Trump "Never Noticed" A Modern-Day American Genocide
By Thom Hartmann A...
Donald Trump said in a rally last night that the coronavirus, "Affects virtually nobody."Apparently "virtually nobody" means 200,000 dead Americans, ranging in age from the elderly to infants.
Apparently he hasn't noticed the damage his lack of coronavirus response policy has done to our economy, and that tens of millions of people have lost their jobs and health insurance, and are on the verge of eviction, homelessness, and disaster.
Apparently he hasn't noticed how the coronavirus is affecting the Americans who have had the disease and are suffering long-term heart, lung, and brain damage.
Apparently he hasn't noticed all the people at high risk of death and serious disability who are sheltering in place, including people with asthma, heart disease, diabetes, obesity (40% of the American population) and people over 50.
Apparently he hasn't noticed that countries that took this virus seriously have only a few dozen, or at the most a few hundred deaths, while we are moving toward a quarter million people dead within a month or so.
Apparently he hasn't noticed that the herd immunity strategy has not worked well in countries like Brazil, and that if he continues to pursue a herd immunity strategy for America it means as many as 6 million dead Americans.
Apparently he hasn't noticed that neither Taiwan nor Japan ever shut down their economies and the Taiwanese economy is actually growing, because in both cases the countries based their response to the virus on nationwide mask-wearing and a testing and contact tracing strategy.
Apparently Trump never noticed that Anthony Fauci, the U.S.'s top infectious diseases expert, warned today that the country is "entering into a risk period" for rising coronavirus infections as autumn begins.
The one thing he definitely appears to have noticed is that this virus most easily kills elderly Social Security voters and Black and Brown people.
And to that end it appears he is trying to spread the virus as far and wide as possible. We should call this today what history will call it when it looks back upon this moment: genocide.

Stalin revisited. He wants to be in the club.

And THEN there are the 200,000 - 400,000 Newly Marked For Death Americans - by the end of THIS year, unless we adopt needed covid mitigation measures: https://covid19.healthdata.org/united-states-of-america?view=total-deaths&tab=trend

Why is it that the better part of those political representatives get assassinated?
Yet evil infuencers that produce evil influence seem to just go on?
In America!

I'm not in the man's mind nor am I his much needed analyst, but last night he told an all-white audience in northern Minnesota that they had "good genes." Then he painted a picture of the state being overrun by immigrants. With that view of the world I would not be surprised if he blew off all the Covid dead as "weak losers who couldn't take it", and so won't be missed. When you cannot feel empathy, when you think the world revolves around you, and when you don't give a damn about anyone else, massive deaths are as personally meaningful as computer generated people in a bad disaster movie.

Turdster plays with his very tiny willy with his very small hands while folk die
Loser!

What is it with throwback Germans and genes anyway? (Note: eugenics evolved in the United States long before Hitler adopted it.) Didn't the world resolve that issue in the middle of the last century?
By the way, the "master race" was defeated by anti-fascists, whom we call "the greatest generation" -- in other words, protesters, whom fake Attorney General Bill Barr would probably have charged with sedition.
If the Aryan race paragon of a tall, blonde, blue-eyed, lily-white superman has devolved into the absurd caricature of a fat Donald J. Trump wearing an oversized suit, a cartoonishly long tie, and a yellow, long-haired guinea pig adorning the top of his goofy orange head, well then, that race ain't so master, is it?

I guess if Prump can declare 3 All American cities "anarchy" jurisdictions, you could say what he is doing amounts to genocide. To put it mildly, he has went way beyond shooting someone in the middle of 5th Ave.
Just don't forget it will all depend on who is writing the history and editing or destroying the footage.

"I could stand in the middle of Fifth Avenue and shoot 200,000 people, and I wouldn't lose any voters."

Removing Thom's political bullshit and crazy Uncle Joe's promise of 200,000,000 dead before he finished his five minute speech, we have facts.

Moderator:
whatabout above is using this platform to disseminate highly dangerous misinformation from an unqualified YouTube influencer, who is misinterpreting data to debunk the scientific conclusions of actual pandemic experts and to play down the number of deaths as well as the critical importance of wearing masks and social distancing.
How many low-information victims will link to whatabout's bullsht source, let their guard down, contract the virus, and die?

