Fall Is Coming

 It's scary how high he is.  If the crash is proportional, it's ominous.  If there's anyone in America who should not be near steroids, it's Trump.  And he's getting closer to the Covid danger zone.  

Meanwhile, underneath the headlines of the officials reporting their infections,  the secondary spread to the innocent has begun.  Kellyanne Conway's daughter, who outed her mother's infection, has reportedly tested positive.  The wife of a New York Times White House reporter who tested positive, has herself tested positive.  They join the innocent victims of this regime--the children separated from their parents at the border, the thousands needlessly infected with the plague of our time, Americans facing evictions, hunger, poverty, inaccessible medical care, despair, and the millions whose lives are shredded by these viral failures, including schoolchildren.  And more.

Joe Biden (polling at 57% and 16 points ahead in the CNN poll) spoke clearly and sanely at Gettysburg:

"This pandemic is not a red state or blue state issue. This virus doesn’t care whether you live, or where you live, what political party you belong to, it affects us all. It will take anyone’s life. It’s a virus. It’s not a political weapon."

Of course it is evidence of how insane our politics have become that this (as well as most of the rest of this speech) has to be said.  But it does have to be said.  Trump and the R party have raised the denial characteristic of our time to a feverish high, four weeks before the election. The fall is coming.
