61,504 dead. The president of the United States addresses a grieving shaken nation:
say what you will about him, you have to admire the quiet strength and dignity he brings, a real understanding of the moment and his place in it
the office changed him, it really did

the gravity, almost—dare we say?—the nobility

you can see how it weighs on him, each death

60,504 isn't a number to him

each of them is an individual he carries

today is the day he truly became president

The notion that 60,000 dead is tragic is a partisan notion now.
To agree that 60,000 deaths are tragic is to wonder why it happened.

To wonder why it happened is to know why.

To know why is to blame the parties responsible.

And for millions the parties responsible are their Gods.
When your God kills somebody, you make a story. The story is about how the death happened for the best, or how the dead deserved to die.

We're watching millions of Americans decide which story to tell.

Sometimes they tell both at once.

Imagine if these people ever faced actual oppression.
Imagine they didn't clearly know that police brutality is something reserved for other people.
Imagine instead they lived with an innate sense, delivered to them at a young age, that in most places they would be assumed a threat, where their very presence, however benign, might draw immediate lethal response.

Imagine they didn't think of the world as their possession.

This is exactly the sort of self-serving quid pro quo for which he was impeached when he did it with a foreign government through back-channels. Now he’s doing it to the states on TV, using a global pandemic as leverage.

They must impeach him.
Remember when after Hurricane Sandy President Obama refused to send emergency assistance to New Jersey until Gov Christie did him a favor, remember that.
They have to impeach whether there are votes or not, because if they don’t impeach then none of these offenses are impeachable.

They should never have stopped impeaching him the last two years. It’s to their great shame they only did it once.
