1. The first obligation of our Federal Govt is to protect us from outside threats.
Pandemic is outside threat of the highest magnitude, requiring testing to contain.
Obsessed by revenge for impeachment, Trump failed to provide tests until containment was impossible.
2. Instead of leading the Fed Govt response to this outside threat, lazy Trump left it to 50+ state & territorial governors, but they can't regulate travel within the US & can't respond effectively for the USA to a pandemic. Again, Trump has defaulted on his duties.

1. The body politic has been flipped. Using false & divisive narratives, Russians, Cambridge Analytica-type operations & media like Fox, Limbaugh, Alex Jones & Nat'l Enquirer engage our least educated voters & manipulate them 4 profit, politics & assaults on our democracy.
2. During the last decade user friendly social media platforms like fb & twitter on smart phones have made it possible 4 least educated to engage each other 4 first time & create & empower a huge community. Anti-democ forces have seized the opp to manipulate their new community.

The Constitution provides the Senate must have a majority of its members (51) present to conduct business. Without McCain the GOP only has 50. If Schumer is even half of McConnell, he'll hold all 49 DEM Senators out of the Senate to prevent a vote on Kavanaugh.
Refusing to be part of quorum should be easier than voting against 4 red state Dems, Jones & Manchin. Given McConnell's refusal to hold any hearings on Garland, GOP's hiding Kavanaugh's record & Trump's illegitimacy, any politician should be able to make this case to constituents

Pisses me off when NYT & WaPo reporters on TV attribute certain beliefs to Trump as if they can read his mind, like "Trump is worried about his son's liability" or "Trump really wants to sit down with Mueller." BULL FUCKING SHIT on both counts.
Trump is increasingly worried about holding on to his Manchurisn Presidency, not his son's liability which he can pardon.
If Trump dared/wanted to sit down with Mueller, he would push his lawyers out of the way. Any fool can see his claim is pure propaganda.
