(25,896 posts)US Rep of Mass. It does not require a sign in and runs about five minutes. He takes on trump's failings, point by point, and expresses his frustration and regrets to his constituents while assuring them that he will continue to do his best by them, that we all will get through this. It's very moving.

"I have tried not to bring politics into my Facebook posts about the Fight Against Covid-19...but the incompetence and callousness being shown by the Federal Government cannot be ignored anymore.
Today's World is NOT about political party politics, nor is it a Game of who can post the 'funniest' slams against those that have other political views, or candidates from a party they do not support.
We'll (hopefully) have plenty of time in the Fall to get back to the backbiting and nasty humor from all sides
The vitriolic politics that have existed since at least the 1990's on has no appropriate place right now in 2020.
We must come together to beat this biological threat to Life, Liberty and the Pursuit of Happiness...all of us.
We the People must put petty politics aside, even if just this once, and join in Solidarity with those who are effectively making a difference, no matter where they lie on the political spectrum, and support them as fully as we can, without rancor or fear or hatred.
We must castigate and challenge and call out those whose selfishness, incompetence, and/or lack of effort are distracting The World from dealing effectively with alleviating this deadly situation; the economy will eventually recover - those who die needlessly will never recover.
And People are DYING due to the Federal Government's inept, confusing, and totally inappropriate response to the seriousness of the Covid-19 Pandemic. People who should have had long healthy & happy lives.

I share Joe Kennedy's shock and puzzlement, and his dedication to his constituent's well being to help them get through this with as few casualties as possible."