Check out Rachel Maddow's latest exposé here.
How is consciously and deliberately downplaying a deadly pandemic, which has led to more than 200,000 Americans dying lonely, miserable deaths not an impeachable offense, much more so than the Ukrainian affair?!
Dr. Gupta indicated there is strong evidence that 70% of the COVID deaths in America could have been prevented had the Trump administration acted early to "play up" the unquestionably essential, doctor recommended safety precautions and PPE emergency manufacturing and distribution requirements. (No, Donald, you fcking moron, the word your confused mind is searching for is not "up-play," which you absolutely did not do, you fcking liar.) This is criminal negligence on the same scale as a major war crime worthy of a trial at The Hague International Criminal Court. The stats:
Regardless of the outcome, the House should quickly vote out this undeniably impeachable "high crime" and stick it to the Republicans in the Senate, which must take it up as their top priority per the Constitution. Get it on record and in the public consciousness before the election. Make Trump's Republican enablers squirm, as well they should!
It would also have the added benefit of throwing a gigantic monkey wrench into Moscow Mitch's nakedly hypocritical and patently unfair power-grabbing scheme to ram through Trump's SCOTUS nominee in record time. (Never forget Merrick Garland!) Plus, a mandatory impeachment process would significantly narrow the window for Republican Senators to defend their vulnerable seats on the campaign trail, which are more numerous than Democratic seats up for election.
Unfortunately, overly cautious Democrats don't play cynical hardball as well as overly shameless Republicans do, so don't expect top headlines on the matter any time soon when it could make a real difference. Trump and his consiglieres have screwed up things so badly that it's highly doubtful timid Democrats can ever put Humpty Dumpty back together again.
The fascist corporatization of America is nearly complete. We'll soon find out if the institutionalized, corporate-friendly Dems among us, weighing down the party, have the cajones it takes to seriously commit to reversing course and reclaiming our dying democracy. Fascism is America's clear and present danger, not socialism.

If you remember the recording from Woodward, he likes to downplay. If you remember what hospital workers wore garbage bags, you should know by now that we (United States) are not his priority. Remember this: his family and his party deliberately gave all the ventilators, masks, and other medical equipments to "white-dominant" or "red states" to save only white people (March 31, 2020) (April 1, 2020) and made money by states to compete for PPE in a freewheeling global marketplace rife with profiteering and price-gouging (Washington Post). I mean, his people and his family are anti-government people who are trying to destroy the U.S. Government as a whole.
These "whites only" people don't want to see non-white population to go up and make them (whites) become a minority (Birth Dearth) (Ben Wattenberg 1987) (former member of American Enterprise Institute).
Back in May, Florida scientist (Rebekah Jones) was fired for refusing to manipulate COVID-19 data (Florida Today)(USA Today network) and Florida Health Department officials told manager to delet coronavirus data before reassigning her, emails show (Tampa Bay Times).

Patriotism aside, only around 40% of eligible U.S. voters cast their ballots on November 5, 1918, compared with 50% in the previous midterm. Republicans won control of both House and Senate for the first time since 1908, marking a major defeat for Wilson and his foreign policy agenda.
The election's low turnout can't be entirely blamed on the flu. Around 2 million men were fighting in the war at the time, representing a high percentage of the U.S. voting population. (American women wouldn't get the right to vote until 1920.) Yet even if the flu only partially explains the voting drop-off, it undoubtedly had an impact.
"If just a fraction of the drop in turnout from 1914 to 1918 was due to the presence of the flu, then the disease was responsible for hundreds of people not voting," Marisam writes.
The political fallout from the 1918 election was real, too. Republicans in Congress, back in power, then blocked ratification of the Versailles Treaty and U.S. membership in Wilson's beloved League of Nations. In 1920, Warren G Harding won the presidency, spelling the end of the Progressive Era and beginning an era of Republican dominance that would last another 12 years.

Does anybody know that Federal law enforcement document reveals white supremacists discussed using coronavirus as a bioweapon?
White supremacists discussed plans to weaponize coronavirus via "saliva," a "spray bottle" laced items," according to a weekly intelligence brief distributed by a federal law enforcement division on Feb 17.
Federal investigators appeared to be monitoring the white nationalists' communications on Telegram, an encrypted messaging app that has become popular with neo-Nazis. In the conversations, the white supremacists suggested targeting law enforcement agents and "nonwhite" people with attacks designed to infect them with the coronavirus.
"Violent extremists continue to make bioterrorism a popular topic among themselves," reads the intelligence brief written by the Federal Protective Service, which covered the week of Feb. 17-24. "White Racially Motivated Violent Extremists have recently commented on the coronavirus stating that it is an 'OBLIGATION' to spread it should any of them contract the virus."
---------------------------------------------------March 21, 2020----------------------------------------------
Their (Trump and people in his circle) ultimate goal is to keep "white population" higher than "nonwhite" population to stay in power. Last thing they want is democracy, equality, and fairness because they want to stay on top of "nonwhite" people and be able to control them (just like slavery).
Remember these books: Birth Dearth (Ben Wattenberg), The Color of Law (Richard Rothstein), The Color of Money (Mehrsa Baradaran)

From Unequal Protection, 2nd Edition:
"Hartmann combines a remarkable piece of historical research with a brilliant literary style to tell the grand story of corporate corruption and its consequences for society with the force and readability of a great novel."
From Screwed:
"Hartmann speaks with the straight talking clarity and brilliance of a modern day Tom Paine as he exposes the intentional and systematic destruction of America’s middle class by an alliance of political con artists and outlines a program to restore it. This is Hartmann at his best. Essential reading for those interested in restoring the institution that made America the envy of the world."
From Screwed:
"Once again, Thom Hartmann hits the bull’s eye with a much needed exposé of the so-called ‘free market.’ Anyone concerned about the future of our nation needs to read Screwed now."
