It is no accident . . .
. . . that Frost/Nixon is now on Netflix.
I had forgotten what a swine Nixon was in ways tawdry and contemptible as well as larger and more frightening.
He and Trump are much of a muchness, the key differences being that Nixon was by far much better informed, much smarter, took his job a lot more seriously, and did it way, way better.
He really was a loyal man who wanted to leave America better off and stronger, within the limits of his insuperable petty vindictiveness and consuming ambition.
Trump would trash America in a fit of pique - if he hasn't already - and otherwise could not care less about the country or his actual job as president.
He is useless or worse in pretty much all respects, and has been since day one.

Treason: Bozo slams America with another body blow.
Poll finds sharp partisan divide over coronavirus as cases spike
This is Trump's doing. Keep that in mind.
Trump Follows Through on Threat to ‘Slow the Testing Down’
The Department of Health and Human Services has announced it will pull funding from more than a dozen drive-through testing sites across five states, including Texas, at the end of the month.
The move has left top Democrats incensed:
“The pandemic is clearly getting worse in states nationwide,” Sen. Patty Murray of Washington state, the ranking Democrat on the health committee, said in a blast to reporters, “and instead of trying harder to stop it, President Trump is apparently trying harder to hide it.”
Resources are not the issue.
This move comes after Democratic senators called out the administration for failing to spend nearly $14 billion that Congress appropriated to increase testing.
GOP senators push back on Trump administration plan to end support for testing sites
Texas Sens. John Cornyn (R) and Ted Cruz (R) on Thursday sent a letter to the Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) and the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) protesting the administration’s plans to cut back federal support of drive-thru COVID-19 testing sites in Texas and other states.
The senators called the testing sites “critical to Texas’ testing capacity” at a time the number of coronavirus cases in the state is spiking, hitting a peak of 5,551 new cases on Wednesday.
“Now is not the time to end a program that is working and successfully increasing testing capacity — especially for underserved communities in the state. Due to the recent rise of COVID-19 cases in Texas, cities need additional time to prepare for the transition to state and local control of the testing sites,” the senators wrote in a letter to HHS Secretary Alex Azar and FEMA Administrator Pete Gaynor.
Texas Gov. Greg Abbott announced Thursday the state will pause its reopening plan and ordered hospitals to halt elective surgeries to help deal with the crush of new cases.
I think I know why this is happening.
Many people have told me that Alex Jones has told them many people have told him that Trump is sabotaging testing as part of his term-long effort to undermine the national security of America to the advantage of Vladimir Putin's Russia.
It fits in with everything he has done to botch the federal response to this virus and wreck the American economy, everything to sabotage the response to the Floyd demonstrations, everything to undermine America's intelligence services and national security establishment and the confidence of Americans in them, and everything else he has done to weaken American institutions and subvert the US Constitution over the course of his entire term.
This is Trump's doing. Keep that in mind.

All of it for Putin and to wreck America.
Anyway that's what many people are telling me Alex Jones has said many people have told him.

As big a liar as any of the Trump gang
Barr claims Trump-Russia investigation was FBI attempt to 'sabotage' the president
The mainstreaming of utter bullshit conspiracy theories and baldfaced lies on behalf of the Republican Criminal in Chief has gone pretty far, I'd say.

MSNBC says Sanders "has suspended his campaign"
Campaign for what?
Is there going to be an election?
When? How?
Wisconsin voting mess sends a message for November
I would urge online voting is better than mail-in but I don't trust its integrity in a nation so deeply subject to the power of Trump and his allies, domestic and foreign.
It is certain that Republicans, a party that is ever more openly a national criminal gang, in the federal government, in state governments, and in local governments would actively work to enable Russian and other foreign opinion-forming operations as well as outright hacking on behalf of the politically vicious mob boss in the White House.
And I am entirely sincere in saying that.
Update.
Sanders is going on TV to make a formal announcement.
He is not expected to endorse Joe Biden.
Well, no.
Who would expect that from the most personally spiteful and bitterly anti-Democratic candidate for the Democratic nomination, ever?
Oh, is Bernie positive for the virus?
Update.
Actually, he congratulated Biden, called him a good man, and promised to campaign for him and work together with him to defeat Donald Trump, "the most dangerous president in history".
Trump urges Republicans to 'fight very hard' against voting by mail
Compare the things Republicans have to do to help their chances with the things Democrats want to do to help their chances.
What the GOP has to do is racist, Nativist, white nationalist, homophobic, misogynist, often outright criminal, and deeply anti-democratic.
What the Democrats want to do is just the opposite.
An increasingly politically imperiled oligarchy confronts an increasingly cogent and united popular opposition.

Russian interference a forbidden subject
Trump decided to replace his top spy chief after his aide told Congress that Russia is interfering in 2020 to help Trump win
Just more authoritarian thuggery from the enraged and unrestrained Crime Lord in the White House.
Every line of the story makes the reader sick.
But it's real, of course.
