From Madam Speaker

The Speaker of the House sent this to her colleagues. I see no lies told. Madam Speaker knows the truth of the occupant in the White House.

From The Speaker of the House

Dear Democratic Colleague,

This Easter Weekend provided me with a time for deeper prayer and reflection. This is an unbearably sad time with all Americans sharing the same devastating experience: we are grieving for those who have died from the coronavirus, we are fearful for our health and especially the health of our loved ones and we are heartbroken for our children who are unable to be in school and with their friends.

As Americans, we are suffering from pressures of economic hardship. All of us want to resume the precious and beautiful lives that America’s unique freedoms provide. We will overcome this moment, but success requires one fundamental from which all actions will follow: we need the truth. To succeed in this crisis, we must insist on the truth, and we must act upon it!

In order to move forward, we must first understand the truth of what has put us in this position:

The truth is that Donald Trump dismantled the infrastructure handed to him which was meant to plan for and overcome a pandemic, resulting in unnecessary deaths and economic disaster.

The truth is that in January Donald Trump was warned about this pandemic, ignored those warnings, took insufficient action and caused unnecessary death and disaster.

There is a special place in hell for each one of them, from the top and all the way down. May they rot there forevermore.

And we'd be hearing the complaints about how we overreacted. But at least our parents would still be alive.

And he just ignored the warnings. Even when the storm was in sight, he continued to ignore the warnings. Once it made landfall, he claimed it was no big deal, but it was too late. The damage was done. Anyone who has gone through a hurricane knows that you prepare for the eventuality that the eye of the storm lands directly over you. If it goes elsewhere, you breathe a sigh of relief that the path moved away from you, but you don’t regret preparing because that’s what you do when you’re about to get smacked. Trump is guilty of gross negligence.

If ANY other president in American history had acted in such a deranged manner, that led the the deaths of as many Americans as will be killed by this thing, he'd have been shot.

that we must put up with this shit for another 6 months till we can vote the idiot out and then another 2 months after that till he's finally ushered out. I could be over 100k deaths or more by then. The People should be able to the arrest the bastard and drag his ass out of there. It's so fucking frustrating!
