Deaths of despair will outpace COVID deaths for everyone under age 60. Mark my words.
This is after record high overdose deaths during the opioid epidemic.
Surprisingly! Gosh, what a mystery. Did all of these young people start dying en masse after the spike or, OR golly could it be the massive OD and suicide spike? Stay tuned to find out from Captain Fucking Obvious. Image
These idiots are making health policy.

The best moment of the night for Trump was asking Biden why he didn’t do anything for eight years and countering that he got criminal justice reform passed among Democrats.
Biden’s best moment was somehow deflecting the foreign money stuff to put Trump on the ropes.
Trump’s worst moment was calling immigrants low IQ. Biden’s worst was a fundamental inability to think as a businessman on restaurants and plexiglass & minimum wage.

Where are progressives on the fact that this entire pandemic has been borne by those most at-risk? The most poor among us.
Kids with stable families are going to be okay. Kids without are going without mandated reporters and school meals. We had everyone patting themselves on the back for staying home while we paid Instacart and Amazon drivers to risk their lives to shop for us.
YOU CAN CALL ME A GRANDMA KILLER. These shutdowns are evil and are criminal to the poor among us.

For the last few months, I've felt a gathering wind of support for the POTUS' reelection. The psychotic actions of the Left were pushing a lot of folks. I was hearing on the ground that in a few battlegrounds (WI & PA) it was a 1-point race (after last time, my trust in polls ..)
People who voted for him last time apprehensively were going to do so with enthusiasm. People who were likely R voters during normal years who didn't vote for him were going to pull the lever for him, too.
The last week has changed that. The enthusiasm has been totally sucked away, and a lot of the "I think I am going to actually do it!" folks are like "nah..." The POTUS' handling of getting COVID has totally sucked the air out of his sails.

The argument for reopening was that Americans could use common sense to do it safely. If the White House and Senators can’t do that, well, there goes the whole ship.
Part of the argument for reopening is that we should isolate the vulnerable and have the rest of us go about our daily lives as carefully as possible. That is not what this WH did. They put POTUS, Chris Christie and Herman Cain in the middle of super spreader events.
Days later we’re still seeing recklessness. POTUS signaling you can drive around with COVID and his Press Sec going to work for days after everyone she was in close contact with tested positive.

I'm having 2016 flashbacks and I'm not sure why Democrats aren't.
You've tried this strategy already. "I'm not Donald Trump" didn't work for you four years ago.

This is what happens when you spend years pretending that people voted for him because of a phantom Russian conspiracy instead of accepting that he won a legitimate election.
I know what the polls are saying, but I also know what they said last time too. I also know that when I drive around suburban MD I see almost no Biden signs, and when I drive in rural VA, I see wall-to-wall Trump signs.

I feel like if you’re a sexual offender of over 100 women and you’ve wreaked havoc the lives of countless people in a place, when you get out of prison you shouldn’t then move to the suburbs of that place. Because one of your victims may drive by you with all her kids in the car.
Maybe that’s just me. But I’m not a fucking sociopath who puts a camera in the bathroom of a religious building to get some nudies so what do I know?
Here’s to 5781! Shanah tovah everyone!
