“House Democrats passed a bill specifically designed to deal with this mess two and a half months ago,” Krugman notes. “The Trump Administration and Senate Republicans had plenty of time to propose an alternative.

This is an astonishing failure of governance — right up there with the mishandling of the pandemic itself.” READ MORE...

Mandatory masks driving some people crazy...
Continued...Dr. Richard Stutt, a postdoctoral research associate at Cambridge University. says, "essentially every country that has used masks has done better than every country that hasn’t." As an example, until recently, seven months into the COVID-19 pandemic, Donald Trump has refused to wear or recommend face masks, and the United States ranks number one in the world for coronavirus cases. Trump's recent impotent support is an insult to Americans.
It was just recently that...

Donald Trump brings U.S. to the level of idiocracy
Continued..."Mike Judge’s movie “Idiocracy” came out in 2006: Luke Wilson plays an average Joe who is put into suspended animation and reawakens 500 years later to find himself the smartest person in America because everyone else has gotten so dumb.
