If you don't think there have been extreme measures then there's just no point, is there?

Haha - r-wing propaganda. Keep stealing from the Treasury and when the SHTF, hope that the dumb constituency of the GOP won't notice.

The true damage was done BEFORE the virus with the tariffs - which have ruined the farmers - and the tax boondoggle which has stolen a trillion from the Treasury, leaving country in unnecessarily weakened state to deal with this Black Swan.

The only "True Americans' who will survive this will be the mega-rich - who are never hurt in events like these - but instead often are in a position to capitalize from it.

I'm surprised no one has mentioned this yet, so I will.



The Lincoln Project spent $10,000.00 in creating the ad.



They then bought a one-minute ad on the Tucker Carlson show, cost $5,000.00, knowing, or hoping, that President Trump would see the ad during one of his favorite television shows, and he would go ape crap.



It worked. That same night, at 1 a.m., Mr. Trump began spewing tweets slamming the ad.



The ad then went viral, with 17 million watching the next day.



Donations to The Lincoln Project zoomed to, I believe, 1 million dollars by the next day.



It was a brilliant idea. Show the ad on television once, for a select audience of one, and riches and fame would follow.

It's aimed at middle-schoolers that tell stupid jokes and debate like Pee Wee Herman. Know any?
