Death and the MAGAts
How is Trump killing Americans today?
He wants to make a speech to the graduating class of the Military Academy at West Point in June, which would require over a thousand cadets to return to campus. He wants Pence to do the same thing to the Air Force Academy. The Naval Academy doesn't get a speech because they made him look stupid and callous over the matter of Captain Brett Crozier.
New York City's Poison Control Center fielded an unusually high number of calls from people who were worried about possible ingestion of household cleaners. None has died or required hospitalization so far.
Apprentice grifter Jared Kushner is flying medical supplies from China, at public expense, and turning them over to a private company called Medline for sale to the highest bidder. At the same time, VA hospitals are short of personal protective equipment.*
If a coronavirus vaccine is developed, anti-vaxers led by Ammon Bundy will undermine it as they already have undermined measles, rubella and other vaccination programs. For freedom.
A perfect storm of ignorance, religiosity and greed is killing churchgoers in the Bible Belt. More freedom.
Now we know why chloroquine was being hawked as last month's "What have you got to lose?" miracle elixir -- the company that makes it, Oracle, is owned by Larry Ellison, who helped make America great again by holding a Trump fund-raiser in the well-named Rancho Mirage, California. Trump has millions of people convinced that he's super rich, but the Bank of China says otherwise.
There's always time in Trump's busy schedule for old grudges. Congress voted a $10 billion "loan" to the Postal Service, but he won't approve it unless they charge Amazon more. Some people, like Joe Biden, suspect a ploy to shut down the USPS in order to prevent voting by mail. Screw the post office, screw Amazon, screw the vote-by-mail blue states, and even some screw left over for Utah because Mitt Romney. A good day's work.
Are we a failed state (George Packer) or the object of the world's pity (Fintan O'Toole)? We can be both. We contain multitudes.
*Kushner doesn't seem like much of a reader. Who told him about Milo Minderbinder?
