    I laughed so hard I couldn't breathe and was choking for air. The virus can't get me so you decided to take your shot?

    Come on, man. At this point if anyone is still riding the Trump train, they deserve some generalizations, no? We can at least say they’re into lame sounding acronyms, right?

    Trader Joes limiting chickens two per customer. We have all seen farmers and fishers destroying tons of food while store shelves are empty and people line up all day at food banks. The US Department of Agriculture has legal authority to purchase food directly from producers. In past emergencies the National Guard has been mobilized.to distribute good. But Secretary of Agriculture, one of the very best people, made no plans for maintaining supply chain in emergency and after five months continues to do nothing.

    Riding the Trump Train is a generalization. Calling out hypocrisy against him doesn't make one a rider. There are many that didn't vote for the guy or wouldn't.

    Pfizer, NYU working on innovative coronavirus vaccine that could be ready by end of summer

    "It is probably the fastest way of having a vaccine available to stem this pandemic, based on the data that I have seen,” a researcher said.

    Coronavirus vaccine expectations might be getting unrealistic

    Mounting promises on Covid-19 vaccines are fueling false expectations, experts say

    You'll have to be a bit more specific if you want to have a discussion about the hypocrisy you mention. (I think we might be discussing different things.)

    I will say, I am not blindly generalizing here. Some clear lines of admission have been drawn. I am confident in saying that anyone who still supports Trump today is harboring an ideology with a very ugly side. I do not say this lightly either... Members of my own family fall into this group (and they happen to be Southerns...just sayin').

    I say all this not to double-down on my previous lash out (although all of this is 100% driven by frustration), but because it's hard to watch people pretend everything is misconstrued or misunderstood or fake news or biased or whathaveyou. I'm over it...use Google for other sources, dorks. There is a body of evidence that Trump is the embodiment of the Bad America and at this point it isn't about political party but us, the people, ie Actual America. I respect Republicans that are like "Fuck that guy" more than most.

    A quick clarification: if you are talking about Biden and the accusations against him, I'm with you. Whether or not the allegations are true, I think it is a bad look to get into the "well, your candidate has assaulted more" talk. I wrote too much...

    Can I just say, Trump is 4-8 years.

    Hatred can last a lifetime....and have a much more long lasting and negative effect on a society. Just ask Black America.

    So while some of us have butted heads with Trump haters, it by no means we are pro Trump. It just means that we understand that hatred is not going to help anything. It can actually cause more long term societal damage than Trump.

    So now Trump is keeping the task force together because he didn't know how popular the task force was.
