I was wrong, this is not negligent homicide, it's pre-meditated murder.

From the very beginning Trump tried to cover up a pandemic. (NUTS!) He was worried about a bad economy hurting his re-election, not our lives. That's pre-meditated and it killed people. He knew it would kill people.

Then Trump did what he does best. He put in a plan to cover his ass which has killed thousands of Americans. He declared a National emergency and then declared the governors are in charge when it comes to testing, getting protective gear for our doctors and nurses. He did this so he could blame the governors for the death toll. That is fucking ridiculous. This was pre-meditated and it has killed thousands of Americans.

Trump did not declare a nationwide shutdown. He left it up to the governors for the same reasons. So he could shift the blame, protect the economy. That was pre-meditated and it killed people. He knew it would kill people.

Trump made a choice, treat the economy as a national emergency and use the full power of the federal government to try to protect it. Declare the health crisis as a national emergency, then refuse to use the full power of the federal government to protect the people. He lied and declared the states are in charge in order to cover his own ass. This was pre-meditated and it has killed thousands of Americans.

In general, for many years the American people have become a people who fail to recognize who attacks them, hurts them, destroys their lives, kills them. I refuse to be like so many Americans.

Trump is killing us. It is pre-mediated. In my opinion Trump is a mass murderer. Every day the American people allow him to remain in office is another day of mass insanity.

As we already know the states ... CAN NOT ... get their programs perfected because FEMA keeps intercepting the market process involving states.

He's abandoned America ... he should be impeached for this alone

are taking charge of supplies, and charging what they want to charge. He is as unqualified for his position as the Orange Turd is for his, yet HE is making life and death decisions. The entire grifting family, plus the useless, ineffective gop HAS TO GO.

That he gets to "open up the economy" and the Governors have no say in the matter.

He is exploiting this plague for profit and for the sheer psychopathic glee of murdering hundreds of thousands, or millions, of innocent human beings.

A lot of hard line commies still aren't over the fact that dictatorship / communisim is the worst of two main governing options.

but unlike yourself they have the power to stop it. But they don't.

The day he is convicted and hung for all these murders his enablers should all hang with him.

which is step#1 to reopening the economy.

1 sailor has died from the USS Theodore Roosevelt and almost 600 tested positive. Captain Crozier followed protocol, went up the chain of command and was ignored, most likely on orders from the CIC, cadet Bone Spurs. Crozier is a hero, how many more sailors would have died because Trump wants to hide the numbers.

I hope the Navy takes this more serious now, there are a lot of other floating petrie containers out there.

And it is definitely mass murder.

He simply doesn't care how many people die, as long as he is reelected.

I knew by the end of January this virus would be a problem.
My personal goal was to take my son to Oklahoma to visit the town he remembers before the age of six. It's his first memories of his older brother, who died just over two years ago.

I had a long delayed colonoscopy that detected a possible cancerous polyp and was scheduled for surgery the first week in February. I didn't know if chemotherapy would be needed, but I prepared a list of questions about travel in between treatments. By the time the chemo was not required (Whew!), the third week of February, Montana and Oklahoma had reported cases and I knew this was going to be bad. My family and i started cleaning more and watching where we went, who we had contacts with and so far we are all healthy.

Don't tell me it was anything but willful ignorance on Trumps part to deny prroblems and profiteering in January February and March.

I can't wait to see what he pulls out of his ass in April.

I intend to see Dipshit loose the election, walk or be dragged out of the White House and our country being restored.

The MSM was following and updating news about this virus in China then it suddenly appeared in Washington State.
That was my WTF/ Yikes moment. A month later it was, I'm so glad I didn't book airline and hotel reservations.
