Stephan:   What amazes me is that the Trump community and the Congressional Republicans don't seem  to understand, or may it's just that they don't care, that as a result of the incompetence of Trump and the orcs who served him at minimum tens of thousands of men, women, and children died.

    I wish I lived in New Zealand. I feel afraid of just leaving my home at this point; we have so many ignorant republicans who walk into stores with no masks even though a sign is posted on the front door which says no one is allowed in the store without a mask, and the stores I go to even will give you a mask if you do not have one.
