Unfortunately for that commenter, the next president has plans to make him live with those people:

In moments of crisis, we look out for one other. And we need leaders with empathy who will bring people together rather than drive them apart. @JoeBiden has the character and experience to guide us through one of our darkest times and heal us through a long recovery. https://t.co/JkaBWYejKh

I don't see anyone out there proposing doing an India/Pakistan or Israel/Palestine type partition for us, do you?

And even when he's out of office, Trump's going to be out there until dies.

We have to learn to live with them in the same country, especially working against a pandemic and global warming. Actually, everyone in the world has to learn to get together on those two fights. You can't lock em all up or send them to the moon. Even ISIS is practicing social distancing, I read, it's not impossible.

I am not sure what is to be gained by assigning a value to people based upon their choices.

To be clear, I do that sort of thing all the time and will do that in the future.

In the present crisis, for a variety of reasons, the great divide between us citizens directly involves a factor that does not care what we think.

Either we get our shit together and find a way forward or we will be just like all those sad fucks in the past who did not do that and died.

That explanation makes sense.

That explanation makes sense.

It does assume that the agent can be managed by some set of boundary conditions rather than direct intervention. The magic doesn't work if you can see the sleight of hand.

We’ve reached a point where those who still support him literally have nothing in common with those of us who don’t. I don’t want to share a country with them. We’ve reached an impasse. Either you’re a decent human being who knows right from wrong, or you’re still supporting Trump. It’s really as simple as that.

-saw this comment....absolutely true.

Powerful people use Trump to increase their power and wealth because a lot of powerless, poor, and ignorant people vote and Trump seems to know how to get them to vote for him.

There is nothing to be gained

There is nothing to be gained any longer by highlighting the man's many disabilities.

He knows less about the world than my kid knew when my kid was seven years old. His privileged upbringing turned the world into a board game before he had sex. Sex is somehow mixed up in whatever happened with his development that must be central to his relationships with other people.

But I don't care. Somebody so ordinary cannot be the source of so much calamity. Why would powerful people use Trump for their own ends?

Nothing else matters.

To accept without blinking this gargantuan quantum of incompetence and corruption caused carnage is mind boggling.

Maybe the Supremes should take a field trip to witness 1st hand the trouble they've wrought, or at least the ones who think it's fun to vote under risk of life.

A plague that reaches a Superior Court Judge at work!!

Judge Dear’s coronavirus-related passing comes amid accusations that the state failed to halt court operations early enough to prevent the spread of the novel virus.

In-person proceedings were still in full effect until weeks after the virus hit New York, and now several judges have been infected, and multiple have died — including Dear and fellow Brooklyn jurist Johnny Lee Baynes.
