Others
Share the President’s Guilt
Saw on the TV this morning
that the President was speaking at a fundraiser for his re-election campaign.
It is beyond my comprehension that any American can contribute to this person’s
re-election funding without becoming a party to his incompetence and unwillingness
to recognize and deal with the Coronavirus pandemic in this country.
Other nations have managed to
reduce the numbers of their people who are infected and spreading the disease. We have not and the reason is that we have an
ignoramus in the White House and gullible and ignorant office holders
throughout the country who are willing to listen to and believe what he and his
appointees say. (Dan Patrick,
Lieutenant Governor of Texas, where the Coronavirus is raging, thinks he knows
more than the doctors and scientists fighting the disease and criticizes
them. There are “Dan Patricks” all over
the country.)
Reopening the gates of
Disneyworld in Florida, one of the most affected and infected States in the
country, are the acts of madmen.
Governors like Florida’s DeSantis, and anyone who supports him must
share the President’s guilt. (See following article on this posting.) Elsewhere
in the world there is leadership. In the
White House, we have a fool. And many
Americans do not see that. They fail to
recognize that the Emperor has no clothes, as the story goes.
When the history of the
Coronavirus in the United States is written sometime in the future, the
responsibility for its toll in lives will be pinned on those who supported the
President and that includes any and all Americans who voted for any Republican
who failed to recognize the truths about the spread of the Coronavirus as
backed by medical evidence. And that
describes most Republicans. Ask
one. One who is an exception is
columnist Michael Gerson who recently asked (and was quoted on this blog)
whether Americans will have to be “jerked toward sanity by the sight of rapidly
filling graves”?
Without his enablers, the
President is nothing. The Coronavirus
will be conquered when his enablers desert him. Sadly, many are too gullible or ignorant to
do that. Some even cheer him and pledge
money at his fundraisers, which amounts to digging some other American’s
grave. Waiting for his defeat on November
3 will be too long to wait for the many who will unnecessarily contract and
spread the virus until then, some of whom will become sick with Covid19, some
of whom will die.

Impeach Governor
DeSantis
The misfeasance, non-feasance
and possibly the malfeasance of Florida’s Governor in dealing with the Covid19
infections arising from the Coronavirus Pandemic certainly, in my opinion,
rises to the level of a misdemeanor.
In “opening up” Florida’s
business and social environments contrary to the criteria established by the
CDC and the sound advice of medical professionals, he has permitted the spread
of the virus and an increase in the number of deaths attributable to it, which
would not have occurred if the CDC’s criteria had been adhered to, preferring
to follow the recommendations of the President of the United States, who also
disregards the CDC’s recommendations and those of the medical profession. Both put political agendas before the health
of Americans.
This makes him subject to
impeachment by the Florida House of Representatives (Florida Constitution -
Article Three, Section Seventeen).
Because this requires a 2/3 vote of the Florida House, this is unlikely
to happen unless the spread of the virus and the resultant deaths, which have
already turned Florida into an epicenter of the Pandemic, causes the otherwise
docile Republican voters of the State of Florida to exert pressure on their
Representatives and the Governor, opening the door to his impeachment. The Democratic minority in the Florida House
of Representatives is already at this point.
All they need is the support of the Republican majority and that is up
to the pressures the citizens of Florida can and should exert.
The impeachment
of Governor DeSantis is a matter of life and death for Floridians.
