This would appear to be directly applicable to what the Woodward book has revealed:

"Criminal negligence refers to conduct in which a person ignores a known or obvious risk, or disregards the life and safety of others. Federal and state courts describe this behavior as a form of recklessness, where the person acts significantly different than an ordinary person under similar circumstances."

That's Step One. Here's Step Two: when your criminal negligence results in someone's death, that is CRIMINALLY NEGLIGENT HOMICIDE.

When do the "Lock Him Up!" chants start?

Churchill: "I have nothing to offer but blood, toil, tears and sweat!"-- 1940, facing Nazi Germany.

Trump: "I have nothing to offer. No need---everything is great again!" ---2020, refusing to face the pandemic that has killed nearly 200,000, the loss of a third of all businesses, record unemployment, miles-long lines at food banks and a sea-change in race relations.

The whores who have actually compared Trump to Churchill should have the taste slapped right out of their nasty mouths.

This is usually stated as a joke but, in all seriousness, I would bet a significant sum that

Michelle Bachmann has IN FACT studied for every urine test that was administered to her.

She just said---on TV---that "Black transgender Marxists" are trying to destroy America by electing Joe Biden!

Don't believe that? SEE: https://deadstate.org/michele-bachmann-the-bible-warned-that-transgender-black-marxists-would-try-to-elect-biden/

How does one apply for a job in one of the just-announced border toll booths and

what are the starting salary and benefits? Do employees get to pack a pistol? Are official uniforms furnished? Badges?

Asking for a friend.

So, Trump, that paragon of virtue and fountain of wisdom, has said that it would be an

"insult to our nation" if Kamala ever became POTUS----------------

Times like this often make me wish---just for a moment---that I was not burdened with the civility, restraint and (usually) good manners that I have tried to maintain for the last several decades. Please believe me when I say that I am capable of profanity so creative and colorful that it has not only left hearers mute in astonishment, it has been known to stun guppies and tetras in aquariums across the room. But, that was in the past. I have now learned to convey my deep disgust without resorting to vulgar language. Ahem----

When Trump gets home tonight, I hope his mama runs out from under the front porch and bites him.

On Lake Travis, I wonder if, when asked if maybe he should slow down since small craft were being

swamped, the driver of one of th 40 footers sneered "Let them eat wake!"

"Ain't No Sunshine" (till Trump's gone)----with apologies to Bill Withers

Ain't no sunshine till he's gone
Nothin's good till he's away
Ain't no sunshine till he's gone
And he's been here way too long
We must lock him far away

Wonder if he'll really go
Or if he wants to make more dough
Ain't no sunshine till he's gone
Till we're done with Don the Con
We must lock him far away

And I know, I know, I know,
I know ,I know ,I know ,i know,
I know, I know, I know, I know,
I know. I know, i know, i know,
I know. I know, i know, i know,
I know. I know---
I ought leave old Trump alone
But AIN'T NO SUNSHINE TILL HE'S GONE!

There ain't no---

---roses in the Rose Garden
---brains between Trump's ears
---spine in the Congressional GOP
---decency or humility in the entire Trump tribe
---honesty in Kaleigh McEnany
---compassion in the White House
---tolerance or love in the Trump regime's words or actions

Finally, with a nod to the late great Bill Withers, "Ain't No Sunshine Till He's Gone!"

'Sall I got for now.
