Darkest Dirk: we are nearing the point that NY, Cali, MD MA will need to close their borders and hoard their own supply.
Blue State voters will not forever tolerate sending emergency fund bailouts to criminally stupid red state leadership.
Never in my life could I imagine the Mass. or NY National Guard defending shipments against federal requisition ... until this week.
Putin has always tried to push "exit" Calexit, Brexit, Blaxit as a way to divide and weaken. Our enemies love that Trump is weakening the bonds if the UNITED States.
It's not just that Trump is a poor leader. Trump and his brain trust are intentionally leading in the wrong direction. They are pitting states and people against each other.
Trump is leading pandemic Brexit.
All those times I begged that we not focus on dumb stuff Trump says, or his fake dementia - this is why - Trump (and/or his enablers) are more than capable of doing lethal damage.
They weakened our pandemic response; they bankrupted OUR treasury; they distracted us in a million ways. It's time for cold-eyed focus. Government matters, and we have to elect leaders who will restore the union and protect our welfare.
If this continues where Trump leads, governors will be forced to evaluate the highest possible levels of asserting states' rights.
None of this has to be. Even at this late hour a coordinated federal response could move mountains. Cooperation with states is still possible.
Every state has detailed response plans to work with federal response. But no State (until now I suppose) had plans for Trump intentionally sabotaging the response.
Please be safe all. Do all you can to not catch COVID. I hope Darkest Dirk is completely wrong and I can go back to Rose Colored Glasses and #awesomedog Fridays. Dirk Out.
