You....you don't even get.  The reason.  The non-sequitur video.  Off topic. You. 


Back to the topic a bit, we are now learning that the test for Covid-19 may cost as much as $3,270.

Welcome to America! 

I genuinely wonder how Republicans/Trump/Conservatives can be so outright ignorant, stupid, and villainous and people still support them. Even if you trim away literally everything else Trump has done...this nonsense with how he's responding to the Coronavirus is...bafflingly bad. Like, it's so clearly obviously stupid. At first I wondered if maybe liberals were just exaggerating what he said or skipping out on details to make him look bad (Liberals do that, too; not as often as conservatives but they do it), but nope! 

Your US president is basically plugging his ears and going LALALALALALA CAN'T HEAR YOU. 

Your President. 

The person people voted for. 

The person people chose to represent them. 

Is acting like a 3 year old who doesn't want to eat his broccoli. 

This is not how ANYONE in ANY position of power should EVER be acting under ANY circumstances. How he managed to make it to the highest seat in the land despite having the cognition of a child, the maturity of a teen, and the unearned confidence of a first-year psych major is absolutely baffling. And the fact that he's likely to get reelected in 2020 saddens me to know end. 

Seriously, at this point we might just need to shut the US down and turn it back on again if this is how things are going. (Canada has Doug Ford as the premier of Ontario, so we're not doing much better, and we almost voted in Scheer as PM - would have given he won the popular vote, but Trudeau won more seats.)
