the aid of Vladimir Putin and Russian Intelligence during his campaign - That's not only cheating, it's treasonous.) and, thankfully, brief occupancy of the Oval Office to be successfully & legally annulled ASAP.

(sigh)

Yes! The past nearly four years have been a ridiculously-rough road for the vast majority of us.

But, that said, this is NOT the time to let yourself or anyone around you feel despondent, depressed or to consider giving-up!

That's what treasonous Trump and his treasonous future co-defendents want us to do.

Louisville Police Released Breonna Taylor's Incident Report: It's Four, Mostly-Blank Pages.

Re: The unjustified shooting death of 26 y.o. EMT, Breonna Taylor (a civilian), in her home by three plainclothes, unannounced, "no-knock" warrant-using, Louisville Metro Police Department officers in Kentucky, 3 - 4 months ago:

I'm not suggesting there's an official cover-up going on. Nor am I suggesting any conspiracy theories, whatsoever...

But, the official LMPD incident report released to the public consisted of four, mostly-blank pages and, it "... lists her injuries as "none," even though she was shot at least eight times and died on her hallway floor in a pool of blood, according to attorneys for her family."

Does that make any sort of sense to you?

Louisville police release the Breonna Taylor incident report. It's virtually blank

The UK Government Was Given Evidence That Trump Was In Putin's Pocket. They Chose To Ignore That Evidence In Favor Of Pursuing Their Own Political Goals.

BREAKING NEWS:

Former MI6 (Military Intelligence) agent Christopher "Steele said that he had handed over a dossier on Trump’s links to Russia in 2016, but that “no inquiries were made or actions taken thereafter.”(!)

Of course they weren't (*sigh).

*Thank you, ever so much: Theresa May and Boris Johnson!

Can you say, "Russian Asset"?*

I knew you could!

* IF you simply and objectively look at the accumulated evidence (even just the evidence that's been public-knowledge) Donald Trump's public statements, official decisions and actual actions all manage to serve Putin's and/or the Kremlin's interests:

1.) NATIONAL DESTABILIZATION/GLOBAL WEAKENING of these United States (Trump gleefully engages in throwing gasoline on- and/or fanning the flames of- division (racial, political, educational, economic, etc.) between Americans (textbook methods to "Divide and Conquer"); Trump's support of BREXIT; vocal and public support of RW/extremist/racist/xenophobic/repressive/anti-democratic politicians/governments in European countries and other ally nations.

2.) WEAKENING of the European Union (supporting BREXIT; supporting/promoting RW/extremist/racist/xenophobic/repressive/anti-democratic politicians/governments; threatening to pull out of NATO; pulling American security troops out/ opening the door for Turkish troops to pour into previously-peaceful, Kurdish rebel-held territories, facilitating the Turks' taking over and freeing ISIS terrorist prisoners, attacking/killing of our historic allies in the region - the Kurdish rebels - whom the Turks openly villainize and encourage violence towards; withdrawing American troops from Germany, etc.).

3.) WEAKENING of- and/or abolishment of NATO ("North Atlantic Treaty Organization") (by threatening to pull America completely out of NATO; pulling troops out of Germany - actions which actively-remove significant amounts of historically-successful deterrence - as well as layers of security - that have kept Putin and the Kremlin from carrying out it's historic and decades' long love of military aggression and geographic expansion; et. al.).

Regardless of whether Trump's gratuitous (Trump is a fanboy of- and is submissive to-  Vladimir Putin and a number of other violent, anti-Democratic, journalist-assassinating, whistle-blower-assassinating , authoritarian dictators; he took Putin's cat-that-ate-the-canary-smiling denial of Russian 2016 election interference over the entire U.S. Intelligence Community's evidence-based findings that Russia had definitely interfered in the 2016 election - in order to get Trump into the White House, where he could proceed to do/has actually done Putin's bidding), embarrassing (see: 2016 election interference, et. al.) and national security-damaging (see: revealing confidential, national-security information to Russians in the Oval Office (which endangered the lives of American and Israeli intelligence agents and assets), 2016 election interference, et. al.), servitude to Vladimir Putin and the Kremlin is voluntary (i.e. Trump's is neck-deep in numerous, documented, multi-million dollar, Putin- and Russian oligarch-related interests like his long-held desire to erect a "Trump Tower" in Moscow - a project which he denied and lied to Americans about prior to the 2016 election) or involuntary (extortion: video, audio, photographic)...

It's still... well... Treason.*

(*The "Cold War" with Russia continues, so, yes, it does meet the requirement for legal use of "treason".)

So, please, take a deep, cleansing breath - or several... wake-up, and smell the Reality.

IF ONLY FOR the sake of the continued existence of these United States of America and for the re-ignition of our once globally-gleaming beacon of Democracy.

Evidence of Russia's 'likely hold' over Trump was covered up by the UK government, according to a former British spy

Donald J. Trump Has Been Tested And Found Wanting

Yesterday, at his disappointingly-attended inaugural campaign rally in Tulsa, OK, Trump promoted his (it-would-be-funny-in-a-Saturday-Night-Live-skit-but-it's-deadly-in-a-President) common-senseless plan to "slow the testing down" (national COVID-19 testing), because, apparently, in his Adderall-addled mind, doing so would reduce the number of COVID-19 cases.* 

(*This is the same person who, initially, refused to let a cruise ship dock in Oakland, CA, and let passengers disembark because it had been reported that some of them had COVID-19. And, Trump objected to letting those American citizens set foot on American soil and, thereby, raise the number of American COVID-19 cases. Cases which Trump has viewed and continues to view through his malignantly-narcissistic lens as "his" cases - not America's or Americans' - and, therefore, he considers them to be demerits against him).

