For the past three-plus years, youve had to defend your pResident on a daily basis.
Youve had to come up with excuses for his inane tweets, his idiotic statements, his lies his obvious stupidity.
Youve had to make excuses for the big ticket issues, as well paying hush-money to porn stars, locking kids in cages and even bigger stuff, like giving classified information to the Russians, standing with Putin against his own country.
And then things got really sticky when you had to defend him for shaking down Ukraine in exchange for the financial aid they desperately needed and that included having to make excuses for yourselves when you acquitted him of what amounts to treason.
Well, now its a whole new ballgame, isnt it? Now you have to make excuses for your pResident ignoring information about Covoid-19 in order to protect his re-election campaign, and for lying about it after the fact. You have to make excuses for his incompetence in handling the pandemic, and for yourselves for enabling and supporting that incompetence.
But now you have to make excuses for people dying people who wouldnt have died if a competent response had been initiated at the outset, had your pResident and your party members not tried to convince the populace that they were safe when you knew they werent, had your pResident not decided that his poll numbers were more important than preparing the nation for what was inevitably to come.
Let me impart something most of us learned in Common Sense 101. Nothing unifies people like facing a common crisis, especially a life-or-death crisis like a pandemic. And united people tend to look for a common enemy to blame for their circumstances especially when they realize that that enemy precipitated those circumstances, and did so to protect their political power instead of protecting them.
So guess what, Republican powers-that-be? Tag youre IT! You and your pResident are now the common enemy that allowed peoples parents, children, neighbours and friends to die. You are the reason that our first responders are risking their lives to treat the sick and the dying because they lack the protective gear and equipment to do so safely.
Your president is the direct cause of incalculable physical, emotional, and psychological suffering among your fellow citizens and you are the party that is busy making excuses for him, same as always.
You know, its one thing to come up with bullshit PR spin to cover for dalliances with porn stars or even inconvenient-but-damning testimony from witnesses to your pResidents treason. Its quite another thing to try to excuse-away sitting back and watching Americans sicken and die while protecting a self-serving madman who believes his re-election is more important than any one life, no less tens of thousands of lives.
So yeah, GOP youre IT! Now run along and spin your pResidents choice to put his re-election chances above the health, safety, and financial well-being of the citizenry into being something noble. Come up with excuses as to why he withheld life-saving information from the people he swore to protect. Conjure up excuses for his self-serving lies, along with his incomparable incompetence.
And good luck trying to sell that BS in November cause I got a feeling that despite any shortages we might be facing in future, pure unadulterated bullshit aint gonna be flying off the shelves.

If you are Donald Trump you can lie, cheat, steal, threaten, buy off and grab anyone by their Genitalia then walk away. This Pandemic is Donald Trumps dream come true your lives are in his hands.
