1. Today is my anger day. I am thinking about those narcissistic fools like @SusanSarandon who urged people to protest vote.

Trump is not up to this. Competence matters. You vote for the competent, not who "inspires" you. People who couldve been saved are going to die now....

2...because we - alone among all industrialized nations - have no idea what is happening. We are not imposing containment controls for epidemics (saying "China can't come" is a way of giving extra time to develop disease management. It isn't a solution.) We are shoving people...

3...together into mass crowds at airports run by the feds as we try to find out which ones *might* be infected based on questions - many of which are no longer relevant. But everyone stopped after hanging round huge crowds could have infected dozens while waiting. We are...

4...actually doing EVERY SINGLE THING on a federal basis you are never supposed to do to get ahead of a pandemic. You *cannot* be reactive - you have to be projecting worst-case scenarios and having a plan, a backup plan, and a backup plan to get ahead of the infection spread...

5..we are weeks - possibly months - behind. Every expert I consult says, without exception, this spread is uncontrollable now. Trump and his evil minions were more concerned about lying on Fox than about keeping people safe. "Its contained, it's contained" they lied repeatedly...

6...so, rather than listening to experts, rather than looki at the distribution of spread, they spent their time on talking points. THIS was totally predictable.

Does anyone seriously believe that, if @HillaryClinton had been president, we would have refused @WHO testing kits...

7...does anyone doubt that she wd have focused on locking down areas where it was spreading - as experts told Trump to do. Does anyone doubt she never would have responded "That might hurt my reelection. That might hurt the stock market. I want the stock market talking point"...

8...does anyone believe that Hillary would have allowed for changes in the ACA that have thrown millions of people off of their health insurance? Those same comfortable people with nothing at risk who said "Im protest voting because I want universal healthcare" didn't CARE how...

9...many people would lose their health insurance because "purity and preen to my Facebook friends."

Make absolutely no mistake. These self-centered, narcissistic sociopaths like @SusanSarandon put this monster in office, and many more people will die now than might have....

10...disease management is challenging. It cant be done by some moron spending his time commenting on his favorite TV shows, or demanding that the Justice Deparment investigate the media for "market manipulation" by reporting on COVID-19 (yes, he did that.) He didn't READ....

11...what was happening, he didn't listen to experts, he didn't consider anything. He didn't care until stock prices fell.

Everyone outside of Cult45 knew what he was. But "protest voters" wanted to preen. And now people will die who might have been saved.

And REMEMBER....

12...these bastards are doing it again. "Biden is in the klan, he wants to sell America to corporations if Bernie doesnt win, its because everything is rigged & Im protest voting."

If you do that, seeing what is happening now, youre not just a narcissist. Youre a psychopath.