Almost immediately afterward, Trump campaign spokespeople, his administration, Congressional Republicans and other Trump loyalists were all hurriedly backpedaling and downplaying Trump's ignorant statements. They all repeated their worn-out and broken-record explanation that: "He was just being 'tongue-in-cheek'". Those Trump-apologists are shameless and dishonest.

To date, at least 120,000 Americans (and counting) have died from COVID-19. If we continue on our current path of viral-denial, then, the number of Americans killed by COVID-19 is expected to reach 200,000 by September. So, making such remarks - even if intended to be "tongue-in-cheek" -   isn't even the slightest bit funny. It's callous, insensitive and utterly out-of-touch with the clear, present, highly-contagious and very deadly threat that the Trump administration - through their slow response, inadequate actions, and continuing inaction (not empowering the Defense Production Act to force U.S. companies to manufacture still scarce and desperately-needed PPE for front-line workers. He did it for meat-production, but refuses to do it for Personal Protective Equipment production) allowed to infiltrate and decimate so many of our fellow Americans (particularly in under-served communities of color).

In our current, collective, connected reality, the number of COVID-19 cases and hospitalizations have been on the rise in many U,S. states. Despite this worrisome fact, VP Mike Pence just penned an op-ed in which he declared that there's "no second wave" of COVID-19 in America.

Well, he's absolutely right (I know. I can't believe I'm saying that, either). But, it's true. There is no second wave in America, at present. But, the reason for that is because America hasn't made it through the first wave... not yet.

And, as this May 15, 2020 article (below) proves, Trump's rally, yesterday, wasn't the first time that Trump has put his science-challenged thought processes on display and declared that, "if there was no testing, there would be no cases".

Hospitals, ICUs, and funeral-homes across the country would collectively and vociferously-refute such demonstrably-false claims.

Trump Seems To Think There’d Be No Coronavirus If There Was No Testing...

The Donald J. Trump Death Cult And It's Aftermath...

(I wrote the following blog entry exactly one week ago, as I walked my dog along empty streets framed with boarded up storefronts, the rare passerby (most wearing a mask and social-distancing, nervously). I had finished it before I'd made it back home...

Every single person/entity that voted for the utterly incompetent and unqualified Donald Trump for President in 2016...

Every single person/entity who donated to Trump’s 2016 campaign...

Every single person/entity who supported Trump in any way/shape/form...

Every single member of the U.S. Representatives and every single U.S. Senator who ever turned a blind eye/acted as if they possessed deaf ears/refused to fulfill their Oath of Office ("Protect and Defend the U.S. Constitution from all enemies - foreign and domestic") and/or voted to install incompetent and/or unqualified people as agency heads or as federal judges and/or voted for that $2 trillion tax break for millionaires, billionaires, and big corporations and/or voted to give away billions of dollars in "small business loans" to wealthy corporations and/or refused to vote to impeach Trump and/or refused to remove the justifiably impeached Trump from office...

Each and every single one of YOU has contributed to and/or played a part in making this ongoing, completely-avoidable, national public health and economic disaster possible.

Each and every single one of YOU has enabled and encouraged the malignantly-narcissistic, sociopathic, fantasist that is Donald J. Trump to continue to occupy the most powerful position in the country and in the entire world... even though this full-grown man continues to whine and complain about and attack those who criticize his unconscionable inaction/callous indifference/endless self-praising... as he continues take actions that only benefit his wealthy donors, big corporations, himself and his family... as he plays golf and holds campaign rallies while this far-from-"invisible" enemy continues to spread out - unabated and unmitigated - across the United States... despite the fact that Donald Trump empowered the Defense Production Act to force COVID-19-riddled meat-packing facilities to keep producing meat products... while our heroic, and  essential front-line medical and other workers continue to fulfill their job duties despite experiencing a continuing lack of desperately needed and, yet, inexcusably rare PPE (Personal Protective Equipment), which Donald J. Trump could empower the DPA to manufacture in the U.S. - right now ... YOU have all had a hand in creating the circumstances that allowed these once-avoidable and, now, excruciatingly painful (in loss of human lives) and massively damaging (economically) events to take their shocking toll on all of US.

There are, now, well over 1.5 million cases of COVID-19 and counting in the United States of America.  There are, now, at least 98,000+ and counting COVID-19-related dead Americans in the United States of America.

And, ICYMI ~ ALL of this very real, human loss and pain and all of the long-term economic suffering that has/is resulted/resulting because YOU have allowed Donald Trump to continue to corruptly-occupy the Office of the President of these United States of America... ALL of the unnecessary and utterly avoidable death and destruction wrought by Donald J. Trump's abysmal response to a viral threat that the entire world saw coming in January and February... the responsiblity for all of it falls on - not only him, but - ALL of YOU, too (regardless of whether or not you accept that responsibility - it's still YOURS).
