To all the businesses no longer offering curbside pickup nor requiring customers to wear masks, there’s a large but quiet number of us who will not be shopping at your stores.

People are dying. Our economy is flounderin­g. And what is our president preoccupie­d with? Voter fraud! Well that, and not being seen in public with a mask. Masks are so wimpy, so humiliatin­g, so blue statish.

Where are all of the rabid, fighting-mad, spitting-fire Republican­s who turned the deaths of four people in Benghazi into a huge scandal? Where is their outrage at 93,000 deaths and 40 million people unemployed, that were avoidable? Can’t see to focus on that.

One minute, you’re young and fun. And the next, you’re turning down the stereo in your car to see better.

Now that Tiffany Trump has a law degree, when will Trump nominate her for the Supreme Court?

“Yes means no. No means yes. But only, maybe, sometimes.” If you understand this, you may understand the current administra­tion.

If Trump loses his reelection bid, I wonder how long it will take for his cabinet members, friends and Republican politician­s to say that they hardly know him. Never met him and never supported him.

The military has been voting by mail since the

Civil War without issue. Why is the Trump administra­tion against it? Figures show they are lying about voter fraud. Every American should have the right to vote by mail especially during a pandemic.

In January and February, President Trump praised China and their leader over 35 times for their openness and transparen­cy. He also tweeted a picture of 17 tons of PPE being delivered to China. If our “cupboards” were bare and Trump was too busy golfing to have them replenishe­d, why did we give away all of our supplies?

Donald Trump tweeted the Michigan governor must “set you free,” to Michigan residents so they can help in flood relief. Yes, a haircut, cheeseburg­er, and a workout at the gym are vital before heading out to battle the flood waters. Donald Trump never misses an opportunit­y to get in a dig at someone. While he’s a lousy president, he may be the greatest cheap shot artist of all time.

White House Press Secretary Kayleigh McEnamy said “You can go look up on ProPublica. There is a bipartisan consensus on that mass mail and voting can lead to fraud.” The ProPublica report she cited says “all types of voter fraud are rare, including mail-inballot fraud”.

Trump’s Doctor just says what Trump tells him or else he would be fired. Only people who do not tell Trump he is wrong are still working. Speak the truth and you are gone.

The choice is simple. Follow Biden and his sound advice from medical teams on how to run the country or follow Trump and his gut feelings with no medical training on how to proceed.

Could somebody (Bill Barr, are you listening?) please explain to the Lying, Impeached but not Convicted, DANGEROUS, Incredibly Stable Genius with the Great and Unmatched Wisdom & Small Hands (aka president “Fifteen going to Zero soon”) that those unlimited powers he claims are his through Article II of the Constituti­on would also have been the same unlimited powers granted to Barack Obama, so his whole bogus Obamagate thing could never have happened — the powers have no limits. Sorry, Donnie — you can’t have it both ways.
