Let's start with the Press not referencing USA as America. Bolivia and Argentina are also in America, and co-opting it for the USA sounds arrogant and conceited.

'murikka - yeah, that's just us.

Yet this, from the Washington Examiner editorial of all places, says exactly what Trump is. “ ... When it came to the matter of testing, Trump also lied, and revealed staggering ignorance. In the face of questions about the disastrously slow rollout of testing in the U.S., Trump insisted, “Anybody that wants a test can get a test. That’s what the bottom line is.”

Yes, and that’s why I had hoped to get that entire quote in there, to reinforce your premise. If you haven’t read the entire Ed., please do. I was totally unprepared for that kind of criticism from them. Keep up the great work Eric.

And now Trump has posted a picture of himself playing a fiddle with the caption “Nothing can stop what’s coming” which is apparently a Q-Anon motto. This is so insane that it really should get a lot of attention, not just a passing reference from major media outlets like the NY Times but I am holding my breath.
