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.

A mourner at a funeral home in NY took this photo of room overflowing w/ bodies.

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).

Global Warming vs The U.S. House Of Representatives

The U.S. House of Representatives Committee on Space, Science and Technology is filled to capacity with dazzling examples of what can be found mouldering in the shallowest end of the human gene pool.

Republicans Back Away From Call To Impeach Obama (Yawn...)

As I've said before, I don't read the newspaper or watch the news.

I haven't done so for many years and my mental health thanks me for it, daily.

That said, I do pick up on "hints" of things that are going on.

Recently, one of those hints I picked up on was that Congressional Republicans were talking about Impeachment of the President (Again? Still?).  I rolled my eyes and thought, "What?  More B.S. wasting of taxpayer money and wasting time Congress should, instead, be utilizing to actually accomplish something worthwhile? (Sigh.) At least they're consistent."

Now, I'm picking up hints that the GOP are blaming all the chatter about "the I-word" on the Democrats and a "fundraising scam".

Here's where it all started: Florida (What a surprise!) Rep. Ted Yoho.

If Democrats raised funds because of it... Good for them!

Congress:  Stop wasting Everyone's time and money and go do your jobs!

House Republicans Willful Refusal To Raise Debt Ceiling: Is It A Bluff?... Or Treason?

Congressional House Republicans have been ignoring/downplaying/denying what not only would be but, in fact, already are some significantly damaging effects of their party's unwavering refusal to raise the debt ceiling...

What they don't seem to understand is that, by their uncompromising action (or inaction) and the single motivation/intention behind it (if they actually follow through with the threat) they will, ultimately, go down in history as being the sole cause of America going into default...

Unless, that is, they're just Huffing & Puffing & Bluffing (A likely scenario - one which is already causing unnecessary damage to our economy and our nation.).

Regardless, they're being silly.

Well, no... they've been silly. Now they're being ridiculous...

*No, Representative Mo Brooks (R.) of Alabama ~ The United States Of America's global credit rating will most definitely NOT improve if House Republicans cause our country to go into default (And, may I add: "...You Moron.").

Recently, when thousands of Americans defaulted on their home loans, I didn't hear of a single bank or mortgage company that raised their credit ratings as a reward for doing so... did you?

The Simple Reality is simply this: These (irrational? incompetent?) GOP assholes will (obviously) stop at nothing - including potentially throwing our economy into yet another tailspin - if they think it will reflect badly on our sitting Democratic President.

That's been their unabashed, self-proclaimed goal from day one - not "Jobs. Jobs. Jobs."

Simply Put: Actions speak louder than words.

Stop listening to all the rehearsed rhetoric.

Do one simple thing: Look at/Watch their actions (or inaction).

I don't know about you (though I'm certain that I'm not alone) but I have One Word  for their abhorrent behavior: Treason.

Here's a brief clip from the July 20, 2011 The Rachel Maddow Show. It includes a quick diary entry penned by the one and only late President Ronald Reagan - on the day he'd met with an up-till-then uncooperative Congress about raising the debt ceiling during his Administration (they did so 18 times in that period).
