Guaranteed fresh until stamped date.
this is the lost generation, the end of the century, the empty vessel at the end of Creation & this is their song,
Hollow hearts & singing broken guitars the highest heater core of spirituality, & remember one thing:
when that dinosaurus lifts his old Augean stomache, & lets the pale & putrid moonlight of tomorrow seep out, they will find us there, sprawled in the alleyways of possible ecstasy,
the hopeless giants, the end, the lost tribes of crazed Indian poets, sprawled on the shores of the poisoned Hudson, vomiting words onto paper, saying it & saying nothing:
that Zero is a riot, my friend, that Zero is a rockin’ good way to die.

Where have I heard this before? Oh yeah, 112,000 DEATHS AGO back in February, he said “It’s going to disappear. One day it’s like a miracle, it will disappear.”
Wishes instead of Leadership.
Many more examples of his wishful thinking and lies here at this New York Times article.

Hong Kong: 7.5 million residents, and receives 3 million travelers a day from abroad
Only six deaths from Covid-19 despite having no lockdown.
The key secret of Hong Kong’s success is that the mask compliance rate during morning rush hour is 97%.
“The only thing you can do is universal masking, that’s what stopped it,” Professor Kwok Yung Yuen said.

I’m so sick of the lies, the meanness, the lack of leadership. Winning? Only in COVID cases. The entire world is looking at us and laughing
Look at this graph. We are losing the COVID battle because there is no national leadership, and worse, the national leadership is not stressing the correct thing to do (WEAR MASKS).
America’s second wave is now higher than its first.
NOTE: The population of the EU (the red line) is bigger than the USA.
Check out a sampling of the falsehoods and distortions from him last week:
AP FACT CHECK: Trump’s see-no-evil posture on coronavirus
Chris Hayes Calls For Trump To Resign: ‘Urgent Matter Of Public Health, Public Safety’
He cannot articulate a reason why he deserves a second term.

He also told Hannity that Joe Biden is “gonna be your president because some people don’t love me, maybe.”
Actually, the entire Republican party is complicit in supporting Trump’s behavior at every turn, and therefore horrible as well.
For example…
Let’s face it, if a GOP politician actually cared about anti-mask ranty guy, they’d say to him “sir, the coronavirus is very real and dangerous, especially to those over 60, so I urge you to wear a mask to protect yourself and those you love.”
This is why some call today’s GOP a “death cult.” They’d rather lie about climate change than take action that might save the lives of their great-grandchildren. They’d rather see their base infect each other in churches and hair salons than admit the virus is real.
What does it say about a political party that it can’t even muster the integrity to say to its own supporters “I hear you, but you’re wrong, and if you continue down this path you are endangering your life and the lives of those around you?”
How does someone who understands science continue to be associated with such an irresponsible party and also continue to sleep at night? I don’t know what monstrous threats they think Trump’s GOP is protecting the nation from…but they must be pretty huge.

It feels like we the people have had enough.
