As the worldwide coronavirus death toll zooms past 100,000 — including some 18,000 in the United States — most everyone outside of President Trump’s demented cabal has concluded that the POTUS badly mishandled the U.S. response to the pandemic.
So awful have his daily coronavirus rants become that CNN quit broadcasting them — choosing instead to focus solely on the remarks of medical experts such as Dr. Anthony Fauci, director of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases — who, unlike the president, actually knows of what he speaks.
Esquire’s 查尔斯·皮尔斯 will have none of Trump’s banal blather.
There never has been an administration that better exemplifies the philosophical concept of, “You Be You” better than this administration* at the current moment. Neither rain, nor snow, nor sleet, nor worldwide pandemic will keep Camp Runamuck from its appointed spin, deception, and ass-covering.
It is increasingly clear that the president* is on the verge of taking the approach once recommended by Senator George Aiken in relation to the Vietnam War—declare victory and get out. He has set up all the elements of doing so. His enablers already have begun declaring victory now that it is becoming clear that social distancing is working. The president* is ready to get back to full operational misrule and, if things go badly wrong, and they will, he can blame the states, especially the ones with Democratic governors. He will then campaign on a field of bones as the man who stopped the epidemic.
I can hardly wait.
Neither can we. Just 207 days until the election, folks.

In case you missed it, the Daily Kos had an interesting article on Nebraska’s 2nd Congressional District race.
“Forty-eight states and Washington, D.C., have winner-take-all presidential contests. Whoever wins the state gets all of its electoral votes. The exceptions are Maine and Nebraska — both of which apportion an electoral vote to the winner of each of their congressional districts. As such, Democrats need to contest the Omaha, Nebraska electoral vote. Because believe it or not, there are several realistic scenarios that get us to a 269-269 tie. And in that scenario, we lose the election.”
We can win back that CD2 Blue Dot!
