We've been battling epidemic disease successfully all this century. Then COVID arrived when mentally disordered, sociopathic Trump is in the WH and when, double tragically, RW extremist, probably sociopathic Republicans control the senate. And refused to contain it.

The need for some "redemptive" PR is is entirely clear, but forget it. From them, that it's only about good intentions toward others is not credible. I will never forget or forgive the horrendous role Sanders and his camp played in bringing us to this.

That was yesterday. This morning the death toll's risen to 13,000. Current hopeful news is that it may not exceed 100,000.
If I were to vote in a presidential
primary today, I would vote for:
