Trump wanted to be coronated as king. Instead, he's been corona-ted.
Barack finally endorsed Biden.

If Bernie supporters solidly support Biden, he has an excellent chance to replace Trump as President. Otherwise....
btw... My room mate informed me this morning that the bailout bill, that passed and was signed by our "Ferless Leader, himself, included a provision, well buried in the bill, that will give, not $1200 dollars, but $1,000,000 to 47 thousand of the wealthiest citizens of the U.S.
Yeah, that's not a typo, that's 47 Billion dollars going to the top one and a half percent of wealth in the United States...
I haven't done the fact check on that but my room mate is not the kind that goes around making such statements if He hasn't done that himself.... not usually, anyways.
Anyone else heard anything about that?

And what an irony that at 750k confirmed cases and almost 40k that did not survive, America seems to be most underdeveloped in handling this pandemic. Sad really. However, given Europe and America (which mainly constitute the developed Western world) are having it the toughest during this pandemic, perhaps one of the messages of this pandemic is: time to get a grip on those egos and eat the humble pie, and stop associating certain things with only certain political geographies, which sort of divides the world in a condescending manner.I feel being an American, I'm the least likely (among other nations) to have such an epic history of crises, tragedies and extreme disasters, it caught America off guard to have a pandemic we usually expect in an underdeveloped country.

Well then the CDC site needs to clearly highlight the risk of orange fever and develop a vaccine against itNot fair! You have to factor in the constant exposure in the U.S. to a President with a sickening personality. He just won't stop broadcasting his disgusting aura, or show any concern for anything except the economy regarding how it will affect his chances for reelection.

Sorry, but that large country bit is illogical for me. I live here and am more than aware of the problems of large USA. Since China is a sore example, let us look at India- now that is huge compared to USA. We are comparing 1.3 billion with what a mere 332 mill. And over and above that the US is supposed to be wealthier, tech more advanced, much more space so population is more spread out, etc. and has simply failed to curtail this pandemic and that is the real truth of the matter regardless of how one tries to defend the US. Case closed.Compared to one case in Jan, a 1000 in end of Feb, 150k in end of Mar and now 750k (CDC and other sources place a range from 620k-780k) cases. The USA is a large country the size of continental Europe where there are now over a million cases. There are active cases, recoveries (dismissed from hospitals, but not home quarantines), deaths (again at hospitals, nursing homes and private homes) and estimated numbers who are asymptomatic carriers. The USA has shown lack of preparation, open information and a tendency to deny covid19. I'm not sure if China where the virus began was more affected than the USA.

Other countries and their leaders are broadcasting what this man does in our country. The hypocrisy, the lack of help to his own people, etc.
Its rather embarrassing, but then again I recall flying for my very first trip to Egypt back in 2004, and sitting next to a young Egyptian man who was dual citizens of the U.S. going home to visit his parents in Alexandria.
I spent the entire 10 hours practically, flying over the ocean, apologizing for G.W.Bush and his fake war in Iraq. When we were back there in 2016, once again, I was apologizing for even having someone as a potential for a once great country like the U.S.A. with a nominee such as DJT. This was in the Fall, because my husband's birthday was October, and before the Presidential Elections.
When Britishers, visitors from Scotland who was our neighbor there, and even the Egyptian landlord asked us "how could the U.S.A. of all countries, have such a nominee?" We seriously, could not imagine it ourselves, and said, "Don't worry, he'll NEVER get in."
Boy did we underestimate people's stupidity in the USA then. I always use to tell my husband (a Libra Sun cj.Neptune cj. Venus in 11th house, with Scorpio Rising. "you aren't realistic enough, and you give people FAR too much credit "..... .........and this time we BOTH did.
Never forget, the MAJORITY of the American people did NOT elect him. And, the mainstream media was saying that there was NO WAY he would become President, all the while giving him over a $Billion in free publicity.
